The impact of the obesity onset on the inflammatory and glycemic profile of women with severe obesity.

Background: The stage of life at the onset of obesity is an important factor in assessing inflammatory state and cardiometabolic risk.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the obesity onset and the inflammatory profile in women with severe obesity.

Setting: Public hospital, Brazil.

The degree of food processing can influence serum fatty acid and lipid profiles in women with severe obesity.

Background: The increase in the prevalence of obesity is associated with the increase in the consumption of ultra-processed foods and may be related to the increase in the disorders involving metabolism and the transport and storage of fatty acids.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of processed food consumption according to the degree of processing on the serum fatty acid levels and lipid profile of women with severe obesity.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study.
