Brief Summary:
This observational study aims to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) and the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) in individuals with overweight or obesity. The study will assess their association with obesity status, metabolic complications, lifestyle patterns, dietary indices, and established inflammatory biomarkers. Participants will undergo anthropometric assessment, laboratory testing, dietary evaluation, and follow-up for response to different obesity treatment modalities over 3 years. The study intends to determine whether SII and SIRI can serve as clinically useful predictors of metabolic risk and treatment outcomes of obesity.
Detailed Description:
Obesity is a complex chronic disease associated with systemic low-grade inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and increased risk of comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. Adipose tissue acts as an active endocrine organ, influencing immune regulation and inflammatory signalling. Although numerous inflammatory biomarkers have been evaluated in obesity, the diagnostic performance of novel composite systemic immune-inflammatory indices, particularly the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), remains inadequately characterised. SII and SIRI, derived from peripheral blood counts, have shown prognostic potential in various clinical settings but have not been systematically evaluated in predicting metabolic complications or treatment response in obesity. This study seeks to expand their application in patients with overweight and obesity by 1) evaluating the cross-sectional associations between SII/SIRI and obesity severity, inflammatory biomarkers, metabolic disorders, and dietary patterns; and 2) determining the prognostic value of SII/SIRI for predicting metabolic complications and clinical response to behavopural and lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery over a 1-year follow-up.
Participants will complete anthropometric measurements, comprehensive biochemical profiling, inflammatory cytokine assessment, dietary evaluation, and structured follow-up at 12 and 24 weeks, with continued monitoring of treatment response and metabolic outcomes over 1 year.
