It is accompanied by a low-grade chronic systemic inflammation state that leads to numerous health disorders. To counteract this scenario, dietary-derived caloric restriction (CR) is the principal intervention for weight loss. Furthermore, probiotic supplementation has gained attention as a co-intervention to optimize weight loss and other health-related factors. As such, we aimed to verify the effect of CR with probiotic supplementation on the body composition, quality of life, sleep quality, anxiety, stress, and depression symptoms of adult men living with obesity.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>The study is called the Clinical Study of Obesity and Intestinal Microbiota (ECOMI). It is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving two parallel groups of stable-weight adult men living with obesity. The inclusion criteria were male individuals aged 25–44 years, with body mass index (BMI) ranging from 30.0 to 39.99 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, and stable body mass over the preceding three months. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: Caloric Restriction with Probiotic (CRPRO) and Caloric Restriction with Placebo (CRPLA). The achieved CR was 30 % of the total daily energy expenditure. Macronutrients were distributed as 50 % carbohydrates, 30 % lipids, and 20 % proteins. Probiotic supplementation was carried out using two sachets/day of 1 g, containing 1 × 10<sup>9</sup> Colony Forming Units (CFU) of each strain: <em>Lactobacillus acidophilus</em> NCFM, <em>Lactobacillus rhamnosus</em> HN001, <em>Lactobacillus paracasei</em> Lpc-37 and <em>Bifidobacterium lactis</em> HN019, totaling 8 billion CFU/day. CR and probiotic (or placebo) supplementation intervention lasted 12 weeks. Body composition and psychobiological-related parameters (e.g., sleep, anxiety, stress, and depression) were assessed at baseline and following 12 weeks of intervention.

Multidimensional frailty assessment tools, such as the multidimensional prognostic index-MPI, a tool based on a standard comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), have proven valuable for predicting adverse outcomes, including mortality of older adults following acute illness but its application in everyday clinical practice is limited. We hypothesized that removing parameters not closely associated with mortality and sorting the patient population according to the presence or not of cognitive impairment with possible integration of common laboratory markers, could provide a simplified approach that could improve practicability in all settings with at least comparable 1-year mortality predictive value.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;A retrospective cohort study was conducted in patients consecutively admitted to the Geriatric Clinic of the Maggiore University Hospital in Trieste, Italy from January 1st 2018 to December 31st 2019.

In a development cohort of 1032 consecutive patients, best predictors of mortality were selected via systematic analysis and included in simplified prognostic models and algorithms and subsequently compared for prediction of 1-year mortality.
