Obesity, especially central obesity, is a strong risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the mechanism underlying the progression from central obesity to T2D remains unknown. Therefore, we analyzed the gut microbial profiles of central obese individuals with or without T2D from a Chinese population. Here we reported both the microbial compositional and gene functional alterations during the progression from central obesity to T2D. Several opportunistic pathogens were enriched in obese T2D patients. We also characterized thousands of genes involved in sugar and amino acid metabolism whose abundance were significantly depleted in obese T2D group. Moreover, the abundance of those genes was negatively associated with plasma glycemia level and percentage of individuals with impaired plasma glucose status. Therefore, our study indicates that the abundance of those depleted genes can be used as a potential biomarker to identify central obese individuals with high risks of developing T2D.

Ambient air pollution is a serious public health issue worldwide. A growing number of studies has highlighted the negative effects of air pollution on metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components, including abdominal obesity, disorders of lipid metabolism, elevated blood pressure, and impaired fasting blood glucose. This review provides a brief overview of epidemiological and genetic interaction studies of the links between chronic exposure to ambient air pollution and MetS and its components, as well as plausible mechanisms underlying these relationships.

Introduction: Although biases are a natural part of the human experience, left unchecked, they can lead to considerable harm in the context of healthcare. Weight Bias and Stigma (WBS) is a pervasive bias rooted in the negative attitudes and perceptions of individuals in large bodies. WBS can result in poor health outcomes of large-bodied patients due to weight distraction, delaying or avoiding seeking care, and the presumption of non-compliance.

Background: Obesity generally determines the metabolic basis for the development of type 2 diabetes. Therefore the analysis of glycemic variability in obese individuals, especially in its different phenotypes, acquires particular relevance.
Aim: To investigate the features of glycemic variability in men with different adipose tissue distribution topography within usual dietary conditions.

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the associations of food literacy and eating motivation with diet quality and obesity. Participants were 1055 Japanese adults aged 20-69 years. The self-perceived food literacy scale was used to assess food literacy (food preparation skills, resilience and resistance, healthy snack styles, social and conscious eating, examining food labels, daily food planning, healthy budgeting, and healthy food stockpiling).

Background: Inflammatory conditions such as obesity and diabetes are linked to intermediate/non-classical monocyte activation, contributing to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Objective: To investigate whether circulating monocyte subtypes and their activity are associated with the presence LVDD and HFpEF.
Methods: We analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 73 patients with or without LVDD/HFpEF.
