Summary: This study examines the effects of peanut consumption on cardiometabolic health through a randomized controlled trial and meta-analysis. The results suggest that peanut intake is associated with lower triglyceride levels and improved cholesterol ratios in healthy individuals. However, peanut intake may lead to weight gain in individuals at high cardiometabolic risk.

Summary: Although most adolescents have access to smartphones, few of them use mobile health (mHealth) apps for health improvement, highlighting the apparent lack of interest in mHealth apps among adolescents. The objective was to obtain daily attrition rates among adolescents in an mHealth intervention to gain a deeper understanding of attrition patterns, including the role of motivational support, such as altruistic rewards, through analysis of app usage data.

Summary: This study found that PDE5 inhibitors can improve cardiac remodeling in male patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy, but not in female patients. Additionally, the use of this inhibitor also improves cardiovascular, metabolic, immune, and renal function in both sexes. However, further research is still needed to confirm whether Klotho and hsa-miR-199-5p are markers for T2DM complications.

Summary: This study examined the influence of wearable fitness trackers and meta-mindset interventions on activity adequacy mindsets (AAMs), affect, behavior, and health. Results showed that accurate step counts led to perceptions of more adequate and healthier activity, improved mental health and aerobic capacity, but also reduced functional health. Deflated step counts resulted in perceptions of more inadequate activity, unhealthy eating, negative affect, reduced self-esteem and mental health, and increased blood pressure and heart rate. Inflated step counts did not have an impact on AAM or most other outcomes. Participants receiving the meta-mindset intervention experienced improvement in AAM, affect, functional health, and self-reported physical activity.

Summary: The study found that in daily life, eating behaviors exhibit both compensatory and transfer processes, mostly occurring within the same behavior. A behavior change intervention to promote fruit and vegetable intake may increase other eating behaviors, but may reduce physical activity levels.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether mindfulness training, exercise, or both could improve cognitive function in older adults. However, the results showed that these interventions did not result in significant differences in improvement in episodic memory or executive function in older adults with subjective cognitive concerns.

Summary: This study explored the relationships between perceived stress, dietary behaviors, alcohol misuse, sleep quality and duration, and resilience among higher education students. Findings indicated that sleep quality mediated the impact of perceived stress on dietary behaviors and alcohol misuse, while resilience attenuated the link between perceived stress and dietary behaviors but not alcohol misuse. These results suggest that interventions focusing on sleep education and resilience training may be beneficial for students facing stressful events.

Summary: The study explores the complex relationships among perceived stress, maladaptive eating behaviors, sleep quality, dietary risk, and BMI among university students. The findings suggest that interventions targeting uncontrolled and emotional eating, as well as improving sleep quality, may be beneficial for reducing obesity among students in higher education.

Summary: The study found that the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the health behaviors of students in European countries and the USA more negatively than Asian countries. Decreased sleep quality was associated with increased dietary risk, while improved sleep quality was linked to less sitting time. Therefore, addressing sleep issues among higher education students is crucial.
