Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of maternal obesity on neonatal outcomes. The results showed that pregnant women with morbid obesity had a higher risk of composite neonatal morbidity compared to the reference group.

Summary: This study investigated the association between HbA1c levels and adverse outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), considering maternal age, pre-pregnancy BMI, and gestational weight gain (GWG). The results showed that HbA1c was significantly associated with macrosomia, pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), preterm birth, and primary Cesarean section. The associations varied with maternal age, pre-pregnancy BMI, and GWG.

Summary: This study found that mothers whose children experienced adverse perinatal events are more likely to gain weight between pregnancies and move to a higher body mass index category.

Summary: The study revealed that underweight status is associated with the highest risk of AF in Asian patients with T2DM, while overweight status is linked to reduced AF risk. The relationship between BMI and AF risk was found to be J-shaped or L-shaped.

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.

Summary: The study used data from the ACCORD study to examine the association between various obesity indexes and incident DN risk in T2DM patients, finding that higher levels of both central and general obesity were associated with an increased risk of DN in women but not in men.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of recipient BMI on graft outcomes after pancreas transplantation. It was found that increasing recipient BMI had a significant impact on graft survival, especially for recipients on dialysis with a BMI >30 kg/m(2). However, a specific cutoff value for BMI that could predict outcomes accurately was not identified.

Summary: This study aimed to validate the recently introduced metric %AWL for comparing outcomes after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). The weight data of patients who had undergone LSG and LRYGB were analyzed, and %EWL, %TWL, and %AWL metrics were used for comparing their weight loss. The findings suggest that %AWL is the best metric for medium-term comparison after LRYGB, while an intermediary metric based on BMI 8 kg/m(2) provides the best fit for LSG.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between pre-pregnancy BMI and severe maternal morbidity (SMM), perinatal death, and severe neonatal morbidity in twin pregnancies. The results showed little association between overweight or obese pregnant women and adverse outcomes, while underweight pregnant women had a higher risk of adverse outcomes, indicating a need for specific care.

Summary: This study found that obesity may be associated with improved cognitive function in patients with T2DM, and this effect may be mediated by brain structure.

Summary: This study found that maternal overweight and obesity severity are associated with an increased risk of EOS, especially in term infants. Half of the impact is mediated through preeclampsia, cesarean section delivery, and preterm delivery. A dose-response association was consistently present in term infants.

Summary: This study found a significant association between early pregnancy obesity and postpartum hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes risk. Adverse pregnancy outcomes were related to increased incidence of postpartum hypertension and hyperlipidemia. However, these adverse pregnancy outcomes only partially mediated the association between early pregnancy obesity and postpartum hypertension.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether muscle mass is associated with the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes, and whether this association differs within different weight categories. The results showed that muscle mass was associated with both the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes in men and women. This association was strongest in women of normal weight.

Summary: Based on national data collected in China from 2013 to 2018, the prevalence of diabetes increased, while awareness, treatment, and control of diabetes did not significantly improve. Risk factors such as low physical activity and high intake of red meat, overweight, and obesity also increased during this period.

Summary: Periconceptional maternal obesity is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Identifying biomarkers of pathways affected by maternal obesity can provide insights into pathophysiological mechanisms and identify individuals at risk of adverse clinical outcomes. This systematic review identified biomarkers in the endocrine, inflammatory, and one-carbon metabolic pathways influenced by maternal obesity.

Summary: Incorporating early transvaginal assessment of anatomy in obese women can improve the completion rate and lead to earlier completion of the fetal anatomic survey. Consideration should be given to including an early transvaginal sonogram in routine assessment of women with a BMI >= 35.

Summary: Teenage pregnancy is a global issue with significant negative consequences, including economic hardships and health problems. Despite a declining trend in international adolescent pregnancy rates, there are still a substantial number of unplanned pregnancies among teenagers annually. Teenage pregnancy also increases the risk of obstetric complications and requires a multidisciplinary approach to care.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the kinetics of vitamin D in pregnant and non-pregnant women using stable isotopes. The results showed that pregnant women had a longer half-life of 25(OH)D-3 and a positive correlation between AUC of d3-25(OH)D-3 and serum DBP concentration.

Summary: This study analyzed the non-medical impact of COVID-19 on the LGBTQ+ community in the United States and found that they experienced increased stress. BIPOC and deaf LGBTQ+ individuals were more likely to be negatively affected. Public health interventions should address the specific needs and intersectional experiences of these communities.
