AI Article Synopsis
- Excess weight poses significant health risks, with the study aimed at understanding the prevalence of overweight and obesity and their links to cardiometabolic and renal issues in different population groups.
- Conducted as a cross-sectional analysis with 6,588 participants aged 18 to 102, the study revealed a 36.0% prevalence of overweight and 25.0% for obesity, with higher rates in men and those over 40.
- Results showed that over half of those overweight and nearly two-thirds of those obese faced high cardiovascular risks, with factors like physical inactivity, hypertension, and abnormal cholesterol levels independently correlated with both conditions.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Excess weight is a major health problem. Aims of this study were to determine the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity, and to compare their associations with cardiometabolic and renal risk factors between obese and non-obese populations, and between overweight and non-overweight populations.
Methods: Cross-sectional observational study conducted in Primary Care. Population-based random sample: 6,588 study subjects between 18 and 102 years of age (response rate: 66%). Crude and sex- and age-adjusted prevalence rates of overweight and obesity were calculated, and their associations with cardiometabolic and renal variables were assessed by bivariate and multivariate analysis.
Results: The age- and sex-adjusted prevalence rates of overweight and obesity were 36.0% (42.1% in men; 33.1% in women) and 25.0% (26.2% in men; 24.5% in women), respectively. These prevalences increased with age, and were higher in men than in women. Fifty-two percent (95%CI: 50.0-53.9) of the overweight population and 62.3% (95%CI: 60.1-64.5) of the obese population had a high or very high cardiovascular risk. Abdominal obesity, physical inactivity, prediabetes, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL-C were independently associated with both entities. Furthermore, diabetes was independently associated with overweight and hypercholesterolemia with obesity.
Conclusions: The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 61.0% (68.4% in men and 59.0% in women). More than half of the overweight population and nearly two-thirds of the obese population had a high cardiovascular risk. Hyperglycemia, physical inactivity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia were independently associated with overweight and obesity.

Background: The body weight following bariatric surgery is a primary concern for both healthcare professionals and surgical candidates. However, it remains unclear whether variations in preoperative fat distribution influence weight loss outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of abdominal fat distribution on postoperative weight loss and body mass index (BMI) reduction, and to clarify the role of different fat depots in weight loss outcomes.
Background: Physical activity (PA) is recommended as a component of weight management for the prevention of weight gain and weight regain after weight loss. Yet, no study has adapted culturally appropriate PA for postmenopausal women's health.
Aims: The study aimed to investigate the effect of a developed culturally appropriate exercise program for Ghanaian postmenopausal women with excess weight gain on the anthropometrics and body composition.

Department of Anesthesiology, Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang Medical College, Nanchang, Jiangxi, 330006, People's Republic of China.
Background: Ciprofol, a novel intravenous anesthetic derived from propofol, exhibits high lipophilicity. Its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics may vary across different body mass indices (BMI) categories, but data on its optimal dosing as well as its safety and efficacy during colonoscopy anesthesia in varying BMI groups are lacking.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ciprofol during anesthesia for painless colonoscopy in patients with varying BMI, and to explore the correlation between BMI and induction dose.
