#Colorectal Cancer Risk Following #Bariatric Surgery in a Nationwide Study of French Individuals With Obesity

aledopress

..The mean (SD) follow-up was 6.2 (2.1) years for patients who underwent adjustable gastric banding, 5.5 (2.1) years for patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, and 5.7 (2.2) years for patients who underwent gastric bypass. In total, 13 052 incident colorectal cancers (1.2%) and 63 649 colorectal benign polyps were diagnosed. The rate of colorectal cancer was 0.6%… Continue reading #Colorectal Cancer Risk Following #Bariatric Surgery in a Nationwide Study of French Individuals With Obesity

#Waist circumference as a vital sign in clinical practice: a Consensus Statement from the IAS and ICCR Working Group on Visceral #Obesity

aledopress

Despite decades of unequivocal evidence that waist circumference provides both independent and additive information to BMI for predicting morbidity and risk of death, this measurement is not routinely obtained in clinical practice.. We argue that BMI alone is not sufficient to properly assess or manage the cardiometabolic risk associated with increased adiposity.. ..We recommend that… Continue reading #Waist circumference as a vital sign in clinical practice: a Consensus Statement from the IAS and ICCR Working Group on Visceral #Obesity

#Eating Jet Lag: A Marker of the Variability in Meal Timing and Its Association with #Body Mass Index

aledopress

The timing of food intake has been associated with obesity and adverse metabolic outcomes, independently of the amount or content of food intake and activity level. However, the impact of the variability in the timing of food intake between weekends and weekdays on BMI (body mass index) remains unexplored. To address that, we propose to… Continue reading #Eating Jet Lag: A Marker of the Variability in Meal Timing and Its Association with #Body Mass Index

Abdominal #obesity and the risk of recurrent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease after myocardial #infarction

aledopress

..Univariate and multivariable-adjusted Cox regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals in quintiles of waist circumference as well as three categories of body mass index including normal weight, overweight and obesity. Results The majority of patients had abdominal obesity. During a median follow-up time of 3.8 years, 1232 men (7.3%)… Continue reading Abdominal #obesity and the risk of recurrent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease after myocardial #infarction

#Sucrose intake lowers μ-opioid and dopamine D2/3 receptor availability in porcine brain

aledopress

Excessive sucrose consumption elicits addiction-like craving that may underpin the obesity epidemic. Opioids and dopamine mediate the rewarding effects of drugs of abuse, and of natural rewards from stimuli such as palatable food.. ..After 12 days of sucrose access, BPND of both tracers had declined significantly in striatum, nucleus accumbens, thalamus, amygdala, cingulate cortex and… Continue reading #Sucrose intake lowers μ-opioid and dopamine D2/3 receptor availability in porcine brain

Prevalence and clinical implications of #sarcopenic obesity in patients with solid tumours of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts: a population-based study

aledopress

Emerging evidence on body composition suggests that sarcopenic obesity (obesity with depleted muscle mass) might be predictive of morbidity and mortality in non-malignant disease and also of toxicity to chemotherapy.. ..Available lumbar CT images of the obese patients were analysed for total skeletal muscle cross-sectional area; these values were also used to estimate total body… Continue reading Prevalence and clinical implications of #sarcopenic obesity in patients with solid tumours of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts: a population-based study

Whole #milk compared with reduced-fat milk and childhood #overweight: a systematic review and meta-analysis

aledopress

The majority of children in North America consume cow-milk daily. Children aged >2 y are recommended to consume reduced-fat (0.1–2%) cow-milk to lower the risk of obesity.. ..In 18 studies, higher cow-milk fat consumption was associated with lower child adiposity, and 10 studies did not identify an association. Meta-analysis included 14 of the 28 studies… Continue reading Whole #milk compared with reduced-fat milk and childhood #overweight: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global #obesity epidemic in adults

aledopress

Body-mass index (#BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities1,2. This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity.. ..We show that, contrary to the dominant paradigm,… Continue reading Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global #obesity epidemic in adults
