Objective: To assess the complementary role of the Body Mass Index (BMI) and Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) in predicting all-cause and cause-specific mortality in people living with overweight and obesity (PLwOW/O).
Methods: A longitudinal analysis of prospectively collected data from the 1999-2018 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was conducted. The association between BMI, EOSS, and mortality was evaluated through Cox regression models, adjusted for confounders.
Results: The analysis included 36,529 subjects; 5329 deaths occurred over a median follow-up of 9.1 years (range: 0-20.8). An increased mortality risk was observed for obesity class II and III (HR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.08-1.36, = 0.001 and HR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.39-1.80, < 0.001; compared to overweight), and for EOSS stage 2 and 3 (HR = 1.36, 95% CI 1.16-1.58, < 0.001 and HR = 2.66, 95% CI 2.26-3.14, < 0.001; compared to stage 0/1). The prognostic role of BMI was more pronounced in younger patients, males, and non-Black individuals, while that of EOSS was stronger in women. Both BMI and EOSS independently predicted cardiovascular- and diabetes-related mortality. EOSS stage 3 was the only predictor of death from malignancy or renal causes.
Conclusions: BMI and EOSS independently predict all-cause and cause-specific mortality in PLwOW/O. Their integrated use seems advisable to best define the obesity-related mortality risk.

Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated a correlation between a high body mass index and discriminatory COVID-19 outcomes. Studies appear to indicate that there is a correlation between obesity-related comorbidities and less favorable outcomes.
Objectives: The primary aim of the current investigation is to conduct a thorough assessment of the correlation between BMI and comorbidities associated with obesity, and their potential impact on the severity and consequences of COVID-19 infection among patients receiving care in a tertiary healthcare setting.

Childhood obesity, affecting 29% of 7-9-year-olds across 33 European countries, is a significant public health challenge. Its persistence into adulthood poses grave health risks influenced by genetic, environmental, and socio-economic factors. Belgium introduced a new care pathway in December 2023, based on the Edmonton Obesity Staging System for Pediatrics (EOSS-P), addressing four health domains and staging obesity severity.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 50 kg/m is a challenging procedure and BMI ≥ 50 kg/m has been identified as independent risk factor for postoperative complications and increased morbidity in previous studies. The objective of the present study was to assess whether a BMI ≥ 50 kg/m and various established risk factors maintain their significance in patients undergoing fully robotic RYGB (rRYGB). A single-center analysis of prospectively collected data of 113 consecutive patients undergoing standardized rRYGB with robotic stapling technique and hand-sewn gastrojejunostomy using the daVinci Xi system.

The Edmonton Obesity Staging System for Pediatrics (EOSS-P) provides a way to categorize the medical and functional impacts of obesity according to the severity of impairment. The aim of this study was to describe the severity of obesity among a sample of multicultural Australian children using both BMI and EOSS-P tools.
