Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between BMI change and stroke in middle-aged and older adults with type 2 diabetes and identify sex differences. The results showed that an increase in BMI was independently associated with a higher risk of stroke in men, while this association was not significant in women. Additionally, a positive dose-response relationship between BMI increase and stroke was observed only in men.

Summary: This study found that diabetes status is associated with low muscle mass and low muscle strength in older adults, and this association depends on body mass index (BMI).

Summary: This study examines the associations of weight change and waist circumference changes with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among older adults. The results suggest that weight loss is associated with an increased risk of mortality, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other life-limiting conditions.

Summary: This study reviewed the relationship between weight change and all-cause mortality in adults aged 65 years and older. The results showed that weight loss, gain, and fluctuation were all associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Further research is needed to determine if these associations vary based on initial weight and intentional weight changes.

Summary: The study found that overweight was associated with a lower risk of cognitive impairment among elderly Chinese adults, while large weight loss was associated with an increased risk.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the BMI threshold for preventing hypertension and investigate the influence of BMI changes on hypertension development. The results showed that the risk of developing hypertension increased significantly when baseline BMI exceeded 20, and the annual change in BMI was positively correlated with hypertension development. These findings underscore the importance of maintaining body weight in preventing hypertension.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between the rate of body weight gain after diagnosis of T1DM and other clinical factors for the development and duration of PR. The results showed that non-remitters had a higher mean increase in BMI-SDS in the first 6 months of diagnosis compared to remitters, and the duration of PR was negatively correlated with the change in BMI-SDS between 6 and 12 months after diagnosis. Male sex, younger age, prepubertal status, and lower HbA1c were predictors of remission, with male sex having the highest chance according to multivariate regression.

Summary: By analyzing the relationship between human plasma lipidome and changes in waist circumference and body mass index, it was found that certain lipid species were strongly associated with waist circumference increase, whereas lipid species containing linoleate were negatively associated with waist circumference and BMI gain. Multivariate models containing lipid species can better identify individuals at a higher risk of gaining waist circumference compared to traditional models.

Summary: The study revealed that among people with incident type 2 diabetes, pre-diagnosis BMI was positively associated with microvascular complications, while weight loss was found to reduce the risk of these complications compared to stable weight. The relationships with macrovascular disease were less clear.

Summary: This study found that younger firefighters tend to gain weight more significantly compared to older firefighters, with younger firefighters also being more likely to gain weight and less likely to lose weight. Smaller weight gains were associated with age and BMI, with the smallest increases observed in overweight and obese firefighters over 45 years old.

Summary: This study evaluated the associations between obesity in young adulthood and adulthood with endometrial cancer risk. The results showed that obesity in both periods was positively associated with endometrial cancer risk, and weight gain was also positively associated with this risk while weight loss was inversely associated.

Summary: The study revealed a negative association between Hhip concentrations and BMI, with overweight and obese individuals having lower Hhip levels. Overweight and obesity were independently associated with lower Hhip concentrations, suggesting Hhip may play a role in linking obesity and diabetes.
