Summary: This study examines the association between skipping breakfast and prediabetes among adolescents in Japan. The findings suggest that skipping breakfast is significantly associated with prediabetes, especially among overweight adolescents. Therefore, promoting the avoidance of skipping breakfast may help prevent prediabetes.

Summary: This study explored the sedentary behavior of Chinese children and adolescents and its relationship with poor vision. The results showed that the average sedentary time per day for Chinese children and adolescents was about 8.1 hours, with studying being the most common sedentary behavior. There were significant differences in sedentary time across different grades, sexes, and regions, with girls and students from East China having higher sedentary time. Limiting sedentary behaviors and the use of electronics can effectively reduce sedentary time and improve vision health.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between psychosocial stress and inflammation in obese children and adolescents, finding associations between emotional eating, external eating, attachment anxiety, and higher CRP values. The research also demonstrated that lifestyle intervention can reduce inflammation, with the decrease in inflammatory marker being influenced by psychosocial variables, particularly attachment avoidance.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of leisure-time sedentary behaviors on excessive weight in different age groups in the Chinese population. The findings suggest that screen-based sedentary leisure time has a greater impact on excessive weight in middle-aged and older adults. Internet and video game sedentary time was significantly associated with excessive weight in middle-aged adults, while television and video sedentary time was significantly associated with excessive weight in older adults.

Summary: Research shows that breakfast skipping increases with age and is associated with a high risk of overweight, obesity, cardiometabolic risk, and unhealthy dietary habits. Interventions in children and adolescents have shown that multi-level approaches can effectively reduce breakfast skipping, while breakfast skippers tend to have higher rates of obesity and lower quality dietary intake.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of breakfast skipping among children and adolescents in Australia. The results showed that skipping breakfast is more common than previously thought, particularly among females, senior grade students, and those from socioeconomically disadvantaged and remote areas. Understanding the factors driving breakfast skipping in different population sub-groups is crucial for developing effective strategies to promote breakfast consumption.

Summary: Skipping breakfast may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and adverse cardiovascular outcomes, but it is important to consider other factors when interpreting the data. Current research suggests that skipping breakfast may lead to weight gain, while adding breakfast may be beneficial for those aiming for calorie restriction.

Summary: Resistance training has been found to improve bioelectrical properties, including phase angle (PhA), resistance (R), and reactance (Xc), in older adults. The meta-analysis showed that resistance training increased PhA, increased Xc, and decreased R. These findings have important implications for health and anti-aging in older adults.

Summary: The study analyzed the association between sports practice in childhood and adolescence and cardiovascular risk factors in adulthood. It found that early sports practice was associated with a lower prevalence of obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension in adulthood. This suggests that engaging in sports practice early in life has a protective effect on cardiovascular health in adulthood.

Summary: This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the impact of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of infants from NICU hospitalization to one year post-discharge. The study found that lower HRQL during NICU stay was associated with earlier gestational age, postnatal corticosteroid usage, outborn status, and gastrostomy tube placement. Lower HRQL at 3 and 12 months post-discharge was associated with readmissions, home oxygen use, parent-reported difficulty breathing, lower developmental scores, and not playing with other children. Most parents reported similar or improved HRQL after discharge, but parents of infants with respiratory symptoms experienced less improvement. Efforts to improve parent HRQL should focus on respiratory symptoms and social isolation.

Summary: This study aims to determine if children with elbow flexion contracture (EFC) caused by brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) are more likely to develop shoulder contracture and undergo surgical treatment. A retrospective review was conducted on children under 2 years old with BPBI who presented to a single children's hospital. The results showed that patients with EFC had reduced shoulder range of motion and higher odds of shoulder contracture and surgical treatment. Prompt referral to a BPBI specialty clinic is recommended for evaluation and potential surgery.
