An anthropometric survey of approximately 2350 boys aged 1-8 years was conducted as part of a study of pre-school child growth. It was shown that there was no close relationship between obesity measured as fatness from the triceps skinfold and the development of heaviness as judged by weight-for-height. It is suggested that the study of obesity in children should involve classification into sub-groups identifiable as the heavy but not fat, the fat but not heavy and those who are both heavy and fat. This may help in understanding the nature of obesity and its implications in future disease.

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM) Program, Mass General Brigham, Harvard Medical School, Harvard Institutes of Medicine (HIM), Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is a potentially reversible condition but often goes unnoticed with the risk for end-stage liver disease.
Purpose: To opportunistically estimate SLD on lung screening chest computed tomography (CT) and investigate its prognostic value in heavy smokers participating in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST).
Material And Methods: We used a deep learning model to segment the liver on non-contrast-enhanced chest CT scans of 19,774 NLST participants (age 61.
Prevalence of Transaminitis and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease Among Young Indian Adults-A Population-Based Study.
J Clin Exp Hepatol
November 2024
Health Services Department, Govt of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram, India.
Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) with onset in youth may be more consequential for adverse outcomes than that detected later in adulthood. Transaminitis in the general population is a marker of the prevalence of MASLD. There are no previous community-based studies in Indian youth assessing the prevalence of transaminitis.

Identification of a novel heterozygous GPD1 missense variant in a Chinese adult patient with recurrent HTG-AP consuming a high-fat diet and heavy smoking.
BMC Med Genomics
January 2025
Department of Critical Care Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing University, No. 321 Zhongshan Road, Nanjing, 210008, Jiangsu Province, China.
Background: Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (GPD1) gene defect can cause hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), which usually occurs in infants. The gene defect has rarely been reported in adult HTG patients. In the present study, we described the clinical and functional analyses of a novel GPD1 missense variant in a Chinese adult patient with recurrent hypertriglyceridemia‑related acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP), consuming a high-fat diet and smoking heavily.
