We enrolled 9,725 participants (aged ≥18 years) who completed three consecutive biennial health examinations between 2018 and 2022, with complete follow-up in 2024. Systemic inflammation was quantified using three established biomarkers: neutrophil count (NC), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). Cumulative exposure was calculated from baseline to the third examination by multiplying biomarker values by the time (years) between consecutive examinations. The primary outcome was MASLD development at the fourth examination, and advanced liver fibrosis among incident MASLD cases was further evaluated using the fibrosis-4 index (≥2.67). Multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore the associations between cumulative exposure to inflammation and MASLD incidence and fibrosis severity.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>At the fourth examination, 939 incident MASLD cases (9.66%) were identified. In fully adjusted models, participants in the highest quartile of cumulative NC exposure had 2.20-fold higher odds of MASLD (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.81 to 2.69; <i>P</i> for trend <0.001) than those in the lowest quartile. Similarly, the highest quartile of cumulative SII exposure had 1.32-fold higher odds (95% CI, 1.09 to 1.59; <i>P</i> for trend=0.003). Conversely, cumulative NLR exposure showed no significant association with MASLD incidence. The addition of cumulative NC or SII to the basic model comprising traditional risk factors improved the ability to predict MASLD. Furthermore, among participants who developed MASLD, the highest quartile of cumulative NC (odds ratio [OR], 4.74; 95% CI, 1.76 to 12.75; <i>P</i> for trend <0.001) and cumulative SII (OR, 3.74; 95% CI, 1.48 to 9.45; <i>P</i> for trend=0.006), but not cumulative NLR, were significantly associated with an elevated risk of advanced liver fibrosis.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Greater NC exposure and excessive SII exposure were each independently associated with incident MASLD and related advanced liver fibrosis.

To address these limitations, a recent <i>Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology</i> Commission proposed a disease-oriented redefinition of obesity, distinguishing clinical obesity-excess adiposity causing organ dysfunction or functional impairment-from preclinical obesity, characterized by excess adiposity without established dysfunction. This shift has important implications for diagnosis, epidemiology, and health policy. In this review, we critically appraise the conceptual framework, emerging evidence, and implementation challenges of the new Lancet Commission definition of clinical obesity. Population-based studies from diverse regions consistently demonstrate marked discordance between BMI-defined and clinical obesity, with clinical obesity showing stronger associations with cardiometabolic disease, mortality, functional limitation, and cancer risk. These findings highlight the limitations of universal BMI thresholds, particularly in Asian populations with a predisposition to visceral adiposity at lower BMI levels. We compare the Lancet Commission framework with existing staging systems, including the Edmonton Obesity Staging System and the European Association for the Study of Obesity framework, and identify key challenges related to causal attribution, binary classification, scalability, and ethnic adaptation. Finally, we propose a refined, population-sensitive and pragmatic approach that conceptualizes preclinical and clinical obesity as stages along a trajectory, incorporates ethnicity-adapted adiposity thresholds, and emphasizes readily available clinical criteria for determining dysfunction and disease.

Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has evolved into an effective and durable treatment for severe obesity, providing sustained weight loss and significant remission of obesity-related comorbidities (i.e., type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease). Despite dramatic improvements in safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes over time, MBS remains markedly underutilized, reaching fewer than 1% of eligible patients. Persistent barriers include limited patient and provider awareness, misconceptions regarding surgical risk, and significant disparities in access to care. Concurrently, the rapid adoption of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) has transformed the medical management of obesity, offering effective pharmacologic weight loss but raising questions regarding their impact on MBS utilization, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Emerging evidence demonstrates that while MBS produces greater and more durable weight loss than GLP-1 RAs alone, these therapies need not be competitive. Rather, GLP-1 RAs may serve as 'neoadjuvant' treatment to optimize surgical candidacy or as adjunctive treatment for inadequate weight loss or postoperative weight regain. This review synthesizes contemporary data on MBS procedures, outcomes, disparities in access, and evolving perceptions of obesity treatment in the GLP-1 RA era. We propose a chronic weight management model that integrates pharmacotherapy, surgery, and multidisciplinary care along a continuous treatment spectrum. Positioning MBS and GLP-1 RAs as complementary modalities within individualized care pathways may improve long-term outcomes, expand access, and better address the complex, chronic nature of obesity.</p>","PeriodicalId":45386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149128720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
