The prevalence of obesity is rising at a very alarming rate in the United States. Estimates are that 27% of American adults are now considered obese, and another 52% are overweight. These individuals are at increased risk of premature mortality and the development of many comorbid illnesses. Numerous factors contribute to this epidemic. The medical treatment of obesity is difficult, but can be successful. Drug therapy and obesity surgery can be effective but more research is needed to improve all of the obesity treatments.

Backgrounds And Aims: Preclinical studies suggest that a triglyceride (TG)-independent proinflammatory action of apolipoprotein C-III (apoCIII) exists. We aimed to investigate the relationship between circulating apoCIII levels and subclinical inflammation markers across different cohorts with distinctive inflammatory patterns: patients with metabolic disorders (MDs), patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and controls. Specifically, we assessed the associations of apoCIII with acute inflammation biomarkers (e.

State Key Laboratory of Systems Medicine for Cancer, Center for Single-Cell Omics, School of Public Health, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background: Among hypertensive cohorts across different nations, the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and its conjunction with obesity metrics in relation to cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality remains to be elucidated.
Methods: This study enrolled 9,283, 164,357, and 5,334 hypertensives from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), UK Biobank (UKBB), and Shanghai Pudong cohort. The related outcomes for CVD were defined by multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, Generalized Additive Models and Mendelian randomization analysis.

Background: Alterations in spatiotemporal parameters during walking modify and limit movement capacity in children with obesity. This study aimed to describe and compare the alterations in spatiotemporal parameters in schoolchildren according to body weight during all phases of walking.
Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study of 94 schoolchildren aged 6 to 12 years and divided them into three study groups (normal weight, overweight, and obesity).

Objectives: The relationship between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake and phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) is unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between the energy and timing of SSB intake and PhenoAgeAccel in adults.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2010, which involved U.
