The incidence of co-morbidities related to obesity and overweight: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Background: Overweight and obese persons are at risk of a number of medical conditions which can lead to further morbidity and mortality. The primary objective of this study is to provide an estimate of the incidence of each co-morbidity related to obesity and overweight using a metaanalysis.

“…The current field of aging‐related research is focused more on extending a healthful lifespan, rather than simply extending lifespan, as older individuals with complications of aging that impair the quality of life often do not feel that further extension of lifespan is desirable. It was therefore important to determine whether these mice were also protected from risk factors that impair healthful aging, for example, protection against obesity (American Diabetes, 2004; Brown, Fujioka, Wilson & Woodworth, 2009; Guh et al., 2009) and impaired metabolism (Finkel, 2015; Nguyen, Samson, Reddy, Gonzalez & Sekhar, 2013; Roberts & Rosenberg, 2006). Indeed, the RGS14 KO mice have a reduced WAT/body weight ratio, are protected against the cold, and have increased mitochondrial biogenesis.…”

“…It is difficult to investigate the early events associated with the development of insulin resistance in obese and/or type 2 diabetic humans. When selected for the clinical studies, these individuals were already obese and/or had type 2 diabetes for a prolonged time and often had other associated comorbidities (13). Moreover, the small size and limited selection (only those muscles that could be accessed with a biopsy needle) of skeletal muscle biopsies obtained during clinical studies limits the experimental design.…”

“…In 2008, the global prevalence of obesity was 9.8% in men and 13.0% in women, which is nearly twice the 1980 prevalence rates [7]. Obesity is a known risk factor for many chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, some forms of cancer, and musculoskeletal disorders such as knee osteoarthritis and low back pain [12,18,36].…”
