Otyłość u nastolatków – powikłania pojawiają się już w dzieciństwie
2023
W ostatnich latach otyłość stała się powszechną chorobą cywilizacyjną, z którą zmagają się osoby w każdym wieku, w tym dzieci i młodzież. Powikłania otyłości pojawiają się już w dzieciństwie i dotyczą m.in. układu sercowo-naczyniowego, układu kostno-stawowego oraz zdrowia psychicznego. U osób chorujących na otyłość zwiększa się ryzyko zaburzeń depresyjnych. Obraz i przebieg kliniczny otyłości są bardzo różnorodne, a pacjenci często zmagają się z odmiennymi powikłaniami i konsekwencjami. Pracownicy ochrony zdrowia, w tym w szczególności lekarze pediatrzy, poza umiejętnością prawidłowego rozpoznawania i leczenia otyłości powinni przede wszystkim wdrażać profi laktykę przez powszechną i profes…
Differences between current clinical guidelines for screening, diagnosis and management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and real-world practice:…
2021
International audience; INTRODUCTION: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease and is associated with obesity and metabolic comorbidities. Liver steatosis can progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) exhibiting a relevant risk of fibrosis and ultimately liver failure. To date, no approved treatment for NASH to reduce its clinical and humanistic burden has been developed. AREAS COVERED: We undertook a literature review to identify English language, national and international clinical guidelines for NAFLD regarding diagnosis, assessment and management, and determined their points of agreement and difference. Additionally, we investigated published liter…
Children's nutritional status and parental educational styles: an experts appreciation
2013
Antecedentes: la obesidad infantil ha sido estudiada de manera amplia en aspectos de diagnóstico y tratamiento fundamentalmente, pero aquellos referidos a la prevención desde factores familiares, no genéticos, han estado muy ausentes del foco de las investigaciones en salud y nutrición pública. Objetivo: explorar las apreciaciones de los profesionales de la nutrición sobre las posibles relaciones entre el tipo de familia, el estado nutricional infantil y los estilos educativos familiares. Materiales y métodos: estudio, descriptivo y exploratorio. Se aplicó una encuesta on-line, semiestructurada a profesionales de España, Chile, Portugal y Colombia. Se incluyeron tres variables específicas: …

SERUM URIC ACID IS INCREASED IN NORMOTENSIVE OBESE CHILDREN WITH A PARENTAL HYSTORY OF HYPERTENSION
2019
Introduction: Increased uric acid levels are associated with new-onset hypertension in children. Nevertheless, controversy remains concerning a direct causative role of serum uric acid (SUA) in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension (EH). Aim: To determine if normotensive obese children and adolescent offspring of adults with EH show SUA levels different than those of paediatric subjects in whom there is no family history of EH. Methods: Fifty-nine obese normotensive children and adolescents, aged between 8 and 17 years, attending for metabolic assessment the Paediatric Diabetes Unit, Children’s Hospital ‘‘G. Di Cristina’’, and for cardiovascular evaluation the ESH Hypertension excellen…
Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference as Predictors of Disability in Nonagenarians : The Vitality 90+ Study
2017
Background Only scarce data exist on the association between obesity and disability in the oldest old. The purpose of this prospective study is to examine if body mass index and waist circumference (WC) are associated with incident mobility and activities of daily living (ADL) disability in nonagenarians. Methods We used longitudinal data from the Vitality 90+ Study, which is a population-based study conducted at the area of Tampere, Finland. Altogether 291 women and 134 men, aged 90–91 years, had measured data on body mass index and/or WC and did not have self-reported mobility or ADL disability at baseline. Incident mobility and ADL disability was followed-up on median 3.6 years (range 0.…

IMPACT OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE ON CARDIOVASCULAR RISK IN A GENERAL POPULATION
2019
Background: Background:Nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) is a major cause of liver disease worldwide leading also to a higher risk of cardiovascular events. We aimed to evaluate the impact of fatty liver and fibrosis on cardiovascular risk factors in a general population. Methods: 604 subjects included in the community-based ABCD (Alimentazione, Benessere Cardiovascolare e Diabete) study were recruited. Steatosis (CAP >288 dB/m) and fibrosis (> 8.7 KPa by M and > 7.2 KPa by XL probe) were assessed with FibroScan Cardiovascular risk was evaluated by the Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) risk estimator and de ned low if <5%, borderline if 5%-7 4%, intermediate if 7-9% a…
IS VISCERAL ADIPOSITY INDEX (VAI)RELATED TO PROSTATE CANCER DETECTED BY BIOPSY?
2014
association between obesity and prostate cancer, yielding inconsistent results. Metabolic syndrome has been suggested to promote aggressive prostate tumors. In a previous study we failed to detect a relation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and prostate cancer Gleason score (1). BMI, although routinely adopted to measure obesity, has low sensitivity and specificity. A novel sex-specific obesity index, based on waist circumference (WC), BMI, triglycerides (TGs) and high density lipoproteins (HDL), the Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI), has been proposed to estimate the visceral adiposity dysfunction (2). The aim of our preliminary research was to correlate VAI and BMI with the presence of prostate…
