Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Introduction: Childhood obesity is currently a serious worldwide public health issue associated with many medical and psychosocial complications. The increasing disease burden with the potential for the development of medical co-morbidities has implications for future health care provision. This thesis adds to the understanding of the medical complications of overweight and obesity in childhood. Design and Aims: Two different, but related, research studies are reported. The first study is a cross-sectional study, designed to quantify the medical complications of childhood obesity in primary school-aged children in Western Australia. This study aims to identify the medical complications of primary school children with overweight/obesity. The study also aims to compare the medical complications of obesity in a community sample who have never sought treatment with a clinical sample who are actively seeking treatment for overweight/obesity. Finally, this study also aims to examine the relationship between the medical complications of childhood obesity and a continuum of children's Body Mass Index z-scores, including those in the normal range. The second study is an exercise intervention study to investigate the effect of exercise on one specific medical complication of obesity, namely insulin resistance. This study aims to determine if a structured eight-week exercise program significantly changes insulin resistance in obese children, and to determine if this decrease in insulin resistance is associated with changes in body composition and inflammatory markers. ... Conclusion: The prevalence of the medical complications of overweight and obesity in primary school children indicates that all children should have body mass index regularly checked from a young age. Children who are overweight/obese should be screened for the presence of co-morbidities despite a young age. Parents and health professionals needs to be educated that childhood obesity is associated with medical co-morbidities and is not simply a social or cosmetic concern. The continuous nature of the BMI z-score/co-morbidities relationship suggests that public health and health education strategies should include adopting a populationbased approach to weight management. This continuous relationship means that even in the normal BMI spectrum, the risk of developing co-morbidities rises with increasing BMI. Such an approach would encourage maintenance of normal weight for all children, rather than targeting overweight/obese children only. Increased activity and decreased sedentary behaviours should be recommended for all children in line with the population-based public health approach suggested above. However, exercise has a specific role in weight management strategies for overweight/obese children, and in management strategies for adiposityrelated co-morbidities. Significant metabolic benefits of exercise occur in the absence of changes in body shape and weight. After an exercise program, simple blood investigations (such as lipid profiles, fasting insulin and OGTTs) are likely to miss important metabolic improvements and anthropometry (BMI calculation, waist circumference) may be more indicative of potential metabolic improvement and decreased co-morbidity risk.

Abstract:
The management of obesity before a woman conceives is one of the most effective efforts a woman can take in decreasing her risk of obesity-related complications during pregnancy. Evidence supports the idea that maternal obesity influences maternal and fetal outcomes, leading to maternal and fetal morbidities. Physicians acknowledge the importance of screening women for obesity, but many do not refer patients for weight-loss therapy. In this study, the health belief model was used to explore the associations between participants' obesity risk of complications during pregnancy, the number of weight-loss interventions they attempted to implement prior to pregnancy, and how they viewed the success of their interventions. Participants were a random sample of 95 obese pregnant women older than 19 years participating in the supplemental WIC program in an urban community in Newark, New Jersey. A quantitative nonexperimental correlational study using descriptive and inferential statistics was used to analyze the data. The results of this study indicated that obese pregnant women did not perceive the risks associated with obesity as a problem, nor was there an association among the types of weight-loss methods attempted, the overall success of their weight-loss interventions, and ethnicity. Women who tried exercise and dietary restrictions or exercise only were more likely to experience success than those who tried other methods or combinations of methods (p = 0.012). The data provided can lead to better informed strategies by health care professionals to develop standards in healthcare, particularly obstetrics and gynecology offices and clinics, to help obese women be more compliant with treatment recommendations for reducing the risks of obesity-related health problems.

