Ballin, M., Neovius, M., Ortega, F. B., Henriksson, P., Nordström, Anna, Berglind, D., Nordström, P., Ahlqvist, V. H., Ballin, M., Neovius, M., Ortega, F. B., Henriksson, P., Nordström, Anna, Berglind, D., Nordström, P., and Ahlqvist, V. H.

Abstract

Importance: Cardiovascular risk factors in youth have been associated with future cardiovascular disease (CVD), but conventional observational studies are vulnerable to genetic and environmental confounding. Objective: To examine the role of genetic and environmental factors shared by full siblings in the association of adolescent cardiovascular risk factors with future CVD. Design, Setting, and Participants: This is a nationwide cohort study with full sibling comparisons. All men who underwent mandatory military conscription examinations in Sweden between 1972 and 1995 were followed up until December 31, 2016. Data analysis was performed from May 1 to November 10, 2022. Exposures: Body mass index (BMI), cardiorespiratory fitness, blood pressure, handgrip strength, and a combined risk z score in late adolescence. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was fatal or nonfatal CVD, as recorded in the National Inpatient Register or the Cause of Death Register before 2017. Results: A total of 1138833 men (mean [SD] age, 18.3 [0.8] years), of whom 463995 were full brothers, were followed up for a median (IQR) of 32.1 (26.7-37.7) years, during which 48606 experienced a CVD outcome (18598 among full brothers). All risk factors were associated with CVD, but the effect of controlling for unobserved genetic and environmental factors shared by full siblings varied. In the sibling analysis, hazard ratios for CVD (top vs bottom decile) were 2.10 (95% CI, 1.90-2.32) for BMI, 0.77 (95% CI, 0.68-0.88) for cardiorespiratory fitness, 1.45 (95% CI, 1.32-1.60) for systolic blood pressure, 0.90 (95% CI, 0.82-0.99) for handgrip strength, and 2.19 (95% CI, 1.96-2.46) for the combined z score. The percentage attenuation in these hazard ratios in the sibling vs total cohort analysis ranged from 1.1% for handgrip strength to 40.0% for cardiorespiratory fitness. Consequently, in the sibling analysis, the difference in cumulative CVD incidence at age 60 years (top vs bottom decile) was

Abstract

Background/Objectives: To examine the association between parental body mass index (BMI) and their offspring's body composition, physical fitness and lifestyle factors (that is, sedentary time, physical activity and diet). Subjects/Methods: A total of 307 preschoolers (4.5[plus or minus]0.1 years) and their parents (fathers: 38.1[plus or minus]5.1 years and mothers: 35.6[plus or minus]4.2 years) participated in this study. Parental BMI was calculated using self-reported weight and height. Preschoolers body composition was assessed using: BMI, fat mass percentage, fat mass index, fat-free mass index (measured via air-displacement plethysmography) and waist circumference. Physical fitness was assessed by the PREFIT fitness battery. Lifestyle factors were assessed using the ActiGraph wGT3x-BT (sedentary time and physical activity), and the mobile-phone based tool for energy balance in children (diet). Results: Parental BMI were positively associated with their offspring's BMI (paternal BMI: standardised beta, [beta]=0.233, P Conclusions: Parental BMI was positively associated with their offspring's BMI, fat as well as fat-free mass index and waist circumference. Moreover, a higher paternal and maternal BMI were related to higher levels of sedentary time and a lower performance in the standing long jump test of their offspring, respectively., Author(s): C Cadenas-Sanchez [sup.1] , P Henriksson [sup.1] , H Henriksson [sup.1] , C Delisle Nyström [sup.2] , J Pomeroy [sup.3] , J R Ruiz [sup.1] [sup.2] , F B [...]

