Summary: This study found that neck circumference and waist circumference were associated with increased risk of all-cause death in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially in women. However, body mass index was not associated with any of the analyzed outcomes.

Summary: The study analyzed the association between fruit intake and body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in a representative sample of Peruvians. Fruit intake per serving was found to be negatively related to general body adiposity and central fat distribution. However, the consumption of fruit in the form of juices was positively associated with a significant increase in BMI and WC.

Summary: This study used a Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis to examine the causal effects of general adiposity and abdominal adiposity on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and hip osteoarthritis (HOA). The results showed that both general and abdominal obesity are causally related to KOA and HOA, but waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) has no causal relationship with obesity.

Summary: Different trajectories were observed in waist circumference and triglyceride levels between genders. High stable and high-increasing waist circumference trajectories were significantly associated with incident hypertension. For triglyceride levels, decreasing and inverse U-shape trajectories among women were significantly associated with hypertension risk.

Summary: The study found that the visceral adiposity index (VAI) had a better performance in predicting metabolically unhealthy phenotype in children and adolescents compared to traditional adiposity indicators. VAI was most strongly related to metabolically unhealthy phenotype and could be used as a comprehensive predictor to identify unhealthy metabolic phenotype in this population.

Summary: This study found that BMI remains the primary marker for screening excessive adiposity in assessing the risk of mortality. However, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, and body fat percentage can also be valuable additional indicators in the evaluation of mortality risk.

Summary: The study found that ESRD patients have a significantly lower number of T-cell subsets compared to CKD patients, which is related to a higher degree of apoptosis in these cells.

Summary: This study investigates the bidirectional relationship between adiposity and cognitive function using a large, representative sample. The findings suggest that higher waist circumference is associated with higher Stroop interference, and vice versa, particularly in middle-aged adults.

Summary: Regular consumption of non-fat milk was associated with lower levels of abdominal adiposity, while no significant differences were found for full-fat milk drinkers or milk abstainers.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between anthropometric parameters and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality among diabetic patients. The results showed that arm circumference (AC) and arm-to-waist ratio (AC/WC) were inversely associated with CVD and all-cause mortality among individuals with diabetes. These anthropometric parameters are important for diabetic patients.

Summary: This study investigated the association between eating speed and abdominal obesity in a Vietnamese population. The results showed that a faster eating speed was associated with a higher prevalence of abdominal obesity.

Summary: This study investigated the association of baseline obesity measures and their trajectories over time with incident CKD. Results showed that baseline obesity in terms of BMI, WC, and HC increased the odds of CKD incidence, while baseline WHR did not show such an association. Nonobese BMI, WC, or WHR trajectories, and constantly not large HC trajectory decreased the hazard of CKD incidence compared to constantly obese or became obese trajectories.

Summary: In this post hoc analysis, researchers analyzed data from 4952 patients with type 2 diabetes and found that waist-to-hip ratio, waist circumference, and waist circumference adjusted for hip circumference were independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease outcomes. However, body mass index was only a risk factor for heart failure requiring hospitalization. These findings indicate the importance of considering body fat distribution when assessing cardiovascular risk.

Summary: This study finds that among older Chinese individuals, the BMI-Asian/Hong Kong criteria is a better predictor of diabetes than other BMI criteria. When combined with WC-China criteria, it improves the prediction of adiposity to diabetes.
