Anti-obesity therapy with peripheral CB1 blockers: from promise to safe(?) practice. Central fatness and risk of all cause mortality: systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of 72 prospective cohort studies. Abstract Objective To quantify the association of indices of central obesity, including waist circumference, hip circumference, thigh circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, waist-to-thigh ratio, body adiposity index, and A body shape index, with the risk of all cause mortality in the general population, and to clarify the shape of the dose-response relations.
Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources PubMed and Scopus from inception to July 2019, and the reference lists of all related articles and reviews. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Prospective cohort studies reporting the risk estimates of all cause mortality across at least three categories of indices of central fatness. Studies that reported continuous estimation of the associations were also included. Data synthesis A random effects dose-response meta-analysis was conducted to assess linear trend estimations.

Potential therapeutic applications of the gut microbiome in obesity: from brain function to body detoxification. The global burden of disease attributable to high body mass index in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017: An analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study. Abstract Background Obesity represents an urgent problem that needs to be properly addressed, especially among children.
Public and global health policy- and decision-makers need timely, reliable quantitative information to develop effective interventions aimed at counteracting the burden generated by high body mass index (BMI). Few studies have assessed the high-BMI-related burden on a global scale. Safety and side effects of apple vinegar intake and its effect on metabolic parameters and body weight: a systematic review. What words should we use to talk about weight? A systematic review of quantitative and qualitative studies examining preferences for weight‐related terminology - Puhl - 2020 - Obesity Reviews.
Evidence of weight stigma and its harmful consequences have led to increased attention to the words that are used to talk about obesity and body weight, including calls for efforts to carefully consider weight‐related terminology and promote respectful language in the obesity and medical fields.
Despite increased research studies examining people's preferences for specific words that describe body weight, there has been no systematic review to synthesize existing evidence on perceptions of and preferences for weight‐related terminology. To address this gap, the current systematic review identified 33 studies (23 quantitative, 10 qualitative) that examined people's preferences for weight‐related terminology in the current research literature (from 1999 to 2019).
Dietary Recommendations for Bariatric Patients to Prevent Kidney Stone Formation. Calcium absorption predominantly occurs in the duodenum and proximal jejunum and is dependent on vitamin D levels.
Due to fat malabsorption, all fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) are at risk of deficiency among bariatric patients. Some investigators pointed out a deficient calcium intake and vitamin D deficiency after RYGB [60]. Schafer et al. [61] demonstrated that even patients with acceptable levels of vitamin D (≥ 30 ng/mL) and maintained under an adequate calcium intake (> 1200 mg/day) had a marked decrease in intestinal calcium absorption from 33% preoperatively to 7% after 6 months of RYGB. The common use of proton-pump inhibitors by bariatric patients may also affect calcium absorption contributing to the exacerbation of such deficiency [62]. Clinical studies have also identified hypovitaminosis D in morbidly obese patients prior to RYGB [63,64]. Calcium absorption predominantly occurs in the duodenum and proximal jejunum and is dependent on vitamin D levels.
Effects and mechanisms of edible and medicinal plants on obesity: an updated review: Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition: Vol 0, No 0. In recent years, obesity has become a global public health issue.

Joint international consensus statement for ending stigma of obesity. Prevalence of weight bias, stigma, and discrimination Substantial research has demonstrated that weight stigma and discrimination are pervasive, global issues7,8.
Weight stigma has been documented in multiple societal domains, including the workplace, education, healthcare settings, and within families9,10. Stigma has persisted despite the markedly increased prevalence of obesity in recent decades.

Effectiveness of herbal medicines for weight loss: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials - Maunder - - Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism. Overweight and obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide, with the global prevalence doubling since 1980.1 Obesity affects almost every aspect of health and is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and various cancers.2-4 Lifestyle interventions, including increasing physical activity and decreasing energy intake, are key components for treating obesity; however, results do not consistently show lifestyle modifications alone as promoting sufficient and sustained weight loss.5, 6 Conforming to a new regimen is problematic for many, and after the initial weight loss, weight regain is common.7 People unable to reduce weight satisfactorily with lifestyle interventions may be candidates for pharmacotherapy as an adjunct.
Despite the many supplements available, few have scientific support for their safety and efficacy. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs that require approval before being marketed, clinical evidence is not required for supplements. The Obesity Pandemic—Whose Responsibility?
