Effects of Dietary Self-Monitoring, Physical Activity, Liraglutide 3.0 mg, and Placebo on Weight Loss in the SCALE IBT Trial
Conclusions: High adherence to dietary self-monitoring and use of liraglutide 3.0 mg was associated with clinically relevant weight loss with IBT and adjunctive pharmacotherapy. The effect of adherence to physical activity was significant but smaller.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Eccentric Cycling Training Improves Health-Related Quality of Life in Adolescents with Obesity
Conclusion: Both CON and ECC cycling trainings promoted significant improvements in BMI, VO2peak, total fat mass, and fat-free mass, with better improvements in body composition parameters in the ECC group (p #x3c; 0.05). The VSP-A total score increased after CON (p #x3c; 0.01) and ECC (p #x3c; 0.001) training, with better enhancement for the ECC group (p #x3c; 0.05). The SF-36 physical score increased after both CON (p #x3c; 0.01) and ECC (p #x3c; 0.001) trainings. The global HP score increased only after ECC training (p #x3c; 0.001). Except for the energy-vitality item, no significant correlation was found between change...

Postural Stability in Obese Preoperative Bariatric Patients Using Static and Dynamic Evaluation
Conclusion: Importantly, these data highlight obesity ’s contribution towards increased postural instability. Obese subjects exhibited greater COP displacement at higher AP velocities versus nonobese subjects, suggesting that clinically obese individuals show greater instability than nonobese subjects. Identifying factors contributory to instability could encourage patient-specific physical therapies and presurgical measures to mitigate instability and monitor postsurgical balance improvements.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Increased Insulin Sensitivity by High-Altitude Hypoxia in Mice with High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity Is Associated with Activated AMPK Signaling and Subsequently Enhanced Mitochondrial Biogenesis in Skeletal Muscles
Conclusion: Our study suggests that high-altitude hypoxia improves insulin sensitivity in mice fed an HFD, which is associated with AMPK activation in the skeletal muscle and consequently enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and fatty acid oxidation. This work provides a molecular explanation for why high altitude is associated with a reduced incidence of insulin resistance in the obese population.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Cost-Effectiveness of an Obesity Management Program for 6- to 15-Year-Old Children in Poland: Data from Over Three Thousand Participants
Conclusions: The 6-10-14 for Health program can be considered cost-effective. As a result of committing financial resources in the approximate amount of EUR 1,790 per child, around half of the children participating in the program have improved their weight indicators.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Reappraisal of Gestational Weight Gain Recommendations in Obese Pregnant Women: A Population-Based Study of 337,590 Births
Conclusion: The prevalence of maternal obesity has risen in Belgium between 2009 and 2014. Current GWG guidelines, based on historic observational data, are probably too liberal for class II and III obese women in which better outcomes are being predicted for lower weight gain than recommended.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

Greater Attendance at a Community Weight Loss Programme over the First 12 Weeks Predicts Weight Loss at 2 Years
Conclusions: Greater attendance at a community weight loss programme in the first 12 weeks is associated with enhanced weight loss up to 24 months. Regular attendance at a programme could be used as a criterion for continued provision of weight loss services to maximise the cost-effectiveness of interventions.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)