Abstract:
Obesity has become one of the biggest threats to global health, as it frequently co-occurs with a constellation of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and is associated with increased mortality. Genetic factors account for a substantial portion of the phenotypic variance in obesity and each of the correlated vascular disease risk factors. In this thesis, I describe the identification of several common genetic variants that predispose carriers to the complications associated with obesity. First, I report the identification of common variation within the gene of a protein secreted by visceral adipose tissue, visfatin, and demonstrate the influence of these variants on the inter-individual variation in fasting insulin levels. Second, I describe the identification of an interaction between the use of thiazolidinediones (TZDs), a class of anti-hyperglycemic medication, and variation in the nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic component 2 (NFATC2) gene that results in edema and potentially congestive heart failure (CHF). Next, using a South Asian population sample for gene discovery, I identify a novel association between variation in the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) gene, a target of incretin-based anti-hyperglycemic medication, and apolipoprotein B (apoB) levels, a CVD risk factor and marker of the dyslipidemia associated with obesity. In addition, using observed differences between the Europeans and South Asians I was able to identify heterogeneity in the association between DPP4 and apoB caused by adiposity. Finally, I report an association between variation in the sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBF1) gene and body mass index (BMI) and demonstrate its potential contribution to observed differences in BMI among different ethnicities around the world. I also present data that strongly suggest that these differences may have been due to recent positive selection at this locus in human populations. The findings in this thesis illustrate the importance of common genetic variants in the pathogenesis of obesity, as well as its associated complications and highlight the regulation of glucose by adipose tissue as an important underlying feature.
L'obésité est devenue une des plus grandes menaces dans la santé publique, étant donné qu'elle est fréquemment co-reliée avec des facteurs de risque du diabète de type 2 (T2D) et de la maladie cardiovasculaire (CVD), et est donc associée à une mortalité accrue. Les facteurs génétiques représentent une partie substantielle de la variation phénotypique de l'obésité, ainsi que des facteurs de risque des maladies vasculaires qui y sont associés. Dans cette thèse, je décris l'identification de plusieurs variants génétiques communs qui prédisposent les porteurs aux complications associées à l'obésité. D'abord, je décris l'identification d'une variation commune dans le gène d'une protéine sécrétée par le tissu adipeux viscéral, visfatin, et démontre l'influence de ces variants sur la variation interindividuelle d'une insulinémie à jeun. Deuxièmement, je décris l'identification d'une interaction entre l'utilisation des thiazolidinediones une classe de médicaments anti-hyperglycémiques, et une variation génétique dans le gène nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic component 2 (NFATC2) qui aboutit à l'œdème et potentiellement à l'insuffisance cardiaque congestive. Ensuite, en utilisant un échantillon de la population asiatique du Sud dans la découverte de gènes, j'identifie une nouvelle association entre la variation du gène dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), une cible de la médication anti-hyperglycémique basée sur l'incretin, et les niveaux de l'apolipoprotéine B (apoB), un facteur de risque du CVD et un marqueur de la dyslipidémie associée à l'obésité. De plus, en utilisant des différences observées entre les Européens et les Asiatiques du Sud, j'ai pu identifier l'hétérogénéité dans l'association entre DPP4 et apoB causé par l'adiposité. Finalement, je décris une association entre la variation du gène sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBF1) et l'indice de masse corporelle (BMI) et démontre sa contribution potentielle aux différences de BMI observées parmi différentes ethnicités dans le monde entier. Je présente aussi des données qui suggèrent fortement que ces différences peuvent être dues à une récente sélection positive à ce locus dans des populations humaines. Les découvertes de cette thèse illustrent l'importance des variants génétiques communs dans la pathogenèse de l'obésité, ainsi que les complications qui s'y rattachent et mettent en évidence la régulation de glucose par le tissu adipeux comme étant une caractéristique sous-jacente importante.