Obesity is a risk factor for the development of anterior abdominal wall hernias. Incisional hernias develop in up to 13% of laparotomies: the most difficult to repair are complex and multiple recurrent hernias with significant loss of control. The best approach to treating obese patients who concomitantly have hernias of the anterior abdominal wall is still a matter of debate.

- Obesity is linked to a higher risk of hypertension, which leads to public health concerns, especially in class 3 obesity cases.
- A study was conducted on women with class 3 obesity to analyze RNA expression of adiponectin and leptin in their adipose tissue, comparing those with and without hypertension.
- Results showed that women with higher blood pressure had significantly increased adiponectin mRNA levels in subcutaneous adipose tissue, highlighting a potential relationship between adipokines and hypertension treatment.
Background: Common variants rs6232 and rs6235 in the PCSK1 gene have been associated with obesity in European populations. We aimed to evaluate the contribution of these variants to obesity and related traits in Mexican children and adults.
Methodology/principal Findings: Rs6232 and rs6235 were genotyped in 2382 individuals, 1206 children and 1176 adults.
