Abstract
In recent decades, the prevalence of obesity has been steadily increasing in most countries of the world. Overweight is a risk
factor for a wide range of endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, metabolic, neoplastic and musculoskeletal disorders and
diseases. As you know, obesity is a state of chronic inflammation and severe oxidative stress, which will certainly affect the
length of the chromosome telomeres. The dynamics of telomere length changes plays a decisive role in the regulation of cellu lar processes and cellular changes. Damage to telomeres, chromatin structures that help maintain the stability of the genome,
leads to cell death or aging. However, information on how telomere length changes after weight loss through bariatric surgery
remains limited to date. There are several types of bariatric surgery, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. Based
on this, it is possible that the restoration of the telomere length will differ depending on the technique used. This review de scribes the mechanisms for shortening leukocyte telomeres, and how bariatric surgery can affect this. The review also includes
an analysis of evidence linking obesity and accelerated aging processes, as they are regulated by telomeres
