HRQoL was measured by the 36-item short-form health survey questionnaire. A mediation analysis based on the counterfactual framework was performed to quantify the proportion of obesity effects on HRQoL mediated by related comorbidities, including cardiometabolic risk factors (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia) and diseases (ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease), musculoskeletal disorders, and asthma. After multiple linear regression, inverse associations were found between increasing body mass index category and physically oriented and most mentally oriented 36-item short-form health survey dimensions, with evidence of greater effects in women. Mediation analysis revealed that obesity effects were significantly mediated by several comorbidities, more apparently in men (eg, proportion of obesity class II total effect mediated via cardiometabolic factors: general health 27.0% [men] versus 13.6% [women]; proportion of obesity class II total effect mediated via total count of comorbidities: physical functioning 17.8% [men] versus 7.7% [women] and general health 37.1% [men] versus 20.3% [women]).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Women have a greater overall impact of obesity on HRQoL, but with proportionally lower effects mediated by cardiometabolic and other obesity-related conditions, suggesting the possible role of other specific psychosocial processes.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1161\/circoutcomes.115.002127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,11]],"date-time":"2016-05-11T05:55:57Z","timestamp":1462946157000},"page":"246-256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Gender-Related Differential Effects of Obesity on Health-Related Quality of Life via Obesity-Related Comorbidities"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Etienne","family":"Audureau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Biostatistics and Epidemiology Unit, Assistance Publique-H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4tel Dieu, Paris, France (E.A., J.C.); Research unit APEMAC, EA 4360, Universit\u00e9 Paris-Descartes, Sorbonne Paris Cit\u00e9, Universit\u00e9 de Lorraine, France (E.A., J.P., J.C.); and Department of Internal Medicine, Assistance Publique-H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pital Europ\u00e9en Georges Pompidou, Paris, France (J.P.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jacques","family":"Pouchot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Biostatistics and Epidemiology Unit, Assistance Publique-H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4tel Dieu, Paris, France (E.A., J.C.); Research unit APEMAC, EA 4360, Universit\u00e9 Paris-Descartes, Sorbonne Paris Cit\u00e9, Universit\u00e9 de Lorraine, France (E.A., J.P., J.C.); and Department of Internal Medicine, Assistance Publique-H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pital Europ\u00e9en Georges Pompidou, Paris, France (J.P.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00ebl","family":"Coste","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Biostatistics and Epidemiology Unit, Assistance Publique-H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4tel Dieu, Paris, France (E.A., J.C.); Research unit APEMAC, EA 4360, Universit\u00e9 Paris-Descartes, Sorbonne Paris Cit\u00e9, Universit\u00e9 de Lorraine, France (E.A., J.P., J.C.); and Department of Internal Medicine, Assistance Publique-H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pital Europ\u00e9en Georges Pompidou, Paris, France (J.P.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/dyi260"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(10)62037-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2008.285"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(09)60318-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.109.192574"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.282.16.1523"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1525-1497.2000.90906.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijo.0803250"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2003.33"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11136-010-9610-z"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijo.0801919"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11136-009-9541-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/pubmed\/fdi025"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-12-143"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2009.400"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11136-011-9989-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ijo.2010.230"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_19_2","first-page":"14","article-title":"The association between obesity and health-related quality of life among urban Latinos.","volume":"24","author":"Wanat KA","year":"2014","unstructured":"Wanat KA, Kovarik CL, Shuman S, Whitaker RC, Foster GD, O\u2019Brien MJ.
