Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using correction modeling to improve the accuracy of mother-reported child height and weight at 2 years. Correction modeling for BMI was conducted, and the indirect correction method showed better prediction of overweight status and agreement with measured values compared to the mother-reported measures.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that overweight and obesity are associated with an increased risk of CKD in Asian populations. The association between BMI and CKD was stronger in adult males and individuals with diabetes, hypertension, etc. If confirmed in longitudinal studies, these findings may have clinical implications for risk assessment and prevention strategies.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effects of dapagliflozin in patients with chronic kidney disease and albuminuria, with and without type 2 diabetes, stratified by BMI. The results showed that dapagliflozin had kidney and cardiovascular benefits across different BMI categories.

Summary: Longitudinal changes in BMI z-scores among overweight and obese children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) showed a significant decline over time, especially in obese children under 6 years old. Socioeconomic factors were not associated with BMI changes.

Summary: This study suggests that adiposity may have a causal role in the development of cardiopulmonary multimorbidity, and maintaining an ideal waist-hip ratio may be effective in preventing CP-MM.

Summary: This study aimed to identify different classes of individuals with similar BMI trajectories and study their associations with cardiometabolic health. Results showed that individuals with high and stable BMI across childhood may have lower cardiometabolic disease risk than individuals who become overweight or obese later in adolescence.

Summary: Individuals with metabolic health issues are at greater risk of ischemic stroke, with hypertension being the most significant metabolic risk factor. Those who are metabolically healthy but overweight or obese have a similar risk of ischemic stroke as those with normal weight.

Summary: As children grow older, those with a higher risk of overweight also have a higher risk of HBP. Children who transition from normal weight to overweight have a higher risk of developing HBP.

Summary: The study found that human serum has the potential to stimulate growth in non-tumorigenic cells, but circulating levels of FGF2 were not significantly correlated. The transforming effects of human serum may require FGF2 activation of FGFR1.

Summary: Obesity and abdominal obesity are associated with an increased risk of developing CKD in young adults, especially those under 30 years old. Surprisingly, young adults with diabetes who are obese or have abdominal obesity show a lower risk of CKD compared to those without obesity or abdominal obesity.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the characteristics, prevalence, and severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Asian Americans. The results showed that Asian Americans had a relatively high prevalence of NAFLD, with increased hepatocellular injury and triglyceride levels compared to non-Asian Americans, but similar fibrosis stages.

Summary: Weight change has an impact on hepatic steatosis incidence in metabolically healthy overweight or obese individuals. Clinically relevant weight loss can reduce the risk of developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, with or without intermediate or high probability of advanced fibrosis.
