Published: August 2020

A number of studies have examined the association of the three major eating disorders - anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder - with metabolic syndrome, or with individual components of metabolic syndrome, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Present evidence suggests that anorexia nervosa confers no excess risk of metabolic syndrome and may be associated with lower risk of certain metabolic syndrome components, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. Bulimia nervosa shows associations with increased risk for metabolic syndrome components in some studies, but not in others. Binge-eating disorder, however, is strongly associated with increased risk for both metabolic syndrome and its components - and these associations appear to be mediated not only through elevated body weight, but also possible body-weight-independent factors. Given that binge-eating disorder is the most common eating disorder, treatment and prevention of metabolic syndrome in this group represents a significant clinical and public health challenge.

Background: To investigate the effectiveness of different bariatric metabolic surgeries in improving metabolic syndrome indicators in patients.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on obese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy + jejunojejunal bypass (LSG + JJB), and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Patients were categorized into groups based on their surgical procedure: LSG (N = 199), LSG + JJB (N = 242), and LRYGB (N = 288).

Aim: This study aimed to explore the possible bidirectional interrelations between fructose-induced metabolic syndrome (MS) and apical periodontitis (AP).

Methodology: Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were distributed into four groups (n = 7, per group): Control (C), AP, Fructose Consumption (FRUT) and Fructose Consumption and AP (FRUT+AP). The rats in groups C and AP received filtered water, while those in groups FRUT and FRUT+AP received a 20% fructose solution mixed with water to induce MS.

Post-COVID-19 Syndrome or long COVID (LC) is a novel public health crisis and, when persistent (>2 years), is a long-term condition. Post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE) is a characteristic symptom of LC and can be improved in a structured pacing rehabilitation programme. To evaluate the effect of an 8-week structured World Health Organisation (WHO) Borg CR-10 pacing protocol on PESE episodes, LC symptoms, and quality of life in a cohort of individuals with long-term LC.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Eating Disorders-A Literature Review.

J Clin Med

December 2024

Clinical Department of Gynecologic Surgery and Oncology, Wroclaw Medical University, Borowska 213, 50-556 Wroclaw, Poland.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age and is characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction and polycystic ovarian morphology. PCOS is often associated with hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction and comorbid psychiatric disorders, including eating disorders (EDs). The review identifies key hormonal factors-serotonin, leptin, insulin, ghrelin, kisspeptin and cortisol-and their roles in the pathophysiology of PCOS and associated psychiatric symptoms.

The connections between sarcopenia and various chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes (T2DM), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and liver disease have been highlighted recently. There is also a high occurrence of sarcopenia in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) patients, who are often disregarded. Both experimental and clinical findings suggest a complex, bidirectional relationship between MASLD and sarcopenia.
