Article Synopsis
- * Researchers reviewed 2226 studies and included 46 that examined various pathways leading to ED, primarily highlighting that negative emotions, obsession with weight/shape, and experiences of weight stigma played significant roles in this development.
- * The findings suggest that the roots of ED in people with overweight and obesity are complex and involve over 18 different factors, emphasizing the need for more research, particularly in underrepresented groups such as boys and diverse populations, to enhance early intervention strategies.
Article Synopsis
- * 134 participants lost an average of 5.5 kg during the program, though 95% reported experiencing side-effects, most commonly hunger and fatigue.
- * While many found the diet helpful for weight loss, they also noted its restrictive nature and taste issues; future research may identify which adolescents benefit the most from such diets.
Article Synopsis
- X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is an epigenetic phenomenon where one X chromosome in females is silenced, differing between eutherian (random silencing) and marsupial mammals (always paternal silencing).
- In eutherians, the inactive X shows high DNA methylation at key sites, while marsupials have lower methylation levels on the paternal X.
- The study focused on the tammar wallaby's X chromosome during sperm development, finding that the paternal X has a DNA methylation profile similar to the inactive X in female tissues, suggesting it may serve as an imprint for paternal XCI in marsupials.
Importance: Depression and eating disorders are heightened for adolescents with obesity. Clinical reviews alongside self-report questionnaires are important to ensure appropriate intervention.
Objective: To evaluate changes in self-report symptoms of depression, eating disorders, and binge eating in adolescents with obesity during the Fast Track to Health trial.
Importance: Adolescent obesity requires effective and accessible treatment. Intensive dietary interventions have the potential to be used as adjunctive therapy for behavioral weight management.
Objective: To examine the effectiveness of 2 diet therapies, delivered as part of an intensive behavioral weight management intervention, in adolescents with metabolic complications associated with obesity.
