Summary: Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication after heart transplant, sharing similarities with type 2 diabetes but also having specific causes. This study evaluated the incidence and risk factors of PTDM and studied its relationship with glucose metabolic alterations and heart transplant outcomes. The results showed that PTDM is closely related to BMI increase, metabolic syndrome development, and recipient survival.

Summary: This article provides another perspective by discussing how obesity increases the risk of knee osteoarthritis by altering metabolism and inflammation. The relationship between metabolic syndrome and osteoarthritis is context-dependent, and the factors contributing to obesity-induced osteoarthritis may differ between men and women. Metabolomic analyses have identified potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for knee osteoarthritis.

Summary: This study found that individuals with normal weight obesity (NWO) have a risk ratio for metabolic syndrome similar to individuals with overweight/obesity (OWO), highlighting the need to assess body fat percentages, even in BMI-designated normal weight individuals.

Summary: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) pose a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, and their risk factors are associated with COVID-19 severity and mortality. This study investigated the NCD risk profile among university employees in Indonesia and its relationship with contracting COVID-19. The findings revealed a high prevalence of NCD risk factors among university administrative employees, which increased their susceptibility to COVID-19. The study highlights the urgent need for a behavioral intervention program to manage NCD risk factors at the university level.

Summary: The study aims to evaluate the association of cardiovascular risk in two terminologies (NAFLD and MAFLD) and subgroups of MAFLD. The results showed that both NAFLD and MAFLD were significantly associated with coronary artery calcification (CAC), but only MAFLD remained associated with CAC after adjusting for sex and age. Diabetic MAFLD predicted high-risk CVD phenotypes the best, while metabolic risk abnormalities in nondiabetic MAFLD patients were also independently associated with the risk of CVD.

Summary: This study investigates the proportion of overweight/obesity in young adults with PFP and explores the association of BMI, body fat, and lean mass with functional capacity and hip and knee strength in this population. The results show that more than one-third of PFP patients are overweight/obese, and higher BMI, body fat, and lower lean mass are associated with poorer functional capacity and strength. Thus, considering these factors is important in assessing and managing PFP in young people.

Summary: The study found that increasing relative lean body mass and appendicular skeletal mass can reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome in both men and women, while increasing relative body fat mass index can increase the risk of metabolic syndrome. Particularly, the risk reduction of MetS is more significant in groups with higher baseline BMI and body fat mass index.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of obesity, sarcopenia, and metabolic syndrome in an older adult population in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The results showed that obesity was more closely associated with metabolic syndrome than sarcopenia, especially in women. The prevalence ratio calculated using the C index was 2.3 times higher than the values obtained using the BMI classification.

Summary: This study examined the association between changes in ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and cardiometabolic risk (CMR) factors. The findings revealed that increased UPF consumption was associated with adverse changes in CMR factors among adults with metabolic syndrome.

Summary: This study analyzed US trends in cardiovascular risk factors from 1999 to 2018, finding significant differences persisted between Black and White participants, with social determinants of health potentially moderating these disparities. The research highlighted the importance of considering race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status in understanding cardiovascular health trends over time.

Summary: The study found that physical activity levels in young university students are associated with sleep quality, waist circumference, and blood pressure. Some students engage in moderate to vigorous physical exercise, but the average sleep quality is low. Waist circumference has significant relationships with body mass index, blood pressure, and there is a need to encourage regular and sustainable participation in physical activity among this population.

Summary: The study found that hypertension remained stable among men with normal weight but decreased among men with obesity. Total diabetes and raised total cholesterol increased among adults with obesity, indicating the importance of national prevention efforts to combat the public health impact of excess adiposity.
