Through the analysis of data from children aged 6 months to 8 years enrolled in the Vitamin D Antenatal Asthma Reduction Trial (VDAART), significant simultaneous associations were identified between variants in the fragile histidine triad () gene, children's body mass index, microbiome features related to obesity, and key lipids and amino acids. These patterns represent evidence of the genotype influence in shaping the host microbiome in developing stages and new potential biomarkers for childhood obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.

Serum miR-365b-5p/miR-222-5p as a potential diagnostic biomarker for long-term weight loss in patients with morbid obesity after bariatric surgery.

Metabolism

Background: The successful weight loss following bariatric surgery is not achieved in all patients with morbid obesity (MO). This study aims to determine whether a serum miRNA profile can predict this outcome.

Design: Thirty-three patients with MO were classified in "Good Responders" (GR, percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) ≥ 50 %) or "Non-Responders" (NR, %EWL < 50 %) according to the %EWL 5-8 year following bariatric surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • Hemoglobin and hematocrit are common tests to identify anemia, but their results can differ significantly, particularly in children and pregnant individuals.
  • The study analyzed data from 7,052 children and 1,437 pregnant persons, revealing that anemia estimates based on hemoglobin and hematocrit varied, with a notable percentage detected by only one test.
  • The findings suggest that using these biomarkers interchangeably could lead to underdiagnosis and lack of treatment for anemia, emphasizing the need for accurate assessments in clinical practice.

Obesity is a risk factor of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic complications, through systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. It has also been associated with increased bone marrow adipocytes along with increased bone fragility and fracture risk. However, the differential effects of obesity and T2D on bone fragility remain unclear.

Age-Specific Effect and Pathways of Risk Factors on the Risk of Incident Type 2 Diabetes: A 13-Year Prospective Cohort Study.

Diabetes Metab Res Rev

January 2025

Department of Epidemiology, Beijing Neurosurgical Institute, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Aim: To assess risk profiles and pathways for incident type 2 diabetes by age at onset.

Materials And Methods: Based on the Kailaun study, 92,020 participants without type 2 diabetes were enrolled and classified into four age-onset groups as < 55, 55 to < 65, 65 to < 75, and ≥ 75 years. Clinical risk factors and serum biomarkers were examined.
