..The cohort consisted of 9,728 individuals. In adjusted models, those with BMI of 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2 or 30.0 to 34.9 kg/m2 had a lower hazard of death (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.69‐0.92 and adjusted hazard ratio: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.60‐0.93, respectively) compared with those with BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2. Conclusions… Continue reading #BMI and All‐Cause #Mortality in a Population‐Based Cohort in Rural South Africa

#Life Expectancy after #Bariatric Surgery in the Swedish Obese Subjects Study
Obesity shortens life expectancy. Bariatric surgery is known to reduce the long-term relative risk of death, but its effect on life expectancy is unclear.. ..In total, 2007 and 2040 patients were included in the surgery group and the control group, respectively, and 1135 participants were included in the reference cohort. At the time of the… Continue reading #Life Expectancy after #Bariatric Surgery in the Swedish Obese Subjects Study
Genetic and Environmental Influences on Blood #Pressure and Body #Mass Index in the National Academy of Sciences–National Research Council World War II Veteran Twin Registry
Blood pressure (BP) and obesity phenotypes may covary due to shared genetic or environmental factors or both. Furthermore, it is possible that the heritability of BP differs according to obesity status—a form of G×E interaction. This hypothesis has never been tested in White twins. The present study included 15 924 White male twin pairs aged between… Continue reading Genetic and Environmental Influences on Blood #Pressure and Body #Mass Index in the National Academy of Sciences–National Research Council World War II Veteran Twin Registry
Prevalence and Prognostic Significance of #Malnutrition in Patients With Acute #Coronary Syndrome
Malnutrition is associated with poor prognosis in a wide range of illnesses. However, its prognostic impact in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is not well known.. ..In this study, the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), and the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) was applied to 5,062 consecutive patients with ACS.… Continue reading Prevalence and Prognostic Significance of #Malnutrition in Patients With Acute #Coronary Syndrome
Effects of Time-Restricted Eating on #Weight Loss and Other Metabolic Parameters in Women and Men With Overweight and #Obesity
.. Participants were randomized such that the consistent meal timing (CMT) group was instructed to eat 3 structured meals per day, and the time-restricted eating (TRE) group was instructed to eat ad libitum from 12:00 pm until 8:00 pm and completely abstain from caloric intake from 8:00 pm until 12:00 pm the following day.

Associations of #BMI and Serum #Urate with Developing #Dementia: A Prospective Cohort Study
Recent studies suggested that higher BMI and serum urate levels were associated with lower risk of developing dementia. However, these reverse relationships remain controversial, and whether serum urate and BMI confound each other is not well established.. ..During a median of 8.1 years of follow-up, a total of 2138 participants developed dementia. People who were… Continue reading Associations of #BMI and Serum #Urate with Developing #Dementia: A Prospective Cohort Study
#Obesity Has a Stronger Relationship with Colorectal #Cancer in Postmenopausal Women Than Premenopausal Women
Background: To examine the relationship between obesity measured by waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) and the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Methods: A total of 1,418,180 premenopausal and 4,854,187 postmenopausal women without cancer at baseline and aged over 40 were identified using the Korean National Health Insurance… Continue reading #Obesity Has a Stronger Relationship with Colorectal #Cancer in Postmenopausal Women Than Premenopausal Women
#Migraine, obesity and body #fat distribution – a population-based study
Obesity has been linked to an increased prevalence of migraine, and to increased migraine attack frequency, but several questions are left unanswered by previous studies. We examined the relationship between obesity and headache in a large, population-based study where we could take into account body fat distribution, migraine subtypes and tension-type headache.. ..Both total body… Continue reading #Migraine, obesity and body #fat distribution – a population-based study
