Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity-related cancer Risk and Survival: An Umbrella Review of Systematic Reviews With Meta-analysis of Observational Studies. [PDF]

Obes Rev
ABSTRACT Introduction Metabolic syndrome (MetS) may be associated with obesity‐related cancer (ORC) owing to shared risk factors like physical inactivity, insulin resistance, gut microbiome dysfunction, and inflammation. We conducted an umbrella review of systematic reviews with meta‐analysis to synthesize the evidence on the association between MetS ...

Change in body mass index and disease burden among people with obesity and multiple long-term conditions. [PDF]

Diabetes Obes Metab
Abstract Aims Obesity is a risk factor for multiple long‐term conditions (MLTCs/multimorbidity). However, the impact of weight loss in people with MLTCs is unclear. We investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) change and the development of obesity‐related complications (ORCs), as well as clinical and economic outcomes in individuals ...
