General objective: to monitor variations in weight and body composition as well as metabolic, cardiovascular and pulmonary comorbidities introduced by surgery for obesity. Secondary objective: to study tissue, vitamin, cellular and systemic physiopathological changes (metabolic and inflammatory phenomena, insulin resistance) induced by bariatric surgery.

To quantify the long-term iatrogenic effects of childhood cancer treatment.

The main objective of the study is to improve knowledge about the long-term health and social outcomes for children and adults cured of cancer. The FCCSS particularly focuses on:
- Estimating the incidence of iatrogenic diseases occurring after long-term treatment of a childhood tumour;
- Identifying and quantifying risk factors associated with these diseases in order to reduce iatrogenic risks and customise treatment;
- Identifying clinical markers of the progression of these diseases in order to improve early diagnosis and treatment
- Implementing customised follow-up consultations and the preventative actions required.

This study was implemented in order to increase knowledge on the long-term social and health implications of cancer treatment received during childhood.
The FCCSS follows the Euro2K study, which showed that survivors of childhood cancer are at a significantly high risk of serious iatrogenic events (e.g. long-term mortality, second cancer, diabetes, cardiac diseases, and cerebrovascular disease).

To determine the incidence and economic effects of pneumonia in elderly people residing in institutions for dependent elderly people (EHPADs).
