Incidence of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Community-Dwelling Adults Aged 18-64 Years Over 2 Seasons, 2022-2024, in a North American Community.

Background: The incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-acute respiratory infection (ARI) in community-dwelling adults after the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown. Our aim was to assess the incidence of RSV-ARI in adults aged 18 to 64 years over 2 consecutive RSV seasons (October-April 2022-2024) in 4 US states.

Methods: This community-based prospective cohort study comprised 7501 participants in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, and Arizona.

Association between television in bedroom and adiposity throughout adolescence.

Objective: The objective was to determine if having a television (TV) in the bedroom is associated with physical activity (PA), TV/video viewing, and adiposity throughout adolescence.

Research Methods And Procedures: Longitudinal data (September 2002 through June 2005) were analyzed of 379 initially 12-year-old French adolescents participating as controls in the Intervention Centered on Adolescents' Physical activity and Sedentary behavior (ICAPS). Presence of a TV set in the bedroom (TV(bedroom)) and leisure activities were obtained by questionnaire.

Diet and physical activity profiles in French preadolescents.

Dietary patterns have been identified in adults, but less is known about children and adolescents. For the first time, we have investigated lifestyle patterns combining diet and physical activity in 12-year-old French preadolescents and examined their association with sociodemographic factors. Physical activity, sedentary activities and dietary habits were assessed by questionnaires given to 2724 students in 2001.

Plasma fatty acid composition is associated with the metabolic syndrome and low-grade inflammation in overweight adolescents.

Background: Together with adiposity, plasma fatty acid (FA) composition can modulate the development of the metabolic syndrome (MS).

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the relations of FA composition in plasma phospholipids and cholesterol esters (CEs) with weight status, MS, and inflammation in adolescents.

Design: Plasma FA composition was measured by gas-liquid chromatography in 120 (60 normal-weight and 60 overweight) 12-y-old adolescents.
