Large-Scale Evaluation and Liver Disease Risk Prediction in Finland’s National Electronic Health Record System: Feasibility Study Using Real-World Data

Large-Scale Evaluation and Liver Disease Risk Prediction in Finland’s National Electronic Health Record System: Feasibility Study Using Real-World Data

The burden of liver disease increases yearly in Finland because the Finnish population age average grows, and obesity and overweight are more common problems in the Finnish population [1]. On average, there are 1000 deaths caused by alcoholic liver disease every year [2]. For the early detection of individuals from the general population at high risk for future severe liver disease, the CLiv D (Chronic Liver Disease score) score was developed.

Interactive Effects of Weight Recording Frequency and the Volume of Chat Communication With Health Care Professionals on Weight Loss in mHealth Interventions for Noncommunicable Diseases: Retrospective Observational Study

It was found that 43% of individuals aged 18 years and older were overweight and 16% were living with obesity in 2022 over the world [1,2]. Several guidelines for primary and secondary prevention of NCDs recommend weight loss for managing risk factors derived from insulin resistance [3-6].

Healthy Mom Zone Adaptive Intervention With a Novel Control System and Digital Platform to Manage Gestational Weight Gain in Pregnant Women With Overweight or Obesity: Study Design and Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Healthy Mom Zone Adaptive Intervention With a Novel Control System and Digital Platform to Manage Gestational Weight Gain in Pregnant Women With Overweight or Obesity: Study Design and Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Guidelines from the Institutes of Medicine (IOM) [1] and National Academy of Medicine [2] recommend that the optimal total GWG should be based on a woman’s prepregnancy BMI category (ie, overweight: 6.8-11.3 kg; obese: 5.0-9.1 kg). However, evidence from a meta-analytic review including over 1 million pregnant women found that nearly 50% of women exceeded their recommended goals [9], and this was prevalent among those with normal weight as well as those with overweight or obesity.

High-Intensity Interval Training for Individuals With Isolated Impaired Fasting Glucose: Protocol for a Proof-of-Concept Randomized Controlled Trial

High-Intensity Interval Training for Individuals With Isolated Impaired Fasting Glucose: Protocol for a Proof-of-Concept Randomized Controlled Trial

This is a “proof-of-concept” 1:1 parallel-group RCT involving 34 physically inactive individuals aged 35-65 years who are overweight or obese and have i-IFG. Figure 2 presents the study’s CONSORT diagram. The Georgia Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at Emory University Hospital will serve as the site for participant recruitment and conducting study procedures. A highly trained and experienced study coordinator will recruit participants through a comprehensive 3-step screening procedure.

Body Fat and Obesity Rates, Cardiovascular Fitness, and the Feasibility of a Low-Intensity Non–Weight-Centric Educational Intervention Among Late Adolescents: Quasi-Experimental Study

Body Fat and Obesity Rates, Cardiovascular Fitness, and the Feasibility of a Low-Intensity Non–Weight-Centric Educational Intervention Among Late Adolescents: Quasi-Experimental Study

Global estimates suggest that the overall prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity could reach 30% by 2030, with boys (34.2%) surpassing girls (27.4%) [2]. This trend is particularly alarming in middle- and high-income countries, where childhood overweight and obesity rates are projected to reach 58.3% by 2030 [2]. In Saudi Arabia, the obesity epidemic has mirrored global trends, with a marked increase in prevalence among both adults and adolescents.

Use of Extrinsic Motivators to Improve the BMI of Obese or Overweight Adolescents: Systematic Review

The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing at an alarming rate in children and adolescents worldwide, and the rise has occurred similarly among both boys and girls [1,2]. Over 340 million children and adolescents aged 5-19 years were overweight or obese in 2016 [2].

Weight and Lifestyle Behavior Changes in Chinese Health Care Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic: 3-Year Retrospective Survey

Weight and Lifestyle Behavior Changes in Chinese Health Care Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic: 3-Year Retrospective Survey

Basically, overweight and obesity result from consuming more calories than expended [27]; hence, any factor that can increase food calorie intake and reduce exercise expenditure may lead to overweight and obesity. Studies indicated that occupational factors such as working hours, work intensity, work stress, and shifts are associated with overweight or obesity in HCWs [28-31].

In addition, more recent studies have used high-intensity interval training (HIIT) 3 times a week within the school setting, achieving beneficial effects on adolescent girls who are overweight [40]. In this regard, these school-based interventions have shown benefits in body weight, waist-hip ratio, fat percentage, and aerobic capacity in adolescents who are overweight [42,43].

Association of Cellulitis With Obesity: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Association of Cellulitis With Obesity: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

In total, 4 case-control studies provided data on the association between cellulitis and being overweight. Out of these 4, Björnsdóttir et al [4] was the only study that showed no association between cellulitis and being overweight while the other 3 suggested that patients with cellulitis had an increased odds of being overweight. This meta-analysis illustrates that there is no significant association between cellulitis and being overweight (pooled OR 1.69, 95% CI 0.99-2.88; Figure 5).
