Introduction: Short sleep duration has been implicated in an increased body mass index (BMI), potentially through disruptions in appetite-regulating hormones, such as leptin and ghrelin. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to exam...
Objectives—Health screening data were collected from participants at Native American community and celebratory events to evaluate their health status and identify common health concerns. These results will form the basis for developing communit...
Background: Weight stigma describes the negative attitudes held toward people with obesity. Weight bias stereotypes have been previously reported in physicians, physician assistants, nurses, registered dieticians, psychologists, and students enrolled...
Binge eating is the cardinal feature of Binge-Eating Disorder (BED) and is known to be associated with obesity with bidirectional causality. This study aimed to investigate the association of diagnostic specifiers of binge eating, as mandated in the...
Weight stigma remains a pervasive issue in contemporary society, impacting individuals’ psychological well-being, social inclusion, and access to opportunities. This study explored the lived experiences of overweight women, focusing on body ima...
The Mediterranean lifestyle (ML), encompassing key elements such as the Mediterranean diet (MD), regular physical activity, social engagement, sleep-enhancing habits, sustainable food practices, including reducing food waste and opting for seasonal a...
Introduction: Adequate protein intake is essential for maintaining lean body mass during weight loss, particularly for patients undergoing bariatric surgery (BS). Whey protein supplementation may help meet daily protein requirements. This study aimed...
Given the ubiquity of anti-fat prejudice, in this experimental study, we tested whether weight gain attributed to COVID-19 would influence evaluations of overweight male and female targets. Female participants (N = 160) were randomly assigned to read...
The feminist perspective is relevant to the understanding, prevention, and treatment of disturbances in eating and body image. However, limited empirical research has explored the relationship between feminist identity and weight stigma. The present...
Obesity-Related Multimorbidity (ORM) is understood as the group of secondary diseases caused by metabolic alterations that arise from obesity. Nowadays there is a growing incidence of people with ORM who seek health services. Since this condition sub...
This study examined the mediating role of prenatal cortisol on the relationship between gestational weight or adiposity and postpartum depression (PPD), while considering the moderating roles of breastfeeding (BF) or socioeconomic resources. We hypot...
This study examines the spatial and temporal evolution of obesity among adults in Italian regions. In Italy, regional administrative areas are responsible for providing health services. Moreover, Italian regions present different socioeconomic condit...
Excessive sugar consumption has been reported to be associated with various health issues such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and dental problems. In the UK, effective strategies have been implemented to reduce sugar intake, including...
Lycium barbarum (L. barbarum), commonly known as goji berry, is a functional food recognised for its diverse phytochemical composition and health benefits, particularly in metabolic health and disease prevention. This review explores its phytochemist...
The diagnosis of obesity is conventionally determined by the Body Mass Index (BMI), with a threshold of 30 being extensively accepted. However, the validity of this cutoff point is subject to variation due to ethnic differences, and its accuracy in t...
(1) Background: Spatial energy expenditure patterns, driven by physical activity, particularly among females, remain underexplored in Ghana. This study, therefore, investigates spatial energy expenditure clustering or dispersion patterns using metabo...
Background: Obesity adversely affects sleep quality through mechanisms such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hormonal imbalances that disrupt the circadian rhythm. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) helps reduce fat, inflammation, and stress...
Reducing abdominal subcutaneous fat is a common concern among women, with evidence suggesting that combining aerobic exercise with external shock waves or radiofrequency may enhance fat reduction. This study aimed to assess the effects of six session...
In aging, chronic diseases such as obesity accelerate metabolic dysfunction through chronic inflammation and insulin resistance. This review compared three different dietary strategies to evaluate their mechanisms and benefits for metabolic health an...
Background/Objectives: Obesity is a chronic, progressive, recurrent disease associated with impaired health, affecting an increasing proportion of the population worldwide. Newer-generation incretin-based therapies (IBTs) (liraglutide, semaglutide, a...
The rise in obesity and its associated health problems increases the need for therapeutic approaches such as bariatric surgery. Therefore, this study aims to explore the changes in the anthropometric and body composition characteristics of patients u...
Background/Objectives: Metabolic syndrome (MetSy) comprises a cluster of risk factors—including obesity, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, and impaired glucose metabolism—that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and o...
Obesity represents a global health challenge, with a critical and urgent need for long-term, sustainable management strategies. Tirzepatide is a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) recepto...
Obesity is one of the most pressing global public health challenges of the 21st century, affecting over a billion people worldwide. Poland, like many industrialized countries, is experiencing a rapid increase in obesity prevalence across all age grou...
The increasing prevalence of excess body weight and physical inactivity among young adults raises concerns about their impact on dynamic postural control. This study aimed to examine the relationship of nutritional status and physical activity level...
An increasingly obese population has spread worldwide. But what causes so many people to be overweight or obese? Obesity is also one of the most significant public health problems in Finland, as the obesity rate in Finland has increased over the past...
Obesity remains a complex global health issue, necessitating multifaceted treatment approaches. Injectable pharmacotherapies have emerged as effective strategies to manage obesity by targeting metabolic pathways that regulate appetite, energy expendi...
The aim of this study was to analyze trends in rates of obesity amongst Mississippi adults between 2017 and 2023 based on five health determinants: gender, education, age, race, and socioeconomic status. We calculated standard errors using Microsoft...
Obesity is a complex chronic condition with multifactorial causes. Among these, psychological stress and mental health have emerged as significant contributors to the development and maintenance of obesity in adults. Chronic stress can influence eati...
Disordered eating, such as binge-eating and loss of control eating (LOCE), contribute to suboptimal weight loss and weight regain in some patients who undergo weight loss surgery (WLS). Despite robust evidence linking disordered eating and poor WLS o...
