At pre-randomisation 46.1% (n 330\/716, 95% CI 42.4% to 49.7%) met clinical case criteria for anxiety and 48.2% (n 343\/712, 95% CI 44.5% to 51.8%) for depression. Among participants returning completed 12 months post-randomisation questionnaires (HADS-A n 503\/716, HADS-D n 498\/712), there was a significant reduction in the proportion of clinical cases with anxiety (\u22129.5%, 95% CI \u221214.3% to -4.8% p&lt;0.001) and depression (\u221222.3%, 95% CI \u221227.0% to \u221217.6% p&lt;0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Almost half of people undergoing bariatric surgery had underlying anxiety or depressive symptoms.