Abstract

Background/Objectives: Easy-to-use and accurate methods to assess free-living activity energy expenditure (AEE) in preschool children are required. The aims of this study in healthy preschool children were to (a) evaluate the ability of the wrist-worn ActiGraph wGT3x-BT to predict free-living AEE and (b) assess wear compliance using a 7-day, 24-h protocol. Subjects/Methods: Participants were 40 Swedish children (5.5[plus or minus]0.2 years) in the Mobile-based intervention intended to stop obesity in preschoolers (MINISTOP) obesity prevention trial. Total energy expenditure (TEE) was assessed using the doubly labeled water method during 14 days. AEE was calculated as (TEEx0.9) minus predicted basal metabolic rate. The ActiGraph accelerometer was worn on the wrist for 7 days and outputs used were mean of the daily and awake filtered vector magnitude (mean VM total and mean VM waking). Results: The ActiGraph was worn for 7 (n=34, 85%), 6 (n=4, 10%), 5 (n=1, 2.5%) and 4 (n=1, 2.5%) days (a valid day was [greater-than or slanted equal to]600 awake minutes). Alone, mean VM total and mean VM waking were able to explain 14% (P=0.009) and 24% (P=0.001) of the variation in AEE, respectively. By incorporating fat and fat-free mass in the models 58% (mean VM total) and 62% (mean VM waking) in the variation of AEE was explained (P Conclusions: The wrist-worn ActiGraph wGT3x-BT in combination with body composition variables explained up to the 62% of the variation in AEE. Given the high wear compliance, the wrist-worn ActiGraph has the potential to provide useful information in studies where physical activity in preschool children is measured., Author(s): C Delisle Nyström [sup.1] , J Pomeroy [sup.2] , P Henriksson [sup.1] [sup.3] , E Forsum [sup.4] , F B Ortega [sup.1] [sup.3] , R Maddison [sup.5] , J [...]

Abstract

International audience; OBJECTIVES: To delineate the clustering of energy balance-related behaviors in adolescents and investigate whether these behaviors are associated with the household socioeconomic status and parental education level. METHODS: Two cross-sectional studies assessed information on sedentary behavior, physical activity, sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit and vegetable consumption, and sleep duration by self-reported questionnaires in adolescents (12.5-17.5 years old) from Maringa/Brazil (BRACAH Study; n = 682) and ten European cities (HELENA Study; n = 1252) from nine different countries. Gender-specific cluster analyses were performed separately for each study, applying a combination of hierarchical and non-hierarchical methods. RESULTS: Girls showed equivalent behaviors: Sedentary; Active; Unhealthy Eating; Healthy Eating; while boys differed (Brazilian: Sedentary; Active; Healthy Eating; European: Sedentary; Healthy; Unhealthy Eating). In Brazil, we found no association between socioeconomic status and parental education. In European girls, the high socioeconomic status and both parents' university degree were associated with Healthy Eating. In European boys, the high socioeconomic status was associated with Unhealthy Eating, and the mothers' university degree was associated with the Healthy cluster. CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents show Sedentary behavior, regardless of their sex, country of origin, or socioeconomic condition.

Abstract

Aim. Physical activity (PA) has traditionally been measured wearing accelerometers on the hip, but they are increasingly being worn on the wrist. We compared hip and wrist accelerometers with regard to their acceptability and any associations between PA and fatness and fitness. Methods. This cross‐sectional study comprised 103 children aged 8‐12 years (62% boys) who participated in the ActiveBrains trial by the University of Granada, Spain, in 2014‐2016. The children wore both ActiGraph GT3X+ hip and wrist accelerometers round the clock for seven days. The acceptability of both placements was evaluated by a questionnaire, while the children' fat mass index, waist circumference, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) were assessed. Results. Wearing wrist accelerometers caused less disturbance, mainly because hip accelerometers caused more issues during the night. The measurements from both placements showed that lower PA levels were associated with fatness and that increased PA was associated with CRF. Conclusion. Both placements showed consistent results with regard to measuring associations between PA levels and fatness and fitness. However, wearing them on the wrist caused less discomfort at night. Future studies are needed to confirm the best placement for accelerometers during PA studies. peerReviewed

B.

