Countries in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar, have also seen substantial increases in obesity rates. For instance, Kuwait’s obesity rate is now around 41%, and Qatar’s is approximately 43%, higher than the US. These increases are attributed to lifestyle changes,...
Excess body weight is an established cause of cancer, currently known to be linked to 13 cancers. While differences in excess body weight among states in the United States are well-known, there is little information on the burden of obesity-related cancers by state, information that would be ...
Metabolic syndrome refers to the co-occurrence of cardiovascular risk factors, including insulin resistance, obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, and identifies patients who are at high risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes [1]. Meta-analyses have reported that...
In addition, the incorporation of gene-gene interactions in the statistical model provides further insight into the genetic factors that underlie body composition traits. We used Bayesian model selection to comprehensively map main, epistatic and sex-specific QTL in an F2 reciprocal intercross between ...
use, obesity-related traits, responses to mental and physical stress, and heart rate and blood pressure measurements reveals shared genes that are overrepresented in the neural synapse This article has been corrected since advance Online Publication, and a corrigendum is also printed in this issue. ...
Updated overview on the interplay between obesity and COVID-19 Mini Review Challenges and opportunities for integrating genetic testing into a diagnostic workflow: heritable long QT syndrome as a model Opinion Papers Making sense of rapid antigen testing in severe acute respiratory syn...
Links between substance use habits, obesity, stress and the related cardiovascular outcomes can be, in part, because of loci with pleiotropic effects. To investigate this hypothesis, we performed genome-wide mapping in 119 multigenerational families from
The importance of obesity and diabetes highlighted in our score is especially striking given the rise in obesity and diabetes across low to middle-income populations in Asia with increasing globalization [8, 10]. Previous prediction scores for incident CKD were derived using the modification of diet...

The uCrCl was re-measured in all patients, and showed normal results in all but 1 patient. None of these events precluded the administration of cisplatin at the planned date, and no subsequent cases of acute nephrotoxicity occurred. Overall agreement between uCrCl and eGFR was low, with ...
