Obesity and Overweight: Probing Causes, Consequences, and Novel
Despite public health efforts, these disorders are on the rise, and their consequences are burgeoning. 1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that during 2017 to 2018, the prevalence of obesity in the United States was 42.4%, which was increased from the prevalence of 30.5% during 1999 to 2002. 2 Among those afflicted with ...
Frontiers
During 2001-2018, the age-adjusted prevalence of abdominal obesity increased from 57.58 to 67.33% in females and from 39.07 to 49.73% in males. Females and males showed a similar increasing trend in abdominal obesity, and the prevalence of abdominal obesity was consistently higher in females . The prevalence of abdominal obesity in males has ...
Prevention of Overweight and Obesity: How Effective is the Current
2.1. In Adults. Obesity can be defined as a condition of abnormal or excess fat accumulation in adipose tissue, to the extent that health may be impaired [].Body Mass Index (BMI), which is calculated as [(weight in kg) / (height in m) 2], is considered to be the most useful population-level measure of obesity, and it is a simple index to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults.
A systematic literature review on obesity ...
The present study conducted a systematic literature review to examine obesity research and machine learning techniques for the prevention and treatment of obesity from 2010 to 2020. ... including abdominal obesity, are related to increased risk of several chronic conditions and diseases, which include asthma, cancer, diabetes ...
Therapeutic Treatment for Abdominal Obesity in Adults
Abdominal obesity, an accumulation of fat in the abdominal region, is a risk factor for several non-communicable diseases. This review aims to identify non-surgical treatment options for abdominal obesity in adults. Interventions with behavioral, dietary, physical activity, or pharmaceutical components were compared to control conditions.
Obesity: Risk factors, complications, and strategies for sustainable
The obesity epidemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines overweight and obesity as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health (WHO, 2016a).A body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m 2 is generally considered overweight, while obesity is considered to be a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2.It is well known that obesity and overweight are a growing problem globally with high rates in ...
Abdominal obesity and digestive system cancer: a systematic review and
Background The diagnostic criteria for abdominal obesity are usually waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio. The magnitude of the risks for cancers of the digestive system and abdominal obesity is unknown. To assess whether abdominal obesity increases the risk of digestive cancer, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies in a database. Methods PubMed ...
Prevalence of abdominal obesity and associated risk factors among women
Background Abdominal obesity increases the risk of cardio-metabolic diseases, disability, and poor quality of life, as well as health-care costs. It is a component of the metabolic syndrome, along with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of abdominal obesity and associated risk factors among female civil servants in Addis Ababa ...
Association between socio-economic factors and the risk of overweight
Overweight and obesity were assessed by physical measurements of weight, height, and waist circumference. Multiple logistic models were used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the association. Overall, the prevalence rates of general obesity and abdominal obesity were 15.5% and 22.6%, respectively.
PDF Obesity in children and adolescents: epidemiology, causes, assessment
The prevalence of paediatric obesity16 has increased worldwide over the past five decades. From 1975 to 2016, the global age-standardised prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents aged 5-19 years increased from 0∙7% (95% credible interval [CrI] 0∙4-1∙2) to 5∙6% (4∙8-6∙5) for girls and from 0∙9% (0∙5-1∙3) to 7 ...
Prevalence, incidence, and trends of childhood overweight/obesity in
The growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NDC), particularly in low-and middle-income countries, poses a significant threat to global health. Obesity and overweight constitute major risk factors of NCDs such as heart diseases, diabetes, and kidney disease, and as a result, contribute significantly to the development of chronic morbidities, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of ...
Adult obesity complications: challenges and clinical impact
Adult obesity [body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m 2] was estimated to affect 10.8% of men (266 million) and 14.9% of women (375 million) worldwide in 2014. This has more than doubled when compared with worldwide figures in 1975 where 3.2% of men and 6.4% of women were obese. If this trend persists, by 2025, 18% of men and 21% of women will be obese ...
Adult obesity complications: challenges and clinical impact
Obesity, as defined by BMI (), is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, with CVD and malignancy being the most common causes of death. 5-8 A meta-analysis of 239 prospective studies involving 10.6 million individuals from Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and North America found that all-cause mortality was lowest between a BMI of 20-25 kg/m 2 but increased ...
Abdominal Obesity and the Risk of All-Cause, Cardiovascular, and Cancer
Although the definition of abdominal obesity remains in dispute, the cutoffs for WC (102 cm for men, 88 cm for women) and WHR (0.95 for men, 0.88 for women) were recommended by the American Heart Association and the US Department of Agriculture. ...

Approach to Obesity Treatment in Primary Care: A Review
Adjunctive treatments, including AOMs and surgical approaches, can lead to larger, more sustained weight loss and improvements in numerous obesity-associated medical conditions. Highly effective AOMs, including nutrient-stimulated hormone-based therapies, induce mean weight loss of 15% or more. Barriers to intervention, including access to care ...
Higher consumption of ultra‐processed foods is associated with obesity
It identified that 36.5% and 38.1% of the women had obesity and abdominal obesity, respectively, and that an average of 33.8% of calories consumed came from UPF. In the analysis of association guided by the DAG, it was observed that women with a high-calorie intake from UPF had a 1.3 times higher probability of being obese.

Obesity in adults: a clinical practice guideline
Obesity is a complex chronic disease in which abnormal or excess body fat (adiposity) impairs health, increases the risk of long-term medical complications and reduces lifespan. 1 Epidemiologic studies define obesity using the body mass index (BMI; weight/height 2), which can stratify obesity-related health risks at the population level.Obesity is operationally defined as a BMI exceeding 30 kg ...
A proposal for a primary screening tool: `Keep your waist circumference
Background There is now overwhelming scientific evidence that central obesity, as opposed to total obesity assessed by body mass index (BMI), is associated with the most health risks and that the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is a simple proxy for this central fat distribution. This Opinion reviews the evidence for the use of WHtR to predict mortality and for its association with morbidity. A ...
Obesity and Cancer: Existing and New Hypotheses for a Causal Connection
Existing explanations of obesity-associated cancer emphasise direct mutagenic effects of dietary components or hormonal imbalance. Some of these hypotheses are reviewed briefly, but recent evidence suggests a major role for chronic inflammation in cancer risk, possibly involving dietary content. These ideas include the inflammation-induced activation of the kynurenine pathway and its role in ...
