Aim: The role of infant nutrition in rapid weight gain (RWG) is not well understood. This study investigated associations between milk cereal drinks, early RWG, and later body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).

Methods: In total, 1333 children, from three communities in Western Sweden constituted the combined 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.

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.

Antipsychotics are drugs commonly prescribed to treat a variety of psychiatric conditions. They are classified as typical and atypical, depending on their affinity for dopaminergic and serotonergic receptors.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how traditional dietary assessments may fall short in accurately measuring children's intake of sweet and fatty snacks, which can contribute to obesity and health issues in childhood.
  • Researchers analyzed urine samples from children in two different cohorts to identify metabolite biomarkers that correlate with the consumption of snacks like chocolate, candy, and ice cream.
  • A total of 66 metabolites were linked to snack consumption, with associations found for specific types of snacks; however, many metabolites could not be specifically identified.
