• Association between eating patterns and obesity in a free-living US adult population. (2003, background): “8 percent of US adults are obese, defined as having a body mass index (weight (kg)/height (m)2) equal to or greater than 30 kg/m2, which percentage reflects a 61 percent increase since 1991 (3).”
• Effects of exercise and diet on chronic disease. (2005, background): “Additionally, overweight and obesity [as defined by a body mass index (BMI) of 25] has been estimated to be present in 60% of the adult US population (107, 261, 262), and obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome are now common in children (381).”
• Relationship between Urban Sprawl and Physical Activity, Obesity, and Morbidity (2003, neutral): “One consequence of physical inactivity—obesity—has reached epidemic proportions across age, race/ethnic, and socioeconomic groups [4, 5].”
• NCEP-defined metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and prevalence of coronary heart disease among NHANES III participants age 50 years and older. (2003, background): “More recent studies have shown that there is a continuing epidemic of diabetes and obesity and suggest that NHANES III data, even adjusted for recent census data, may be underestimating the prevalence of diabetes and metabolic syndrome (31).”
• The Inflammasome-Mediated Caspase-1 Activation Controls Adipocyte Differentiation and Insulin Sensitivity (2010, methodology): “IL-1b and IL-18 Measurements IL-1b concentrations in white adipose tissue or cell culture medium were determined using a specific radioimmunoassay as previously described (Netea et al., 1996).”
