PurposeA previous meta-analysis (MA) published in 2009 reported that excess body weight was associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer in non-Asians, but not in Asians. The aim was to conduct a meta-epidemiological MA (MEMA) to evaluate association between excess body weight and the risk of gastric cancer in Asian adults with using the proposed classification of weight by body mass index (BMI) in Asian adults.Materials and MethodsThe selection criteria were population-based prospective cohort studies that measured BMI of cohort participants and evaluated a risk of gastric cancer. Overweight group (OW) and obesity group (OB) were defined as 23.0-24.9 and ≥ 25.0, respectively. A group only showing results for BMI over 23.0 was defined as overweight and obesity group (OWB). Random effect model was applied if I<sup>2</sup> value was over 50%.ResultsAfter four new studies were added through citation discovery tools, seven cohort studies with 21 datasets were selected finally for MEMA. The I<sup>2</sup> value of OW, OB, and OWB were 76.1%, 83.5%, and 97.1%, respectively. Only OWB in men had a I<sup>2</sup> value below 50% (22.5%) and showed a statistical significance with inverse association (summary relative risk, 0.79; 95% confidence interval, 0.77 to 0.81).ConclusionThis MEMA supported the hypothesis that OW might be a protective factor in gastric cancer risk in Asian adults. It will be necessary to conduct additional cohort studies with lengthening follow-up periods and re-analyzing the effect of overweight and obesity classified by the Asian criteria.

Abstract Young adulthood is a crucial period for major physiological transitions. Environmental changes associated with these transitions can influence health behaviour and health (e.g., poor diet, high body weight and elevated blood pressure (EBP)). Excess body weight can lead to EBP; however, little is known about this relationship among young adults in developing countries. Focusing on Bangladesh, this study assessed the association between body mass index (BMI) and BP metrics (systolic BP [SBP], diastolic BP [DBP], and BP class [optimal, normal/high normal, and elevated]). Sex-specific analyses of these relationships were performed to assess any difference across sexes. Furthermore, associations of overweight/obesity with BP metrics were investigated. Young adults aged 18-24 years (n 2181) were included from nationally representative cross-sectional Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18. Multivariable linear and multinomial logistic regression models examined the relationships between BMI, overweight/obesity, and BP metrics. Findings reveal that higher BMI was associated with higher SBP (0.83; 95% CI 0.67, 0.99), DBP (0.66; 95% CI 0.54, 0.74), and higher odds of having EBP (adjusted odds ratio 1.24; 95% CI 1.17, 1.31). These relationships were stronger among males than females. Moreover, overweight/obese individuals had higher SBP, DBP, and higher odds of having EBP than individuals with normal BMI. Strategies to reduce body weight, improve healthy lifestyle, and awareness and monitoring of BP may help to address these serious health problems, particularly at an early age.

Recently, the International Federation of Obesity Surgery (IFSO) has recognized gastric bypass surgery as one of the major bariatric / metabolic surgeries. However, the issue of nutritional deficiency after mini-shunting, which leads to repeated surgical interventions for deficient states, remains debatable. Efforts to balance the loss of excess body weight, compensation for concomitant metabolic disorders and nutritional insufficiency make the issue of the “ideal” length of the biopancreatic loop relevant. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to compare the bariatric and metabolic effects of mini-shunting of the stomach depending on the length of the biliary pancreatic loop. The study included 42 patients (24 women (57.1%) and 18 men (42.9%)), aged 24 to 65 years, with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 kg / m2 and above, with a mini-gastric bypass with minimally invasive access. The operation consisted of forming a long gastric reservoir along the small curvature of the stomach with the imposition of a semi-manual anastomosis with a loop of the small intestine 200–250 cm from the ligament of the Trinity. The length of the biopancreatic loop was selected according to the body mass index (200 cm — <45 kg / m2 (23 patients), 250+ cm — ˃45 kg / m2 (15 patients)) and the nature of the concomitant metabolic disorders. Anthropometric, laboratory and instrumental research methods were used. The level of HbA1c and the level of triglycerides were determined. The results were evaluated at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after surgery. Statistical processing of data was performed using StatPlus 6 Profesional. Postoperative complications were diagnosed in 3 (7.2%) patients. An early complication of Twisted pouch, which required repeated surgery, was observed in 1 (2.4%) patient. Late complications (peptic ulcer of gastroenteroanastomosis and insufficient weight loss) were found in 2 (4.8%) patients. The average percentage of excess body weight loss in the 200 cm and 250 cm group was 70.1 ± 0.8% and 71.8 ± 0.6% (p>0.05), respectively; type 2 diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in 5 (83.3%) and 7 (87.5%) patients, respectively; dyslipidemia compensation was achieved in 3 (50%) and 5 (71.4%) patients, respectively; hypocalcaemia was detected in 1 (12.5%) and 3 (27.3%) patients, respectively; decreased levels of iron were diagnosed in 1 (12.5%) and 2 (18.2%) patients, respectively. Thus, the results obtained indicate that as the length of the loop increases, the metabolic effect increases, but the risk of electrolyte exchange disorders may increase.

