Objectives: To determine the distribution of EOSS stages and differences in weight loss achieved according to EOSS stage, in patients attending a referral-based publically funded multisite weight management clinic.
Subjects/methods: 5,787 obese patients were categorized using EOSS staging using metabolic risk factors, medication use, and severity of doctor diagnosis of obesity-related physiological, functional, and psychological comorbidities from electronic patient files.
Results: The prevalence of EOSS stages 0 (no risk factors or comorbidities), 1 (mild conditions), 2 (moderate conditions), and 3 (severe conditions) was 1.7%, 10.4%, 84.0%, and 3.9%, respectively. Prehypertension (63%), hypertension (76%), and knee replacement (33%) were the most common obesity-related comorbidities for stages 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In the models including age, sex, initial BMI, EOSS stage, and treatment time, lower EOSS stage and longer treatment times were independently associated with greater absolute (kg) and percentage of weight loss relative to initial body weight (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Patients attending this publicly funded, referral-based weight management clinic were more likely to be classified in the higher stages of EOSS. Patients in higher EOSS stages required longer treatment times to achieve similar weight outcomes as those in lower EOSS stages.

Background: There is large variation in the individual risk of developing obesity-associated comorbidities. While obesity is highly prevalent in Mexico, data on the extent and heterogeneity of its associated co-morbidities is lacking. Hereby, we estimated the prevalence of different obesity-associated comorbidities, and how they have changed over 15 years.

Objective: To assess the complementary role of the Body Mass Index (BMI) and Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) in predicting all-cause and cause-specific mortality in people living with overweight and obesity (PLwOW/O).
Methods: A longitudinal analysis of prospectively collected data from the 1999-2018 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was conducted. The association between BMI, EOSS, and mortality was evaluated through Cox regression models, adjusted for confounders.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the insecticidal and repellent properties of essential oils from four plants, targeting the flea Ctenocephalides felis, which affects pets and humans globally.
- - Using Gas Chromatography, researchers analyzed the chemical composition of the oils and tested their efficacy against different flea life stages, calculating lethal concentrations for each.
- - Results indicated that certain oils, particularly from Copaifera reticulata, showed significant insecticidal activity and residual effectiveness, making them potential alternatives to chemical pesticides.

Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated a correlation between a high body mass index and discriminatory COVID-19 outcomes. Studies appear to indicate that there is a correlation between obesity-related comorbidities and less favorable outcomes.
Objectives: The primary aim of the current investigation is to conduct a thorough assessment of the correlation between BMI and comorbidities associated with obesity, and their potential impact on the severity and consequences of COVID-19 infection among patients receiving care in a tertiary healthcare setting.
