Article Abstract
Background: Extreme obesity pathology is with a risk factor for heart failure (HF), whereas the obesity paradox in HF shows that obese subjects had a good prognosis. The mechanism underlying the obesity paradox in HF prognosis is unclear till now. We aimed to provide evidence for the molecular mechanisms of the obesity paradox in HF.
Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in ischemic HF samples were identified in the GSE57338 and GSE5406 datasets. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) modules and a protein-protein interaction network (PPI) were constructed. HF-associated DEGs and pathways were screened in the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD). The expression of hub genes in adipose tissues from obese patients and LV samples from HF patients were validated in microarray datasets.
Results: Three HF-associated WGCNA modules were identified and DEGs were associated with the 'hsa04115: signaling pathway'. was the only common gene between DEGs and HF-associated genes in the CTD database. The gene was downregulated in the white adipose tissues compared with brown adipose tissues ( = 3.90e-03) and was upregulated in the omental adipose tissues from obese patients compared with lean subjects ( = 3.85e-02).
Conclusion: The downregulation of expression might be responsible for the obesity paradox in HF via interacting with .

Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China.
Objectives: To explore the relationships between cardiac parameters and body composition indices, identifying predictors of subclinical cardiac systolic dysfunction.
Methods: Using anthropometric and serological parameters, echocardiography, and body composition analysis, this study evaluated metabolic profiles, cardiac remodeling patterns, and body composition characteristics in young adult obese patients, while quantifying the correlations between cardiac parameters and body composition indices. Subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction was defined as global longitudinal strain (GLS) < 18%.

Purpose: Obesity is a risk factor for sepsis complications in older adults. We assessed the impact of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUHO) on outcomes in septic shock.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis using the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2020) to identify a cohort of 1,737,075 patients aged 65 years and older who were hospitalized with septic shock, as defined by ICD-10 diagnosis codes.

Background: Obesity is a chronic condition linked to health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, and increased cancer risk. High body mass index (BMI) is associated with cancers such as breast and colorectal cancer due to hormone imbalances and inflammation from excess fat, whereas a low BMI can raise cancer risk by weakening the immune system. Maintaining a normal BMI improves cancer treatment outcomes, but in some cases, higher BMI might offer protective effects-a phenomenon known as the "obesity paradox".

Obesity is intricately linked to various metabolic diseases; however, some individuals maintain metabolic health despite being classified as obese. A critical factor underlying this paradox is the expansion of white adipose tissue (WAT), which can occur through two mechanisms: hypertrophy (the enlargement of existing fat cells) and hyperplasia (the formation of new fat cells from adipocyte precursor cells, or APCs). Hyperplasia is regarded as a healthier mode of WAT expansion, as it tends to reduce inflammation and protect against insulin resistance.
