: Whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) involves exposure to extremely low temperatures to reduce inflammation and pain and to enhance recovery. Despite its growing popularity and the importance of the magnitude of WBC-induced skin cooling in triggering the cascade of effects, limited research has focused on skin temperature changes in individuals with severe obesity, where body composition and sex may influence outcomes. : To examine differences in the cooling response based on sex and BMI, we conducted an observational study comparing patients with obesity to normal-weight individuals after repeated WBC sessions.

- Obesity is closely tied to metabolic issues that lead to serious health risks, prompting a call for unified efforts from medical professionals and policymakers to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent obesity rather than treating it separately.
- A thorough search of published articles focused solely on obesity prevention was conducted, gathering data from various reputable sources such as academic databases and health agency websites.
- A comprehensive approach to obesity prevention is essential, necessitating collaboration among individuals, communities, and healthcare systems to create a supportive environment for healthier choices while addressing the need for clear national and international guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 2004 hospitalized patients with obesity evaluated a 4-week multidisciplinary weight-loss intervention, revealing that 42.55% of initial SO patients improved their handgrip strength (HGS) and no longer met SO criteria at discharge.
- * The findings highlight that increases in HGS and phase angle (PhA) are important indicators of successful weight-loss interventions in SO patients, suggesting that focused strategies on these measures can help improve outcomes for this population.
: Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is the combination of excess fat, skeletal muscle and muscular strength/function deficit. The ESPEN/EASO have proposed new diagnostic criteria, but the SO prevalence in patients with severe obesity remains to be established. The aim of this study was to establish the SO prevalence in a large cohort of inpatients with obesity, considering sex, age, BMI, type, and number of concomitant diseases.
