Weakest Link Practice Test

Which is NOT listed as a co-morbidity for BMI >= 35 surgery qualification?

Vitamin D deficiency T2DM OSA NAFLD

Correct Answer:

Vitamin D deficiency

Explanation:

Bariatric surgery eligibility for someone with a BMI of 35 or higher is often tied to obesity-related health problems. Among the common comorbidities used to support surgery approval are type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, because these conditions are closely linked to obesity and typically improve after weight loss. Vitamin D deficiency, while very common in obesity, is a nutritional deficiency rather than a disease state used to justify surgical qualification, so it isn’t listed as a qualifying comorbidity. That’s why this option is the one that isn’t counted toward the BMI 35 surgery criteria.
