Diverticulosis can lead to diverticulitis, a colon condition involving inflammation and other complications. Diverticulosis can result from biological, behavioral, or genetic causes. However, the etiology of diverticulosis is unknown. Although diet is associated with diverticulosis, recent studies
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether visceral obesity measured by computed tomography (CT) is a risk factor for colonic diverticulosis.
BACKGROUND
The association between colonoscopy-proven diverticulosis and visceral obesity has not been studied.
METHODS
A cohort of 1445 participants (1117
Three cases of pouch diverticula following vertical banded gastroplasty for morbid obesity are presented. Symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and etiology are discussed.
Obesity has been associated with an increased risk of colonic diverticulosis. Evidence for this association is limited. We assessed whether anthropometric measures of obesity were associated with colonic diverticulosis.We analyzed data from a prospective BACKGROUND
Colonic diverticulosis is a common condition with obscure pathogenesis. Obesity, hyperlipidemia and hypertension have been demonstrated to increase the risk of complicated diverticular disease, but the impact of metabolic risk factors on the prevalence of uncomplicated diverticulosis has
BACKGROUND
The possible relationship between obesity and the risk of colonic diverticulosis has been suggested by recent epidemiologic studies, although the results were inconsistent.
OBJECTIVE
This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to summarize all of the available data.

The natural history of colonic diverticulosis is unclear.Patients with incidental diverticulosis identified in a previous prospective cross-sectional screening colonoscopy study were evaluated retrospectively for clinic or hospital visit(s) for diverticular BACKGROUND
Only a few data regarding colonic diverticulosis are available in Italy. We examined the frequency of colonic diverticulosis and its associations with risk factors in a homogeneous Northern Sardinian population undergoing colonoscopy for any reason in the last decades.

OBJECTIVE
The prevalence of colonic diverticulosis in Korea is increasing in conjunction with the adoption of western dietary pattern, extension of lifespan, and advances in diagnostic modalities. The clinical characteristics of colonic diverticulosis seem to be gradually becoming similar to those

During a 4 year period, 69 patients received gastric bypass with stapling and Roux-Y gastrojejunostomy for morbid obesity. The results of 67 preoperative radiologic evaluations of the gastrointestinal tract were analyzed. Of these patients, 17.9 percent (12 of 67) had previous cholecystectomy for
OBJECTIVE
Colonic diverticulosis (CD) is related to advanced age and a lack of dietary fiber. Recently, several studies have shown that metabolic syndrome (MS) is also implicated in the etiopathogenesis of CD. This study aimed to assess the association between MS, obesity and CD.
METHODS
This was a
OBJECTIVE
To investigate which colonoscopy (CS) cases should be presided over by endoscopists in training, using factors including obesity and metabolic syndrome.
METHODS
Items investigated were sex, age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, history of
