Background: Factors of metabolic syndrome such as obesity are well-known risk factors for gallstone disease (GSD). There are different indicators of obesity, including weight, body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio. The predictive ability of different obesity indicators for GSD remains unclear.
Objective: To explore the most efficient predictor of GSD among the different anthropometric indicators of obesity.
Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study included 2263 participants who completed a questionnaire detailing their demographics, medical history, and lifestyle between 2014 and 2017 in Taiwan. Blood samples were collected and physical examinations, including anthropometric measurements, were performed. Gallstone disease was ascertained using ultrasonography. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for GSD.
Results: The overall prevalence of GSD was 8.8%. According to the multivariate analysis, individuals with a waist-to-height ratio ≥0.5 (odds ratio|odds ratios (OR) = 1.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.10-2.48, = 0.017) had an increased risk of GSD. Diabetes was the main risk factor for GSD in men (OR = 2.06, 95% CI = 1.17-3.65, = 0.013). Among women, waist-to-height ratio >0.5 (OR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.03-3.02, = 0.040) and current hormone drug use (OR = 2.73, 95% CI = 1.09-6.84, = 0.033) were significant risk factors for gallstones.
Conclusion: GSD was independently associated with central obesity and exogenous hormone intake in women. Among the anthropometric indicators used to assess central obesity, waist-to-height ratio was the most accurate predictor of GSD.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an important public health issue that has been lately linked as a growing concern worldwide.
The Objective: To find out which anthropometric and body composition indices can prognosticate MetS in Jordanian adult females.
Methods: A sample of 656 Jordanian adult females was recruited (January-March 2024) in the middle of Jordan.
Whole grain modified Nova ultra-processed food (UPF) definitions: a cross-sectional analysis of the impact on cardiometabolic risk measures when excluding high whole-grain foods from the UPF category in Australia.

Ultra-processed foods (UPF), defined using the Nova classification system, are associated with increased chronic disease risk. More recently, evidence suggests the UPF subgroup of whole-grain breads and cereals is in fact linked with reduced chronic disease risk. This study aimed to explore associations of cardiometabolic risk measures with Nova UPF intake versus when foods with ≥25% or ≥50% whole grain are excluded from the definition.

Background: The TyG index is an emerging low-cost and efficient indicator that is significantly associated with stroke. Multiple studies have confirmed the impact of the TyG index on cerebrovascular diseases. However, the role of indices combining TyG with different obesity factors, such as triglyceride glucose-waist-height ratio (TyG-WHtR) on stroke risk in obese individuals remains unclear.

Background: Central obesity and breast cancer (BC) have been identified as relevant by empirical research. The weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) is a novel methodology for quantifying central obesity. Inspection of the association between WWI and BC in American adult women was the primary goal of the current investigation.

Methods: Data from 186 patients undergoing SADI-S or SG between September 2013 and October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied in a 1:1 ratio, resulting in 78 patients included in the final analysis (39 per group).
