Interdisciplinary Therapy Improves the Mediators of Inflammation and Cardiovascular Risk in Adolescents with Obesity.

Obesity is associated with inflammation and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and premature mortality, as well as a range of other conditions. Obesity is a growing global problem, not only in adults, but also in children and adolescents. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the effects of a one-year interdisciplinary intervention on the cardiometabolic and inflammatory profiles of adolescents with obesity.

Impact of dietary patterns according to NOVA food groups: 2 y after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

Introduction: Appropriate eating habits are crucial for sustained weight loss after bariatric surgery. A qualitative analysis of food consumption in the late postoperative period of bariatric surgery is thus advisable, even more so considering the increasing consumption of obesity-impacting ultra-processed foods.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the contribution of unprocessed, processed, and ultra-processed foods 2 y after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

Impact of Weight Loss on Inflammation State and Endothelial Markers Among Individuals with Extreme Obesity After Gastric Bypass Surgery: a 2-Year Follow-up Study.

Background: The medium-term impact of gastric bypass (GB) surgery on the inflammatory state and endothelial function of patients has yet to be confirmed.

Objective: This study aims to elucidate the inflammatory profile and endothelial dysfunction response of adults with obesity 6 and 24 months after undergoing GB surgery.

Methods: The anthropometric and biochemical markers of 32 adults with obesity (two men and 30 females) were collected preoperatively, and 6 and 24 months postoperatively.