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) a higher number of medical morbidities are known to be associated with those that have obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) compared to OSA alone. OHS can therefore pose a higher risk of postoperative complications after elective non-cardiac surgery (NCS) and is often unrecognized at the time of surgery. The objective of this study was to retrospectively identify patients with OHS and compare their postoperative outcomes with those who have OSA alone. METHODS: Patients meeting criteria for OHS were identified within a large cohort of patients with OSA who underwent elective NCS at a major tertiary care center. We identified postoperative outcomes associated with OSA and OHS as well as the clinical determinants of OHS (BMI, AHI). Multivariable logistic or linear regression models were used for dichotomous or continuous outcomes, respectively. RESULTS: Patients with hypercapnia from definite or possible OHS, and overlap syndrome are more likely to develop postoperative respiratory failure [OR: 10.9 (95% CI 3.7-32.3), p<0.0001], postoperative heart failure (p<0.0001), prolonged intubation [OR: 5.4 (95% CI 1.9-15.7), p=0.002), postoperative ICU transfer (OR: 3.8 (95% CI 1.7-8.6), p=0.002]; longer ICU (beta coefficient: 0.86; SE: 0.32, p=0.009) and hospital length of stay (beta coefficient: 2.94; SE: 0.87, p=0.0008) when compared to patients with OSA. Among the clinical determinants of OHS, neither BMI nor AHI showed associations with any postoperative outcomes in univariable or multivariable regression. CONCLUSIONS: Better emphasis is needed on preoperative recognition of hypercapnia among patients with OSA or overlap syndrome undergoing elective NCS

Abstract:
Obesity is a major public health problem. Bariatric surgery is currently the only available treatment that offers sufficient weight-loss and metabolic benefits over time. Although bariatric surgery is considered safe now, serious complications still occur. The aim of this thesis was to identify factors associated with an increased risk for postoperative complication after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. Study I included patients operated with laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery in Sweden from May 2007 until September 2012. The risk for serious complication was low (3.4%). Suffering an intraoperative adverse event or conversion of the operation to open surgery were the strongest risk factors for postoperative complication. The annual operative volume and experience of the procedure at the institution were also important risk factors. Patient-specific risk factors appeared to be less important although age was associated with an increased risk. In Study II, a raised glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was evaluated as a risk factor for serious postoperative complications in non-diabetics. A higher incidence of serious postoperative complications was seen with elevated HbA1c values, even at levels classified as ‘‘pre-diabetic’’. Study III was a multicentre, randomised clinical trial (RCT). 2507 patients planned for laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery were randomised to either mesenteric defects closure or non-closure. Closure of the mesenteric defects reduced the rate of reoperation for small bowel obstruction from 10.2% to 5.5% at 3 years after surgery. A small increase in the rate of serious postoperative complication within the first 30 days was seen with mesenteric defects closure. This relatively small increase in risk was however outweighed by the marked reduction of later reoperations for small bowel obstruction. Study IV was a comparison between study III and an observational study on the same population under the same period of time. Although the observational study reached the same conlusion as the RCT, the efficacy of mesenteric defects closure was less pronounced. Observational studies may thus be an alternative to RCTs under situations when RCTs are not feasible. The efficacy may however be underestimated.

Abstract:
Contexte : L'obésité est considérée par l'OMS comme une « épidémie » mondiale en raison de l'essor de sa prévalence et de ses conséquences sur la santé. Chez les patientes enceintes, son impact semble tout aussi préoccupant et sa prévalence en France atteint actuellement 10%. Certaines complications de l'obésité chez la femme enceinte ont été peu étudiées et notamment le lien particulier avec la macrosomie fœtale.Objectifs : Mieux appréhender la prise en charge des patientes enceintes obèses et de certaines complications qui en découlent.Méthodes : Trois séries de données différentes ont servi pour répondre à différentes questions sur la thématique de l'obésité et de la macrosomie. 1) Une évaluation de la faisabilité et de la qualité d'une échographie obstétricale du 2ème trimestre chez les patientes obèses a été réalisée via une étude mono centrique avec recueil prospectif des données. 2) Une étude des facteurs de risques de complications maternelles en cas d'accouchement d'un enfant macrosome, indépendamment de l'obésité maternelle et du poids de naissance de l'enfant a été menée sous la forme d'une étude prospective de cohorte d'enfant de plus de 4000g dans deux maternités d'Ile de France. 