The Impact of Obesity on Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
14 100 LVAD patients across 21 studies were analyzed. Findings indicated that obese LVAD recipients had lower short‐term mortality and higher risk of infection, thrombosis and right heart failure. There was no difference in long‐term survival between obese and non‐obese patients.

The Association of Sarcopenic Obesity With Respiratory Function Outcomes in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sarcopenic obesity has been associated with various health conditions and mortality. Our objective was to systematically review and estimate the association between sarcopenic obesity and respiratory function outcomes. We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar for observational studies involving adults (≥ 18 years), defined sarcopenic ...

Sarcopenic obesity: etiology and lifestyle therapy.

European review for medical and pharmacological sciences, 2019
Sarcopenic obesity (OS) is a multifactorial condition characterized by the simultaneous presences of sarcopenia and obesity. The prevalence of OS is increasing in adults over 65 years of age; people with OS present greater health risks than people who are only sarcopenic or obese.
