Summary: This study demonstrates that a 3-month moderate exercise program can improve or prevent dysmetabolism in older adults, especially for those who are overweight. However, prolonged combined nutritional and exercise interventions will be needed if dysmetabolism is already present.

Summary: In this study, long-term weight loss with exenatide treatment was similar to that achieved with a hypocaloric diet in a population of early high responders. Weight loss at 3 months of treatment predicted super responder status in both treatment groups, with individual variability observed in weight loss outcomes.

Summary: Childbearing decreases HDL-cholesterol, potentially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women. This study found that both dietary and exercise treatments had effects on HDL-P subclasses in lactating women with overweight/obesity, possibly associated with lower CVD risk.

Summary: A 12-week randomized trial compared the effects of low-carbohydrate (LC) and calorie-restricted (CR) diets on weight loss and metabolic risk factors. The combination of restricting carbohydrate and total calorie intake was more effective in reducing BMI, body weight, and metabolic risk factors than LC or CR diet alone.

Summary: The study found that weight-loss induced with a low-carbohydrate-high-fat diet with or without exercise effectively reduced weight, improved body composition, and lowered total cholesterol and triglycerides. Exercise played a positive role in improving body composition and cardiovascular risk factors.

Summary: Arterial stiffness, an early indicator of increased cardiovascular disease risk, can be modified by dietary habits. A caloric-restricted diet in obese patients enhances aortic distensibility and decreases pulse wave velocity (PWV). High intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA), trans fats, and cholesterol impairs endothelial function and raises brachial-ankle PWV, while replacing SFA with monounsaturated (MUFA) or polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from seafood and plants decreases the risk of arterial stiffness. Consuming dairy products (except butter), complex carbohydrates with a low glycemic index, and a Mediterranean diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and minimal red meat intake can help prevent arterial stiffness.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of aerobic training and diet program versus diet only on sex hormones and coagulation biomarkers in obese postmenopausal women. The results showed that aerobic exercise along with a balanced diet significantly improved sex hormone levels and coagulation markers, reducing the potential risk of cardiovascular disease.

Summary: We observed partially distinct diet-gut microbiota-metabolism and inflammation responses in overweight and obese pregnant women. In overweight women, gut microbiota community composition and the relative abundance of A. finegoldii were associated with an inflammatory status. In obese women, a higher dietary quality was related to a higher gut microbiota diversity and a healthy inflammatory status.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effects of CRD on weight loss and metabolic status in hospitalized obese women with schizophrenia. The results showed that adherence to CRD significantly reduced body weight, body composition, and total cholesterol levels, but had no significant impact on metabolic parameters.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of time-restricted eating (TRE) versus standard dietary advice (SDA) on bone health. The results showed that TRE had no detrimental effects on bone health in the overall population, but in weight loss responders, it was associated with some bone-sparing effects compared with SDA.

Summary: The study found that high protein supplementation alongside mild energy restriction can lead to a reduction in visceral fat and stimulate gut microbiota amino acid metabolism. Additionally, microbial diversity increased in individuals with a low gene count, and the decrease in weight, fat mass, and visceral fat mass significantly correlated with the increase in microbial diversity.

Summary: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a pregnancy complication with potential health consequences for both mother and child. Diet and exercise are the primary treatment options, but it remains uncertain which diet is most effective. The iNDIGO study aims to investigate whether a healthy Nordic diet can improve glucose control in women with GDM.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether dietary manipulation affects body composition in patients with RA. The results showed that a Mediterranean-style diet improved body composition in non-employed patients, and the overall group showed improvement regardless of dietary allocation, suggesting the potential of dietary manipulation in treating rheumatoid cachexia.

Summary: Circulating levels of acylcarnitines (ACs) are influenced by various factors such as age, sex, diet, and fasting status. Different types of ACs are associated with corresponding fatty acids in plasma, specific food intake, and concentrations of branched-chain amino acids. Understanding the determinants of ACs can help interpret their associations with disease risk and provide insights into potential dietary and lifestyle factors for disease prevention.

Summary: This study investigated the habitual dietary energy and nutrient intake in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) residing in southwestern Sweden. The results showed that the participants had a high intake of total fat and saturated fatty acids, while their intake of carbohydrates, fiber, and several micronutrients was below recommendations. This indicates a potential need for dietary interventions and guidance for patients with RA to ensure a balanced and nutritious diet.

Summary: A study on patients with rheumatoid arthritis found that consuming blue mussels, which are rich in n-3 fatty acids, led to significant changes in certain oxylipin levels, but did not have a noticeable impact on inflammation. Further research is needed to investigate the relationship between n-3 fatty acid intake, blood oxylipins, and inflammation.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the associations between adherence to a healthy Nordic diet and plasma concentrations of metabolites of the choline oxidation pathway. The results showed linear relationships between a healthy Nordic diet and plasma concentrations of choline, betaine, serine, and total homocysteine. Although these relationships were statistically significant, the effect sizes were moderate.

Summary: There is a moderate to high prevalence of insufficient vitamin D status among pregnant women in Norway. Vitamin D intake is mainly from supplements, fish, and fortified margarine. Factors associated with higher 25OHD concentrations include season, use of solarium, income, weight, age, food intake, smoking during pregnancy, education, and energy intake. Adequate vitamin D intake can achieve sufficient 25OHD concentrations during months without dermal synthesis of vitamin D.

Summary: Studies have found that women with RA tend to avoid red meat more often than women without RA. This study aimed to compare the metabolic response after consuming a red meat meal in patients with RA and a control group. The results showed that the concentration of phenylalanine was significantly higher in both fasting and postprandial samples of women with RA compared to controls.
