European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) Position Statement on Medical Nutrition Therapy for the Management of Individuals with Overweight or Obesity and Cancer.

Obesity, a prevalent and multifactorial disease, is linked to a range of metabolic abnormalities, including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and chronic inflammation. These imbalances not only contribute to cardiometabolic diseases but also play a significant role in cancer pathogenesis. The rising prevalence of obesity underscores the need to investigate dietary strategies for effective weight management for individuals with overweight or obesity and cancer.

Patients' Perspectives on Dietary Patterns and Eating Behaviors During Weight Regain After Gastric Bypass Surgery.

Purpose: Food quality, energy intake, and various eating-related problems have been highlighted as some of the components influencing weight after bariatric surgery. This study aimed to increase our knowledge of patients' perspectives on dietary patterns and eating behaviors during weight regain after bariatric surgery.

Materials And Methods: We recruited 4 men and 12 women with obesity and the experience of weight regain after bariatric surgery at an obesity clinic in Stockholm, Sweden.

Prospective study of weight loss and all-cause-, cardiovascular-, and cancer mortality.

Effects of repeated weight changes on mortality are not well established. In this prospective cohort study, we followed 34,346 individuals from 1997 to 2018 for all-cause mortality, and 2016 for cause-specific mortality. At baseline, participants self-reported amount and frequency of prior weight loss.

Weight Loss History and Its Association with Self-Esteem and Eating Behaviors in Adolescents and Young Adults with Obesity.

Introduction: Previous weight loss attempts in young people with obesity may have influenced their beliefs about themselves and contributed to maladaptive eating behaviors. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between previous weight loss with self-esteem and different eating behaviors in adolescents and young adults with obesity seeking specialty obesity care.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study, where a total of 224 participants with obesity, aged 16-25, self-reported the amount and the frequency of previous weight loss of 5 kg or more.

Patients' Experiences of Weight Regain After Bariatric Surgery.

Purpose: Bariatric surgery is a successful obesity treatment; however, an estimated 1/5 of patients have regained more than 15% of their body weight 5 years post-surgery. To increase the understanding of patients who experienced weight regain after bariatric surgery, we conducted a qualitative study.

Materials And Methods: We recruited 16 adult participants (4 men, 12 women) at an obesity clinic in Stockholm, Sweden, 2018 to 2019, and performed semi-structured individual interviews.

Perceived and Preferred Social Support in Patients Experiencing Weight Regain After Bariatric Surgery-a Qualitative Study.

Purpose: While bariatric surgery generally shows successful weight loss outcomes in patients with obesity, weight regain exists. The aim of this qualitative study was to improve understanding of how patients with substantial weight regain after bariatric surgery experienced the support from family, friends, and healthcare providers, and what kind of support they had preferred.

Materials And Methods: Qualitative data were collected from semi-structured interviews with 16 participants.
