“…According to our results, the only clinical characteristic that showed a significant difference between CRP and AN was obesity, which was more prevalent in the AN group. This is consistent with the results of previous reports, but the number of overweight patients was higher in the CRP group (27of 47, 57%) than the estimated prevalence of overweight individuals in the local population aged 20–29 years (34.8%) . The relationship between obesity and CRP has been questioned in the past, because cases of concomitant AN and CRP in obese patients have been reported .…”

“…Among adult men with obesity, 42.3%, 41.2%, 36.8%, and 37.8% were in their thirties, forties, fifties, and sixties, indicating that obesity prevalence peaked in their thirties and forties. Among adult women, the prevalence of low weight was high in their twenties, whereas that of obesity increased to 19.0%, 26.7%, 33.8%, and 43.3% in their thirties, fifties, fifties, and sixties, respectively, indicating that obesity prevalence peaked among menopausal women in their fifties and sixties [ 2 ]. With increasing age, body composition changes in such a way that the number of cells in muscles and internal organs decrease, while fat structure and body fluid outside fat cells do not change, which increases the fat-to-body weight ratio and further increases the incidence of obesity [ 1 3 ].…”

Onion peel extract reduces the percentage of body fat in overweight and obese subjects: a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESThe anti-obesity effect of quercetin-rich onion peel extract (OPE) was suggested in rats, but information from human studies is limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of OPE on the body composition of overweight and obese subjects.MATERIALS/METHODSIn this 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, parallel clinical trials were performed in overweight and obese Korean subjects. Randomly assigned subjects were instructed to take daily either the placebo (male, 6 and female, 30) or OPE capsules containing 100 mg of quercetin (male, 5 and female, 31). Body composition was measured by using bioimpedance and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Resting energy expenditure (REE) and respiratory quotient (RQ) were evaluated by using indirect calorie measurement methods. Fasting blood levels of glucose, insulin, lipids, and leptin were determined.RESULTSQuercetin-rich OPE supplementation significantly reduced the weight and percentage of body fat as measured by DXA (P = 0.02). These effects were not shown in the control group. Levels of blood glucose (P = 0.04) and leptin (P = 0.001 for placebo, P = 0.002 for OPE) decreased in both groups. Significant increases in REE and RQ were observed in both groups (P = 0.003 for placebo, P = 0.006 for OPE) and in the OPE group alone (P = 0.02), respectively.CONCLUSIONSQuercetin-rich OPE supplementation changed the body composition of the overweight and obese subjects. This result suggests a beneficial role of the anti-obesity effect of OPE human subjects.

“…According to a prior Korean study comparing the difference in obesity and overweight based on the CHS and the KNHANES, the obesity and overweight prevalence for both gender combined in the CHS were 8.6%p and 7.8%p lower than those from the KNHANES, respectively. 27 Nonetheless, our results showed that the correlation coefficients of district-level age-standardized overweight prevalence based on the NHSD and the CHS were relatively high, 0.71 for men and 0.81 for women, indicating that the age-standardized overweight prevalence from the two databases had a similar tendency at the district level.…”

Prevalence of Overweight and Income Gaps in 245 Districts of Korea: Comparison Using the National Health Screening Database and the Community Health Survey, 2009–2014

BackgroundWe compared age-standardized overweight prevalence and their income gaps at the level of district in Korea using the National Health Screening Database (NHSD) and the Community Health Survey (CHS).MethodsWe analyzed 39,093,653 subjects in the NHSD and 926,580 individuals in the CHS between 2009 and 2014. For the comparison of body mass index (BMI) distributions, data from 26,100 subjects in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were also analyzed. We calculated the age-standardized overweight prevalence and its interquintile income gap at the district level. We examined the magnitudes of the between-period correlation for age-standardized overweight prevalence. The differences in overweight prevalence and its income gap between the NHSD and the CHS were also investigated.ResultsThe age-adjusted mean BMI from the CHS was lower than those from the NHSD and the KNHANES. The magnitudes of the between-period correlation for overweight prevalence were greater in the NHSD compared to the CHS. We found that the district-level overweight prevalence in the NHSD were higher in all districts of Korea than in the CHS. The correlation coefficients for income gaps in overweight prevalence between the two databases were relatively low. In addition, when using the NHSD, the district-level income inequalities in overweight were clearer especially among women than the inequalities using the CHS.ConclusionThe relatively large sample size for each district and measured anthropometric data in the NHSD are more likely to contribute to valid and reliable measurement of overweight inequality at the district level in Korea.
