Brain and Cardiometabolic Effects of Major Weight Loss in People With Obesity: Preliminary Cohort Findings

Obesity Science &Practice, Volume 12, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Given the overlap between obesity‐related metabolic and vascular abnormalities and Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk factors, it is critical to determine whether weight loss improves brain and cardiovascular health. This study examined whether ≥ 40% excess‐weight loss is associated with improvements in cardiometabolic risk, brain ...

Age‐ and Sex‐Specific Optimal Cutoffs for Obesity Indices for Early Detection of Metabolic Syndrome Risk in Taiwanese Adults

Clinical Obesity, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Age‐ and sex‐specific obesity index cutoffs may improve the early identification of individuals at risk for metabolic syndrome. This study determined optimal cutoff points for body mass index (BMI), triglyceride glucose index (TyGI) and Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) to predict MetS risk in Taiwanese adults.
