Summary: This study investigated the association between lifetime body mass index (BMI) trajectories and bone loss. The results showed that rapid and excess weight gain during adulthood is associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis, but this association varies by skeletal sites. Maintaining stable overweight and obesity at an early stage may have potentially beneficial effects on bone health.

Summary: Hip fracture affects a large number of people globally and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study used data from the UK Women's Cohort Study to investigate the associations between food and nutrient intake and hip fracture risk, and found that body mass index (BMI) plays a role as a potential effect modifier.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between bone mineral density and body composition indicators in Chinese adults aged 50 and above. It found that age, smoking, homocysteine levels, and blood glucose levels are independent risk factors for osteoporosis. Increasing body weight, particularly lean muscle mass, while controlling body fat percentage, can reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the outcomes of both mothers and infants with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) through a lifestyle intervention. The results showed no significant differences in birth, anthropometric, and psychobehavioral outcomes in offspring between the intervention and usual-care groups at birth and up to one year. However, after adjusting for maternal age, offspring sex, and age, there was a borderline significant difference in birth length, with offspring in the intervention group being slightly shorter.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of gestational weight gain (GWG) on the risk of preeclampsia among women with different prepregnancy body mass index (BMI). The findings showed that high prepregnancy BMI and excessive GWG were associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the cardiometabolic abnormalities in women with normal-weight obesity (NWO) in comparison with lean, overweight, and obese women. Significant differences were observed in HDL concentrations between NWO, lean, and obese participants. Individuals with NWO had a significantly higher incidence of cardiometabolic abnormalities when compared to lean participants.

Summary: There is a substantial rate of misclassification of weight status between BMI and BAI in elderly patients with stable CAD. BMI tends to overestimate weight status, while BAI underestimates it. Despite some correlations between BMI and BAI, they exhibit discrepancies in assessing weight status.

Summary: This descriptive survey aimed to identify the predictors of osteoporosis prevention behaviors in women in their 20s and 30s. The study found significant positive correlations between weight control experience, osteoporosis knowledge, and osteoporosis self-efficacy with osteoporosis prevention behaviors.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and food attention bias, as well as the mediating role of body weight dissatisfaction (BWD) in women. The results showed that BMI positively predicted response latency and duration bias on high-calorie foods, and this relationship was completely mediated by BWD.

Summary: Obesity is a significant risk factor in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA), but the mechanism of obesity-related inflammation in OA synovitis is not fully understood. This study found that synovial macrophages infiltrated and polarized in the obesity microenvironment and identified the important role of M1 macrophages in impaired macrophage efferocytosis. The study revealed that obese OA patients and Apoe(-/-) mice showed more severe synovitis and increased macrophage infiltration, accompanied by dominant M1 macrophage polarization.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the relationship between physical activity level, BMI, and quality of life. Results indicate that high- and moderate-intensity physical activity benefit physical health, with moderate PA showing higher significance levels. Additionally, elderly women with higher BMI values achieve better results in the environmental domain of quality of life.

Summary: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard method for measuring bone mineral density (BMD), which is strongly associated with fracture risk. The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) has released new official positions on follow-up DXA examinations, highlighting the importance of considering the clinical context and individualized testing intervals.

Summary: Osteoporosis is often overlooked, and contrast-enhanced CT scans used for other diseases may overestimate bone mineral density. Adjustments for this effect are necessary before contrast-enhanced images can be clinically utilized for BMD screening.
