Objective: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is the most frequently diagnosed genetic cause of early childhood obesity. Individuals with PWS typically progress through 7 different nutritional phases during their lifetime. The main objective of this study was to assess potential factors, particularly insulin, that may be responsible for the weight gains in sub-phase 2a and their role in the subsequent increase in fat mass and obesity in sub-phase 2b and insatiable appetite in phase 3.
Methods: Fasting plasma insulin levels were measured in children with PWS between the ages of 0-12 years and in age-matched non-PWS participants with early-onset major (clinically severe) obesity (EMO) and in healthy-weight sibling controls (SC).
Results: Participants with PWS in nutritional phases 1a and 1b had plasma insulin levels comparable to SC. However, the transition from phase 1b up to phase 3 in the PWS group was accompanied by significant increases in insulin, coinciding in weight gains, obesity, and hyperphagia. Only individuals with PWS in phase 3 had comparable insulin levels to the EMO group who were higher than the SC group at any age.
Conclusions: Elevated insulin signaling is a probable trigger for weight gain and onset of hyperphagia in children with Prader-Willi syndrome. Regulating insulin levels early in childhood before the onset of the early weight gain may be key in modulating the onset and severity of obesity and hyperphagia in individuals with PWS, as well as in other young children with non-PWS early-onset obesity. Preventing or reversing elevated insulin levels in PWS with pharmacological agents and/or through diet restrictions such as a combined low carbohydrate, low glycemic-load diet may be a viable therapeutic strategy in combating obesity in children with PWS and others with early childhood obesity.

Objective: Rare genetic diseases of obesity typically present with hyperphagia, a pathologic desire to consume food. Cost-utility models assessing the value of treatments for these rare diseases will require health state utilities representing hyperphagia. This study estimated utilities associated with various hyperphagia severity levels.
Methods: Four health state vignettes were developed using published literature and clinician input to represent various severity levels of hyperphagia. Utilities were estimated for these health states in a time trade-off elicitation study in a UK general population sample.
Results: In total, 215 participants completed interviews (39.5% male; mean age 39.1 years). Mean (SD) utilities were 0.98 (0.02) for no hyperphagia, 0.91 (0.10) for mild hyperphagia, 0.70 (0.30) for moderate hyperphagia, and 0.22 (0.59) for severe hyperphagia. Mean (SD) disutilities were -0.08 (0.10) for mild, -0.28 (0.30) for moderate, and -0.77 (0.58) for severe hyperphagia.
Conclusions: These data show increasing severity of hyperphagia is associated with decreased utility. Utilities associated with severe hyperphagia are similar to those of other health conditions severely impacting quality of life (QoL). These findings highlight that treatments addressing substantial QoL impacts of severe hyperphagia are needed. Utilities estimated here may be useful in cost-utility models of treatments for rare genetic diseases of obesity.

The four-tiered NOVA food classification defines foods based on their degree of processing and ranges from native unprocessed foods to so-called "ultra-processed" foods. Recent publications have suggested that foods classified as ultra-processed are unhealthy and contribute to the obesity epidemic. It is important to distinguish between formulation and processing of a food. In most cases it is the formulation more than the processing that results in foods that are not recommended as part of a healthy diet. Such "ultra-formulated" foods are unhealthy because they are high in added sugar and other caloric sweeteners, refined flours saturated fats and salt to increase palatability. The understanding that processing and formulation are distinct will assist health professionals in identifying the types of foods that are unhealthy and contribute to overconsumption and obesity. It furthermore will help to destigmatize food technology and promote discussions amongst health professionals, food scientists, corporate scientists, government officials and the general public. Novel food processing techniques are urgently needed in times of population growth, climate change and war-induced food shortages.

