Body-mass index and risk of obesity-related complex multimorbidity: an observational multicohort study

BMI mediates the association of family medical history with self-reported hypertension and diabetes among older adults: Evidence from baseline wave of the longitudinal aging study in India

“…Similarly, studies indicated that lower body weight may significantly reduce the risk of diabetes and hypertension ( Amador et al, 2006 ; Pinto & Beltrán-Sánchez, 2015 ). Further research indicated that in comparison to normal BMI, relatively obese individuals were at a high risk for comorbidity, particularly in case of hypertension and diabetes ( Kivimäki et al, 2022 ; Min & Cho, 2018 ).…”

‘Obesities’: Position statement on a complex disease entity with multifaceted drivers

“…Currently ongoing and planned initiatives, such as making care delivery less episodic, through flexible, nimble, intelligent, continuous, and integrated awareness of when patients need care and what type, are well poised to have a substantial impact on better characterization and enhanced care delivery that will affect people living with obesity, and pave the way to better address the evident gaps in both clinical care and the current understanding of disease biology, as well as their impact on outcomes. 44 While working towards more comprehensive, accurate, and meaningful pathophysiological-based registries, modelling can be useful for filling gaps of non-existing primary data. Under-reporting or underdiagnosis of excess weight in lowresource settings, underscores the need for optimizing data collection to verify the contribution of specific pathophysiological traits in different socio-economic settings.…”

Effect of Exercise Training on Body Composition and Inflammatory Cytokine Levels in Overweight and Obese Individuals: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis

“…Based on the current trends, the global obesity rate will reach 18% in men and will exceed 21% in women by 2025 ( 3 ). Obesity has become one of the major health problems threatening the world today, and it is closely related to a range of diseases, such as cardiometabolic, digestive, respiratory, musculoskeletal, neurological, and infectious diseases ( 4 , 5 ). The global economic cost of obesity and its complications is estimated to be US$2 trillion ( 2 ).…”
