A study involving people with diabetes has shown that belly size is a stronger predictor of a dangerous kind of heart disease than body mass index, researchers said Saturday. The study released at the American College of Cardiology conference in Chicago was based on 200 people with diabetes who had not shown any symptoms of heart disease. “We specifically found that waist circumference appears to be a stronger predictor for left ventricle dysfunction than total body weight or body mass index,” said principal investigator Boaz Rosen, a doctor at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.
Compared with Homo sapiens, Neanderthals had a wider rib cage and pelvis. Now, new research suggests this may be because they had to adapt to a high-protein diet.
By Kathryn Doyle (Reuters Health) – Women who were overweight as adolescents are more likely than others to have symptoms of depression at age 65, especially if they were raised in low-income families, according to a new study. “The most surprising result may be the difference in the relationship between adolescent overweight and later life depressive symptoms by gender,” said lead author Melissa L. Martinson of the University of Washington in Seattle. Using high school yearbook photos, the researchers sorted the students into four groups: underweight, normal weight, at risk for overweight and overweight.

In the last 40 years, the average human has gained the equivalent of 1.5 kg per decade, although low weight remains a major public health concern in poorer regions.
More than 640 million people globally now weigh in as obese and the world has more overweight than underweight people, according to an analysis of global trends in body mass index (BMI). A startling increase in rates of obesity in the past 40 years means the number of people with a BMI of more than 30 has risen from 105 million in 1975 to 641 million in 2014, the study found. A BMI score over 25 is overweight, over 30 is obese and over 40 is morbidly obese.
The research warned of a looming crisis of “severe obesity” and disease brought on by high-fat, high-sugar diets causing blood pressure and cholesterol to rise. “There will be health consequences of magnitudes that we do not know,” author Majid Ezzati of Imperial College London told AFP. Among men globally, obesity tripled from 3.2 percent of the population in 1975 to 10.8 percent in 2014 (some 266 million), and among women from 6.4 percent to 14.9 percent (375 million), said the survey — 12.9 percent combined.
Want to lose weight and keep it off? A new study suggests eating 130 g of dried beans, dried peas, chickpeas or lentils every day could help.
By Lisa Rapaport (Reuters Health) – Too much time spent sitting is associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes, but the effect is primarily seen among those who are also obese or inactive most of the time, a recent Danish study finds. Overall, the study linked sitting for more than 10 hours a day to a 35 percent higher risk of diabetes compared with sitting for less than 6 hours daily. “If you are normal weight, and it’s impossible to avoid sitting a lot at work, it’s nice to know that being physically active outside work alleviates the diabetes hazard from sitting – at least that’s what our results point toward,” said senior study author Dr. Janne Tolstrup of the University of Southern Denmark in Copenhagen.
