Interactions between Prepregnancy Overweight and Passive Smoking for Macrosomia and Large for Gestational Age in Chinese Pregnant Women

Serum 25OHD < sub > 3 < /sub > of Obese Mice Is Affected by Liver Injury and Correlates with Testosterone Levels and Sperm Motility
Conclusion: Our research shows that there is a metabolic interference mediated by 25OHD3 and testosterone between obesity and low sperm motility. The results of this study can provide a scientific basis for studying the mechanism of 25OHD3 and hormone regulation and treating obese people with low sperm motility.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Relation of Maximum Lifetime Body Mass Index with Age at Hemodialysis Initiation and Vascular Complications in Japan
Conclusion: A high max BMI contributed to early hemodialysis initiation independent of diabetes. Furthermore, PDR was associated with a high max BMI and early hemodialysis initiation. These results suggest that weight reduction in young chronic kidney disease patients with obesity may prevent hemodialysis and blindness.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Experience of Excess Skin and Attitude to Body Contouring Surgery of a Chinese Post-Bariatric Population
Conclusions: Most Chinese post-bariatric patients have excess skin and are bothered by impaired HRQoL. The abdomen and upper arms are the sites where patients are most seriously affected and most eager for BCS. The conservative attitude toward BCS and the cost without reimbursement are the main barriers.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

The Role of Obesity in Predicting the Clinical Outcomes of COVID-19
Conclusion: COVID-19 patients with overweight and obesity presented with more severe clinical findings. Health-care providers should take into account that people living with overweight and obesity are at higher risk for COVID-19 and its complications.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Metabolic Response to Submaximal and Maximal Exercise in People with Severe Obesity, Prediabetes, and Diabetes
Conclusions: PwO demonstrate restricted metabolic response during maximal exercise. Particularly, those with prediabetes already show metabolic inflexibility during exercise, similarly to those with type 2 diabetes. These findings also suggest a potential role of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in detecting early metabolic alterations in PwO.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Bariatric Surgery Outcomes in Patients with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of the Adult
This study shows that patients with LADA depict remarkable reduction of body weight and insulin requirements over long-term after bariatric surgery. So, LADA should not be considered a contraindication for bariatric surgery yet should only be recommended for patients with concomitant obesity with the primary aim of achieving sustained weight loss.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Lifestyle Intervention for Overweight/Obese Pregnant Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Lessons and Challenges
Conclusions: Our study showed that lifestyle intervention of diet and exercise did not affect GWG, glucolipid metabolism, and perinatal outcomes of overweight/obese pregnant women with PCOS. However, women with good compliance can benefit from the lifestyle intervention for GWG. We believe that future studies should focus on trial design and increasing compliance to improve the quality of the study.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Bariatric Surgery-Associated Myelopathy
Bariatric surgery is gaining acceptance as an efficient treatment modality for adults and adolescents with morbid obesity. The early postbariatric period has the potential to induce an immunomodulatory imbalance due to the development or worsening of nutritional deficiencies, changes in hormonal balance (specifically after sleeve gastrectomy), and a shift in the proinflammatory cytokine profile along with a major change in the gut microbiome and permeability. These changes may induce encephalomyelitic T cell activity, change neural barrier permeability, and induce gut dysbioisis, favoring a proinflammatory metabolic profil...

Carbohydrates to Prevent and Treat Obesity in a Murine Model of Diet-Induced Obesity
Discussion: A diet high in sucrose or starch induces less obesity and obesity-associated complications. Moreover, switching obese mice to a sucrose-rich diet elicits weight loss and decreases obesity-induced metabolic complications, highlighting the potential of carbohydrates to treat obesity.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Relevance of Physical Activities, Sedentary Behaviors, and Genetic Predisposition in Body Fatness: Population-Based Study on Chinese Adults
Conclusion: MVPA may be a protective factor against obesity, and prolonged television watching may accentuate adiposity. These putative effects may be more pronounced among individuals with a high genetic risk of a high BMI.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)
