Article Synopsis
- * A study comparing liver fat content in 95 IBD patients and 53 healthy individuals found that IBD patients had significantly higher liver fat levels, with particularly elevated levels in those with ulcerative colitis.
- * Ulcerative colitis was identified as an independent risk factor for hepatic steatosis, showing more than a 4-fold increase for mild and 7-fold increase for moderate/severe steatosis when compared to healthy controls.
Background And Aim: Most studies focused on the benefits of weight loss on hepatic steatosis and no studies have been specifically designed to assess the role of weight gain on the development of liver steatosis in patients affected by inflammatory bowel diseases. The aim of this study was to analyse the relation between weight change over time and liver steatosis in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a population of 89 ambulatory patients in clinical remission or affected by mild disease, as determined from disease activity indices, with at least one follow-up visit.
Purpose: Although the role of dietary factors in the prevention of bone loss and fractures has been investigated in many studies, few studies have examined the association between dietary patterns and total body bone density. Our aim was to determine the relations between dietary patterns and whole-body bone mineral density (WB-BMD) and the association between dietary patterns, fractures, and multiple fractures in the elderly.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 177 individuals aged ≥65 years.
Background: It is known that the association between LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the elderly is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate this issue using carotid intima-media thickness as a marker of cardiovascular disease.
Methods: Women aged 35-79 years were consecutively enrolled in the study.
Article Synopsis
- A study explored the difference in resting energy expenditure (REE) between 26 vegetarians and 26 non-vegetarians, finding that vegetarians have a higher REE.
- This research involved matched participants and examined various factors like body composition, nutrient intake, and inflammatory markers.
- Results indicated that a vegetarian diet, along with specific nutrients like vegetable fats, contributes positively to REE and is linked with inflammatory markers like interleukin-10 (IL-10).
