obesity is known to increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases. serum levels of cellular adhesion molecules are reported to be indices of arthrosclerosis. so each intervention that has benefit effects on them is very important for general health. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of high interval intensity training programs on icam-1. 18 sedentary obese males with mean ±s...

INTRODUCTION A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the familial and socio-environmental predictors of overweight and obesity among 1430, 9-12 year-old primary school children and their parents in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. METHODOLOGY Body weight and height were measured and body mass index was calculated. Modified Child Feeding (CFQ) and Determinants of Adolescent Social Well-be...

BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass performed laparoscopically remains the gold standard in bariatric surgery. The role of robot-assisted laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has not been clearly defined. METHODS We present 80 consecutive cases of robot-assisted laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass performed at a single institution. Mechanics, early outcomes, and learning curve are evaluate...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity. The additional benefit of placing a nonadjustable band around the pouch remains to be determined. The objective of this study was to compare outcomes between banded and nonbanded LRYGB patients in a single bariatric center. METHODS A matched cohort analysis was performed between patien...

BACKGROUND The high prevalence of obesity has called attention to the near-intractable problem of sustained weight reduction and its underlying mechanisms. With diet-induced weight loss, achieved body weight is closely related to initial body weight. OBJECTIVE The objective was to compare the relation between initial and achieved body mass index (BMI) in patients treated with diet-induced wei...

BACKGROUND A moderate association exists between body mass index (BMI) and colorectal cancer. Less is known about the effect of weight change. OBJECTIVE We investigated the relation between BMI and weight change and subsequent colon and rectal cancer risk. DESIGN This was studied among 328,781 participants in the prospective European Prospective Investigation into Cancer-Physical Activity, ...

BACKGROUND Few large epidemiologic studies have investigated the role of postweaning protein intake in excess weight and adiposity of young children, despite children in the United Kingdom consistently consuming protein in excess of their physiologic requirements. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether a higher proportion of protein intake from energy beyond weaning is associated with greater weig...
