Adverse effects of long-term weight gain on microvascular endothelial function
Conclusions Long-term increases in weight, waist circumference and body fat percentage are associated with progressive worsening of microvascular endothelial function, but not conduit vessel endothelial function, in subjects without a history of cardiovascular events, independently of risk factors.

Effects of obesity on metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes following insulin initiation in patients with type 2 diabetes
Conclusion Among patients with T2D insulin initiators, obesity adversely influences HbA1c up to 12 months, but not beyond 24 months and is associated with a decrease in BMI compared to non-obese groups. Morbidly obese patients initiating insulin have 30% increased risk of composite CV events after 5 years.

Childhood predictors of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
Summary Childhood obesity predicts the risk of adult adiposity, which is associated with the earlier onset of cardiovascular disease [adult atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, ACVD: hypertension, increased carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) stroke, ischemic heart disease (IHD)] and dysglycaemia. Because it is not known whether childhood obesity contributes to these diseases, we conducted a systematic review of studies that examine the ability of measures of obesity in childhood to predict dysglycaemia and ACVD. Data sources were Web of Science, MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, SCOPUS, ProQuest and reference lists....

Racial disparity in life expectancies and life years lost associated with multiple obesity-related chronic conditions.
CONCLUSIONS: Racial disparity exists in incident disease and mortality risks, LEs, and LYL associated with multiple OCCs. Efforts targeting subpopulations with large disparities are required to reduce disparities in the burden of multiple OCCs. PMID: 28329429 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Evaluation of the Obesity Genes < b > < i > FTO < /i > < /b > and < b > < i > MC4R < /i > < /b > for Contribution to the Risk of Large Artery Atherosclerotic Stroke in a Chinese Population
Background: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke. The aim of the study was to explore whether obesity genes, such asMC4R and FTO, contribute to LAA stroke risk in the Chinese Han population.Methods: 322 LAA stroke patients and 473 controls were recruited. Gene polymorphism ofMC4R (rs17782313) andFTO (rs8050136 and rs9939609) were genotyped.Results: No differences were observed in genotype frequencies of variants ofFTO (rs8050136 and rs9939609) orMC4R (rs17782313) between LAA stroke patients and control subjects. However, rs17782313 of theMC4R gene was associated with LAA s...

Obesity or obesities? Controversies on the association between body mass index and premature mortality.
Abstract Obesity is still defined on the basis of body mass index (BMI) and BMI in itself is generally accepted as a strong predictor of overall early mortality. However, an inverse association between BMI and mortality has been reported in patients with many disease states and in several clinical settings: hemodialysis, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, surgery, etc. This unexpected phenomenon is usually called obesity-survival paradox (OP). The contiguous concepts of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO, a phenotype having BMI ≥ 30 but not having an...

Are healthcare costs from obesity associated with body mass index, comorbidity or depression? Cohort study using electronic health records
The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and healthcare costs in relation to obesity‐related comorbidity and depression. A population‐based cohort study was undertaken in the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). A stratified random sample was taken of participants registered with general practices in England in 2008 and 2013. Person time was classified by BMI category and morbidity status using first diagnosis of diabetes (T2DM), coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke or malignant neoplasms. Participants were classified annually as depressed or not depressed. Cos...

Obesity and hyperglycemia lead to impaired post-ischemic recovery after permanent ischemia in mice.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that impaired Wnt signaling and active apoptosis result in reduced post-stroke recovery in obese and hyperglycemic mice. PMID: 26694743 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Recreation, transportation or labour saving? Examining the association between household asset ownership and body mass index among Ghanaian women
Conclusion The findings indicate that at least one asset among the various domains of household assets examined is associated with either overweight or obesity among Ghanaian women. Also, increased household asset ownership is associated with increased odds of overweight and obesity. Interventions that aim at reducing sedentary and unhealthy dietary behaviours in the phase of increasing asset ownership maybe helpful in addressing the rising prevalence of obesity among Ghanaian women.

Childhood obesity as a predictor of morbidity in adulthood: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
Summary Obese children are at higher risk of being obese as adults, and adult obesity is associated with an increased risk of morbidity. This systematic review and meta‐analysis investigates the ability of childhood body mass index (BMI) to predict obesity‐related morbidities in adulthood. Thirty‐seven studies were included. High childhood BMI was associated with an increased incidence of adult diabetes (OR 1.70; 95% CI 1.30–2.22), coronary heart disease (CHD) (OR 1.20; 95% CI 1.10–1.31) and a range of cancers, but not stroke or breast cancer. The accuracy of childhood BMI when predicting any adult morbidity was ...

Accuracy of body weight perception and obesity among Chinese Americans
This study was a descriptive and cross-sectional study, which was conducted in a community health center in New York. Study subjects were all Chinese-American adults. Demographic information, accuracy of perception of body weight, anthropometric measures (weight, height, body mass index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], hip circumference [HC], weight to height ratio, weight to hip ratio), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and obesity-related diseases (hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke) were assessed. Results A total of 162 Chinese Americans were recruited. 52 subjects (32%) did n...

Impact of metabolic disorders on the relation between overweight/obesity and incident myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke in fertile women: a nationwide cohort study
ConclusionsThe risk of myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke was more strongly associated with the presence of metabolic disorders than with overweight per se in fertile women. Targeting prevention of metabolic disorders might be beneficial to reduce cardiovascular disease in overweight/obese young women.

A dose‐response meta‐analysis of the impact of body mass index on stroke and all‐cause mortality in stroke patients: a paradox within a paradox
Summary The obesity paradox is often attributed to fat acting as a buffer to protect individuals in fragile metabolic states. If this was the case, one would predict that the reverse epidemiology would be apparent across all causes of mortality including that of the particular disease state. We performed a dose‐response meta‐analysis to assess the impact of body mass index (BMI) on all‐cause and stroke‐specific mortality among stroke patients. Data from relevant studies were identified by systematically searching PubMed, OVID and Scopus databases and were analysed using a random‐effects dose‐response model. Eig...