Background and aims: Anthocyanins (ACNs) are water-soluble plant pigments belong to flavonoids with beneficial effects on health and disease prevention. Some studies have examined the effect of ACNs on anthropometric and body composition indices, but the findings were inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effect of ACNs and sources rich in anthocyanins on body mass index (BMI), body weight (BW), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), percentage of fat mass (PFM) and fat free mass (FFM).
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched with no limitation until May 2021 to find relevant randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT). The risk of bias was assessed utilizing Cochrane collaboration's tool. Weighted mean differences (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained using a random effects model.
Results: A total of 31 RCTs (with 0.77-640 mg/day of ACNs supplementation for 28-90 days) with 1438 participants were included. No significant effect was found in BMI, WC, HC, WHR, PFM and FFM after ACNs consumption.
Conclusions: The results showed that ACNs did not significantly affect anthropometric and body composition parameters. Further high-quality RCTs are required to validate these findings.

Purpose: Obesity may alter the severity of infection with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Age may impact the association between body weight and severity of COVID-19 in patients with obesity. The aim of the study was to examine the association between obesity and severity of infection in a Danish cohort hospitalized with COVID-19 in the initial wave of the pandemic.
Patients and methods: Based on data from the nationwide, clinical database: COVID-DK, risks of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and mortality were compared among patients with and without obesity. Interaction with age was examined and we used Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting regression for confounder adjustment.
Results: Among 524 patients, 142 (27%) were admitted to the ICU, 112 (21%) required IMV, and 109 (21%) died. Compared to COVID-19 patients without obesity, patients with obesity displayed a non-significant increased risk of ICU admission (Relative Risk [RR] 1.19, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.88; 1.60), IMV (RR 1.23, CI 0.86; 1.75) and mortality (RR 1.21, CI 0.84; 1.75). COVID-19 patients with obesity, <60 years had highly increased risk of ICU admission (RR 1.92, CI 1.14; 3.24) and IMV (RR 1.95, CI 1.09; 3.49).
Conclusions: In hospitalized COVID-19 patients, obesity conferred an approximately 20% increased risk for ICU admission, IMV, and death, although these relationships did not reach statistical significance. COVID-19 patients with obesity and <60 years had an almost doubled risk of ICU admission and IMV.

Introduction: Many adults with overweight or obesity experience subclinical symptoms of depression, but little is known about how such symptoms are associated with physical activity (PA) or the experience of PA during behavioral weight loss (BWL) treatment.
Methods: In the current study, adults recruited from the community (N = 320) received 18 months of group-based BWL treatment and wore accelerometers at months 0, 6, and 18 to objectively measure PA. Participants with a mood disorder that was not well controlled were not eligible for the study and were referred for individual treatment. Depressive symptoms, PA barriers, discomfort avoidance, and self-control were self-reported with validated measures.
Results: At baseline, the majority of participants indicated some depressive symptoms, mostly at subclinical levels. Results of multilevel models suggest that depressive symptoms were not significantly associated with concurrent measures of PA engagement (minutes/week) or sedentary behavior (minutes/week) at a given time point (i.e., baseline, 6 months, or 18 months). Results of cross-level interactions suggest that baseline depressive symptoms did not moderate the change in PA or sedentary behavior across time. Concurrent depressive symptoms and PA barriers were significantly and positively associated at a given time point (i.e., baseline, 6 months, or 18 months); however, baseline depressive symptoms did not moderate the improvement in perceived PA barriers across time. At baseline, higher discomfort avoidance and lower self-control each independently and partially mediated the relationship between depressive symptoms and PA barriers.
Conclusion: Results suggest that, among BWL samples in which most participants do not have clinically significant depressive symptoms, the likelihood of adopting and sustaining PA does not depend on the extent of depressive symptoms, but those with elevated symptoms may benefit from approaches that address their perception that engaging in PA is especially challenging.
导言:许多超重或肥胖的成年人都会出现亚临床抑郁症状,但这些症状与体育锻炼(PA)或行为减肥(BWL)治疗期间的PA体验之间的关系却鲜为人知:在本研究中,从社区招募的成年人(N = 320)接受了为期 18 个月的集体行为减肥治疗,并在第 0、6 和 18 个月佩戴加速计来客观测量运动量。情绪障碍未得到很好控制的参与者没有资格参加本研究,他们将被转介接受个人治疗。抑郁症状、运动障碍、避免不适感和自我控制能力均通过有效的测量方法进行自我报告:结果:在基线时,大多数参与者都有一些抑郁症状,而且大多处于亚临床水平。多层次模型的结果表明,抑郁症状与特定时间点(即基线、6 个月或 18 个月)的活动参与度(分钟/周)或久坐行为(分钟/周)并无明显关联。跨水平交互作用的结果表明,基线抑郁症状并不影响不同时间段内的体育锻炼或久坐行为的变化。在特定时间点(即基线、6 个月或 18 个月),并发抑郁症状与 PA 障碍显著正相关;然而,基线抑郁症状并不影响不同时间段内感知到的 PA 障碍的改善。在基线时,较高的不适回避和较低的自我控制能力分别独立地、部分地调解了抑郁症状与PA障碍之间的关系:结果表明,在大多数参与者没有明显临床抑郁症状的白领样本中,采用和坚持体育锻炼的可能性并不取决于抑郁症状的程度,但症状加重的人可能会从解决他们认为参与体育锻炼特别具有挑战性的方法中获益。

