Adiposity is not associated with caries among youth in the United States.
(2023-11)BACKGROUND: Body mass index has been traditionally used to determine the nutritional status of children in studies on obesity and caries. Imaging methods provide a superior assessment of body fat. This study investigated ... -
Adiposity-related heterogeneity in patterns of type 2 diabetes susceptibility observed in genome-wide association data.
(2009-02)OBJECTIVE: This study examined how differences in the BMI distribution of type 2 diabetic case subjects affected genome-wide patterns of type 2 diabetes association and considered the implications for the etiological ... -
Advancing the communication of genetic risk for cardiometabolic diseases: a critical interpretive synthesis.
(2023-11-13)BACKGROUND: Genetics play an important role in risk for cardiometabolic diseases-including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. Existing research has explored the clinical utility of genetic risk tools such ... -
Antral resection versus antral preservation during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for severe obesity: Systematic review and meta-analysis
(Elsevier Inc., 2018-06-01)Although laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an established operation for severe obesity, there is controversy regarding the extent to which the antrum is excised. The objective of this systematic review was to investigate ... -
Are children living with obesity more likely to experience musculoskeletal symptoms during childhood? A linked longitudinal cohort study using primary care records.
(2024-03-12)OBJECTIVE: To assess whether there is a higher incidence of musculoskeletal consultations in general practice among children with obesity. DESIGN: Longitudinal SETTING: 285 north-east London general practitioners (GPs). ... -
Areca catechu-(Betel-nut)-induced whole transcriptome changes in a human monocyte cell line that may have relevance to diabetes and obesity; a pilot study.
(2021-08-14)BACKGROUND: Betel-nut consumption is the fourth most common addictive habit globally and there is good evidence linking the habit to obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the metabolic syndrome. The aim of our pilot study was ... -
Caloric Restriction per se Rather Than Dietary Macronutrient Distribution Plays a Primary Role in Metabolic Health and Body Composition Improvements in Obese Mice.
(MDPI, 2021-08-28)Caloric restriction (CR) is of key importance in combating obesity and its associated diseases. We aimed to examine effects of dietary macronutrient distribution on weight loss and metabolic health in obese mice exposed ... -
