Introduction: Previous studies have suggested an association between beta-cell and autonomic function and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). We explored the association between controlled attenuated parameter (CAP) and insulin secretion and action, as well as sympathetic and parasympathetic activity in normal (NGT) and impaired (IGT) glucose tolerance.
Research Design And Methods: Twenty-five NGT (age 44.
Aim: The study aimed to investigate a lipid profile in people with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), NGT and 1hrOGTT > 8.6 mmol/l, and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT); and to assess its association with some cardio-metabolic parameters.
Material And Methods: A total of 90 subjects, of mean age 46.
Article Synopsis
- Screen time among children in Europe is influenced by various factors, including parents' sociodemographic characteristics and socioeconomic status.
- A study involving over 12,000 parents and children found that mothers with higher education, those in the middle age group, and families with higher incomes tend to have children with less than 2 hours of daily screen time.
- Conversely, maternal overweight/obesity and lower physical activity in kids were linked to increased screen time, suggesting that interventions should focus on helping low-income families and less-educated mothers.
The objective of this study was to investigate how the availability of food in the household environment is associated with a daily intake of regular and diet soft drinks in European children, considering BMI status. This cross-sectional study utilised baseline data from 12 211 schoolchildren participating in the Feel4Diabetes European lifestyle modification intervention. Sociodemographics, soft drink intake and household food availability data were collected using parent-completed questionnaires.

Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) and artificially sweetened beverage (ASB) consumption has become common practice at home and during family meals. The objective of this study was to investigate associations of parenting practices and home digital media availability with beverage intake in European schoolchildren of different weight groups.