3) Enfin, une comparaison de la relation entre les complications maternelles de la grossesse et /ou néonatales et l'obésité a été menée entre la France (4 maternités de type III) et le Québec (données issues d'une étude randomisée dans toute la province) entre 2009 et 2011 via une étude comparative de deux échantillons transversaux de femmes enceintes (26 973 accouchements en France et 83 545 accouchements au Québec). Résultats : 1) Une échographie du deuxième trimestre de la grossesse chez une population obèse est possible, avec un taux de réussite en une fois de 70,4 %, (versus 82% ; p=0,08). Les facteurs d'amélioration de ce taux étaient : passer plus de temps lors de l'échographie (p=0,03), déplacer le fœtus de sorte que son dos soit en position latérale ou postérieure (p=0,01), et échographie réalisée par des échographistes expérimentés (p=0,03). Néanmoins, la qualité des images reste significativement moins bonne dans la population obèse (p=0,001). 2) La survenue de complications maternelles lors de la tentative d'accouchement vaginal d'un enfant de plus de 4000 g est de 6%. Les facteurs de risque de complications maternelles, outre le poids de naissance de l'enfant (p=0,004, Risque attribuable (RA)=10%), sont l'origine asiatique de la mère (p=0,04 ; RA=3%), une durée longue du travail (>10h) (p=0,02 ; RA=12%), et une césarienne au cours du travail (p=0,004 ; RA=17%). Les patientes multipares ayant déjà accouché par voie vaginale d'un enfant macrosome avaient un risque diminué de complications maternelles (p=0,03). 3) La prévalence de l'obésité était de 9,1% en France et 16,8% au Québec (p<0,001). L'obésité était associée de manière statistiquement significative (p<0,0001), à la fois en France et au Québec, à un risque accru de diabète gestationnel, de troubles hypertensifs de la grossesse, de prééclampsie, de mort fœtale in utero, d'accouchement par césarienne et de macrosomie. L'association était différente en France et au Québec (p interaction <0,005), pour la survenue du diabète gestationnel, de complications hypertensives de la grossesse et pour la macrosomie, avec une augmentation plus importante des complications avec l'IMC au Québec par rapport à la France.Conclusion : La compréhension de certaines complications inhérentes à l'obésité (complications médicales de la grossesse, faisabilité et qualité du dépistage échographique, complications obstétricales) est améliorée par les résultats de cette thèse
Background: According to WHO, obesity is considered as an "epidemic" condition due to the global growth of its prevalence and its impact on patient health. For pregnant patients, its impact seems equally worrying and its prevalence is now reaching 10% in France. Some complications of obesity in pregnant women have been little studied and particularly the special link with fetal macrosomia.Objectives: To better understand care and obstetric outcome of obese pregnant patients as well as some of their complications such as fetal macrosomia.Methods: Three different sets of data were used to deal with questions regarding obesity and macrosomia. 1) Assessment of feasibility and quality of second trimester ultrasound scan in obese patients was performed through a mono centric case-control study with prospective data collection. 2) A study of risk factors for maternal complications in case of the delivery of a macrosomic child, regardless of maternal obesity and child's birth weight, was conducted as a prospective cohort study including children with birthweight above 4000g in two “Ile de France” maternity wards. 3) Finally, a comparison of the relationship between maternal and/or neonatal complications of pregnancy and obesity was conducted in France (4 type III maternity wards) and in Quebec (data from a randomized study throughout the province) between 2009 and 2011 through a comparative study of two cross-sectional samples of pregnant women (26,973 births in France and 83,545 births in Quebec).Results: 1) Second trimester ultrasound scan in obese pregnant women is feasible, with a success rate of 70.4% (versus 82%; p=0.08). Factors of improvement were: to spend more time at ultrasound (p=0.03), to move the fetus so that its back is in lateral or posterior position (p=0.01) and when ultrasound was performed by experienced sonographers (p=0.03). However, the quality of the image remains significantly lower in the obese population (p=0.001). 2) The occurrence of maternal complications, when attempting vaginal birth of a child of more than 4000g, was 6%. Beyond childbirth weight (p=0.004, attributable risk (AR) = 10%), the risk factors of maternal complications were Asian ethnicity (p=0.04; AR=3%), prolonged labor (> 10h) (p=0.02; AR=12%), and caesarean section during labor (p=0.004; AR=17%). Multiparous women with a previous vaginal delivery of a macrosomic child had a lower risk of maternal complications (p=0.03). 3) The prevalence of obesity was 9.1% in France and 16.8% in Quebec (p <0.001). Obesity was significantly (p <0.0001) associated with, both in France and in Quebec, an increased risk of gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preeclampsia, stillbirth, cesarean delivery and macrosomia. The strength of the association was different in France and Quebec (p of interaction <0.005) for the occurrence of gestational diabetes, hypertensive complications of pregnancy and macrosomia, with a larger increase in complications with body mass index in Quebec compared to France.Conclusion: Understanding some inherent complications of obesity (medical complications of pregnancy, feasibility and quality of ultrasound screening, obstetric complications) is enhanced by the result of this work

