Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between metabolic health, weight status, and physical fitness in 1,744 Japanese adolescents aged 13-14, measuring various fitness components and classifying participants by weight status.
- Results indicated that overweight adolescents with low handgrip strength (HG) were significantly more likely to have poor metabolic health, compared to non-overweight individuals with moderate to high fitness levels.
- Additionally, while low sit-up scores were also linked to metabolic risk, other fitness measures like the 20m shuttle run test (20mSRT) and standing long jump (SLJ) showed no significant association with metabolic health in overweight participants.
Background And Objectives: To clarify whether the presence or absence of fast walking and habitual physical activity are independently associated with the incidence of functional disability.
Methods: This historical cohort study was comprised of 9,652 (4,412 men, mean age 65 years) individuals aged 39-98 years without functional disability at baseline. Functional disability was determined based on the Japanese long-term care insurance system, which specified requirements for assistance in the activities of daily living.
Background: To determine the impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and/or metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which are pathophysiologically similar and include insulin resistance, on the development of new-onset cardiovascular disease with and without type 2 diabetes and according to sex.
Methods: This study included 570,426 individuals without a history of cardiovascular disease who were enrolled in a nationwide claims database from 2008 to 2016 and were classified by the presence or absence of MetS and/or MAFLD stratified by the presence or absence of type 2 diabetes and sex. The fatty liver index was used to determine the presence or absence of fatty liver that required a diagnosis of MAFLD.
Background: Some patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on insulin have poor glycemic control and require add-on therapy to reach target glucose values. Increased insulin doses or the addition of an oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) may improve glycemic control, but many patients fail to achieve target values. The aim of this study was to compare the treatment efficacy and safety of three different therapies in such patients.