Background: Factors of metabolic syndrome such as obesity are well-known risk factors for gallstone disease (GSD). There are different indicators of obesity, including weight, body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio. The predictive ability of different obesity indicators for GSD remains unclear.
Objective: To explore the most efficient predictor of GSD among the different anthropometric indicators of obesity.
Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study included 2263 participants who completed a questionnaire detailing their demographics, medical history, and lifestyle between 2014 and 2017 in Taiwan. Blood samples were collected and physical examinations, including anthropometric measurements, were performed. Gallstone disease was ascertained using ultrasonography. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for GSD.
Results: The overall prevalence of GSD was 8.8%. According to the multivariate analysis, individuals with a waist-to-height ratio ≥0.5 (odds ratio|odds ratios (OR) = 1.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.10-2.48, p = 0.017) had an increased risk of GSD. Diabetes was the main risk factor for GSD in men (OR = 2.06, 95% CI = 1.17-3.65, p = 0.013). Among women, waist-to-height ratio >0.5 (OR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.03-3.02, p = 0.040) and current hormone drug use (OR = 2.73, 95% CI = 1.09-6.84, p = 0.033) were significant risk factors for gallstones.
Conclusion: GSD was independently associated with central obesity and exogenous hormone intake in women. Among the anthropometric indicators used to assess central obesity, waist-to-height ratio was the most accurate predictor of GSD.

Background: In the UK, bariatric surgical patients are followed up for 2 years post-operatively in hospital settings, before being discharged into General Practice for long-term follow-up. Presently, there is ambiguous guidance as to what should be included in a community-based bariatric surgical follow-up service. The aim of the study was to understand, from both patient and professional perspectives, what is needed to support the long-term management of bariatric surgical patients in community-based settings.
Methods: Post-surgical bariatric patients and General Practice staff were recruited from an area in the UK which has an National Health Service (NHS) hospital providing a high-volume and established bariatric surgical service. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. A thematic analytic framework was used to construct eight themes which illuminated the participants' experiences. The study took place between March and December 2021.
Findings: Thirty participants (14 patients and 16 healthcare professionals) were recruited to the study. The study revealed the lack of a framework for delivery of a long-term follow up service was frustrating to both patients and professionals. Patient participants reported needing more support, especially dietetic and psychological input, and professionals stated they had little knowledge about bariatric surgical care, and what was needed to provide optimal care, but wanted to provide quality patient care.
Conclusion: Long-term follow up of bariatric surgical patients is an important issue which needs addressing. This study illuminates both the patient and professional perspectives on developing a pragmatic, community-based service which meets the needs of patients and considers the need to incorporate such a service into existing infrastructures without adding additional demands on General Practice.