Abstract

Background: Youth populations with overweight/obesity (OW/OB) exhibit heterogeneity in cardiometabolic health phenotypes. The underlying mechanisms for those differences are still unclear. This study aimed to analyze the whole-blood transcriptome profile (RNA-seq) of children with metabolic healthy overweight/obesity (MHO) and metabolic unhealthy overweight/obesity (MUO) phenotypes. Methods: Twenty-seven children with OW/OB (10.1 ± 1.3 years, 59% boys) from the ActiveBrains project were included. MHO was defined as having none of the following criteria for metabolic syndrome: elevated fasting glucose, high serum triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and high systolic or diastolic blood pressure, while MUO was defined as presenting one or more of these criteria. Inflammatory markers were additionally determined. Total blood RNA was analyzed by 5’-end RNA-sequencing. Results: Whole-blood transcriptome analysis revealed a distinct pattern of gene expression in children with MHO compared to MUO children. Thirty-two genes differentially expressed were linked to metabolism, mitochondrial, and immune functions. Conclusions: The identified gene expression patterns related to metabolism, mitochondrial, and immune functions contribute to a better understanding of why a subset of the population remains metabolically healthy despite having overweight/obesity. Impact: A distinct pattern of whole-blood transcriptome profile (RNA-seq) was identified in children with metabolic healthy overweight/obesity (MHO) compared to metabolic unhealthy overweight/obesity (MUO) phenotype.The most relevant genes in understanding the molecular basis underlying the MHO/MUO phenotypes in children could be: RREB1, FAM83E, SLC44A1, NRG1, TMC5, CYP3A5, TRIM11, and ADAMTSL2.The identified whole-blood transcriptome profile related to metabolism, mitochondrial, and immune functions contribute to a better understanding of why a subset of the population remains metabolically healthy desp, QC 20210308

49. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL FITNESS AND DIETARY HABITS OF EARLY SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN.

Author

STANKOVSKA, ZORICA, GONTAREV, SERJOŽA, and KOSTOVSKI, ŽARKO

Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate whether individual dietary habits are associated with the physical fitness of early school-age children. In children and adolescents, physical fitness is negatively correlated with cardiorespiratory diseases, high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, overall obesity, skeletal health impairment, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, atherogenic lipid profile, and other metabolic risk factors. Previous research has confirmed the link between low levels of physical fitness in young people and several factors, such as improper dietary habits. Most studies investigating the impact of dietary habits on health have focused on the effect of diet on changes in weight and body composition. Skipping breakfast, snacking, or consuming sugary drinks are associated with higher body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference (WC) in adults and children. The study was conducted on a sample of 940 participants, randomly selected from several primary schools in the Skopje region. The sample was divided into two subsamples by gender, comprising 466 male participants and 474 female participants. The study used 7 criterion variables (fitness tests) and 2 predictor variables. Differences between groups were determined by one-way multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA and ANCOVA) with partialization by age (age was treated as a fixed covariate). The results of the study showed that boys who reported eating breakfast every day showed better results in aerobic fitness, running 20 meters with progressive speed increase (20m shuttle run test - Stg), and running 20 meters with progressive speed increase (VO2 max), which was not the case for girls. Dietary habits, such as fruit consumption, did not have a statistically significant impact on physical fitness (motor status) in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background and aims The fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) has been associated with obesity and dietary intake. The aims were: (i) To assess whether energy and macronutrient intakes were different across the FTOrs9939609 genotypes in adolescents, and (ii) to explore whether dietary fat intake modified the association of the rs9939609 polymorphism with adiposity. Methods and results The FTOrs9939609 polymorphism was genotyped in 652 adolescents (53% females, 14.8 ± 1.2 years, TT = 246, TA = 296, AA = 110). Energy and macronutrient intake were assessed by two non-consecutive 24 h-recalls. Weight, height, waist circumference and skinfold thicknesses were measured and body fat percent was calculated. Energy and macronutrient intake were similar across the FTOrs9939609 genotypes (P > 0.2). There were significant interactions between the FTO polymorphism and fat intake on adiposity estimates (P < 0.05). In adolescents whose fat intake was below 30% (N = 203), the A allele of rs9939609 was not associated with adiposity indices. In contrast, in adolescents whose fat intake was between 30% and 35% of energy (N = 190), the rs9939609 polymorphism was associated with a 1.9% higher body fat per risk allele (95%CI: 0.39, 3.33; P < 0.05), and in those whose fat intake was higher than 35% (N = 259), it was associated with a 2.8% higher body fat per risk allele (95%CI: 1.27, 4.43; P < 0.001). Conclusions These findings support the concept that the deleterious effect of the FTOrs9939609 polymorphism on adiposity is exacerbated in adolescents consuming high fat diets. In contrast, the consumption of low fat diets (
