A 12-year follow-up study of treated obese children in Japan.
TL;DR: Severely obese children have a higher risk of becoming obese adults even when they received obesity treatment in childhood, and many cases of childhood obesity can be corrected with obesity treatment, which in turn can decrease the risk for adult chronic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: NW males with elevated adiposity had higher prevalence of risk factors than NW males with less adiposity and the prevalence in the former was rather similar to that seen in OW males, while measures of adiposity added little additional information to the BMI classification of NW on CVD risk factors in females.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between abdominal fat and risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among normal-weight (NW) white subjects and to determine how these relationships differ by sex was investigated.
SHORT COMMUNICATION Sex differences in the relationships of abdominal fat to cardiovascular disease risk among normal-weight white subjects
TL;DR: Only in NW female adults, abdominal visceral fat (AVF) area assessed by computed tomography was significantly correlated with all risk factors, except for fasting glucose, even after age, study cohort, and fat mass were taken into account.
