Characteristics of childhood onset and post-puberty onset obesity and weight regain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in Japanese subjects: a subgroup analysis of J-SMART
Conclusion: This study suggests that CO might be associated with genetic and psychosocial factors. CO and PPO probably differ in pathogenesis and may require different treatment strategies. (Source: Obesity Facts)

A Genome-wide association study on abdominal adiposity-related traits in adult Korean men
Introduction: Although previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified genetic susceptibility loci for abdominal adiposity, GWASs on Asian samples remain scarce. Therefore, we performed a GWAS for abdominal adipose tissue depots in a Korean population.
Methods: A total of 1,937 Korean men were included in the study. Areas of abdominal fat were quantified by computed tomography. We performed a GWAS analysis under an additive model, and a replication study was conducted on 480 additional Korean adult men.
Results: In the discovery step, we identified a total of 10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ass...

Changes in alcohol consumption, eating behaviors, and body weight during quarantine measures: Analysis of the CoCo-Fakt study
Conclusion: In this short but psychologically stressful period of stay-at-home orders, changes in eating and drinking behavior as well as weight development are evident; mainly in high-risk contacts. To avoid possible long-term sequelae, health authorities should take these findings into account during the quarantine period; in particular, general practitioners should consider these f indings during follow-up.

Supporting Weight Management during COVID-19: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Web-Based, ACT-Based, Guided Self-Help Intervention
Conclusions: SWiM-C improved several psychological determinants of successful weight management and had a protective effect on wellbeing during the pandemic. However, differences in weight and some other outcomes were compatible with no effect of the intervention, suggesting further refinement of the intervention is needed. (Source: Obesity Facts)

Participant characteristics associated with changes in mental health in a trial of behavioural weight management programmes: Secondary analysis of the WRAP trial.
Discussion: Evidence suggests that baseline depression and anxiety may indicate how depression and anxiety symptoms change during and after attending WW. Measurement of depression and anxiety at the start of a behavioural weight management programme an d subsequent monitoring may facilitate timely psychological support if a deterioration in mental health is identified. Further research in large and diverse participant samples is required to clarify the findings. (Source: Obesity Facts)

Evaluation of a bariatric monitoring pass for primary care physicians
Conclusion
These results suggest that GPs are welc oming supportive tools like our BMP to improve the care of long-term follow-up of bariatric patients and should actively participate in the development of lifelong disease management plans necessary to cope with the rapidly growing number of patients.

Gender differences in comorbidities and attitudes regarding weight control among young adults with obesity in Korea
Discussion: Despite their higher prevalences of comorbidities, appropriate weight perception and weight control efforts are insufficient in young men with obesity. These gender differences should be considered to provide tailored programs for weight reduction in young adults with obesity. (Source: Obesity Facts)

Serum transferrin level is associated with the severity of obstructive sleep apnea independently of obesity ：A propensity score-match observational study
Conclusions: The existence of obstructive sleep apnea exacerbates obesity comorbidities, particularly type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Serum transferrin level is associated with the severity of OSA independently of obesity and might be a potential identification and therapeutic targets. (Source: Obesity Facts)

Laparoscopic insertion of a percutaneous gastrostomy prevented malnutrition in a patient with previous Roux-enY gastric bypass
We present our management of one such occurrence. The patient, who had 5 years previously undergone a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), presented after a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage which resulted in spastic tetraplegia. He was unable to consume food and was at risk of malnutrition. A decision was made to laparoscopically create a percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) into the excluded stomach, allowing for the use of standard feeding formula and avoiding the need for parenteral nutrition and prolonged hospitalization due to metabolic complications.
The growing number of patients following bariatric procedures directs the nee...
