Association Between Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota and Sarcopenic Obesity in Middle‐Aged and Elderly Population: The Mediation Role of Hepatic Steatosis Index

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Dietary index for gut microbiota (DI‐GM) is significantly inversely associated with the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity (SO) in the aging population, and hepatic steatosis index (HSI) partially mediates this association. Subgroup analysis demonstrated the robustness of this association across various subgroups.

Refining Osteoarthritis Risk Prediction: Average Sagittal Abdominal Diameter Complements and Enhances Body Mass Index With Sex‐Specific Insights From National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Health Care Science, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 128-140, April 2026.
Our findings support the integration of ASAD alongside BMI in OA risk assessment, particularly in female populations, to address limitations of BMI‐centric models. Implementing our proposed approach could enable refined, sex‐, and age‐targeted preventive interventions.

General and central obesities were associated with increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease: A large‐scale prospective cohort study

VIEW, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Prior evidence suggested inconsistent findings in terms of the relationship between obesity and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) occurrence. We demonstrated that both general and central obesities were associated with an increased risk of developing IBD, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease in a large‐scale prospective cohort.
