Abstract
Obesity is classified as a chronic disease. Women and men seem to face different obstacles in their attempts to overcome one of the most challenging tasks in the treatment of this disease, namely, weight reduction maintenance. The Common-Sense-Model (CSM) is mainly used to improve the understanding of self-regulation and health behaviour in chronic diseases but has yet to be explored for obesity. This paper applies the CSM to obesity, focussing on the construct of illness representations, which is the basis of health behaviour according to the CSM. A sample of n = 356 women and n = 77 men with obesity was investigated to assess the extent that illness representations in obesity are shaped by experiences of weight-cycling and the extent that gender influences their quality. Our results show that the representations of timeline and consequences as well as the emotional representation are particularly influenced by weight-cycling, especially in men. On average, women showed more maladaptive illness representations than men. These findings not only contribute to a better applicability of the CSM in obesity, but also emphasize the importance of gender in obesity research and interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) restricts gastric volume to achieve weight loss. We aimed to compare the efficacy of LSG with and without antrectomy for achieving weight loss. METHODS The prospective randomized study comprised 127 obese patients that underwent either LSG with antrectomy (2 cm to pylorus) (group 1) or LSG without antrectomy (6 cm to pylorus) (group 2), using 36 Fr and 32 Fr bougies, respectively. Patients were examined at 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month intervals for body mass index (BMI) measurements. RESULTS Overall, 66 (51%) and 57 (49%) of patients were assigned to groups 1 and 2, respectively. The mean BMI of group 1 patients were 49.5 ± 8.01, 35.8 ± 5.40, 31.3 ± 4.9, 26.7 ± 4.02, and 22.9 ± 4.01 at the baseline, 3rd, 6th, 12th, and 24th month, respectively. The decreases in BMI were statistically significant. The mean BMI of group 2 patients were 46.7 ± 7.06, 39.3 ± 6.04, 32.4 ± 5.01, 26.6 ± 3.76, and 21.6 ± 3.70 at baseline, 3rd, 6th, 12th, and 24th month, respectively. The differences were also statistically significant. When compared with group 2, group 1 patients showed significantly lower BMI values on the 3rd month. Other differences were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION LSG with or without antrectomy is safe and effective for weight loss. Larger studies are required to identify patients likely to benefit from LSG with antrectomy.

Abstract
Background Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are increasingly being offered to patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). On the other hand, the prevalence of obesity is also increasing and expected to reach unprecedented rates in the upcoming decades. Therefore, managing patients on either extreme of the body mass index (BMI) range is anticipated to become a routine challenge and it becomes imperative to understand the impact of BMI, as a spectrum, on the long-term outcomes of CRS and HIPEC. We aim to study the short and long-term outcomes of CRS and HIPEC in patients on both extremes of the BMI spectrum. Methods Patients with PC who underwent CRS and HIPEC over 10 years for ovarian, colorectal, and pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), and whose BMI was recorded were retrospectively included. Patients were divided based on their weight strata. The primary outcomes were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Results A total of 126 patients were included. Fifty-seven point one percent were females and mean age was 59.31±1.57 years. No difference was noted between the groups in regards to demographics, perioperative characteristics, and immediate postoperative outcomes. Underweight group had a trend toward a higher peritoneal cancer index and lower rates of complete cytoreduction. Optimum BMI for OS and DFS was in the obesity range in colorectal PC, in the overweight range in ovarian PC, and in borderline obesity in PMP. Regression analysis identified underweight as an independent risk factor for shorter DFS, whereas underweight and morbid obesity were risk factors for shorter OS, after adjustment for other factors such as incomplete cytoreduction, tumor histology, and grade. Conclusions OS and DFS vary across the BMI strata. Ovarian PC demonstrates earlier recurrence and shorter survival, whereas colorectal PC demonstrates the "obesity paradox" as patients move into the realm of obesity. BMI extremes, low or high, generally carry a poor prognosis for OS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify smaller geographic and region-specific evidence to inform population health planning for overweight and obesity. DESIGN Cross-sectional secondary analysis of data. SETTING Primary healthcare-17 general practices located in the Illawarra-Shoalhaven region of New South Wales (NSW). PARTICIPANTS A subset (n=36 674) of the Sentinel Practices Data Sourcing project adult persons data set (n=118 794) that included information on disease status of all adult patients who had height and weight measurements recorded in their electronic health records and had visited the included general practices within the Illawarra-Shoalhaven region of NSW between September 2011 and September 2013. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Age-adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of overweight and obesity was determined for high and low levels of socioeconomic disadvantage based on Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA)-Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage (IRSD) scores of patients' residential statistical local area. RESULTS In men, overweight was lowest in areas of highest socioeconomic disadvantage (aOR=0.910; 95% CI 0.830 to 0.998; p<0.001); but no statistically significant association with socioeconomic score was found for women. Overall obesity was associated with high socioeconomic disadvantage (aOR=1.292; 95% CI 1.210 to 1.379; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS This type of data analysis reveals multiple layers of evidence that should be assessed for population health approaches to curb the epidemic of obesity and overweight. It strongly highlights the need for preventive health initiatives to be specific to gender and socioeconomic attributes of the target population.