Abstract:
Introduction: Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease that can predispose to several comorbidities, including breast cancer. The Department of Health estimates the number of overweight people in Brazil is 65%. The relationship between weight and height (BMI, Body Mass Index) has been used by WHO to assess the degree of obesity in the population. Breast cancer is responsible for more than 8,000 deaths each year in Brazil. Despite advances in systemic treatment, surgery is one of the main treatments used, and obesity is a relevant factor that worsens the oncological prognosis and is predictive of perioperative complications. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between obesity and surgical complications in 5,657 breast cancer patients undergoing surgical treatment (conservative or radical) at Pérola Byington Hospital. Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out with 5,657 patients undergoing surgical treatment (conservative or radical) by the Braziliann Unified Health System (SUS) at the Women’s Health Reference Center at Hospital Pérola Byington from January 2011 to December 2019. Data were collected from the medical records of the institution. The patients were divided into six groups according to BMI=W/H2 (25), followed by hematoma, diagnosed in 72 patients, 59.7% overweight women. The third most common complication was infection of the surgical site in only 19 patients (0.3%), with 78.9% in overweight women. This fact can be explained by inadequate perfusion, deficiency of macro and micronutrients and hypoxia that impairs collagen synthesis, resulting in poor healing, causing dehiscence. From these data presented, it is possible to infer thatcomplications such as seroma, hematoma, infection of the surgical wound, dehiscence, and even loss of the surgical flap are strongly associated with increased body weight. Conclusions: We came to the conclusion that the increase in body weight, especially in patients with a BMI> 25, is an unfavorable factor for the occurrence of surgical complications in patients with breast cancer, and it is essential to provide guidance on the risks of complications in the preoperative evaluation for adjusting the best surgical procedure and mainly for considering late reconstruction.

Abstract:
Intra-gastric balloons have been and effective and non-invasive method for morbid obesity treating since it is proposed. However, traditional balloons lead to complications such as nausea and sickness caused by insertion and removal endoscopes. Despite free of endoscope-guide insertion and removal process, wireless controlled balloons still have to face the problem of energy shortage. This paper proposes a novel wireless controlled and powered endoscope capsule of edible size. The performance of wireless control and powering are tested respectively. In addition, in-vivo and in-vitro experiments are conducted for further evaluation and shows feasibility for treating morbid obesity. This study may contribute to the development of endoscopic devices and surgery as well.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder with a prevalence of 20% in the United States and less than 5% in Asia. Untreated, GERD can result in a symptomatic burden to the patient, poor health-related quality of life, complications, such as esophageal stricture, Barrett’s esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma, and a high direct and indirect cost to the healthcare system. Various pathophysiological mechanisms have been identified to explain the relationship between obesity and GERD, including a high prevalence of hiatal hernia and increased gastroesophageal pressure gradient. This study aimed to examine the association between obesity and GERD in Asia and America. Subjects and Method: This was meta-analysis and systematic review. The study was conducted by collecting articles from PubMed, Google Scholar, BMC Journals, Science Direct, Mendeley, and clinical key databases. Keywords used “Obesity” OR “HMI” AND “Gastroesophageal reflux disease” OR “GERD” AND “Effect obesity for GERD” AND “aOR”. The inclusion criteria were full text, using cross-sectional study design, and reporting adjusted odds ratio. The study population was adults who experienced GERD. Intervention was obesity. The study outcome was gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The articles were selected using PRISMA flow chart. The quantitative data were analyzed using random effect model run on Revman 5.3. Results: 5 studies were analyzed and reviewed for this study. Current study reported that obesity increased the risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (aOR= 2.04; 95% CI=1.42 to 2.92; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Obesity increases the risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Keywords: obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease Correspondence: Alfiani Vivi Sutanto. Masters Program in Public Health.

