Summary: This study aimed to identify dietary and physical activity patterns in children with overweight and obesity through cluster analysis. Three clusters were identified with varying levels of physical activity and adherence to dietary recommendations. The study found that cluster 3, with the highest physical activity level, had lower body fat percentage and higher lean body mass compared to cluster 2. Adherence to both physical activity and dietary guidelines is important in understanding obesogenic habits in pediatric populations.

Summary: Contradictory data exist on the impact of occupational physical activity (OPA) on cardiovascular health. This study found that OPA is negatively associated with cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, blood pressure, blood lipids, and associated medical conditions. This suggests that OPA may be beneficial for cardiovascular health.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the post hoc associations among circadian rhythm parameters, physical activity, and cardiometabolic risk factors in adults with obesity and prediabetes after 3 years of weight loss maintenance. The results showed that parameters indicating a robust circadian rhythm were associated with lower cardiometabolic risk and C-reactive protein levels. Physical activity mediated the association between circadian stability and systolic blood pressure in free-living conditions.

Summary: This study examined the effects of intermittent fasting (IF) on cardiometabolic risk factors and gut microbiota in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). IF resulted in significant reductions in fat mass, improved oxidative stress, modulated inflammatory cytokines, and altered gut microbiota communities. The changes induced by IF were associated with cardiovascular risk factors and led to distinct genetic shifts in carbohydrate metabolism within the gut microbiota community.

Summary: According to the synthesized data, there is an association between arterial hypertension, obesity, and fatty liver disease in younger patients. The formation of diverticula seems to be influenced by age and genetic factors. The study suggests a connection with cardiometabolic risk factors. Targeted studies based on these findings are necessary to gain a better understanding of the role of metabolic risk factors in asymptomatic diverticulosis.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between nut consumption and academic performance in Spanish adolescents, taking into account sociodemographic, anthropometric, and lifestyle factors. The results showed that consuming 3 or more servings of nuts per week was consistently associated with higher grades in language, combination of language and math, grade point average, and combination of all school records. These associations remained significant even after adjusting for covariates, although sex and socioeconomic level played a role in the associations.

Summary: The aim of this study was to examine whether cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) decreases the association between insulin resistance and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption in Spanish schoolchildren. The results showed that certain levels of CRF moderate the association between SSB consumption and insulin resistance. When CRF is low, SSB consumption is positively associated with insulin levels or HOMA-IR. However, when CRF is high, the association between SSB consumption and insulin resistance decreases.

Summary: This study aimed to test the effectiveness of an 8-month school-based multicomponent intervention (MOVI-KIDS) in improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in schoolchildren. The intervention included physical activity sessions, educational materials, and school playground modifications. Results showed that the intervention had a positive impact on boys' overall HRQoL and emotional well-being, but not on physical well-being, self-esteem, family, and friends. There were no significant differences in HRQoL between girls who participated in the intervention and those who did not.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness and safety of risdiplam in treating spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). A total of 11 studies were included, and the results indicated that risdiplam had positive effects on motor and respiratory function in patients with SMA. However, the efficacy on respiratory function was inconsistent in SMA2/3. Adverse events were reported in 16% of participants, but serious adverse events were not quantified due to limited cases. Overall, the available evidence suggests that risdiplam is an effective and safe drug for the treatment of SMA, with the stage of disease at treatment initiation potentially influencing long-term clinical benefit.

Summary: This scoping review examines the psychological outcomes of physical activity interventions in the class-room for children aged 6 to 12 years. It suggests that interventions which integrate physical activity into the curriculum 2-5 times a week for sessions between 4' to 10', led by classroom teachers with audio-visual support, have significant effects on psychological health outcomes, self-efficacy, motivation, and behavior inside the classroom. However, the heterogeneity in program designs highlights the need for more research on other psychological health indicators and the use of objective measures of physical activity.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the associations among passive (TV viewing) and active (using other electronic devices) screen time and academic achievement and executive functions in schoolchildren and to assess whether this relationship is mediated by diet quality. The results suggest that children who spent >3 h watching TV had lower academic achievement and children who spent >3 h using other electronic devices had more inhibition. Both types of screen use were associated with a lower quality of diet.
