Background: Obesity in childhood and adolescence represents a major health problem of our century, and accounts for a significant increase in morbidity and mortality in adulthood. In addition to the increased consumption of calories and lack of exercise, accumulating evidence suggests that childhood obesity is strongly associated with prolonged and excessive activation of the stress system.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of our study was to assess the ...

The Prevalence of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Insufficiency and Deficiency Among Overweight and Obese Children and Adolescents in Greece

Giannios Christos , Farakla Ioanna , Papadopoulos Georgios , Bakopoulou Ioanna , Nicolaides Nicolas C , Papathanasiou Chryssanthi , Drakopoulou Maria , Chrousos George P , Charmandari Evangelia

Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically in Greece in the last decades, and more than 30% of children and adolescents are currently overweight or obese. Obesity is associated with decreased circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, which might predispose to metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Objective and hypotheses: To determine serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations and their relationship to ca...

Longitudinal Changes in Serum DLK1 Concentrations During Minipuberty in Healthy Infant Girls; Association to Changes in Linear Growth and Fat Mass

Vilmann Lea , Siegfried Busch Alexander , Lindhardt Ljubicic Marie , N. Upners Emmie , Bistrup Fischer Margit , P. Hagen Casper , Juul Anders

Background: Growth in infancy is considered primarily to be regulated by nutrition and insulin, whereas less is known about the influence of IGF-I, reproductive hormones and other factors of importance. Recently, paternally inherited genetic defects of DLK1 (Delta-like 1 homolog) were found in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP) with a metabolic phenotype. In addition, low maternal serum DLK1 concentrations were significantly lower in pregnant women wh...

Endocrine Profiling and Association with Ultrasound Measured Testicular Volume and Biometrics in a Cohort of Norwegian Boys

Madsen André , Oehme Ninnie , Bruserud Ingvild , Roelants Mathieu , Sagen Jørn , Mellgren Gunnar , Júlíusson Pétur

Introduction: Male puberty is initiated by endocrine signaling in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis whereby follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) enable testicular maturation and synthesis of testosterone. Recent publications have eluded to overnutrition and obesity as relevant factors that may accelerate the timing of puberty. Attainment of testicular volume (TV) 4 ml measured by Prader orchidometer remains the definition of male puber...

Evaluation of Τri-Ponderal Mass Index as a reflector of adiposity among pediatric cancer survivors

Objectives: Modern treatments lead to increased survival rates from childhood cancer. Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are a growing population group, which is at high risk for cardiometabolic disorders including metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Obesity is one of the major drivers of these adverse outcomes, resulted from corticosteroids, radiotherapy, sedentary behavior, and precancer obesity. Assessment of obesity could identify...

Improvement in the nutritional status of Brazilian children under five years of age, evaluation from 2010 to 2022.

M Pinto Renata , M de Jesus Luciana , B D de Sousa Mariana , P de Oliveira Nayara , de S Gomes Laís

Introduction: The good nutritional status of children in the first years of life is essential for their healthy growth and development. Evaluating the repercussions of nutritional status is fundamental since nutrition can influence both short-term and adult life.Objective: To analyze the temporal trends of the BMI of Brazilian children aged 0 to 5 between 2010 and 2022.Patients and methods:...

Abdominal fat Distribution Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging in 197 Children Aged 10–15 Years – Correlation to Anthropometry and Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry

Tinggaard Jeanette , Hagen Casper P , Mouritsen Annette , Mieritz Mikkel G , Wohlfahrt-Veje Christine , Fallentin Eva , Larsen Rasmus , Christensen Anders N , Jensen Rikke B , Juul Anders , Main Katharina

Background: Obesity in childhood is defined by age- and sex-specific BMI cut-off values. However, BMI does not disclose the distribution of fat mass. Increased abdominal adipose tissue is associated with a higher risk of cardio-metabolic disease in adulthood. Thus, precise measurements of abdominal adipose tissue in children may enable early prevention of disease.Objective and hypotheses: To validate measurements of abdominal adipose tissue by anthropome...

AMH levels in infancy and mid-childhood predict ovarian activity in adolescence: a longitudinal study of healthy girls

Bistrup Fischer Margit , Hagen Casper P. , Wohlfahrt-Veje Christine , Assens Maria , Busch Alexander S. , Tønnes Petersen Anette , Juul Anders , Main Katharina M.

Background: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by granulosa cells in small follicles prior to gonadotropin dependent growth and serum levels reflect the number of small antral follicles. There are currently no longitudinal data of individual AMH levels from infancy to adolescence.Aim: To evaluate whether AMH in infancy and childhood is associated with AMH levels and ovarian morphology peripubertal and in adole...

Burosumab, a Fully Human anti-FGF23 Monoclonal Antibody, for X-linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH): Sustained Improvement in two Phase 2 Trials in Affected Children 1–12 years old

Linglart Agnes , van't Hoff William , Whyte Michael P. , Imel Erik , Portale Anthony A. , Boot Annemieke , Hogler Wolfgang , Padidela Raja , Mao Meng , Skrinar Alison , Martin Javier San , Carpenter Thomas O.

In XLH, excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) causes hypophosphatemia and consequent rickets, skeletal deformities, and growth impairment. The efficacy and safety of burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against FGF23, was evaluated in two Phase 2 trials in children with XLH. In CL201, 52 children with XLH (5–12 years old, Tanner ≤2) were randomized 1:1 to receive subcutaneous burosumab every 2 (Q2W) or 4 (Q4W) weeks, with doses titrated up to 2 mg/kg to...

Dynamic Changes in Growth and IGF-I During the First Year of Life; A Longitudinal Study of 233 healthy Danish Infants

Upners Emmie N. , Ljubicic Marie L , Busch Alexander S , Fischer Margit B , Almstrup Kristian , Petersen Jorgen H , Jensen Rikke B , Hagen Casper P , Juul Anders ,

Background: Growth during infancy is a continuation of the rapid fetal growth and its regulation is complex and multifactorial. It is well-established that insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its regulators (e.g. IGF binding proteins (IGFBP-3) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 (PAPP-A2)) are important for prenatal and postnatal growth; however, their significance for growth during infancy is not fully explored.Aims: The aim...
