Article Synopsis
- - The study examined urine levels of bisphenol A (BPA) in 89 individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 89 individuals with normal cognitive function (NCF) to explore a potential link between BPA exposure and cognitive disorders.
- - Results showed no significant differences in creatinine-adjusted urine BPA concentrations between the two groups; however, cognitive function assessed through the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) did show differences when split by BPA concentrations.
- - Further analysis indicated that education levels were the only factor independently associated with MCI, suggesting that while BPA exposure might be a concern, its levels alone are not a clear indicator of cognitive impairment and further research is needed.
The role of nutrition in the ageing process of the brain is pivotal. Therefore, the study aimed to compare eating habits, body composition and densitometric parameters between subjects with normal cognitive function (NCF) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A total of 95 subjects with NCF (74% of women) and 95 individuals with MCI (77% of women) aged 50-70 years were studied.

This systematic review evaluated the effect of folic acid supplementation on endothelial parameters and arterial stiffness in adults. The study protocol was registered with the PROSPERO database (CRD42021290195).

This meta-analysis compared the effect of endurance, strength and combined training on glucose, insulin metabolism and the lipid profile of overweight and obese adults. The Cochrane, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched to identify randomised trials assessing the effect of training intervention on fasting and 2 h glucose and insulin levels, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA), C-peptide, total cholesterol (TC), low- (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides (TG).
