It remains unclear how serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations relate to childhood bone health. We hypothesized that 25(OH)D was inversely associated with bone turnover biomarkers and positively associated with bone stiffness. Cross-sectional analyses were performed using data from participants (2-15-year-old, 51% boys) from the Identification and Prevention of Dietary- and Lifestyle-induced Health Effects in Children and Infants Study (IDEFICS)/I.

Purpose: It is assumed that sensory taste perception shapes food choices and impacts dietary intake. However, this has rarely been studied in free living subjects of different age-groups with standardised methods. The present study investigated the association of the ability to rank sweet and fat taste intensities with consumption frequency of sweet and fatty foods in children, adolescents and adults from eight European countries.

Article Synopsis
  • Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) commonly causes respiratory illnesses, especially severe in adults over 60 or those with chronic conditions; a study examined the cost-effectiveness of the RSVPreF3 vaccine for this age group in the US.* -
  • A multi-cohort Markov model compared outcomes of not vaccinating versus a one-time vaccination, estimating that vaccinating approximately 52.7 million older adults would save nearly 244,424 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) at a societal cost of about $4.5 billion over five years.* -
  • The analysis indicated that the adjuvanted RSVPreF3 vaccine is cost-effective, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (

Unlabelled: Physical activity measured by accelerometry (PA-accelerometry) is used as an indicator of physical capacity in chronic diseases. Currently, only fragmented age ranges of reference percentile curves are available for European children and adolescents. This study aimed to provide age- and sex-specific percentiles for physical activity measured by hip-worn accelerometry derived throughout the full age range of European children and adolescents.

Tuberculosis (TB) presents significant medical challenges, largely due to the genetic diversity of , which enhances the resilience and resistance of the pathogen to first-line treatments. In response to the global rise of drug-resistant TB, second-line antitubercular drugs like bedaquiline (BDQ), linezolid (LZD), and clofazimine (CFZ) have become critical treatment options. Understanding the molecular changes these drugs induce is essential for optimizing TB therapy.
