Insights into the Link Between Obesity and CancerCURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 6 - Trang 195-203 - 2017
Sarah E. Ackerman, Olivia A. Blackburn, François Marchildon, Paul Cohen
Adipocytes have adapted to store energy in the form of lipid and also secrete circulating factors called adipokines that signal to other tissues to coordinate energy homeostasis. These functions are disrupted in the setting of obesity, promoting the development of diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Obesity is linked to an increased risk of many types of cancer and incre...... hiện toàn bộ
Obesity Prevention for Children with Developmental DisabilitiesCURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 3 - Trang 156-170 - 2014
Aviva Must, Carol Curtin, Kristie Hubbard, Linmarie Sikich, James Bedford, Linda Bandini
The prevention of obesity in children with DD is a pressing public health issue, with implications for health status, independent living, and quality of life. Substantial evidence suggests that children with developmental disabilities (DD), including those with intellectual disabilities (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), have a prevalence of obesity at least as high if not higher than their ...... hiện toàn bộ
Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency and Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Metabolic Complications in Obesity: a ReviewCURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 4 - Trang 429-440 - 2015
Louise Wamberg, Steen B. Pedersen, Lars Rejnmark, Bjørn Richelsen
Obese subjects are often characterized by low plasma 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25OHD) levels. Many explanations for this association have been proposed. Low plasma 25OHD is associated with obesity-related comorbidities such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and low-grade inflammation. In this review, we discuss the proposed mechanisms for low 25OHD in obesity and explore the results of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Beyond Physical Activity: The Importance of Play and Nature-Based Play Spaces for Children’s Health and DevelopmentCURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 4 - Trang 477-483 - 2015
Susan Herrington, Mariana Brussoni
The reduction of child obesity continues to be a challenge worldwide. Research indicates that playing outdoors, particularly in natural play spaces, boosts children’s physical activity, potentially decreasing childhood obesity. We present evidence that natural play spaces also provide for more diverse forms of play for children of varying ages and competencies. This is crucial because play spaces ...... hiện toàn bộ

Social Inequalities in Obesity Persist in the Nordic Region Despite Its Relative Affluence and EquityCURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 1-15 - 2014
Maria Magnusson, Thorkild I. A. Sørensen, Steingerður Ólafsdóttir, Susanna Lehtinen-Jacks, Turid Lingaas Holmen, Berit Lilienthal Heitmann, Lauren Lissner
Abstract
Social inequalities in overweight and obesity (OWOB) have persisted in the affluent and reputedly egalitarian Nordic countries. In this review we examine associations between socioeconomic position (SEP) and OWOB, and secular trends in such associations. Determinants and possible causes of the relations are discussed together with opportunities t...... hiện toàn bộ
Ambient Temperature and ObesityCURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 1 - Trang 26-34 - 2012
Douglas R. Moellering, Daniel L. Smith
Homeotherms maintain an optimal body temperature that is most often above their environment or ambient temperature. As ambient temperature decreases, energy expenditure (and energy intake) must increase to maintain thermal homeostasis. With the widespread adoption of climate control, humans in modern society are buffered from temperature extremes and spend an increasing amount of time in a thermal...... hiện toàn bộ
