Objective: To study the association of genes involved in the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) pathway with body mass index (BMI) and obesity risk.
Design: This work studies three cross-sectional populations from Spain, representing three provinces: HORTEGA (Valladolid, Northwest/Centre), SEGOVIA (Segovia, Northwest/centre) and PIZARRA (Malaga,South).
Setting: Forty-eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from MRC genes were selected and genotyped by SNPlex method. Association studies with BMI and obesity risk were performed for each population. These associations were then verified by analysis of the studied population as a whole (3731 samples).
Participants: A total of 3731 Caucasian individuals: 1502 samples from HORTEGA, 988 from PIZARRA and 1241 from SEGOVIA.
Results: rs4600063 (), rs11205591 () and rs10891319 () SNPs were associated with BMI and obesity risk (p values for BMI were 0.04, 0.0011 and 0.0004, respectively, and for obesity risk, 0.0072, 0.039 and 0.0038). However, associations between rs4600063 and BMI and between these three SNPs and obesity risk are not significant if Bonferroni correction is considered. In addition, rs11205591 and rs10891319 polymorphisms showed an additive interaction with BMI and obesity risk.
Conclusions: Several polymorphisms from genes coding MRC proteins may be involved in BMI variability and could be related to the risk to become obese in the Spanish general population.

No study has examined the association between dietary insulin load (DIL) and insulin index (DII) with developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during pregnancy. This study aimed to investigate the association between DIL and DII and risk of GDM in a group of pregnant women in Iran. In this prospective cohort study, 812 pregnant in their first trimester were recruited and followed.

Background: The association between different anthropometric indices, including body mass index (BMI), a body shape index (ABSI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), waist circumference-triglyceride index (WTI), weight-adjusted waist index (WWI), body roundness index (BRI) and the prevalence of overactive bladder (OAB) is unclear. This investigation aims to explore the association among different anthropometric indices and overactive bladder as well as confounding variables.
Methods: Data were obtained from the USA National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data set between 2005 and 2018, and 15231 participants were included in the study.

Introduction: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a common procedure associated with satisfactory outcomes. Revisional surgery due to weight regain or insufficient weight loss (WR/IWL) after OAGB is underreported.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of a single-bariatric surgeon database was conducted.

Background The prevalence of obesity has increased over the years, resulting in multiple physical and psychological health issues that impact the quality of human life. Numerous Western studies have linked obesity and depression, but few studies have investigated this correlation among the Saudi population. Hence, this study assesses the correlation between obesity and depression among the general population of Saudi Arabia.

Background And Aim: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a disease that clinically presents with retro-patellar and peripatellar pain that affects primarily physically active individuals. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of PFPS in Saudi Arabia and the variables that contribute to its occurrence.
Objectives: This multicenter, cross-sectional study aimed to explore the prevalence of patellofemoral pain in Saudi Arabia.
