“…In Brazil, data from a large national survey (Vigitel) demonstrates that between 2006 and 2019, obesity increased from 11.8% to 20.3%, an average increase of 0.6% a year, a trend observed in both sexes and across all age groups and educational levels. However, a slightly higher increase of obesity prevalence was observed among women in comparison to men during this period (8.8% increase for women vs 8.1% increase for men) 4 .…”

Purpose: Exercise has been documented as a critical strategy for improving physical and mental health. However, the impact of exercise training (ET) on quality of life (QoL) among obese is controversial. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of a 20-week ET program in women with obesity and the influence of baseline weight status on QoL responses to the ET program. Methods: This secondary analysis from a quasi-experimental study included 40 obese women (BMI >30 kg/m2) aged between 18 and 65 years old (20 interventions and 20 controls). The intervention group participated in a moderate-to-vigorous intensity ET thrice a week, nutritional guidance, and psychological support. The control group received the same activities of nutritional guidance and psychological support but did not perform the ET. Measurements of QoL (WHOQOL-Bref) were performed at baseline and after 20- week follow-up. Results: No significant impact of 20-week ET on QoL among obese women was observed. However, greater improvements in physical health, psychological, social relationship, and environment domains were observed for every increase in 1 unit of baseline BMI, except for the overall QoL score. Conclusions/Recommendation: We can speculate that the better QoL responses to ET among those with higher BMI at baseline may be explained by the fact that individuals with more severe obesity are more impacted by functional limitations, stigmatization, discrimination, and social isolation; therefore, presenting worse QoL.

“…Global data on the prevalence of class III obesity is limited, however existing data suggests that rates of class III obesity are continuing to grow. [37][38][39] In addition, our estimate for participation rate of adults with class III obesity was only calculated using studies that included any participants with class III obesity. As noted previously, 75 additional studies were excluded based on a lack of participants with class III obesity.…”

“…Even when accounting for the lower prevalence of class III obesity in the United States in the 1990s (age‐adjusted prevalence of 2.8% in 1988–1994), 35 when some of the studies included in our review were conducted, the overall prevalence of class III obesity in those studies still tended to be below the overall US estimates. Global data on the prevalence of class III obesity is limited, however existing data suggests that rates of class III obesity are continuing to grow 37–39 . In addition, our estimate for participation rate of adults with class III obesity was only calculated using studies that included any participants with class III obesity.…”

SummaryThe measurement of habitual energy intake remains a challenge in nutrition research. High levels of misreporting, particularly among adults with obesity, have been observed when comparing self‐reported energy intake to energy expenditure assessed via the doubly labeled water technique. Little is known about misreporting in adults with class III obesity (body mass index ≥40 kg/m2). This systematic review assessed the representation of adults with class III obesity in dietary validation studies and the validity of self‐reported dietary energy intake for this group. Studies were included in this review if they: compared self‐reported energy intake assessment method(s) to doubly labeled water, had participants ≥18 years old, and included participants with class III obesity. Fifteen studies met these criteria. Of those, eight included information about the number of participants with class III obesity. Out of 1784 participants across eight studies, 63 (3.5%) participants had class III obesity, compared to 9.2% of US adults with class III obesity. Six studies provided data on validity of energy intake assessment for class III obesity, with five of these showing underreporting. Participants with class III obesity are underrepresented in dietary validation studies. Future research should explore the role of weight status on dietary reporting accuracy.

Although studies have quantified the current burden of diseases attributable to overweight and obesity in Brazil, none have estimated its burden in the future. The study aimed to estimate the potential impact of different scenarios of changes in the prevalence of overweight on non-communicable diseases (NCD) in the Brazilian adult population until 2030. We developed a multistate life table model including 11 body mass index (BMI) related diseases to estimate attributable NCDs cases and deaths under the following scenarios of changes in overweight over a 10-year simulation: (1) the continuity of the current trajectory of BMI increases, (2) reducing the rate of increase by half, (3) stopping future BMI increases, and (4) the reduction of the prevalence of overweight by 6.7%. In Brazil, if the current trends of BMI increase are maintained from 2021 to 2030, approximately 5.26 million incident cases and 808.6 thousand deaths from NCDs may occur due to overweight. If the annual increase in overweight was reduced by half until 2030, 1.1% of new NCD cases and 0.2% of deaths could be prevented (respectively, 29,600 cases and 1900 deaths). Alternatively, if the current prevalence of overweight is maintained, as set as a national goal in Brazil until 2030, the incident NCD cases and the deaths could be reduced by respectively 3.3% (92,900) and 1.5% (12,100) compared to continuation of current trends. If the prevalence of overweight is reduced by 6.7% until 2030, 6.5% (182,200) of NCD cases and 4.2% (33,900) of deaths could be prevented. The epidemiologic burden of overweight in Brazil tends to increase if bold policy interventions are not adopted in Brazil.
