Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) level and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in non-obese adults.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 4098 adults, including 1936 non-obese and 2162 obese individuals. An additional 93 non-obese adults with biopsy-proven NAFLD were also included.
Results: The overall prevalence of NAFLD was 39.51% in the study group, and 14.88% in non-obese adults. The NAFLD patients had significantly higher SUA levels than controls in both men and women. The non-obese group had a higher NAFLD risk with increased SUA levels than the obese group, with odd ratios (95% confidence interval) of 2.559 (1.870-3.503) and 1.692 (1.371-2.087), respectively. In 93 non-obese adults with biopsy-proven NAFLD, SUA levels were significantly higher in those with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. The prevalence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and lobule inflammation tended to increase to 57.58% and 66.67% as the SUA level increased to the fourth quartile. Subjects with hyperuricemia had significantly higher NAFLD activity scores and more serious lobule inflammation than the normal group.
Conclusion: Non-obese adults have higher NAFLD risk with increased SUA levels than obese individuals, and the inflammation progression of NAFLD is associated with increased SUA level in non-obese subjects.

Although exposure to hard water is associated with various inflammatory skin conditions, the specific relationship between hard water and psoriasis has not been clearly defined. We analyzed data from 486,414 participants in the UK Biobank cohort to explore the association between domestic hard water exposure and the incidence of psoriasis. Domestic water hardness, measured in calcium carbonate concentration, was obtained in 2005 from local water providers in Wales, Scotland, and England.

Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are associated with significant alterations in various metabolic biomarkers. Isthmin-1 (Ism1) has recently emerged as a potential marker of metabolic health and was shown in animal studies to associate with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). In this study, we aimed to investigate the circulatory levels of Ism1 in individuals with obesity compared to non-obese individuals and evaluate their association with insulin resistance, MAFLD, and T2D.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a highly successful orthopedic procedure increasingly performed on younger, obese patients due to its ability to improve functional outcomes and quality of life. However, obesity presents challenges related to implant selection and long-term outcomes, particularly with the use of short femoral stems. While short stems offer benefits such as bone preservation and reduced stress shielding, their reliability in obese patients remains underreported.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are associated with obesity health risks, while the association of mixed VOCs with visceral adiposity indicators remains unclear. In this study, a total of 2015 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included. Weighted generalized linear models, restricted cubic spline (RCS), weighted quantile sum (WQS), and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were adopted to assess the association of VOC metabolites (mVOCs) with the visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP).
