TL;DR: The results provide further evidence that severe obesity is a crippling condition and the average poor mental well-being was worst than in chronically ill or injured patients, such as rheumatoid, cancer survivors and spinal cord injured persons.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the selection of a strictly representative sample, together with careful uniformity of performance and high participation rate, will make it possible to draw valid conclusions about the total population of middle-aged women in Gothenburg.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 24-year follow-up of body mass index and cerebral atrophy
TL;DR: Overweight and obesity throughout adult life may contribute to the development of temporal atrophy in women, particularly in middle-aged women.
Journal Article
Swedish obese subjects (SOS). Recruitment for an intervention study and a selected description of the obese state.
Lars Sjöström,B Larsson,Lars Bäckman,Calle Bengtsson,Claude Bouchard,Sven Dahlgren,P Hallgren,Egon Jonsson,Jan Karlsson,Leif Lapidus +9 more
TL;DR: Comparison of measurements with self-reported prevalence estimates revealed a considerable amount of previously undiagnosed hypertension and diabetes in the obese subjects, suggesting that the excess health risks associated with obesity may not be fully appreciated.
Journal Article
Adiposity and adipose tissue distribution in relation to incidence of diabetes in women: results from a prospective population study in Gothenburg, Sweden.
TL;DR: Body mass index, sum of two skinfolds and waist-to-hip circumference ratio were significantly associated with incidence of diabetes and the distribution of fat to the abdominal region as well as the total amount of fat seem to be important risk factors for diabetes.
