Summary: The study revealed a strong inverse relationship between daily excretion of all urinary arsenic metabolites and body measures, except for dimethylarsinic acid. Dimethylarsinic acid showed a positive relationship with BMI up to 4.26 μg/L/day, and an inverse relationship beyond that point.

Summary: The prevalence of overweight, obesity, and diabetes is increasing rapidly in low-income and middle-income countries, with BMI affecting the risk of diabetes, but there are significant regional variations in this association.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of caffeine exposure on children's health. The findings suggest that higher caffeine consumption is associated with increased risks of obesity and overweight, as well as higher BMI z-scores and waist circumference. The relationship between caffeine exposure and adverse adiposity outcomes is more significant in children aged 6-11 years compared to those aged 12-19 years.

Summary: Metabolic syndrome is a complex disorder associated with high risks of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This study utilized KNHANES data to investigate neck circumference as a predictor for MetS risk, with findings demonstrating a significant association between neck circumference and MetS risk, suggesting the need for further research for validation.

Summary: The study found that residual waist circumference was significantly associated with all cardiometabolic risk factors in mainland Chinese adults, but not necessarily for other racial/ethnic populations. Furthermore, Chinese adults are more susceptible to the effects of overall obesity and fat distribution on cardiometabolic risk factors compared to other racial/ethnic groups.

Summary: Menopausal transition in women with HIV (WWH) was associated with BMI and WC trajectories that were mostly negative and opposite from women without HIV (WWOH), after adjusting for age, indicating that HIV may blunt weight gain during the menopausal transition.

Summary: The study found that the Waist-BMI Ratio can independently predict overall and cardiovascular mortality risk in a dose-response relationship, with ROC curve analysis showing it to be a better discriminator of mortality compared to BMI, WC, and waist-to-height ratio.

Summary: This study examines the association between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and adiposity in a low-income population. The results show that there is a correlation between adiposity measures (BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio) and certain dimensions of HRQoL. The study highlights the importance of considering the impact of adiposity on HRQoL in low-income populations.

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: This study investigates the trend in general obesity and abdominal obesity among US adults from 2001 to 2018. The study found that both general obesity and abdominal obesity are significant health burdens among US adults, and the prevalence has been increasing during this time period.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) on diabesity in a Chinese community and the moderating role of other health risk factors (HRFs). The study found a significant correlation between SSBs and obesity as well as waist circumference, and sleep patterns and blood glucose levels also had an influence. Furthermore, a three-way interaction was observed between SSBs, sleep patterns, and blood glucose levels. Understanding diabesity caused by SSBs and other HRFs can help in prevention.

Summary: This study examined the association between detectable concentrations of neonicotinoids and adiposity measures among US adults. The results showed that acetamiprid levels were negatively associated with adiposity, while 5-hydroxy-imidacloprid levels were positively associated. Sex was found to modify the associations between neonicotinoid metabolites and adiposity measures.

Summary: The study examined the effects of after-school sedentary screen time on children's brain activation in response to high- and low-calorie food pictures. The findings revealed that sedentary screen time was associated with decreased response inhibition and altered brain activation patterns, potentially leading to disinhibited eating habits and overweight or obesity.

Summary: The study found that active video gaming significantly increased energy expenditure compared to sedentary gaming, leading to higher calorie consumption after the active gaming session. N2 amplitudes were higher when inhibiting high-calorie foods, but there were no significant differences in neural or behavioral measures between active and sedentary gaming sessions.

Summary: This study examined the effect of different levels of sustained physical activity on neural reflections of attention toward food cues in college women. The results showed that habitual physical activity of 10,000, 12,500, or 15,000 steps per day did not affect neural responses to food cues compared to flowers. However, 12,500 steps per day elicited higher LPPs in response to pleasant visual cues.

Summary: The study found an association between routine fasting followed during two-thirds of the lifespan and higher survival rates after cardiac catheterization. This may be partly explained by the link between routine fasting and a lower incidence of heart failure.
