The disease of obesity has continued to increase in the United States. Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m(2). In 1991, the National Institute of Health Consensus Panel on Gastric Surgery for Severe Obesity defined the population who would most likely benefit from bariatric surgery. These same criteria continue to be used today to determine which patients should undergo metabolic and weight loss surgery. These recommendations include patients who have a BMI greater than 35 kg/m(2) with significant comorbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or obstructive sleep apnea; and patients who have a BMI greater than 40 kg/m(2) with or without any significant comorbid conditions because they have a significant increased risk for developing these conditions.

Background: Hainan is a tropical island in China with a large migratory population. Study have reported that the blood pressure of Hainan elderly hypertensive migratory population decreased significantly, which may be related to the improvement of environment and quality of life (QoL). Understanding the changes of QoL of these people before and after coming to Hainan and its influencing factors can provide a basis for the prevention and control of hypertension.

Study Question: Are empirically derived adolescent overweight/obesity phenotypes differentially associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in young adulthood?
Summary Answer: Self-reported PCOS diagnosis risk in young adulthood varied by empirically derived adolescent overweight/obesity phenotypes, with the highest risk observed among those in the 'mothers with obesity' and 'early puberty' phenotypes.
What Is Known Already: Overweight and obesity during puberty are postulated to promote the development of PCOS. Much of the prior literature in this area is cross-sectional and defines weight status based solely on BMI, yet emerging research suggests that not all people with overweight/obesity have the same risk for chronic health conditions, including PCOS.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the obesity epidemic, with both adults and children demonstrating rapid weight gain during the pandemic. However, the impact of having a COVID-19 diagnosis on this trend is not known. Using longitudinal data from January 2019 to June 2023 collected by the US National Institute for Health's National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C), children (age 2-18 years) with positive COVID-19 test results { = 11,474, 53% male, mean [standard deviation (SD)] age 5.
