Obesity and cardiovascular disease risk among Africans residing in Europe and Africa: the RODAM study
ConclusionsAnthropometric variables were stronger discriminators of high CVD risk in African men than women. Greater WC was associated with high CVD risk in men while WHR and WC were associated with high CVD risk in women. (Source: Obesity Research and Clinical Practice)

Epidemiological evidence of increased waist circumference, but not body mass index, associated with impaired baroreflex sensitivity
In conclusion, increased and even high-normal WC had a stronger adverse effect on BRS than BMI, independent of cardio-metabolic risk factors. (Source: Obesity Research and Clinical Practice)

Elevated 1-h post-load plasma glucose levels in normal glucose tolerance children with obesity is associated with early carotid atherosclerosis
ConclusionsThese data suggest that a value of 1-h PG ≥155 mg/dL in children and adolescents with obesity is as important as IGT with respect to cardiovascular risks. (Source: Obesity Research and Clinical Practice)

Risk of complications in patients who are obese following upper limb arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionSurgeons should consider advising patients who are obese of the greater risk of VTE and infection when considering elective upper limb arthroplasty. However, noteworthy limitations surrounded the lack of information regarding prophylaxis regimes and BMI measurement tools used in included studies. (Source: Obesity Research and Clinical Practice)

Obesity is associated with a reduced odds for blunt intra-abdominal injuries in children
ConclusionsObesity appears to reduce the odds for pediatric IAIs and CT scans, but not for US examinations. Selection bias is possible due to injury severity and missing or excluded weight data. Further research is needed in other pediatric populations with obesity and blunt injuries. (Source: Obesity Research and Clinical Practice)

A cross-sectional examination of sociodemographic factors associated with meeting physical activity recommendations in overweight and obese US adults
ConclusionsFuture physical activity interventions should be aimed at increasing the number of overweight and obese US adults who meet physical activity guidelines as well as targeted towards specific sociodemographic groups within the overweight/obese population with low exercise levels.

Sleeve gastrectomy vs gastric bypass in improvement of depressive symptoms following one year from bariatric surgery, Tehran Obesity Treatment Study (TOTS)
ConclusionBariatric surgery had a beneficial effect on weight reduction and BDI score regardless of its type. Further studies with longer follow-up and more samples are needed to clarify the differences between bariatric procedures. (Source: Obesity Research and Clinical Practice)

Skipping breakfast is associated with overweight and obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsThis meta-analysis confirmed that skipping breakfast is associated with overweight/obesity, and skipping breakfast increases the risk of overweight/obesity. The results of cohort studies and cross-sectional studies are consistent. There is no significant difference in these results among different ages, gender, regions, and economic conditions.

Epicardial and subcutaneous adipose tissue in Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals: Implications for cardiometabolic diseases
ConclusionsIndigenous individuals have significantly greater epicardial fat, but similar subcutaneous fat volumes, compared to non-Indigenous individuals. This finding extends previous observations on body fat composition differences in these individuals, and supports the possibility that epicardial fat and other visceral adipose depots may be contributing to the greater burden of cardiovascular disease in Indigenous populations.
