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
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
Predisposition to Obesity: Should We Target Those Most Susceptible?CURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 1 - Trang 35-41 - 2012
Nanna Julie Olsen, Erik Lykke Mortensen, Berit Lilienthal Heitmann
Obesity prevention should remain a priority, even if there is some suggestion that the epidemic may presently have reached a stable level. However, previous interventions have not been effective in preventing overweight and obesity, and at the same time studies suggest that some subgroups are more predisposed to future obesity. The purpose of this paper is to review interventions on obesity preven...... hiện toàn bộ
Faith-Based Institutions as Venues for Obesity PreventionCURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 6 - Trang 148-154 - 2017
Maria J. Maynard
The aim of this current narrative review is to critique the scope and value of recent studies with a focus on obesity-related health promotion in faith organizations. Electronic database searches, scanning of the reference lists of identified articles, and hand searching of journals for articles written in English and published in 2013–2016 revealed 16 studies. Half of the studies involved African...... hiện toàn bộ
Promoting Health-Enhancing Physical Activity: a State-of-the-art Review of Peer-Delivered InterventionsCURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 8 - Trang 341-353 - 2019
Ryan M. Hulteen, Katrina J. Waldhauser, Mark R. Beauchamp
In this review, we critically examined recent evidence pertaining to the efficacy of peer-delivered physical activity interventions. Peer-delivered interventions appear to represent an efficacious, although under-utilized, means of promoting health-enhancing physical activity, among diverse populations across the lifespan, and in different settings. Nevertheless, research has largely failed to ide...... hiện toàn bộ
Eating Behaviors and Weight Development in Obesity-Prone Children and the Importance of the Research of Albert J. StunkardCURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 5 - Trang 126-131 - 2016
Tanja V. E. Kral
Albert J. Stunkard, MD, was an internationally recognized leader and pioneer in the field of obesity and eating disorders research. He was also among the first scientists to study eating phenotypes and early life risk factors for childhood obesity at a time when childhood obesity prevalence rates were still comparatively low. The aim of this review is to highlight select findings from the work of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Changes in Bile Acid Metabolism, Transport, and Signaling as Central Drivers for Metabolic Improvements After Bariatric SurgeryCURRENT OBESITY REPORTS - Tập 8 - Trang 175-184 - 2019
Matthew G. Browning, Bernardo M. Pessoa, Jad Khoraki, Guilherme M. Campos
We review current evidence regarding changes in bile acid (BA) metabolism, transport, and signaling after bariatric surgery and how these might bolster fat mass loss and energy expenditure to promote improvements in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The two most common bariatric techniques, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), inc...... hiện toàn bộ
