The aim of this study was to estimate the association between egg consumption and body composition indicators and to examine whether this relationship is mediated by protein intake in young adults.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 355 first-year university students (aged 18-30 years) from a Spanish public university.

"Fat but Fit" Paradox and Cardiometabolic Risk in Children: The Role of Physical Activity.

The "" paradigm suggests that high fitness levels counteract the negative consequences of obesity on cardiometabolic risk, nevertheless, this paradigm has been less studied in children. To analyze the relationship between "" categories and cardiometabolic risk factors in school children, and to examine whether the intensity of physical activity (PA) is related with the fat but fit (FF) category in which the child is classified. We analyzed the baseline measurements of 312 school children aged 9-11 years involved in the clinical trial MOVI-daFit!, including adiposity parameters (BMI, waist circumference, and body fat mass percentage), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), blood pressure parameters, PA, and biochemical parameters (blood lipid profile, insulin, C-reactive protein, and glycosylated hemoglobin).
