The
SOSS study determined that the improvement in blood pressure ten years post-bariatric surgery was not statistically different from blood pressure in the non-surgically treated controls in whom weight reduction was not retained.
Consistent with other studies that address the racial and ethnic effect on welfare policies (see Howard, 1999;
