Abstract
The prevalence of obesity in the modern world is increasing. Obesity is an independent risk factor for some rheumatic diseases and also worsens their course. The presence of chronic joint disease can make it difficult for obesity to reduce activity, creating a vicious circle where joint pain makes exercise difficult and being overweight exacerbates joint pain. At the same time, there is a conditionally radical method of treating obesity — bariatric surgery (BS), which is currently used when conservative methods are ineffective. The purpose of this review is to analyze the data presented in the world literature on the impact of BS on the course of the most common rheumatic diseases. The available data show the possibility of a positive effect of BS not only on weight loss, but also on the course of a number of rheumatic diseases.
