Summary: Obesity is a major epidemic in the 21st century that increases the risk of various cardiometabolic factors. Early recognition of CV damage and prevention strategies are crucial in reducing CV morbidity and mortality. Recognizing and tracking risk factors from prenatal age to adulthood is essential in addressing the impact of obesity on cardiovascular health.

Summary: Increased body fat can lead to health risks for individuals. This study aimed to associate cardiometabolic risk factors with sedentary and active adult populations using skinfold thickness measurements. The study found a significant association between skinfold thickness and cardiometabolic risk factors, highlighting the risks associated with abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and hypertriglyceridemia. Skinfold measurements could be useful in early detection of cardiometabolic risk even in healthy and physically active individuals.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate whether children conceived using assisted reproductive technology (ART) or ovulation induction (OI) have greater cardiometabolic risk compared to children conceived without treatment. The results showed that at 9 years of age, children conceived using ART or OI did not have greater cardiometabolic risk compared to children conceived without treatment.

Summary: This study found that patterns of SED and PA change during childhood. Total volume and short bouts tend to track more strongly, while longer bouts track weakly. Interventions to prevent declines in PA and increases in SED are crucial from early life.

Summary: The study revealed age-related changes in sleep spindle characteristics, with spindle wave frequency increasing linearly with age, central spindle density peaking at 15.1 years, and spindle wave amplitude and duration showing different patterns of change. Sex differences were observed in spindle amplitude dynamics, with females experiencing the most rapid decline 1.4 years earlier than males. These findings suggest maturation of thalamocortical circuits and changes in sleep depth over the course of development.

Summary: This study aimed to examine clustering of cardiometabolic markers in Mexican children at age 11 years and compare a metabolic syndrome (MetS) score to an exploratory cardiometabolic health (CMH) score. Data from 413 children were analyzed using principal component analysis to derive MetS and CMH scores. The results showed that MetS and CMH scores capture a similar amount of variation. Comparison of the predictive abilities of these scores may improve the identification of children at risk for cardiometabolic disease.

Summary: This study found that higher hair cortisol concentrations at age 6 were associated with higher systolic blood pressure at age 10, but this association attenuated after adjusting for childhood body mass index at age 6. Hair cortisol concentrations were not associated with other cardiometabolic risk factors at age 6 or 10.

Summary: This study examined individual variability and sex differences in changes in brain structure across ages 8.0-26.0 years. Results showed considerable inter-individual variability in brain measures, with most individuals demonstrating decreases in certain areas during mid-adolescence. There were also sex differences in these patterns and an association between brain structure size and rate of change.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nap habituality and sedentary time and physical activity in preschool-aged children. The study also explored the association between nap physiology and movement behaviors, as well as the impact of missing a nap on movement behaviors. The findings suggest that there is no significant relationship between naps and movement behaviors in children.

Summary: This study used genetic epidemiology methods to explore the effects of maternal body mass index (BMI), smoking, and alcohol on offspring congenital heart diseases (CHDs). The results showed inconclusive associations between maternal BMI, smoking, alcohol, and offspring CHDs, indicating the need for further large-scale studies to replicate these findings.

Summary: This study examined the associations between common pregnancy and perinatal complications and offspring metabolic traits using data from eight population-based cohort studies. The findings indicate that these complications are mainly associated with metabolic traits in newborns, with little evidence of long-term impact on older offspring.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations of assisted reproductive technology (ART) conception with offspring cardiometabolic health outcomes and whether these associations differ with age. The researchers found small and statistically non-significant differences in offspring cardiometabolic outcomes between ART-conceived and naturally conceived offspring. The study concluded that these findings should reassure individuals receiving ART, but longer-term follow-up is needed to investigate changes in the risks of hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and cardiovascular disease over adulthood.

Summary: This population-based cohort study compared the risks of stillbirth and neonatal death after fresh embryo transfers (fresh-ETs) and frozen embryo transfers (frozen-ETs) with singletons conceived without medical assistance. The study found that the risk of stillbirth was similar between fresh-ETs, frozen-ETs, and singletons conceived without medical assistance, while the risk of neonatal death was higher in both fresh-ETs and frozen-ETs. The study also found a higher risk of preterm birth and neonatal mortality in both fresh-ETs and frozen-ETs compared to singletons conceived without medical assistance.

Summary: This study found that spending more time on moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) relative to sedentary behavior (SB), sleep, or light-intensity physical activity (LIPA) is associated with a lower risk of depression. Replacing sleep, SB, or LIPA with MVPA time was strongly associated with lower depression risk. Reallocating time between SB, sleep, or LIPA had minimal to no effect on depression risk.

Summary: This study examined the influence of accelerometer placement and other methodological factors on participant recruitment, adherence, and data loss in observational studies of adult physical behaviors. The findings showed that in-person distribution of accelerometers was associated with higher participant consent and adherence rates compared to postal distribution. Wrist-worn accelerometers were more likely to meet minimum wear criteria compared to waist-worn accelerometers.

Summary: This study systematically evaluated the potential causal effect between sleep and adiposity traits. The results showed that insomnia symptoms increased waist circumference, BMI, and waist-hip ratio; napping increased waist-hip ratio; higher adult BMI, hip circumference, and waist circumference increased the odds of daytime sleepiness; higher childhood BMI decreased the odds of napping.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations between different types and contexts of stepping behaviors and cardiometabolic risk. The results showed that all stepping behaviors were beneficial to cardiometabolic health, with higher stair steps and peak 30-min walking intensity associated with a steep decline of adiposity biomarkers. Purposeful steps showed more consistent associations with cardiometabolic biomarkers than incidental steps.

Summary: This study examined the barriers and enablers of Vigorous Intermittent Lifestyle Physical Activity (VILPA) among physically inactive adults. The barriers include physical limitations, perceptions of aging, need for knowledge, environmental constraints, perceptions of effort and energy, and fear. The enablers include convenience, reframing physical activity as purposeful movement, use of prompts and reminders, normalization of taking the active option, gamification, sense of achievement, health improvements, identity fit, and changing from effortful deliberation to habitual action.
