[Risk of binge eating disorder (BED) in nutrition and dietetics consultations and its relationship with eating pattern].

Introduction: evidence has shown a relationship between obesity and binge eating disorder (BED) as well as differences in dietary pattern. The objective was to establish the risk of BED in nutrition and dietetics consultations (N&D) and its relationship with dietary pattern. Methods: a cross-sectional study in 113 people who attended the N&D clinic to lose weight.

Ethnicity Strongly Influences Body Fat Distribution Determining Serum Adipokine Profile and Metabolic Derangement in Childhood Obesity.

Body fat content and distribution in childhood is influenced by sex and puberty, but interethnic differences in the percentage and distribution of body fat also exist. The abdominal visceral/subcutaneous fat ratio has been the main feature of body fat distribution found to associate with the serum adipokine profile and metabolic derangement in adulthood obesity. This has also been assumed for childhood obesity despite the known singularities of this disease in the pediatric age in comparison to adults.

Sex, puberty, and ethnicity have a strong influence on growth and metabolic comorbidities in children and adolescents with obesity: Report on 1300 patients (the Madrid Cohort).

Background: The capacity to correctly assess insulin resistance and its role in further obesity-associated metabolic derangement in children is under debate, and its determinants remain largely unknown.

Objective: We investigated the association of the insulin secretion profile with other metabolic derangements and anthropometric features in children and adolescents with obesity, exploring the role of ethnicity.

Patients And Methods: Growth and metabolic features, including fasting insulin levels and insulin secretory profile in an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), were analyzed according to ethnicity in 1300 patients with obesity (75.

[Parental obesity is associated with the severity of childhood obesity and its comorbidities].

Introduction: The influence of parental obesity on their obese offsprings is acknowledged but insufficiently characterised.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective study of 800 obese patients (45.2% girls; age: 10.

[Influence of neonatal anthropometry on the comorbidities of the obese patient].

Introduction: Small for gestational age (SGA) newborns show an increased risk of several diseases such as short stature, childhood obesity, and metabolic comorbidities.

Patients And Methods: The study included 883 obese patients (47% females/53% males; mean age: 10.33±3.