Abstract:
Introduction: Since the beginning of the pandemic in December 2019, COVID-19 caused by the infection of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), in addition to the clinical manifestations already, can develop changes in the rate of blood clotting, where there are already notifications of Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) associated with the virus. Objective: To know the characteristics of patients with COVID-19 affected by CVA, documented in the scientific literature. Method: A systematic literature review was carried out, using the MeSH Brower platform descriptors, namely: Stroke and Coronavirus, with an AND expression. The articles were searched in scientific databases: PubMed, MEDLINE Complete and SCIELO. 217 studies were found, of which 04 publications were included in this research. Results: Parallel studies on patient characteristics: elderly, male and comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and obesity, all risk factors for stroke. However, there were cases of young patients affected by CVA after the diagnosis of COVID-19. With regard to neurological changes, the researched articles state that most patients have symptoms such as deviation of the labial commissure on the right, dysarthria, aphasia, hemiplegia and hemianesthesia on the left. Conclusion: Although this incidence is not known, CVA is emerging as a complication of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this sense, further studies on the subject are necessary, since the elucidation of thrombotic mechanisms in patients with COVID- 19 can generate complications to prevent complications such as Cerebrovascular Accident.

Abstract:
Type 2 diabetes accounts for up to 90% of all diabetes cases. It is known that people with type 2 diabetes are often obese. Long-term complications also include problems with the cardiovascular, nervous and urinary systems. The model of type 2 diabetes mellitus based on a diet rich of fat and carbohydrates was used in the work. We observed a significant increase in the body weight of mice and sugar levels in their blood. Morphometric analysis of the pancreas showed an increase of its mass coefficient. Tactile sensitivity measurement showed an increase in its threshold. The developed model is quite suitable for analyzing the diabetes progression and its side effects on the body. Key words: diabetes mellitus type 2, obesity, pancreas, tactile sensitivity.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dietary habits (DH) and eating behaviors (EB) among adults during COVID-19-induced confinement. For this purpose, an online survey designed to assess the change in DH and EB during April and May of 2020 was distributed using various social media platforms. A total of 1844 participants aged 18-72 years completed the survey. The results outlined an increase (42.5-61.8%) in most of the DH and EB examined in the current study in the majority of the participants. Among these changes, increased (p<0.05) prevalence of fruit and vegetable, immune boosters, water, and hot beverage consumption as well as decreased (p<0.05) eating in restaurants and fatty food consumption, suggest a positive change. Conversely, a greater (p<0.05) percentage of the participants reported an increase in high-calorie food consumption and late night eating indicating a risky behavior for obesity and subsequent chronic complications. Additionally, age, gender, obesity, education, income, and job type seem to contribute (p<0.05) to the changes in DH and EB. Overall, COVID-19-induced confinement seems to compel adults to adopt a specific DH and EB. Though most of these changes were positive, some were negative. The study provides crucial information to design subpopulation recommendations and developmental programs for adults under such conditions.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The purpose of this study is to summarize the characteristics of RCT in the treatment of obesity by acupuncture and other related intervention measures, so as to enhance evidence-based clinical practice about acupuncture for obesity. Condition being studied: Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease that is defined as a body's excessive accumulation or abnormal distribution of total or local fat content. Their complications such as Type II diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases are strongly related to higher risks of mortality. In recent years, with the changes in diet structure and living habits, 1.9 billion adults were overweight and over 650 million were obese according to the report by the WHO in 2016. Acupuncture is a characteristic therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, which is effective and safe for the treatment of simple obesity. In recent years, many RCTs using acupuncture in simple obesity were carried out within and outside of China. But currently, acupuncture treatment has no uniform standard, and there are a number of problems with this current clinical application of modern Chinese Medicine. Unfortunately, there is an absence of high-quality data supporting their use. This scoping review aims to summarize the characteristics of RCT in the treatment of obesity by acupuncture and other related intervention measures, so as to enhance evidence-based clinical practice about acupuncture and moxibustion for obesity.
