Summary: This meta-analysis aimed to assess the association between gestational weight gain (GWG) and postpartum depression (PPD). The study found that both excessive and inadequate weight gain during pregnancy were associated with a higher risk of developing PPD. These results emphasize the importance of prevention and intervention strategies to promote maternal and infant health during pregnancy.

Summary: This study found that both individual and neighborhood factors were associated with adiposity change among Black breast cancer survivors. Only a small proportion of women had intentional weight loss, and multilevel risk factors differed greatly from unintentional loss.

Summary: This systematic review examines the association between physical activity during pregnancy and gestational weight gain. The findings suggest that active pregnant women tend to gain less weight compared to inactive women, and a lack of physical activity may contribute to excessive weight gain during pregnancy.

Summary: Based on the analysis of 48 studies in children and 37 studies in adults, it was found that each additional serving of sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) was associated with a 0.07 kg/m2 increase in BMI in children and a 0.42 kg increase in body weight in adults. Reducing SSB intake can lead to lower BMI in children, while increasing SSB intake can lead to weight gain in adults. The findings highlight the importance of limiting SSB consumption for weight control and obesity prevention.

Summary: This observational study examined the changes in body weight, eating behaviors, physical activity, and basal metabolic rate among first-year university students. The results showed that female students are at risk of unfavorable changes in body composition, while male students are more prone to sedentary behaviors. Intervention measures targeting high intakes of saturated fat, sugars, and sodium are warranted in this vulnerable group.

Summary: Parental overweight/obesity has negative consequences on their children's mental health, especially when mothers are overweight/obese before pregnancy, which increases the risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, cognitive/intellectual delay, behavioral problems, and other mental diseases. Paternal obesity is also significantly associated with offspring's mental disorders.

Summary: Increased adiposity is associated with higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks, with causal effect on CVD except for all-cause mortality and stroke. The majority of associations are supported by high-level evidence, and the results are consistent across sexes and global regions.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of olanzapine on metabolic parameters, and found that high-dose olanzapine treatment may lead to early weight gain, while low-dose treatment is associated with increases in blood lipids and blood pressure. Treatment duration and co-prescription of other medications were also found to be related to weight gain.

Summary: Based on systematic reviews and meta-analyses, this study found a strong association between postdiagnosis body fatness and higher all-cause mortality, breast cancer-specific mortality, and second primary breast cancer. Limited evidence suggests a relationship between body fatness and breast cancer recurrence and nonbreast cancer-related mortality. Limited-suggestive evidence indicates a lower risk of all-cause mortality and breast cancer-specific mortality with recreational physical activity. Data on dietary factors is limited. The study emphasizes the importance of lifestyle recommendations to avoid obesity and engage in physical activity for breast cancer patients.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses to examine the associations between physical activity and breast cancer prognosis. The results showed that moderate physical activity was associated with lower all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality, but had no significant effect on breast cancer recurrence. Furthermore, the study found that the benefits of physical activity plateaued after reaching a certain level.

Summary: Little is known about the impact of diet on breast cancer prognosis. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were conducted to summarize the evidence on postdiagnosis dietary factors and breast cancer outcomes from randomized controlled trials and observational studies. A total of 108 publications were identified, and the results generally showed limited or no significant associations between diet and breast cancer outcomes, except for some suggestive evidence related to dietary patterns, isoflavone intake, dietary fiber intake, and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.

Summary: This study examined the potential dose-response relationship between legume consumption and mortality rates in the general population. The results showed that higher legume intake was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause and stroke mortality, but there was no significant association with cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and cancer mortality.

Summary: This study found a good agreement between laboratory-based and non-laboratory-based versions of the WHO risk model. The non-laboratory-based model has acceptable sensitivity for practical risk assessment, especially in settings where resources are limited and laboratory tests are not accessible.

Summary: This study analyzed the mortality trends of rheumatic heart disease in high-income countries and found that there was a significant decrease in mortality rates in all countries except for Germany. The mortality rates had two peaks in younger and older age groups. The high mortality and unique trend in Germany require further investigation.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the association between body fatness and weight changes and overall mortality and BC-specific mortality among BC survivors. The results showed that excess body fatness is linked to poorer survival in women with BC, and substantial weight changes postdiagnosis may contribute to poorer survival.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis found that diabetes mellitus and prediabetes were associated with an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. This association was consistent across different geographic regions, sexes, and subgroups, and diabetes patients with complications had a higher risk. Further research is needed to investigate the role of age of onset, duration, complications, glycemic level, and management of diabetes in relation to Parkinson's disease risk.

Summary: Studies have shown a clear association between obesity and increased risk of adult asthma, as evidenced by the summary relative risks (RR) per increase in BMI, waist circumference, and weight gain. The findings indicate a dose-response relationship, highlighting the importance of addressing overweight and obesity to reduce asthma risk. These results provide strong evidence to support policies aimed at curbing the global epidemic of overweight and obesity.

Summary: This study compared mortality trends from aortic dissection and rupture in the UK, Japan, the USA, and Canada. The findings showed a decreasing trend in age-standardized mortality rates from aortic rupture in all four countries, but an increasing trend in mortality from aortic dissection in Japan, the USA, and Canada. Further research is needed to understand these trends.

Summary: The agreement and correlation between the WHO and Globorisk cardiovascular disease risk prediction models were assessed in this study. The results showed good agreement and strong positive correlation between the two models, but the Globorisk model had more individuals classified as high-risk. Therefore, adjustments may be needed in the risk grouping of these models to improve accuracy.

Summary: This cohort study investigated the longitudinal association of different diabetes and obesity phenotypes with the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. After a median follow-up of 11.25 years, it was found that diabesity phenotypes, defined by general or abdominal obesity, were associated with an increased risk of CVD events. However, there was no significant association between diabesity and death from CVD or all causes. This association was more pronounced among men than women.
