Summary: Maternal lipid metabolism during pregnancy, especially in late pregnancy, is highly correlated with neonatal adiposity. Late pregnancy basal and clamp glycerol turnover (GLYTO) are significantly associated with neonatal adiposity and explain around 40% of the variation.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between adiposity, insulin resistance, cardiorespiratory fitness, and bone mass in Hispanic youth. The findings suggest that adiposity is negatively related to bone mass, and this relationship is partially mediated by insulin resistance, while cardiorespiratory fitness may attenuate it.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of increased protein intake on bone turnover in individuals with abdominal obesity. The results showed that 12 weeks of increased whey protein intake did not significantly affect bone turnover markers, although there was a tendency to increase parathyroid hormone levels. Dietary fiber intake did not impact bone turnover. The study also found a positive association between insulin resistance and parathyroid hormone changes.

Summary: The associations between individual components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and bone health in children are complex, and data on this topic are sparse and inconsistent. In prepubertal girls, insulin resistance exerts a dominant negative impact on bone resorption, and inflammation factor CRP is weakly related to bone resorption in girls.

Summary: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with increased fracture risk. This study aimed to explore differences in bone alterations between women with type 2 diabetes and controls, and to identify clinical predictors of bone impairment in type 2 diabetes. The results showed that type 2 diabetes patients had a lower normal bone category and their bone status was correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and vitamin D levels.

Summary: Vitamin D status is closely related to insulin resistance and bone metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes. Decreased vitamin D levels increase insulin resistance and enhance bone turnover, increasing the risk of osteoporosis in non-osteoporosis patients with type 2 diabetes.

Summary: Saturated FFAs, such as palmitate, circulating in the body can cause ER stress and insulin resistance. In this study, it was found that palmitate treatment reduced insulin-mediated glucose uptake and ERK phosphorylation in Huh-7 cells, while AKT phosphorylation remained unchanged. Supplementation of oleate alleviated palmitate-induced ER stress but did not affect insulin-mediated glucose uptake or ERK phosphorylation.

Summary: This study identified an association between fatty liver and elevated intraocular pressure (EIOP), finding that fatty liver is independently associated with EIOP. Fatty liver primarily affects EIOP through a direct effect on intraocular pressure. Evaluation of EIOP should be considered in patients with fatty liver.

Summary: The study found that hyperandrogenemia in women at ages 31 and 46 was associated with increased insulin resistance and insulin secretion, independently of BMI. Additionally, high testosterone levels and free androgen index were linked to a higher risk of abnormal glucose metabolism, while low levels of SHBG were inversely associated with AGM.

Summary: The study found that circulating sTWEAK levels were higher in patients with OSAS compared to those with HSS, with higher levels seen in severe OSAS patients compared to mild to moderate OSAS patients. sTWEAK levels were significantly correlated with AHI values, while showing no association with glucose metabolism and visceral fat ratio. This suggests that increased sTWEAK concentrations are linked to the severity of OSAS.

Summary: The study found that impaired regulation of glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in childhood have adverse effects on bone turnover, particularly on bone resorption. Hyperglycemia significantly decreased bone resorption marker levels in boys but had no effect on girls, who showed higher bone formation than resorption. Insulin resistance significantly decreased bone resorption, especially in girls.

Summary: HSP47 is identified as a key determinant of body adiposity, with abundant expression in adipose tissue. It is influenced by factors such as diet, exercise, hormones, and genetics. HSP47 affects body fat levels through its role in collagen dynamics, FAK signaling, and protection of PPAR gamma protein.

Summary: The circulating levels of miR-128-1-5p are related to the regulation of body fat, insulin resistance, and energy metabolism. Changes in miR-128-1-5p levels are associated with improvements in insulin resistance and adiposity after weight-loss diet interventions, and the associations are modified by habitual physical activity and dietary macronutrient intake.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanisms of impaired fracture healing associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). The findings showed that both hyperinsulinemia and insulinopenia delayed bone healing. Hyperinsulinemia resulted in reduced newly formed bone, increased accumulation of marrow adipocytes and senescent cells, while insulinopenia had a more pronounced effect on bone healing. Additionally, serum from obese and T2D subjects inhibited osteoblast differentiation and enhanced adipocyte differentiation in human bone marrow stromal cells.

Summary: The study found that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and gastric sleeve surgery (GS) may lead to ongoing decrease in bone density, especially in the total hip and forearm. In contrast, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and diet control groups did not show significant bone density loss over the course of 36 months.

Natural language processing can identify previously unrecognized patients by screening large volumes of radiology reports. The results show that XRAIT is able to identify fractures faster than traditional methods.

Summary: The study found that individuals with type 2 diabetes have a significantly increased mortality risk following fractures. This risk is particularly high for those with diabetes duration of more than 5 years and experiencing hip/vertebral fractures (in men) or non-hip non-vertebral fractures (in women). Therefore, careful monitoring and management after fractures are crucial for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Summary: Muscle strength and physical performance are associated with the risk of subsequent fracture and postfracture mortality. Low muscle strength and poor physical performance are related to higher postfracture mortality risk, while index measurements are not associated with subsequent fracture.

Summary: Fracture liaison services (FLS) are effective in preventing secondary fractures. This study evaluated whether FLS care is associated with reduced subsequent fracture and mortality risk over a 3-year follow-up period. The results showed that FLS care was associated with a lower mortality risk and lower subsequent major/hip fracture risk in the first year for patients with a major/hip index fracture, but not for patients with a non-major/non-hip fracture.

Summary: This study investigated the association between multimorbidity and osteoporosis investigation and treatment in fracture patients, and found that multimorbidity significantly impacted the treatment of osteoporosis. This suggests that fracture risk may be underestimated or underprioritized in the presence of other chronic conditions, highlighting the need for improved fracture care in these patients.

The findings suggest that individuals with high PRS are at a greater risk of fractures, especially hip fractures. The study highlights the potential significance of incorporating the polygenic risk score into personalized fracture risk assessment.

Summary: The concept of "Skeletal Age" is introduced to convey the combined risk of fracture and fracture-associated mortality. Skeletal Age is defined as the sum of chronological age and the number of years of life lost associated with a fragility fracture. The study found that men tend to lose more years of life after a fragility fracture than women, and hip fractures result in the greatest loss of life years.

The trial will evaluate the impact of the HMR service on patients' intake of sedative/anticholinergic drugs, adherence to antiosteoporosis medications, and other secondary outcomes.

Summary: This study examined the impact of three types of bariatric surgery compared with dietary intervention on changes in insulin resistance and appetite hormones over 3 years. The results showed that all surgical groups experienced significant reductions in insulin resistance, with the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass showing the greatest difference at 12-36 months. Furthermore, the increase in postprandial PYY and adiponectin was associated with improvements in insulin resistance during weight stability.
