Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: A pooled analysis of 3663 population-representative studies with 222 million children, adolescents, and adults
BACKGROUND: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. METHODS: ). For school-aged children and adolescents, we report thinness (BMI 2 SD above the median). FINDINGS: From 1990 to 20…
Public attitudes towards personal health data sharing in long-term epidemiological research: A Citizen Science approach in the Kora study
The findings shed light on cohort management and long-term engagement with study participants. A long-term health study needs to benefit public and individual health; the institution needs to be trustworthy; and the results and their impact need to be disseminated in widely understandable terms and by the right means of communication back to the participants
Relating the visceral factor of pain to domain‐specific risk attitudes
Visceral factors are negative emotions and drive and feeling states that grab people's attention and motivate them to engage in certain behaviors.

One such discrepancy concerns risk‐taking in health contexts as well as in a variety of other domains such as financial or career‐related decisions. This study examines the relationship betwe…
The effect of retirement on biomedical and behavioral risk factors for cardiovascular and metabolic disease
Retirement is a major life event potentially associated with changes in relevant risk factors for cardiovascular and metabolic conditions. This study analyzes the effect of retirement on behavioral and biomedical risk factors for chronic disease, together with subjective health parameters using Southern German epidemiological data. We used panel data from the KORA cohort study, consisting of 11,168 observations for individuals 45-80 years old. Ou…
