A Systemic Approach for the Management of the Program Entitled ‘Development of a National System for the Prevention and Management of Overweight and Obesity in Childhood and Adolescence in Greece’

Kassari Penio , Papaioannou Panagiotis , Charmandari Evangelia

Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically in Greece in the last two decades, and more than 35% of children and adolescents are currently overweight or obese. Prevention could be the key strategy for controlling the current epidemic of obesity.Objective and hypotheses: Prevention is the main scope of the Program entitled ‘Development of a National System for the Prevention and Management of Overweight and Obesity in Childhood a...

Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have improved our knowledge about the genetic basis of congenital hypothyroidism (CH). The objective of our study was to evaluate the molecular genetic etiology in our primary CH cohort by using the NGS-based panel.Subjects and Methods: The clinical and genetic characteristics of 147 patients (61 female) from 129 unrelated families were evaluated. The patients wer...

Evaluation of an infant formula with large, milk phospholipid-coated lipid droplets on long-term growth and adiposity: the saturn study design

Dorrepaal Demi , van Beijsterveldt Inge , Abrahamse-Berkeveld Marieke , Hokken Anita

Background and aims: Breastfeeding is associated with different adiposity development in infants and a reduced overweight risk. Human milk contains large lipid globules with a native membrane rich in phospholipids, whereas lipid droplets in most conventional infant formulas (IF) are small and protein-coated. Our study aims to evaluate the impact of a Concept IF with large, milk phospholipid-coated lipid droplets, closer to human milk lipid globule characterist...

Assessment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with non-invasive indices in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome

Context: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex disorder affecting women from adolescence until menopause. PCOS in adolescent years shares common features with clinical presentation in adulthood, including the adverse metabolic profile. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of hepatic changes, from liver steatosis to severe inflammation and fibrinogenesis.Objective: To assess NAFLD in an adolesce...

Effect of Feeding Mode on Longitudinal Body Composition in Early Life

de Fluiter Kirsten S , van Beijsterveldt Inge ALP , Acton Dennis , Hokken-Koelega Anita CS

Background: Excessive gain in fat mass (FM) during the first months of life, known as the critical window for adiposity programming, is associated with an increased risk for adiposity and cardiovascular diseases in later life. Early life nutrition (breastfeeding or formula feeding) might influence body composition (FM and fat free mass (FFM)) development in early life.Aims: To investigate differences in sex-specific long...

Tracking Body Mass Index From Infancy into Childhood

Beijsterveldt Inge van , de Fluiter Kirsten , Acton Dennis , Hokken-Koelega Anita

Background and Aims: It has been postulated that the first 3 months of life are critical for programming of adult metabolic health. We investigated if Body Mass Index (BMI) and Fat Mass percentage (FM%) in early life tracks to 5 years of age and if feeding mode influences tracking.Methods: In 268 term born, healthy infants from the Sophia Pluto cohort (161 boys ), BMI was determined at 3 and 6 months, 2 and 5 years o...

Longitudinal Changes in Abdominal Fat Distribution in the First Two Years of Life

van Beijsterveldt Inge , de Fluiter Kirsten , Acton Dennis , Hokken-Koelega Anita

Changes in abdominal fat distribution in the first months of life might be critical for adult metabolic health. Type of feeding might influence the abdominal fat distribution in early life. This study aims to determine whether type of feeding is related to abdominal fat distribution and whether changes in early life are associated with abdominal fat distribution at the age of 2 years.Methods: In the Sophia Pluto Cohort, infants are examined at age 1 and ...

Reference values for longitudinal body composition in children aged 0-5 years, using Dual-energy X-ray (DXA) absorptiometry

van Beijsterveldt Inge , de Fluiter Kirsten , Hokken-Koelega Anita ,

Background and Objectives: Childhood obesity is a global public health threat, with an alarming rise in incidence. Obesity at young age has short-term consequences, as well as long-term morbidity. It is, therefore, important to determine body composition longitudinal throughout infancy and childhood to prevent excess adiposity. Multiple methods are used to determine body composition in infants and young children, but none are described as suitable for longitud...

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia caused by homozygous pathogenic variant in the HSD3B2 gene.

Fylaktou Eirini , Christoforidis Athanasios , Moutsanas Vissarios , Sertedaki Amalia , Kanaka-Gantenbein Christina ,

Introduction: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by impairment of one of the enzymes involved in the steroidogenesis pathway. 3βhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 deficiency (3βHSD2 deficiency) is a rare form of CAH (<0.5%) due to pathogenic variants in the HSD3B2gene encoding for the enzyme Type 2 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Δ4–Δ5isomerase (3&#946...

Clinical and molecular genetic characteristics of 98 patients with congenital hypopituitarism: A single-center experience

Yavas Abali Zehra , Arslan Ates Esra , Eltan Mehmet , Turan Serap , Bereket Abdullah , Guran Tulay

Background: Congenital hypopituitarism (CH) refers to a deficiency of one or more pituitary hormones resulting from variants in genes encoding transcription factors for pituitary development. CH cases are mostly sporadic but 5-30% can be familial. Genetic etiology is not determined in most cases. The aim of our study was to evaluate the genetic features of CH using different molecular and/or molecular cytogenetic techniques.Subje...
