Article Synopsis
- - The study examined urine levels of bisphenol A (BPA) in 89 individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 89 individuals with normal cognitive function (NCF) to explore a potential link between BPA exposure and cognitive disorders.
- - Results showed no significant differences in creatinine-adjusted urine BPA concentrations between the two groups; however, cognitive function assessed through the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) did show differences when split by BPA concentrations.
- - Further analysis indicated that education levels were the only factor independently associated with MCI, suggesting that while BPA exposure might be a concern, its levels alone are not a clear indicator of cognitive impairment and further research is needed.
This study compared the anthropometric parameters of patients with fatty acid oxidation disorders (FAOD) and healthy controls, showing an increased prevalence of abnormal body weight (overweight and obesity) in the FAOD group. First, differences in BMI, BMI percentiles and z-scores, and weight and weight percentiles were compared in a cohort of 39 patients with FAOD and 156 healthy controls, as well as between patients born before and after the introduction of a populational newborn screening programme (NBS) in 2014 in Poland. We also performed a systematic literature review yielding 12 studies mentioning anthropometric parameters in 80 FAOD patients and 121 control subjects, followed by a meta-analysis of data from 8 studies and our cohort.

This study compared subjective and objective methods of measuring different categories of physical activity in non-depressed middle-aged subjects with normal cognitive function (NCF) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In total, 75 participants (NCF: = 48, MCI: = 27) were recruited and physical activity was assessed for seven days using the ActiGraph and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Anthropometric parameters, body compositions, resting metabolic rate, and energy expenditure were also assessed.
