Higher risk of sarcopenia in older adults with type 2 diabetes: NHANES 1999-2018
Introduction: Recent studies suggested that sarcopenia may be a significant comorbidity of diabetes mellitus (DM). Nonetheless, studies with nationally representative data are scarce, and the changing trend of sarcopenia prevalence over time is largely unknown. Therefore, we aimed to estimate and compare the prevalence of sarcopenia in diabetic and non-diabetic United States (US) older population, and to explore the potential predictors of sarcopenia as well as the trend of sarcopenia prevalent in the past decades.
Methods: Data was retrieved from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Sarcopenia a...

The effect of a multifaceted intervention including classroom education and bariatric weight suit use on medical students ’ attitudes towards patients with obesity
Conclusion
These findings suggest that in medical students with a low level of weight bias at baseline, a semester course on obesity combined with BWS use affects only a limited number of items of the NEW Attitud es scale questionnaire. The sensitization of medical students to weight stigma has the potential to improve quality of healthcare for patients with obesity. (Source: Obesity Facts)

Association of body fat distribution and risk of breast cancer in pre- and postmenopausal women
Conclusion
Postmenopausal women exhibited more fat in different body segments, which are associated with increased risk for breast cancer, compared to premenopausal women. Fat mass control throughout the body may be beneficial in mitigating the risk for breast cancer and was not limited to abdominal fat alone among postmenopausal women. (Source: Obesity Facts)

Genetic and environmental factors underlying parallel changes in body mass index and alcohol consumption: a 36-year longitudinal study of adult twins
Conclusions: Based on genetic correlations, genetic variation underlying BMI may affect change in alcohol consumption. Independent of genetic effects, change in BMI correlates with change in alcohol consumption in men, su ggesting direct effects between them. (Source: Obesity Facts)

Insulin Resistance, but Not Obstructive Sleep Apnea Is Associated with Hepatic Steatosis in Chinese Patients with Severe Obesity
Introduction Severe obesity often present with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Emerging researches suggest OSA plays an important role in NAFLD development and progression while the relationship between OSA and NAFLD is still conflicting . The interaction of OSA and NAFLD should be further evaluated as obesity surges. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of OSA and NAFLD in patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery, and evaluate the association between OSA and severity of NAFLD.
Methods 141 patients with severe obesity undergoing preoperative polysomno...
