Fifteen Years after Sleeve Gastrectomy: Gastroscopies, Manometries, and 24-h pH-Metries in a Long-Term Follow-Up: A Multicenter Study
Conclusion: Fifteen years after primary SG, objective testing has shown that GERD, esophagitis, and Barrett ’s esophagus are major issues for these patients. Surveillance endoscopies at 5-year intervals in all SG patients and 3-year intervals in patients with Barrett’s esophagus are recommended. (Source: Obesity Facts)

Effect of exposure to paternal smoking on overweight and obesity in children: findings from the Children Lifeway Cohort in Shenzhen, southern China
Introduction: Paternal smoking associated with childhood overweight and obesity has been a concern, but studies have not investigated smoking exposure and smoking details. We investigated the association of exposures from paternal smoking as well as smoking details on offspring overweight/obesity.
Methods: A total of 4513 children (aged 7-8 years) in Shenzhen were enrolled. Four different exposures from paternal smoking as well as smoking quantity, duration of smoking and age of starting smoking details were the exposure variables and demographic characteristics, circumstances of birth, dietary intake, lifestyle and nonpa...

The visceral fat area to hip circumstance ratio (VHR) as a predictor for insulin resistance in a Chinese population with type 2 diabetes
This study aimed to propose a new predictive index - the visceral fat area (VFA) to hip circumstance (HC) ratio (VHR) and explore the efficacy of it for prediction of IR in a Chinese population with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods: A total of 643 patients with newly diagnosed diabetes were enrolled in this study. Body composition, anthropometrical and biochemical measurements were performed. IR was defined as homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)>2.69. The association between VHR and IR was analyzed. Results: Regardless of gender, subjects in IR group had higher VHR, body mass index (BMI), visceral f...

Weight Gain in Children during the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Protective Effect of Lifestyle Intervention in Children with Obesity
Conclusion: In particular, children with overweight and obesity seem to be at risk for accelerated weight gain during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior long-term participation in a lifestyle intervention protects against this weight gain, which emphasizes the importance of strong support for vulnerable populations during health crises and pleads for wide implementation of lifestyle interventions for children.Obes Facts (Source: Obesity Facts)

The Influence of Green Space on Obesity in China: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: The literature on green space exposure in relation to obesity in China remains limited. Longitudinal and quasi-experimental studies are warranted to assess the causal link between green sp ace and obesity. Future measures should better capture the self-perception, quality, and attractiveness of green space. The underlying pathways through which green space affects residents’ weight outcomes should be further elucidated.
