The negative impact of sugar-sweetened beverages on children’s health: an update of the literature

Sara N. Bleich, Kelsey A. Vercammen · 5 Feb 2018

While sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption has declined in the last 15 years, consumption of SSBs is still high among children and adolescents. This research synthesis updates a prior review on this topic and examines the evidence regarding the various health impacts of SSBs on children's health (overweight/obesity, insulin resistance, dental caries, and caffeine-related effects).…

Obesity trends and risk factors in the South African adult population

Annibale Cois, Candy Day · 13 Oct 2015

BACKGROUND: Obesity prevalence is increasing globally and contributes substantially to the burgeoning burden of non-communicable diseases. South Africa is particularly affected by this increasing trend and cross-sectional evidence suggests socioeconomic and behavioural variables as possible drivers. However, no large scale longitudinal study has attempted the direct identification of risk factors for progression towards obesity. METHODS:…

Altered NK cell function in obese healthy humans

Tobias Laue, Christiane D. Wrann, Birgit Hoffmann-Castendiek et al. · 23 Jan 2015

BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with an elevated risk for several types of cancer and thus a major health hazard. However, the mechanism between overweight and cancer susceptibility is still elusive. Leptin, mainly produced by adipocytes links food intake and energy expenditure. In addition, recent studies have shown an immunomodulatory impact of leptin on NK cells.…

Media parenting practices may be an important determinant of children's screen time, however published research exploring the influence of parenting practices on children's screen time has mainly focused on children's television use and the parenting practices of the…

Body mass index and measures of body fat for defining obesity and underweight: a cross-sectional, population-based study

Julie A. Pasco, Kara L. Holloway‐Kew, Amelia G. Dobbins et al. · 23 Jun 2014

BACKGROUND: The body mass index (BMI) is commonly used as a surrogate marker for adiposity. However, the BMI indicates weight-for-height without considering differences in body composition and the contribution of body fat to overall body weight. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify sex-and-age-specific values for percentage body fat (%BF), measured using whole…
