We characterized the prevalence of obesity among Florida children 2-19years old using electronic health records (EHRs). The obesity prevalence for 331,641 children was 16.9%. Obesity prevalence at 6-11years (19.5%) and 12-19years (18.9%) were approximately double the prevalence of obesity among children 2-5years (9.9%). The highest prevalence of severe obesity occurred in rural Florida (21.7%) and non-Hispanic children with multiple races had the highest obesity prevalence (21.1%) across all racial/ethnic groups. Our results highlight EHR as a low-cost alternative to estimate the prevalence of obesity and severe obesity in Florida children, both overall and within subpopulations.

Correlation between parathyroid adenoma volume and perioperative outcomes in primary hyperparathyroidism: Does the size matter?
Updates Surg
January 2025
University Center of Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases-Clarunis, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) due to a parathyroid adenoma stands as one of the most prevalent endocrinological disorders, with focused parathyroidectomy being the established therapeutic strategy.
Aim: This study aims to investigate whether the volume of the pathological gland influences perioperative outcomes and postoperative morbidity.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 141 patients who underwent focused parathyroidectomy for PHPT at the University Hospital of Basel between 2007 and 2022.

From the Center for Value-Based Care Research, Cleveland Clinic.
Objectives: Understanding the epidemiology of treatment for patients with co-occurring depression and obesity can inform care quality. The objective of the study was to identify how patients with obesity and newly diagnosed depression are treated and whether treatment is associated with body mass index change.
Methods: This cohort study included adults with obesity and newly diagnosed depression who had ≥2 primary care visits between 2015 and 2020 at a large integrated health system.
Associations of modifiable dementia risk factors with dementia and cognitive decline: evidence from three prospective cohorts.

January 2025
College of Physical Education and Health, Guangxi Normal University, Guilin, China.
Objective: This study aims to assess the relationship between modifiable dementia risk factors and both dementia and cognitive decline.
Methods: Data were obtained from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) [2008-2020], the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) [2011-2020], and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) [2010-2020]. After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariable logistic regression was utilized to analyze the relationship between modifiable dementia risk factors and dementia, while multivariable linear regression was employed to examine the relationship between these risk factors and cognitive decline.
How exercise frequency affects BMI: a nationwide cross-sectional study exploring key influencing factors, including dietary behavior.
Front Public Health
January 2025
School of Public Health, Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, China.
Purpose: Body Mass Index (BMI) is an important indicator for assessing obesity and related health risks. With the rapid socio-economic development and changes in lifestyle, abnormal BMI (such as underweight, overweight, and obesity) has become an increasingly serious public health issue. This study aims to explore the impact of exercise frequency on BMI among Chinese adults aged 19 to 59, and to analyze the role of dietary behaviors in regulating BMI, providing a basis for BMI intervention strategies.

Background: Sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity, and hypertension are all widespread public health problems in middle-aged and older populations, and their association is controversial. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between obesity, sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity with hypertension in a middle-aged and older community population in China through a large-scale longitudinal design.
Methods: In this cohort study with 7 years of follow-up, the study population was drawn from participants in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in 2011 and followed up in 2013, 2015, and 2018.
