Background: Childhood obesity is a serious health problem, related to an increased risk of adult morbidity and mortality. Evidence indicates that central adiposity increases this risk to a higher degree compared to the general obesity indices.Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate the distribution of anthropometric obesity indices among preschool children aged 3.5–5.5 years, from six European countries, and to examine their associations with certain ...

Background: It is well known that ingestion of a high fat diet (HFD) can induce rapid weight gain and metabolic imbalances. However, males and females are not equally susceptible to these effects. Furthermore, an individual may be more prone to gain weight during specific developmental periods.Aims and objectives: We aimed to analyse the response to the acute exposure to a HFD during pubertal/adolescent period and to determine whether males and females r...

Introduction: Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus (NDM) is characterised by severe hyperglycaemia, usually diagnosed in the first 6 months of life. Genetic diagnosis helps distinguishing between its different causes and between transient (TNDM) and permanent (PNDM) forms, with repercussions on the therapeutic approach and follow-up.Aim: Clinical and molecular characterisation of a series of NMD cases under endocrinological follow...

Background: Heterogeneity in reported outcomes limits the ability to compare results of studies evaluating hypospadias surgery.Objective: To identify a core outcome set (COS), a minimal number of defined outcomes, to be routinely measured and reported in all trials across the age span following hypospadias surgery.Materials and Methods: A study protocol was drafted and the study re...

Aim: To determine Sertoli cell function at diagnosis and after 3 months of chemotherapy.Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed including children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, acute myeloid leukaemia, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Serum levels of AMH were evaluated at diagnosis and after 3 months during chemotherapy. Results were analysed as standard deviation scores according to pubertal stage and expressed ...

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an emerging disease in the pediatric population. T2D is associated with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are lipoproteins that are believed to have atheroprotective properties that reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Current evidence suggests that the physicochemical and functional features of HDLs may play a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.<...

Introduction: The incorporation of the interstitial glucose monitoring system, in the offer of services in the Andalusian Public Health System (APHS), means an opportunity for the implementation of a model of integration, and follow-up of glucose data, and the evaluation of their impact in health results.Purpose (Aim): The design and implantation of a model that allows the identification, registration of clinical data, i...

Introduction: Childhood obesity means a Public Health problem. It is related to chronic diseases in adults, a decrease in quality of life, and an increase in social and sanitary costs. In Spain, the National Health Service (ENSE 2017) stood the prevalence of overweight in toddler between 2 to 7 years old, in 18,26% and obesity in 10,30%, no differences between sex. In 2015 the prevalence of overweight and obesity in childhood are 21, 3 % and 6, 2 &...

Introduction:The incidence of obesity increases unstoppably in all populations and at all ages, and with it, the associated metabolic morbidity and mortality. The promotion of physical activity and a healthy diet are the fundamental elements to alleviate this situation. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship of physical activity and eating patterns with body composition, the degree of adiposity and certain metabolic risk factors.<p cl...

Introduction: Several studies show the negative impact of low level of studies of parents on the dietary patterns and the degree of adiposity of their children. The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the level of studies and compliance with the recommendations of healthy eating pyramid.Material and method: An anthropometric study was conducted in 895 Spanish children and adolescents (53% women), between 3 and 18 years old (10...
