Redox state of adipose tissue for patients with gastric cancer and its connection with the body mass index and distance from the tumor
Publication date: Available online 9 November 2019Source: Obesity Research & Clinical PracticeAuthor(s): A.P. Burlaka, I.I. Ganusevich, A.V. Vovk, A.A. Burlaka, M.R. Gafurov, S.N. LukinAbstractExcess body weight has been causally linked to an increased risk of different cancer types, including gastric cancer but the mechanisms underlying this relationship are not well understood. Superoxide generation rate, activity of complex I in electron transport chain of mitochondria, activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2 and 9) of adipose tissues (AT) of patients with gastric cancer in AT located adjacent to tumor (ATAT) and at...

The importance of relationship processes for lowering BMI over time in women with type 2 diabetes in a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionFor women with T2D in this behavioral intervention study, relationship process scores at the beginning of treatment predicted changes in BMI over time, with better problem solving and higher relationship satisfaction at baseline related to steeper decreases in BMI across treatment. Additional research is needed to understand how improving relationship interaction prior to diabetes treatment may positively influence weight loss during treatment.

A sex-specific evaluation of predicted lean and fat mass composition and cardiovascular disease onset and progression: A combined analysis of the ATTICA and GREECS prospective epidemiological studies
ConclusionThis work expands previous findings regarding body composition and cardiac health, implying that the association of lean and fat mass on long-term CVD incidence varies according to sex and prevention stage. (Source: Obesity Research and Clinical Practice)

The role of adipokines in the improvement of diabetic and cardiovascular risk factors within a 52-week weight-loss programme for obesity
ConclusionIn this study, Optifast52®, a multidisciplinary programme focusing on diet and lifestyle changes, was found not only to affect a decrease in parameters associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but also to ameliorate in part the obesity-related imbalance of pro- and anti-inflammatory adipokines.

Comparison of obesity classification methods among college students
Publication date: Available online 5 October 2019Source: Obesity Research & Clinical PracticeAuthor(s): Oliver W.A. Wilson, Zi Hua Zou, Melissa Bopp, Christopher M. BoppAbstractThe purpose of this study was to compare obesity classification methods (body mass index (BMI)), abdominal girth (AG), and body fat percentage (BF%)), among college students. College students (n = 5943) completed an objective fitness assessment, where height and weight (used to calculate BMI), AG, and BF% (using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) were assessed. Correlation and chi-square tests for independence analyses examined relationship...

Joint association of body mass index and central obesity with cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in prediabetic population: A prospective cohort study
ConclusionAmong men with prediabetes, both BMI and waist circumference should be included when evaluating the risks of major CV events and mortality. Measurement of adiposity constitutes a simple and cost-effective strategy to identify those at high-risk population in prediabetes. (Source: Obesity Research and Clinical Practice)

Nothing alien about it: A comparison of weight bias in preschool-aged children’s ratings of non-human cartoons and human figures
Publication date: Available online 21 September 2019Source: Obesity Research & Clinical PracticeAuthor(s): J.M. Marx, A. Kiefner-Burmeister, L.T. Roberts, D.R. Musher-EizenmanAbstractMedia exposes children to weight biased messaging by presenting overweight characters negatively. Although bias against human figures and human characters has been examined, children’s bias against non-human animated characters is unstudied. Children’s (N = 60; 4–6 years old) weight bias against human and non-human characters was measured. Children saw characters of different weights (thin, overweight), genders (girl, boy), and...

Immunity to influenza: Impact of obesity
Publication date: Available online 19 September 2019Source: Obesity Research & Clinical PracticeAuthor(s): Sandra Angélica Rojas-Osornio, Teresita Rocío Cruz-Hernández, Maria Elisa Drago-Serrano, Rafael Campos-RodríguezAbstractObesity is a health concern that is recognized as a critical factor for vulnerability to influenza A/pdmH1N1 virus infection, with epidemiological and clinical impacts. In humans, obesity induces disturbances in inflammatory and immune responses to the influenza virus and in some cases, this leads to severe complications, with fatal outcomes. Obesity impairs immunity by altering the response of c...

Association between changes in waist circumferences and disability among older adults: WHO-INDEPTH study on global ageing and adult health (SAGE) in Indonesia
ConclusionsAn increase in waist circumference is associated with increased disability among older people in Purworejo, Indonesia. Health promotion programmes aiming to prevent obesity could have positive effects in preventing and reducing disability among older adults. (Source: Obesity Research and Clinical Practice)

Perceived overweight/obesity, low resilience, and body size dissatisfaction among adolescents
ConclusionsLR and perceived overweight/obesity are independently associated with BSD. This finding is important because resilience can be improved, thus highlighting a need for future studies involving resilience building interventions to decrease BSD.

Chronopharmacology of dapagliflozin-induced antihyperglycemic effects in C57BL/6J mice
Publication date: Available online 26 August 2019Source: Obesity Research & Clinical PracticeAuthor(s): Hiroki Yoshioka, Rurika Ohishi, Yui Hirose, Aya Torii-Goto, Sang Jun Park, Nobuhiko Miura, Masae YoshikawaAbstractChronopharmacology is the study of the varying responses of drugs to changes in biological timing and endogenous periodicities. The selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, is a globally prescribed antihyperglycemic drug. Although dapagliflozin is usually administered once a day, the specific intake time is generally not mentioned. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the diu...