Background Several authors have indicated that excess body weight can modify the electromyographic (EMG) amplitude due to the accumulation of subcutaneous fat. This accumulation of adipose tissue around the muscle would affect the metabolic capacity during functional activities. On the other hand, some authors have not observed differences in the myoelectric manifestations of fatigue between normal weight and obese people. Furthermore, these manifestations have not been investigated regarding EMG onset latency, which indicates a pattern of muscle activation between different muscles. The objective of this study was to determine whether an increase in body weight, skinfolds, and muscle fatigue modify the trapezius and serratus anterior (SA) onset latencies and to determine the scapular muscle recruitment order in fatigue and excess body weight conditions. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out in a university laboratory. The participants were randomly assigned to the no-fatigue group (17 participants) or the fatigue (17 participants) group. The body mass index, skinfold thickness (axillary, pectoral, and subscapular), and percentage of body fat were measured. In addition, the onset latency of the scapular muscles [lower trapezius (LT), middle trapezius (MT), upper trapezius (UT), and SA] was assessed by surface EMG during the performance of a voluntary arm raise task. A multiple linear regression model was adjusted and analyzed for the additive combination of the variables, percentage body fat, skinfold thickness, and fatigue. The differences in onset latency between the scapular muscles were analyzed using a three-way repeated measure analysis of variance. In all the tests, an alpha level <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results For the MT, LT, and SA onset latencies, the body mass index was associated with a delayed onset latency when it was adjusted for the additive combination of percentage of body fat, skinfold thickness, and fatigue. Of these adjustment factors, the subscapular skinfold thickness (R2 = 0.51; β = 10.7; p = 0.001) and fatigue (R2 = 0.86; β = 95.4; p = 0.001) primarily contributed to the increase in SA onset latency. A significant muscle ×body mass index ×fatigue interaction (F = 4.182; p = 0.008) was observed. In the fatigue/excess body weight condition, the UT was activated significantly earlier than the other three scapular muscles (p < 0.001) and SA activation was significantly delayed compared to LT (p < 0.001). Discussion Excess body weight, adjusted for skinfold thickness (axillary and subscapular) and fatigue, increases the onset latency of the MT, LT, and SA muscles and modifies the recruitment order of scapular muscles. In fact, the scapular stabilizing muscles (MT, LT, and SA) increase their onset latency in comparison to the UT muscle. These results were not observed when excess body weight was considered as an individual variable or when adjusted by the percentage body fat.

SummaryThe objective of the present analysis was to study the associations between body weight psychosocial correlates and body mass index (BMI) among four groups of adults in the Quebec population. Data were taken from the Social Lifestyles and Health 1998 Survey performed by the Institut de la Statistique du Québec (ISQ). The suggested guidelines of the ISQ were used to estimate the population's proportions and for statistical analysis. The groups studied were 25- to 44- and the 45- to 64-year-old men and women. In all groups, currently trying to lose weight increased the odds of reporting an excess weight. Better perceived eating habits was associated with lower BMI in most groups except in the 25- to 44-year-old women, where the trend was not significant. Higher number of physical activities related to transport and cigarette smoking were associated with lower BMI in both men groups. In both women groups, more frequent consumption of alcoholic beverages decreased significantly the odds of reporting excess body weight. A university degree was associated with a lower BMI only in the 25- to 44-year-old men. Regular practise of leisure time physical activity was associated with a lower BMI only in 45- to 64-year-old women. Opposite associations were observed between perceived health and BMI. In the 45- to 64-year-old men, better perceived health increased the odds of reporting an excess weight. Conversely, the odds of reporting excess weight decreased with better health in 25- to 44-year-old women. Many correlates differ between age group and sex. The identification of these factors illustrates the need to adapt obesity-related programmes toward specific sub-groups within the general population.

The purpose of the work is to study the features of the body mass index (BMI) in schizophrenia patients (SP) who live in Chuvashia. Material and methods. 607 SP were examined (307 men and 300 women) aged 18 to 82 (average - 44.51 ± 12.3 years). The diagnosis of schizophrenia met the criteria for ICD-10 (F20-29); disease duration ranged from 0 to 52 years (mean - 18.9 ± 10.7 years). BMI was taken into account according to the Ketle index. For each SP, a survey card with clinical, therapeutic, and socio-demographic indices was filled out. The comparison group included a sample of 3417 residents of Chuvashia. Mathematical and statistical processing was carried out using descriptive statistics and χ2 distribution. Results. 9.2% of SP had underweight, 54.2% - normal body weight, 36.6% - excess body weight and obesity. Among women there were significantly more persons with increased BMI and obesity, among men - with normal BMI. In SP, BMI did not depend on the group of taken antipsychotics (typical, atypical, mixed-use) and the disease’s duration. With patients’ age, BMI increased to excess BMI (25-29.9 kg/m2). Among SP, persons with underweight were much more common (among healthy people, 2% vs 9.2% in SP). From 40 years of age and older, among the healthy population, persons with an increased BMI and obesity begin to predominate significantly compared with the SP group. Observations of BMI during inpatient treatment from 1.5 to 22 months showed multidirectional dynamics, including increased body weight in 42.2% of SP, a decrease in 30.1%, without changes in BMI in 27.7%; it was not possible to retrospectively identify any patterns of BMI fluctuations. Conclusion. The revealed paradoxes of BMI for SP in Chuvashia, especially a high proportion of SP with underweight, require refinement considering ethnic, genetic, sex and age, hormon and metabolic factors.
