The majority of children in North America consume cow-milk daily. Children aged >2 y are recommended to consume reduced-fat (0.1β2%) cow-milk to lower the risk of obesity.. ..In 18 studies, higher cow-milk fat consumption was associated with lower child adiposity, and 10 studies did not identify an association. Meta-analysis included 14 of the 28 studies… Continue reading Whole #milk compared with reduced-fat milk and childhood #overweight: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Amount and Intensity of Leisure-Time #Physical Activity and Lower #Cancer Risk
To determine whether recommended amounts of leisure-time physical activity (ie, 7.5-15 metabolic equivalent task [MET] hours/week) are associated with lower cancer risk.. ..Engagement in recommended amounts of activity (7.5-15 MET hours/week) was associated with a statistically significant lower risk of 7 of the 15 cancer types studied, including colon (8%-14% lower risk in men), breast… Continue reading Amount and Intensity of Leisure-Time #Physical Activity and Lower #Cancer Risk
Long-term benefit of #Microbiota Transfer Therapy on #autism symptoms and gut microbiota
Many studies have reported abnormal gut microbiota in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), suggesting a link between gut microbiome and autism-like behaviors. Modifying the gut microbiome is a potential route to improve gastrointestinal (GI) and behavioral symptoms in children with ASD, and fecal microbiota transplant could transform the dysbiotic gut microbiome toward a healthy… Continue reading Long-term benefit of #Microbiota Transfer Therapy on #autism symptoms and gut microbiota
#Mindfulness-Based Blood #Pressure Reduction (MB-BP): Stage 1 single-arm clinical trial
..Several determinants of hypertension were improved in participants not adhering to American Heart Association guidelines at baseline, including physical activity (p = 0.02), Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension-consistent diet (p<0.001), and alcohol consumption (p<0.001). Findings demonstrated mean 6.1 mmHg reduction in SBP (p = 0.008) at one year follow-up; effects were most pronounced in Stage… Continue reading #Mindfulness-Based Blood #Pressure Reduction (MB-BP): Stage 1 single-arm clinical trial
Prevalence of Human #Papillomavirus Infection by Number of Vaccine Doses Among US Women
..Compared with unvaccinated women (prevalence of 12.5% [95% CI, 9.7%-15.3%]), infection with HPV type 6, 11, 16, or 18 was significantly less prevalent among women who received 1 dose (2.4% [95% CI, 0%-4.9%]), 2 doses (5.1% [95% CI, 0.8%-9.5%]), or 3 doses (3.1% [95% CI, 0.9%-5.3%]) of HPV vaccine (Table 1). There was no significant… Continue reading Prevalence of Human #Papillomavirus Infection by Number of Vaccine Doses Among US Women
Ten-Hour Time-Restricted Eating Reduces Weight, Blood Pressure, and Atherogenic Lipids in Patients with #Metabolic Syndrome
In animal models, time-restricted feeding (TRF) can prevent and reverse aspects of metabolic diseases. Time-restricted eating (TRE) in human pilot studies reduces the risks of metabolic diseases in otherwise healthy individuals... ..In a single-arm, paired-sample trial, 19 participants with metabolic syndrome and a baseline mean daily eating window of β₯14 h, the majority of whom… Continue reading Ten-Hour Time-Restricted Eating Reduces Weight, Blood Pressure, and Atherogenic Lipids in Patients with #Metabolic Syndrome

Application of non-HDL #cholesterol for population-based #cardiovascular risk stratification: results from the Multinational Cardiovascular Risk Consortium
..Incidence curve analyses showed progressively higher 30-year cardiovascular disease event-rates for increasing non-HDL cholesterol categories (from 7Β·7% for non-HDL cholesterol <2Β·6 mmol/L to 33Β·7% for β₯5Β·7 mmol/L in women and from 12Β·8% to 43Β·6% in men; p<0Β·0001). Multivariable adjusted Cox models with non-HDL cholesterol lower than 2Β·6 mmol/L as reference showed an increase in the… Continue reading Application of non-HDL #cholesterol for population-based #cardiovascular risk stratification: results from the Multinational Cardiovascular Risk Consortium
Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global #obesity epidemic in adults
Body-mass index (#BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities1,2. This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity.. ..We show that, contrary to the dominant paradigm,… Continue reading Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global #obesity epidemic in adults
