Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and adults

Leandra Abarca-Gómez, +1024 more
- 16 Dec 2017 - 
TL;DR: Trends in mean BMI have recently flattened in northwestern Europe and the high-income English-speaking and Asia-Pacific regions for both sexes, southwestern Europe for boys, and central and Andean Latin America for girls, and by contrast, the rise in BMI has accelerated in east and south Asia forboth sexes, and southeast Asia for boys.
Journal ArticleDOI

Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-based studies with 4.4 million participants

Bin Zhou, +497 more
- 09 Apr 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in diabetes prevalence, defined as fasting plasma glucose of 7.0 mmol/L or higher, or history of diagnosis with diabetes, or use of insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs in 200 countries and territories in 21 regions, by sex and from 1980 to 2014.

Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology

Adam E. Locke, +481 more
TL;DR: This paper conducted a genome-wide association study and meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and refinement of loci associated with lipid levels

Cristen J. Willer, +319 more
- 06 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is found that loci associated with blood lipid levels are often associated with cardiovascular and metabolic traits, including coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, blood pressure, waist-hip ratio and body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale association analysis provides insights into the genetic architecture and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes

Andrew P. Morris, +232 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of genetic variants on the Metabochip, including 34,840 cases and 114,981 controls, overwhelmingly of European descent, and identified ten previously unreported T2D susceptibility loci, including two showing sex-differentiated association.
