Summary: The study found that obesity is associated with a higher risk for tooth loss, especially among females. Furthermore, the risk for tooth loss is also affected by periodontal status and smoking.

Summary: The study found that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Cases with OSA were more likely to be male and have hypertension, heart disease, hyperlipidemia, and higher body mass index compared to those without OSA. Logistic regression analysis showed that OSA is a risk factor for ICH.

Summary: Childhood hearing loss has significant impacts on development, and while obesity was not found to be associated with pediatric SNHL in this study, underweight children were shown to have a higher risk. Autism was found to be significantly associated with sub-clinical SNHL, indicating the need for further research on systemic risk factors for SNHL.

Summary: This study reveals a high prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes among truckers in South Africa. Waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, and waist-to-hip ratio are associated with increased risk of these health issues. The findings highlight the importance of developing tailored prevention programs for this population.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effect of obesity phenotype on the incidence of diabetes. The results showed that individuals with metabolically healthy obesity had a higher risk of diabetes compared to those with metabolically healthy normal weight.

Summary: The objectives of this study are to estimate the relationship between obesity (BMI >= 30) and the prevalence of melanoma in different US states, and to examine the possibility of defining a new risk group. The results show a negative correlation between obesity and the incidence of melanoma, especially in the high-risk Caucasian subgroup. It is concluded that primary prevention and secondary prevention measures should be continued, including raising awareness of photoprotection and promoting skin screening among the entire population group, with a focus on the high-risk Caucasian subgroup with BMI < 30.

Summary: The study found that later sleep timing was related to obesogenic behaviors in children and may represent an obesity risk factor.

Summary: The study found that in OSA patients, basal O2 saturation is independent of AHI, BMI, and age, and is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. One-way Cox regression analysis showed a higher risk of earlier type 2 diabetes for increased BMI, AHI, decreased basal O2, and O2 nadir values, while lowered mean O2 desaturation did not show statistical significance. In CART analysis, cut-off points of 92.2%, 81.7%, and 87.1% were determined for basal O2, O2 nadir, and mean O2 desaturation, with the first two parameters being statistically significant.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that sleep disturbances and disorders are significantly associated with chronic postsurgical pain, but with a small effect size. The association varies in different patient groups and outcomes, possibly due to various factors. Therefore, preoperative evaluation of sleep issues is important in identifying patients at risk for chronic postsurgical pain.

Summary: Individuals with type 1 diabetes are at an increased risk of obstructive sleep apnoea compared with people without diabetes. Clinicians should suspect obstructive sleep apnoea in patients with type 1 diabetes if they are old, have obesity, are male, have atrial fibrillation or depression, or if they are taking lipid-lowering or antihypertensive drugs.

Summary: Diabetes and excess body weight are associated with negative outcomes in bladder cancer prognosis. Diabetic patients have higher risks compared to non-diabetics, while overweight patients do not show significant differences compared to normal BMI individuals. However, obese individuals have higher risks for disease progression and recurrence compared to normal BMI patients.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of expanding the scope of remote monitoring to include body weight, blood pressure, and physical activity on weight reduction in OSA patients receiving CPAP therapy. The results showed that multimodal telemonitoring enhanced weight reduction efforts, especially in promoting step counts.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the impact of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), with a focus on preconception BMI and age. Understanding these factors could inform prevention and intervention strategies in areas with high prevalence of GDM. Importance rating: 8/10.
