... Usually, NAFL is a silent disease, and most people are asymptomatic and their daily lives are not affected. A certain number of individuals with NAFL can develop NASH, which can lead to liver inflammation, and may further progress to the advanced scarring (cirrhosis) and cause liver failure [4,5]. Thus, it is critical to monitor NASH progressions and take effective preventions. ...

... Second, another limitation of our study concerns its limitation to German-speaking people ranging in age from 18 to 65 years only. Digital interventions addressing younger or older clients beyond this age range (eg, older people suffering from dementia [76] or younger clients with child obesity [116]) are likely to require different designs, content, and functionalities of the chatbot (research direction 3). For instance, the interpersonal relationship of an older client with cancer with a peer chatbot is likely to be of another kind than the relationship of a pregnant woman with a "pregnant" peer chatbot. ...

... Psychological interventions, incorporated alongside traditional behavioural obesity treatment strategies, or as stand-alone interventions, target psychological factors that might contribute to eating behaviours and obesity, including distorted body image, negative mood, and stimulus control. 125,147 A core objective of psychological interventions is to reduce barriers for behaviour change. 147 Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most frequently used approach, and addresses the relationship between cognitions, feelings, and behaviours using behavioural therapy techniques to modify behaviours and cognitive techniques to modify dysfunctional cognitions. ...

... The European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) has recognized the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on people living with obesity. Emerging data suggest that obesity is a risk factor for the more serious and complex course of COVID-19 in adults [10]. Therefore, people living with obesity should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination [11]. ...

... PI weight loss is partly or completely reversed after treatment [53]. PIs are only recommended as add-on to LIs [54]. See [54] for a more detailed overview on LI, [55] for BS, and [52] for PI. ...

... There is a correlation between the frequency of visits and weight outcome [8]. The US Preventive Services Task Force estimated that families with children suffering from obesity need at least 26 h of contact with the behavioral support team per year to enable children to reach a clinically relevant reduction in the degree of obesity [9]. ...

... Studies show that sufficient PA leads to an improvement in cardiorespiratory endurance capacity and muscle function, a better quality of life, a positive effect on mental health and less premature mortality [2][3][4]. At least 150 min per week of moderate intensity PA for post-bariatric patients is recommended by the Obesity Management Task Force of the European Association for the Study of Obesity to achieve and maintain successful weight loss and reduce the risk of weight regain [5]. Independent of sufficient PA, high levels of sedentary behavior (SB) are recognized as an independent risk factor for developing chronic diseases [6], with more time spent sedentary associated with negative cardio-metabolic health effects in the general population [7]. ...

... A negative association was found between the "healthy" dietary scores and patterns and most obesity markers, whereas a positive association was found with the "unhealthy" dietary scores and patterns. Those findings are in agreement with current literature that emphasizes the beneficial effects of a healthy diet in obesity prevention (4,(34)(35)(36). ...

... Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) include sugary soft drinks (or regular sodas), fruit drinks, sports/energy drinks, and all other beverages with added sugar [1]. Sugary soft drinks are the most consumed type of SSBs [1,2], with high intake contributing to childhood obesity [3,4] and dental caries [5]. Adolescents and young adults are the largest consumers of SSBs worldwide [1,[6][7][8][9]. ...

... Bariatric surgery is effective in the management of extreme obesity and associated comorbidities, including CMS risk [55], with well-established long-term benefits on weight loss, diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia [56]. While the effect of this intervention has already been reported [57,58], little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. ...
