Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of dairy foods on weight retention and risk of obesity in postpartum women. The results showed that higher yogurt and cheese intakes were associated with less postpartum weight retention, and among higher risk women, greater yogurt intake was associated with lower risks of postpartum obesity.

Summary: The study found that maternal adherence to a protein-rich dietary pattern during pregnancy was associated with lower infant body mass index z-scores and a lower risk of overweight and obesity, while adherence to a vegetable-fruit-rice dietary pattern was associated with increased infant BMI and obesity risk. The results suggest that different maternal dietary patterns may have varying effects on infant weight and obesity status.

Summary: Maternal characteristics such as gestational weight gain, pre-pregnancy BMI, exercise habits, age, race, education level, and job status during pregnancy are associated with postpartum weight retention 24 months after delivery. Identifying and addressing these factors may help in developing public health interventions to support maternal weight management postpartum.

Summary: Comparing different exercise modalities combined with diet intervention on body composition in overweight and obese adults, the study found that the combined strength and endurance group had lower levels of fat mass percentage both immediately after intervention and 3 years later compared to the other groups.

Summary: In a study of 503 women with uncomplicated pregnancies, maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG), and placental weight were found to be independently correlated with neonatal birth weight. However, maternal nutrition during pregnancy was not found to be associated with birth weight.

Summary: In a weight management setting, intermittent calorie restriction (ICR) and continuous calorie restriction (CCR) were found to be equivalent in achieving modest weight loss over two years while affecting dietary composition in a comparable manner. Self-reported adherence was worse for ICR than CCR, indicating potential challenges with adherence to ICR over time.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in the number of individuals participating in self-monitored weight loss, with women being the majority. Many overweight and obese individuals achieved their weight loss goals using smart body fat scales. The effectiveness of weight loss and fat loss was greater in the obese population compared to the overweight population.

Summary: This study examined the predictors of excess body weight in mother-child pairs after delivery, and found that excessive pre-pregnancy BMI, excessive gestational weight gain, and large-for-gestational age infants were strong predictors of concurrent excess body weight in mother-child pairs. This highlights the importance of implementing targeted public policies before and during pregnancy to prevent excess body weight in both mother and child.

Summary: This study evaluated the dietary food groups, nutrient intakes, and eating behaviors of children and adolescents with metabolically healthy or unhealthy obesity phenotypes. The findings showed that children and adolescents with unhealthy obesity consumed less whole grains and polyunsaturated fat, and had lower cognitive dietary restraint. Additionally, the consumption of deep fried food, fast food, and processed convenience food was associated with higher blood pressure. Higher intake of polyunsaturated fat and stronger cognitive dietary restraint were associated with a lower risk of unhealthy obesity phenotype.

Summary: The study showed that dietary treatment postpartum can lead to weight reduction, reduced waist circumference, prevented weight retention, and lowered blood glucose levels in women with higher BMIs.

Summary: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a safe and effective weight loss solution for patients with mild obesity, but it is less effective for those with higher BMI. Further research is needed to adjust guidelines and meet patient demand.

Summary: The treatment options for obesity have expanded significantly, including the adoption of endoscopic bariatric therapies. However, further research is needed to explore the role of nutrition management and multidisciplinary teams in maximizing weight loss.

Summary: Maternal intake of total sugars and sugar sweetened beverages is positively correlated with infant/toddler added sugar intakes. Interventions to reduce maternal consumption of sugar sweetened beverages may help decrease added sugar intake in infants and toddlers.

Summary: Bariatric surgery has been shown to achieve sustained weight loss and improve metabolism, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This retrospective study found that bariatric surgery resulted in significant decreases in blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels. The surgery also decreased the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and significantly reduced the Framingham risk score.

Summary: This study investigates the role of endothelial cell transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) in iron uptake, BMP6 regulation, and systemic iron homeostasis. The results show that TFR1 mediates iron uptake and Bmp6 expression in primary liver endothelial cell cultures. Knockout mice lacking endothelial Tfrc exhibit altered iron homeostasis under limited iron diet conditions, but not under iron-rich standard diet conditions. Additionally, ferritin and non-transferrin bound iron (NTBI) can induce Bmp6 expression via TFR1-independent mechanisms in primary LEC cultures.

Summary: This study reveals the important role of BMP5 in hepcidin and systemic iron homeostasis regulation, particularly when BMP6 is limited. Bmp5 mutant mice exhibit hepcidin deficiency and iron loading, and loss of one or two functional Bmp5 alleles leads to more severe hemochromatosis in Bmp6 knockout mice. Furthermore, erythroferrone can directly bind to BMP5 and inhibit its induction of hepcidin.
