Semaglutide and cardiovascular outcomes by baseline and changes in adiposity measurements: a prespecified analysis of the SELECT trial
The cardioprotective effects of semaglutide were independent of baseline adiposity

Salivary Testosterone, Age, and Adiposity Associations Among Shuar Males in Amazonian Ecuador Challenge Assumptions of “Normal” Testosterone Patterns
Objectives
Adult male testosterone concentrations in high income countries often decrease with age and adiposity, a pattern typically viewed as “normal.” However, testosterone is expected to be adap.....

The discourse about that lovely actress is an infuriating example of conceptual equivocation. Clothing size is not equivalent to medical adiposity which is not equivalent to social fatness! No amount of “but she’s a size 6!” changes the way she (& her characters) are represented and treated!
