Maternal short stature does not predict their children's fatness indicators in a nutritional dual-burden sample of urban Mexican Maya. [PDF]

, 2014
The co-existence of very short stature due to poor chronic environment in early life and obesity is becoming a public health concern in rapidly transitioning populations with high levels of poverty.

Ethnic differences in adiposity and diabetes risk – insights from genetic studies [PDF]

, 2020
Type 2 diabetes is more common in non-Europeans and starts at a younger age and at lower BMI cut-offs. This review discusses the insights from genetic studies about pathophysiological mechanisms which determine risk of disease with a focus on the role of

Genome-wide DNA promoter methylation and transcriptome analysis in human adipose tissue unravels novel candidate genes for obesity

Molecular Metabolism, 2017
Objective/methods: DNA methylation plays an important role in obesity and related metabolic complications. We examined genome-wide DNA promoter methylation along with mRNA profiles in paired samples of human subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and omental ...

Dietary determinants of changes in waist circumference adjusted for body mass index - a proxy measure of visceral adiposity [PDF]

, 2010
Background Given the recognized health effects of visceral fat, the understanding of how diet can modulate changes in the phenotype “waist circumference for a given body mass index (WCBMI)”, a proxy measure of visceral adiposity, is deemed necessary ...

Genome-Wide Association to Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference: The Framingham Heart Study 100K Project [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Obesity is related to multiple cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors as well as CVD and has a strong familial component. We tested for association between SNPs on the Affymetrix 100K SNP GeneChip and measures of adiposity in the ...

Physical exercise in overweight to obese individuals induces metabolic- and neurotrophic-related structural brain plasticity

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Previous cross-sectional studies on body-weight-related alterations in brain structure revealed profound changes in the gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) that resemble findings obtained from individuals with advancing age. This suggests that obesity

Reliance on model-based and model-free control in obesity

Scientific Reports, 2020
Consuming more energy than is expended may reflect a failure of control over eating behaviour in obesity. Behavioural control arises from a balance between two dissociable strategies of reinforcement learning: model-free and model-based.

Understanding the Consequences of Fatty Bone and Fatty Muscle: How the Osteosarcopenic Adiposity Phenotype Uncovers the Deterioration of Body Composition

Metabolites, 2023
Adiposity is central to aging and several chronic diseases. Adiposity encompasses not just the excess adipose tissue but also body fat redistribution, fat infiltration, hypertrophy of adipocytes, and the shifting of mesenchymal stem cell commitment to ...

Early infant feeding and adiposity risk: from infancy to adulthood [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction: Systematic reviews suggest that a longer duration of breast-feeding is associated with a reduction in the risk of later overweight and obesity.

Health-related quality of life, adiposity, and sedentary behavior in patients with early schizophrenia: Preliminary study [PDF]

, 2012
Objective: To examine adiposity and sedentary behavior in relation to health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with early schizophrenia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was used to assess adiposity by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans ...
