Reciprocal longitudinal relations between weight/shape concern and comorbid pathology among women at very high risk for eating disorder onset.
This study examined short-term reciprocal longitudinal relations between weight/shape concern and comorbid symptoms and behaviors over the course of 24 months using cross-lagged panel models. Subjects were women 18-25 years old at high risk for onset of an eating disorder (ED), randomized to an online ED preventive intervention or waitlist control. Results supported focusing intervention on reducing weight/shape concern over reducing comorbid constructs for efficient short-term change.

Are overweight and obesity associated with increased risk of cesarean delivery in Mexico? A cross-sectional study from the National Survey of Health and Nutrition.
Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study to test the association between overweight and obesity and cesarean delivery in Mexico using data from the 2012 National Survey of Health and Nutrition (ENSANUT). They found that multiparous women with obesity are at higher risk of cesarean delivery in Mexico than multiparous women with normal body mass index. They recommend that efforts to reduce the cesarean deliveries rate take the obesity epidemic into account.
