Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is among adolescents in Western Austria and its relationship with arterial stiffness, which indicates early vascular ageing.
- Researchers examined liver fat content in 1,292 Austrian adolescents using advanced ultrasound technology and measured arterial stiffness through a specific pulse wave measurement, alongside assessing various cardiovascular risk factors.
- While MASLD was identified in 4.8% of the participants, the results indicated that liver fat and MASLD were not strong independent predictors of early vascular ageing; however, knowing liver fat levels can help identify adolescents at risk for cardiovascular issues.
Background & Aims: Individuals who survive critical illness are often malnourished with inadequate oral nutrient intake after leaving the intensive care unit (ICU). Enteral nutrition (EN) improves nutrient intake but there is limited evidence on the impact of maintaining EN after discharge from the ICU. The objective of this exploratory study was to understand the association between EN maintenance after ICU and 30-day unplanned hospital re-admission, to inform on future prospective research into the effects of post-ICU nutrition.

Methods: This study is part of the Early Vascular Ageing in the YOUth study, a single-center cross-sectional study conducted in western Austria. Maternal and neonatal factors were extracted from the mother-child booklet, adolescent factors were evaluated by a face-to-face interview, physical examination, and fasting blood analyses.
Unlabelled: The objectives of this study were to develop age- and sex-specific reference percentiles for fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) in adolescents aged 14 to 19 years and to determine differences in overweight/obesity classification by FMI and body mass index (BMI). The EVA4YOU study is a single-center cross-sectional study conducted in western Austria. Cardiovascular risks including anthropometric measurements and bioelectrical impedance analysis were assessed in adolescents (mean age 17 years).
