Aims: To assess the rates and predictors of resolution and relapse of metabolic-dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in individuals undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB).
Methods: This observational prospective cohort study involved 1618 propensity score-matched participants (81.5% female) with concurrent MASLD and obesity who underwent SG or OAGB between 2013 and 2023.

Background: Assessing body fat levels in particular groups is crucial, because excess body fat plays a significant role in various metabolic disorders. The purpose of the present study is to recognize optimal sex-specific reference values of percent body fat (PBF) in a healthy Iranian population using a statistical approach to normality.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, among the 7986 participants who had bioelectrical impedance analyzer (BIA) data, after considering the exclusion criteria, 212 healthy individuals with the age of 20-30 years old (89 men and 123 women), with the lowest PBF values, were selected from Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) based on different obesity phenotypes over 18 years using various statistical methods.
- It included nearly 10,000 participants over 30 years old, categorizing them into six obesity groups based on body mass index (BMI) and metabolic health, with CVD occurrences tracked until 2018.
- Findings revealed that metabolically unhealthy individuals face significantly higher CVD risks as BMI increases, suggesting the need for regular screenings to prevent cardiovascular issues in these groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the rates and factors influencing the remission and relapse of type 2 diabetes in patients who underwent bariatric surgeries, specifically sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB).
- Conducted over 5 years with 891 patients, the research defined remission as achieving specific blood sugar levels without medication, while relapse involved reverting to diabetic levels or requiring diabetes medication again.
- Results indicated similar rates of remission (61.4 per 1000 person-months) and relapse (5.7 per 1000 person-months) for both surgeries, highlighting that longer T2DM duration and insulin use prior to surgery increased the risk of not achieving remission.
Article Synopsis
- Obesity, measured by Cumulative Excess Weight (CEW) and Cumulative Excess Waist Circumference (CEWC), is linked to a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) over a 15-year period.
- The study followed 8,697 participants, revealing that 41.7% developed CKD, with a significant portion having high body mass index and waist circumference, especially among women.
- Findings indicate that CEW significantly affects CKD risk in both men and women, while CEWC's impact is significant only in men.
