Obesity has been recognized as a chronic disorder by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and was first reported in the Paleolithic age. In the recent years there has not been an international collaborative that facilitates professional cooperation on a worldwide level to increase the output of high-level evidence in the fields of obesity treatment and metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). In other surgical and medical fields, international collaborative research networks have shown to increase the quality and amount of treatment-changing evidence. In general, Global Collaborative Research in MBS (GCRMBS) should have the following goals: (1) clinical specialty-based research in obesity and MBS, (2) designing research protocols and studies to generate long-term data in obesity and MBS, (3) understanding the uncommon/rare complications and events associated with obesity and MBS, (4) increasing the number of participants in research and (5) investigating ethical and racial disparities in bariatric research. This review gives an overview of the current status and the future of international collaborative research in MBS.
肥胖已被世界卫生组织（WHO）确认为一种慢性疾病，最早可追溯到旧石器时代。近年来，一直没有一个国际合作组织能够促进全球范围内的专业合作，以增加肥胖治疗和代谢与减重手术（MBS）领域的高水平证据产出。在其他外科和医学领域，国际合作研究网络已被证明可以提高治疗变革证据的质量和数量。一般来说，全球 MBS 合作研究（GCRMBS）应具有以下目标：（1）肥胖和 MBS 的基于临床专业的研究，（2）设计研究方案和研究，以产生肥胖和 MBS 的长期数据，（3）了解与肥胖和 MBS 相关的罕见/罕见并发症和事件，（4）增加研究参与者的数量，以及（5）调查肥胖研究中的伦理和种族差异。本综述概述了 MBS 国际合作研究的现状和未来。
