OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasingly diagnosed at younger ages. We investigated the association of adolescent obesity with incident T2D early adulthood. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A nationwide, population-based study evaluated 1,462,362 adolescents (59% men, mean age 17.4 years) during 1996–2016. Data were linked to Israeli National Diabetes Registry. Weight and height measured entry. Cox proportional models applied. RESULTS During 15,810,751 person-years, 2,177 people (69% men)...
There is a continuous rise in the prevalence of adolescent obesity and incidence stroke among young adults many Western countries, but association between them unclear.A nationwide population-based study 1 900 384 Israeli adolescents (58% men; mean age, 17.3 years) who were evaluated before mandatory military service during 1985 2013. Body mass index was classified according to US Center for Disease Control Prevention percentiles. Primary outcome first event as recorded by National Stroke...
Gestational hyperglycemia is associated with deleterious neonatal outcomes, but long-term risks for offspring obesity are less clear. We estimated the odds adolescent overweight and among mothers gestational glucose intolerance.In a mother-offspring historical cohort, Israel military conscription data set was linked to large health maintenance organization. Included were women who evaluated at adolescence underwent two-step diabetes screening (mean age, 31 years) 50-g challenge test (GCT),...
<p dir="ltr">Objective Assessing diabetes risk in adulthood among adolescents with isolated glucosuria. Research Design and Methods Included were (16-19 years) examined before military service between 1993-2015. Data linked the Israeli National Diabetes Registry. Glucosuria was confirmed following normal renal function glucose tolerance tests. Cox models applied. Results The study included 1,611,467 adolescents, of whom 755 (0.05%) had latter group a higher proportion males (75% vs...

Thoracic injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in military trauma. Tension pneumothorax (TPX) is critical diagnosis that can lead to rapid hemodynamic respiratory collapse if untreated. While timely intervention essential, prehospital TPX challenging may unnecessary interventions. This study aimed assess chest injury management, including indications for decompression clinical improvement post-intervention. Retrospective analysis the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Trauma...
OBJECTIVE The relationship between acute pancreatitis and incident diabetes is unclear. We assessed whether a resolved single event of in childhood was associated with adulthood. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A nationwide, population-based study 1,802,110 Israeli adolescents (mean age 17.4 years [range 16–20]) who were examined before compulsory military service 1979 2008 whose data linked to the National Diabetes Registry (INDR). Resolved defined as history normal pancreatic function at...
Adult hypertension is a well-established risk factor for stroke in young adults (aged <55 years), and the effects are even more deleterious than at an older age. However, data limited regarding association between adolescent of adulthood.A nationwide, retrospective cohort study adolescents 16-19 years) who were medically evaluated before compulsory military service Israel during 1985 to 2013. For each candidate service, was designated after constructed screening, diagnosis confirmed through...
Stroke is increasingly prevalent at younger ages but the risk factors are uncertain. We examined association between adolescent cognitive function and early-onset stroke.
Underdiagnosis of relevant risk factors has contributed to the increasing stroke incidence in young adults. Blood pressure cut-off values for adolescents are neither sex specific nor based on cardiovascular outcomes.
Abstract Context The long-term risk of type 2 diabetes in adolescents with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is unclear. Objective To assess among NAFLD. Design and Setting A nationwide, population-based study Israeli who were examined before military service during 1997–2011 followed until December 31, 2016. Participants total 1 025 796 normoglycemic included. Interventions Biopsy or radiographic tests prerequisite for NAFLD diagnosis. Data linked to the National Diabetes Registry....
Immigration from one cultural milieu to another has been associated with a greater risk for incident cardio-metabolic morbidity among adults. In this nationwide, population-based, cross-sectional study of data recorded 1992 2016, we assessed the association between body mass index and blood pressure levels adolescent immigrants, aged 16 19 years, Ethiopian origin, their secular trend overweight obesity. Adolescents origin were classified as Israeli-born (n=16 153) or immigrants (N=23 487),...
Abstract Importance The increased incidence of adolescent obesity over recent decades may be associated with lower cognitive performance than the expected potential. Objective We aimed to assess association between body mass index (BMI) and function. Design A nationwide, cross-sectional, population-based study. Setting Pre-recruitment evaluation for military service during 1967-2018. Participants All Israeli-born adolescents, 1 459 522 males 027 953 females aged 16 ≤20 years. Exposures...
Abstract Context Thyroid hormones play a key role in systemic metabolism, yet the relationship between thyroid dysfunction and risk for type 2 diabetes is unclear. Objective To assess adulthood among adolescents with disorders. Design Setting A nationwide, population-based study of Israeli who were examined before military recruitment during 1988 to 2007 followed until December 31, 2016. Participants 1 382 560 (mean age 17.3 years). Interventions The diagnosis disorders was based on recent...
Cognitive function among apparently healthy adolescents has been associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We examined the relationship between global subdomain cognitive scores in adolescence early-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) men women.A nationwide, population-based study of 971,677 Israeli born (56% men; mean age 17.4 years) who were medically their performance was assessed before compulsory military service during 1992-2010. Data included Z-scores (problem-solving, verbal...
Background: The rising incidence of stroke among young adults is partly explained by underdiagnosis risk factors such as hypertension. Current blood pressure cutoff values for hypertension diagnosis in adolescence are not based on cardiovascular outcomes and lack specificity sex, even though female adolescents have lower values. Methods: A nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study including data all Israeli (16-19 years) who were evaluated prior to mandatory military service...
