Overweight is the scourge of modern society and a major risk factor for many diseases. For this reason, understanding the genetic component predisposing to high body mass index (BMI) seems to be an important task along with preventive measures aimed at improving eating behavior and increasing physical activity.

Objectives
Due to the economic growth at the end of the 20th century, people in low-income countries live longer but still spend most of their income on food. These countries, as well as affluent countries, demonstrate a rising prevalence of obesity. The interplay of longevity and obesity at different levels of economic development is not clear.

This article presents the assessment of gross domestic product (GDP) losses in Russia resulting from mortality attributable to overweight-related diseases. The study is performed on multiple data sources, including overweight-related mortality rates, demographic indicators and labour market characteristics, i.e., employment structure, total mortality and population size subject to age and gender, and also Russia’s GDP ...

This paper investigates the influence of Body-Mass-Index (BMI) on the earnings of men and women. The aim is to identify weight — wage discrimination in the Russian labour market, which results in overweight and obese people earning significantly less than normal weight workers. The study is conducted using a panel dataset from the Russian Longitudinal ...

Background: One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) represents a novel less invasive bariatric surgery technique which can significantly improve systemic metabolism and adipose tissue health in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Previously, we demonstrated that T2DM impairs proliferation and differentiation of adipose tissue progenitors. Methods: Obese patients with T2DM (N=10) underwent clinical examination and subcutaneous fat biopsy during bariatric ...

Background
Overweight and obesity is a global epidemic. Forecasting future trajectories of the epidemic is crucial for providing an evidence base for policy change. In this study, we examine the historical trends of the global, regional, and national prevalence of adult overweight and obesity from 1990 to 2021 and forecast the future trajectories to 2050.
Methods
Leveraging established ...

Background
Despite the well documented consequences of obesity during childhood and adolescence and future risks of excess body mass on non-communicable diseases in adulthood, coordinated global action on excess body mass in early life is still insufficient. Inconsistent measurement and reporting are a barrier to specific targets, resource allocation, and interventions. In this Article we report ...

Lactase persistence—the ability to digest lactose through adulthood—is closely related to evolutionary adaptations and has affected many populations since the beginning of cattle breeding. Nevertheless, the contrast initial phenotype, lactase non-persistence or adult lactase deficiency, is still observed in large numbers of people worldwide. ...

Polygenic risk score (PRS) prediction is widely used to assess the risk of diagnosis and progression of many diseases. Routinely, the weights of individual SNPs are estimated by the linear regression model that assumes independent and linear contribution of each SNP to the phenotype. However, for complex multifactorial diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, cardiovascular ...

Background: Combined non-viral gene therapy (GT) of ischemia and cardiovascular disease is a promising tool for potential clinical translation. In previous studies our group has developed combined gene therapy by vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (VEGF165) + hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Our recent works have demonstrated that a bicistronic pDNA that carries both human HGF and VEGF165 coding sequences ...

Relevance. Alcohol consumption is detrimental to the Russian population health and contributes significantly to mortality. The aim of the study is to determine the associations between alcohol consumption and mortality by cause of death in Russia.
Data and methods. Data from the Russian Fertility and Mortality Database (RusFMD) were used. Correlation analysis of time series was used to ...

Understanding the health consequences associated with exposure to risk factors is necessary to inform public health policy and practice. To systematically quantify the contributions of risk factor exposures to specific health outcomes, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 aims to provide comprehensive estimates of exposure levels, relative health risks, ...

Based on data from the 2021 Sample Population Health Survey, the paper assesses the prevalence and socio-demographic and behavioral risk factors of pre-obesity and obesity among the adult population of Russia. A standard approach for epidemiological studies was used: body weight was assessed using the Body Mass Index (BMI). The influence of risk factors was ...

Dual inhibitors of protein phosphotyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B)/T-cell protein phosphotyrosine phosphatase (TC-PTP) based on the 3-(hydroxymethyl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydrocinnoline scaffold have been identified. Their dual affinity to both enzymes has been thoroughly corroborated by in silico modeling experiments. The compounds have been profiled in vivo for their effects on body weight and food intake in obese rats. Likewise, ...

Since at least the 1960s, midlife mortality has determined the main trends in life expectancy at birth in Russia, which has rightly attracted the attention of demographers and other public health specialists. The "silent" anti-alcohol campaign of 2005 and the general rise in living standards led to a significant reduction in midlife mortality in 2005-2019, ...

This article details two existing perspectives on traumatic stress: vulnerability and resilience. Traditionally, the issue has been considered in the narrow psychopathological context of risk factors and vulnerability, despite evidence indicating that most people exposed to potentially traumatic events will remain mentally healthy and continue to lead fulfilling lives, following a trajectory of resilience.

Obstetrician-gynecologist, as well as doctor of any other specialty, is a psychologist to some extent. At the same time obstetrician-gynecologist often meets female patients suffering from obesity: pregnant women with alimentary-constitutional obesity, gynecologic patients of reproductive age with infertility and visceral obesity development (polycystic ovary syndrome), menopausal age patients with metabolic syndrome. Often these patients have eating disorders. Therefore, knowledge of the cognitive and brain mechanisms of overeating behavior in obese women is of great ...

Background: Work settings play an important role in explaining a certain level of injuries or the prevalence of disorders among workers. Safety science theories attempt to identify predisposing determinants of occupational disorders to explain why certain occupational conditions impair employee health. At the same time, theoretical studies rarely explain what particular risk factors (that is, ...

We consider a variety of cryptocurrency and equity risk factors as potential forces that drive cryptocurrency returns and carry risk premiums. In a cross-section of 2,000 biggest cryptocurrencies during 2014-2020, only downside market risk, cryptocurrency size and policy uncertainty factors are systematically priced with significant premiums. Cryptocurrencies, which have greater exposures to these factors, yield ...
