Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Groups and Metabolic Syndrome in European Adolescents: The HELENA Study.

Purpose: Psychosocial stressors derived from socioeconomic disadvantages in adolescents can result in higher risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to examine whether socioeconomic disadvantages were associated with MetS independent of lifestyle and whether there was a dose-response relationship between the number of cumulated socioeconomic disadvantages and risk of MetS.

Methods: This study included 1,037 European adolescents (aged 12.

Do dietary patterns determine levels of vitamin B, folate, and vitamin B intake and corresponding biomarkers in European adolescents? The Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence (HELENA) study.

Objectives: To determine dietary patterns (DPs) and explain the highest variance of vitamin B, folate, and B intake and related concentrations among European adolescents.

Methods: A total of 2173 adolescents who participated in the Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence study met the eligibility criteria for the vitamin B intake analysis (46% boys) and 586 adolescents for the biomarkers analysis (47% boys). Two non-consecutive, 24-h, dietary recalls were used to assess the mean intakes.

Attention capacity in European adolescents: role of different health-related factors. The HELENA study.

Unlabelled: We compared the level of attention capacity between adolescents from the center and south of Europe. The study included 627 European adolescents (54% girls), aged 12.5-17.

Associations between insulin resistance and three B-vitamins in European adolescents: the HELENA study.

Objective: To assess whether adolescents with high body mass index (BMI), or fat mass index (FMI), in combination with insulin resistance (assessed with the Homeostatic Model Assessment [HOMA] index), had also lower blood vitamin B6, folate and vitamin B12 concentrations.

Methods And Materials: Six hundred and fifteen adolescents from the Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence (HELENA) study, with data on B-vitamins (both intakes and status), and BMI, FMI, HOMA, were selected. Intakes were assessed by two non-consecutive 24-h recalls.

Hemodynamic and Cardiorespiratory Predictors of Sport Rock Climbing Performance.

Differences in Oxygenation Kinetics Between the Dominant and Nondominant Flexor Digitorum Profundus in Rock Climbers.

Purpose: To examine differences in oxygenation kinetics in the nondominant and dominant flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) of rock climbers.

Methods: Participants were 28 sport climbers with a range of on-site abilities (6a+ to 8a French Sport). Using near-infrared spectroscopy, oxygenation kinetics of the FDP was assessed by calculating the time to half recovery (t) of the tissue-saturation index (TSI) after 3-5 min of ischemia.