Abstract
O objetivo deste artigo é investigar relações entre renda e escolaridade com condições de saúde e nutrição em obesos graves. Estudo transversal ambulatorial com 79 pacientes de primeira consulta, com Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) ≥ 35 kg/m2 e idade ≥ 20 anos. Coletaram-se dados: sociodemográficos, antropométricos, estilo de vida, exames bioquímicos e consumo alimentar. O IMC médio foi 48,3 ± 6,9 kg/m2. Observou-se correlação negativa significante de escolaridade com variáveis peso (r = -0,234) e IMC (r = -0,364) e de renda familiar per capita com consumo diário de vegetal A (r = -0,263). Após análise multivariada maior renda familiar per capita se associou à ausência de cardiopatia (RP: 0,51, IC95%: 0,32-0,81), maior consumo diário de vegetal A (RP: 1,79, IC95%: 1,16-2,75) e doces (RP: 3,12, IC95%: 1,21-8,04). Em obesos graves a maior renda familiar per capita se associou à ausência de cardiopatia e maior consumo de vegetais folhosos e doces. Já a escolaridade não se manteve associada às condições de saúde e nutrição.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent evidence related to the safety, efficacy, and metabolic outcomes of bariatric surgery to guide clinical decision making. Several short term randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of bariatric procedures for inducing weight loss and initial remission of type 2 diabetes. Observational studies have linked bariatric procedures with long term improvements in body weight, type 2 diabetes, survival, cardiovascular events, incident cancer, and quality of life. Perioperative mortality for the average patient is low but varies greatly across subgroups. The incidence of major complications after surgery also varies widely, and emerging data show that some procedures are associated with a greater risk of substance misuse disorders, suicide, and nutritional deficiencies. More research is needed to enable long term outcomes to be compared across various procedures and subpopulations, and to identify those most likely to benefit from surgical intervention. Given uncertainties about the balance between the risks and benefits of bariatric surgery in the long term, the decision to undergo surgery should be based on a high quality shared decision making process.

Abstract
This study examined healthcare utilization and associated costs for a severely obese population before receiving bariatric surgery relative to an age- and sex-matched sample from the Australian general population. Severely obese subjects receiving laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) surgery in 2009 (n = 11,769) were identified. Utilization of medical services and pharmaceuticals in the 3.5 years before surgery were ascertained for each severely obese subject through linkage with Medicare, Australia's universal health insurance scheme. Equivalent data were retrieved for each subject from the matched general population sample (n = 140,000). Severely obese subjects utilized significantly more medical services annually compared to the general population (mean: 22.8 vs. 12.1/person, standardized incidence ratio (SIR): 1.89 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.88-1.89)), translating to twofold higher mean annual costs (Australian $1,140 vs. $567/person). The greatest excess costs in the obese related to consultations with general practitioners, psychiatrists/psychologists and other specialists, investigations for obstructive sleep apnea, and in vitro fertilization. Severely obese subjects also utilized significantly more pharmaceutical prescriptions annually (mean: 11.4 vs. 5.3/person, SIR 2.18 (95% CI: 2.17-2.19)), translating to 2.2-fold higher mean annual costs ($595/person vs. $270/person). The greatest excess costs in the obese related to diabetes drugs, lipid-modifying agents, psychoanaleptics, acid-related disorder drugs, agents acting on the rennin-angiotensin system, immunosuppressants, and obstructive airway disease drugs. Overall, healthcare costs in the severely obese population were more than double those incurred by the general population.

Abstract
Severe obesity (SO) is increasing faster than obesity in adults and in children. Because it is associated with numerous comorbidities, SO accounts for more health care expenditures than any other medical condition. Furthermore, it is associated with poor pregnancy outcomes for mother, fetus, and infant and a high risk of offspring obesity carried into adulthood. Bariatric surgery is the treatment of choice for SO because nonoperative methods fail to provide medically significant durable weight loss and because it is both preventive and therapeutic. The number of operations has sharply increased globally, yet only a small fraction of eligible patients are referred for surgical treatment demonstrating the need for improved access, especially for those disproportionately affected by SO. The risks of surgery mandate careful postoperative long-term multidisciplinary follow-up care. Education is critical for truly informed consent and must continue postoperatively, especially for women with reproductive potential. Even so, surgical treatment of SO remains cost-effective compared to conventional nonoperative treatment, which also requires long-term care. Just as obesity affects all medical disciplines (from allergology and immunology to oncology, urology and women's health), so does postoperative management of bariatric surgery patients. We offer wide-ranging recommendations for policymakers and others to consider in addressing SO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association between lower socioeconomic status (SES), obesity, lifestyle choices and adverse health consequences are well documented, however to date the relationship between these variables and area-based SES (equivalised for advantage and disadvantage) has not been examined simultaneously in one population or with more than tertiary divisions of SES. We set out to examine the risk factors for obesity and metabolic disorders in the same population across quintiles of area-based SES. METHODS We performed a descriptive cross-sectional study using existing data from a population-based random selection of women aged 20-92 years (n=1110) recruited from the Barwon Statistical Division, South Eastern Australia. RESULTS All measures of adiposity were inversely associated with SES, and remained significant after adjusting for age. Lifestyle choices associated with adiposity and poorer health, including smoking, larger serving sizes of foods, and reduced physical activity, were significantly associated with individuals from lower SES groups. CONCLUSIONS Greater measures of adiposity and less healthy lifestyle choices were observed in individuals from lower SES. Significant differences in body composition were identified between quintiles 1 and 5, whereas subjects in the mid quintiles had relatively similar measures. The inverse relationship between SES, obesity and less healthy lifestyle underscores the possibility that these associations may be causal and should be investigated further.
