Article Synopsis
- * The supplementation showed promising benefits for muscle strength, with high-quality studies confirming improvements, although many studies had a risk of bias.
- * No serious adverse effects were reported, but findings on health-related quality of life and other outcomes were inconsistent or limited.
Article Synopsis
- Excess body weight and other lifestyle factors like diet, inactivity, and stress are linked to chronic diseases, but can be modified through digital interventions.
- The DIRECTION study tests the effectiveness of adding healthcare guidance and peer support to an online wellness platform compared to self-guided use among individuals considered obese.
- Over 16 weeks, the experimental group participates in daily platform use and weekly support sessions, with outcomes focused on weight loss, dietary habits, physical activity, and changes in health-related behaviors.
Although adolescents with obesity have an increased risk of cardiometabolic disease, a subset maintains a healthy cardiometabolic profile. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors may determine cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to characterize the lifestyle behaviors of adolescents with obesity, compare differences between metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO), and assess associations between lifestyle behaviors and cardiometabolic profiles.

- * In females, significant changes were observed in reactance to height (Xc/H) increasing, while resistance to height (R/H) decreased across all age groups; FFM also increased notably in younger age brackets.
- * For males, both R/H and Xc/H showed decreases, and FFM increased throughout the ages studied, with phase angle (PhA) increasing in the oldest age group; the findings highlighted that changes in BI data differ between sexes.
Background: The metabolic load-capacity index (LCI), which represents the ratio of adipose to skeletal muscle tissue-containing compartments, is potentially associated with cardiometabolic diseases.
Objectives: To examine the associations between the LCI and cardiometabolic risk factors in children and youth with obesity.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including 10-18 years-old participants with a BMI of ≥95 .
