Article Abstract
Gallbladder (GB) volume was monitored by real-time sonography in diabetics (n = 21) and healthy volunteers (n = 55) after a test meal. Seventeen controls and seven diabetics were obese; six patients had both autonomous and somatic neuropathy, and four had somatic neuropathy. Fasting GB volume was similar in controls and diabetics with and without autonomic neuropathy; it was correlated with body mass index (controls, r = 0.43, P less than 0.002; diabetics, r = 0.46, P less than 0.04), and was increased in obese subjects. Post-prandial GB emptying was decreased in diabetics. Those with autonomous neuropathy exhibited larger residual volumes than controls (P less than 0.03). Post-prandial GB emptying was slower and less complete in (non-diabetic) obese subjects and deteriorated further in diabetic obese subjects. GB fasting tone was normal, but GB kinetics were impaired in diabetics; obesity and autonomous neuropathy were correlated with GB hypomotility.

Pathologic values of body mass index (BMI), body weight, and waist circumference correlate with higher absolute and lower relative trunk strength. Whether waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is appropriate for showing trunk strength differences in people with obesity and whether a continuous linear relationship exists between the increase in obesity and trunk strength is unknown. This retrospective cross-sectional study included 1174 subjects (1114 men and 60 women).

Frailty is an increasingly recognised complication of diabetes in older people and should be taken into consideration in management plans, including the use of the new therapies of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA). The frailty syndrome appears to span across a spectrum, from a sarcopenic obese phenotype at one end, characterised by obesity, insulin resistance, and prevalent cardiovascular risk factors, to an anorexic malnourished phenotype at the other end, characterised by significant weight loss, reduced insulin resistance, and less prevalent cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, the use of the new therapies may not be suitable for every frail older individual with diabetes.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to establish if there is a relationship between body mass index (BMI) and skeletodental development in young obese patients in comparison with normal-weight patients. The sample consisted of 178 individuals (115 normal weight, 37 overweight and 26 obese), aged 6 to 16 years, with a mean biological age of 11.96 ± 2.

: Obesity presents a significant global public health challenge and is associated with declines in both general and food-related inhibitory control, crucial for maintaining a healthy weight and preventing obesity progression. An increasing body of research suggests that acute aerobic exercise may improve inhibitory function. However, the effects and underlying mechanisms of acute aerobic exercise on both general and food-related inhibition in obese adults remain unclear.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among noncommunicable diseases. Over the past decade, there has been a notable increase in the prevalence of CVDs among young individuals. Obesity, a well-known risk factor for CVDs, is also associated with various comorbidities that may contribute to cardiovascular risk.
