Efforts to optimize the diet in terms of prevention and treatment of obesity aim at long-term adaptation and reduction of energy intake according to age and physiological requirements while preserving the nutrient density with consideration of individual food preferences.As the nutritional habits of the average Austrian people are unfavorable for obesity prevention there is a clear need for action. Women are "disadvantaged" in weight control compared to men in terms of physiological conditions-and are confronted with specific needs during life course (e.g. pregnancy), whereas the average man or male adolescents present "unhealthier" behaviors and attitudes and are (still) less interested on nutrition or weight control.To achieve better nutrition a target-group specific, gender-sensitive guidance of the individual is needed, starting with pregnant women, but also habitat-oriented interventions for improved nutrition offers, which have to be sustainably assured through the support of a relevant legal and social framework.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive validity and discriminatory ability of clinical outcomes, inflammatory activity, oxidative and vascular damage, and metabolic mechanisms for detecting significant improve maximum heart rate after physical activity training in individuals with psychiatric disorders and obesity comorbid using a longitudinal design and transdiagnostic perspective.
Methods: Patients with major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and, schizophrenia and with comorbid obesity (n = 29) were assigned to a 12-week structured physical exercise program. Peripheral blood biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular mechanisms, and metabolic activity, as well as neurocognitive and functional performance were assessed twice, before and after intervention.

Background: Obesity and ageing individually pose significant challenges to global public health, leading to preventable deaths. With an increasing geriatric population due to improved medical interventions, the intersection of these health issues becomes a critical concern worldwide. Both developed and developing countries grapple with the consequences of obesity, a major risk factor for various conditions like cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dementia, and neuropsychiatric diseases.

Background: Nutrition and other lifestyle interventions hold promise for reducing dementia risk; however, significant barriers remain in translating these programs and recommendations to individuals at the greatest risk. We discuss application of the NIH Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trials (ORBIT) to the development and tailoring of a nutrition program for high-risk older adults.
Method: A mixed methods approach was used to evaluate factors that contribute to adherence and engagement with the nutrition program.
Effect of BMI and symptoms at celiac disease diagnosis on serology normalization after 2 years of a gluten-free diet in children.

Objectives: To determine if after 2 years of consuming a gluten-free diet post celiac disease diagnosis, pediatric patients who were overweight or obese at diagnosis are less likely to normalize celiac disease serologies as compared with those who were normal weight or underweight at diagnosis. Secondary aims include characterizing how initial symptoms at presentation predict body mass index (BMI) change and serology improvement over the first 2 years of being on a gluten-free diet following diagnosis of celiac disease.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed that included all biopsy-proven celiac disease patients followed at Stony Brook Children's Hospital's Celiac Disease Center diagnosed between the years 2007-2022.
