More than one in three adults in Belgium is currently overweight and 16% are obese. Furthermore, roughly one person in every hundred has had so-called “bariatric” surgery. In 2019 the KCE had already published an initial study on this type of surgery (KCE report 316, 2019), confirming that this operation is more effective than the traditional methods aimed at weight loss.
