Background And Aims: It is still debatable whether metabolic status in normal weight population increases the risk of mortality (all-cause mortality (ACM), cardiovascular mortality (CVM)) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) as compared to the obese population. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to evaluate the association of the metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUH-NW) phenotype with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and MACE in comparison to metabolically healthy obesity (MH-O), along with the association of metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUH-O) phenotype regarding the same outcomes compared to MUH-NW.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using online databases from inception to June 20, 2022, to comprehensively search all prospective cohort studies comprising three variables including adults aged ≥18 years, obesity and four metabolic phenotypes, and interest outcomes (ACM, CVM, and MACE).

Results: Forty-one prospective cohort studies with a total of 4,028,750 participants was included in this study. Compared to MH-O, MUH-NW had a substantially higher risk of ACM (RR = 1.47 (95%CI = 1.32-1.64); P < 0.001; I = 89.8%,P-heterogeneity<0.001), CVM (RR = 2.37 (95%CI = 1.97-2.86); P < 0.001; I = 83.7%,P-heterogeneity<0.001), and MACE (RR = 1.73 (95%CI = 1.49-2.00); P < 0.001; I = 74.3%,P-heterogeneity<0.001). Moreover, MUH-O did not have a significantly elevated risk of ACM (RR = 0.97 (95%CI = 0.82-1.15); P = 0.736; I = 98.3%,P-heterogeneity<0.001), CVM (RR = 0.96 (95%CI = 0.88-1.05); P = 0.394; I = 77.0%,P-heterogeneity<0.001), and MACE (RR = 0.95 (95%CI = 0.80-1.13); P = 0.570; I = 92.2%,P-heterogeneity<0.001) compared to MUH-NW.

Conclusion: In conclusion, MUH-NW was superior but not inferior to MH-O and MUH-O in terms of increased risk of interest outcomes, refuting the notion that normal weight population is a benign condition. Hence, in normal weight population, metabolic screening is highly suggested to measure the baseline of obesity and metabolic phenotypes, thus preventing the risk of CVD and mortality in the future.

Background: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to be about 13.4% worldwide. Studies have shown that CKD accounts for up to 2% of the health cost burden.

Background & Aims: Plant-based diets benefit human health, while the deficient in some nutrients limits its application. We aimed to examine whether balanced diets could be better in reducing diabetes risk than plant-based diets.

Methods: In cross-sectional analysis of Environment-Inflammation-Metabolic-Diseases Study (EIMDS), we used a questionnaire to investigate the habit of balanced and plant-based diets.

People with severe mental disorders experience premature mortality compared with the general population. Several factors contribute to the mortality gap, including the adoption of unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, poor screening for physical illnesses, difficulties in accessing healthcare facilities, specific clinical features of mental disorders and some pharmacological treatment such as antipsychotic medications with serious metabolic side effects. In the present study, carried out in the framework of the LIFESTYLE trial, a funded nationwide multicentric study, we aimed to assess the impact of different antipsychotics in mediating the effectiveness of psychosocial intervention on healthy lifestyle behaviours.

Background: Unhealthy sleep and exposures to oxidative factors are both associated with poor cognitive performance (PCP), but limited evidence has been found regarding the relationship between sleep patterns and oxidative factor exposures independently or jointly with the risk of PCP.

Methods: We analyzed data from 2249 adults aged ≥60 years in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2011-2014). Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect data on sleep duration and sleep disorder, categorizing sleep duration into three groups based on responses: short (6 hours or less per night), normal (7-8 hours per night), or long (9 hours or more per night).

: Childhood obesity is a global health problem that affects at least 41 million children under the age of five. Increased BMI in children is associated with serious long-term health consequences, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and psychological problems, including depression and low self-esteem. Although the etiology of obesity is complex, research suggests that the diet and lifestyle of pregnant women play a key role in shaping metabolic and epigenetic changes that can increase the risk of obesity in their children.
