Background and aimsWe aimed to describe characterize the gut microbiota composition diversity in children with obesity according their metabolic health status.MethodsAnthropometry, Triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, HOMA-IR, systolic diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) were evaluated (and z-score calculated) faecal samples collected from 191 aged 8 14. All classified depending on cardiometabolic status either a "metabolically healthy" (MHO; n = 106) or unhealthy" (MUO; 85) group. Differences...
Background: Constipation is a common disorder in children.Objective: The objective of this study to assess the beneficial effects daily supplementation with Orafti® inulin‐type fructans 2–5 year old constipated children.Methods: Double‐blind, randomised, placebo‐controlled parallel group trial where children received two doses 2 g (OF:IN) or placebo (maltodextrin) for 6 weeks. Primary outcome was stool consistency. Secondary outcomes were frequency and gastrointestinal symptoms.Results:...
<b><i>Aim:</i></b> To validate the bioimpedance analyzer (BIA) Tanita BC-418 for its clinical and epidemiological use in children compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A cross-sectional validation study was performed 7-year-old using anthropometry, BIA DXA. Whole body fat lean masses were assessed through (BIA<sub>outputs</sub>) Fat mass index (FMI) calculated. Predictive equations derived from...
<b><i>Aim:</i></b> Segmental body composition in children was assessed using the bioimpedance analyzer (BIA) TANITA BC-418 and compared with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) values. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A cross-sectional validation study which 7-year-old from Spanish subsample of EU Childhood Obesity Project were through anthropometry, BIA DXA. Main outcome measures fat lean masses trunk, left arm leg (in kg) direct outputs...
Background & aimsThe aim was to generate a predictive equation assess body composition (BC) in children with obesity using bioimpedance (BIA), and avoid bias produced by different density levels of fat free mass (FFM) this population.MethodsThis cross-sectional validation study baseline data from randomized intervention trial treat childhood obesity. Participants were 8 14y (n = 315), underwent assessments on anthropometry BC through Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP), Dual X-Ray...
The primary aim of the Obemat2.0 trial was to evaluate efficacy a multicomponent motivational program for treatment childhood obesity, coordinated between care and hospital specialized services, compared usual intervention performed in care. This cluster randomized clinical conducted Spain, with two arms: group vs. (as control), including 167 participants each. consisted interviewing, educational materials, use an eHealth physical activity monitor three group-based sessions. outcome body...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IHC), i.e. an elevated urinary calcium excretion without concomitant hypercalcemia, is a common disorder in children and can have range of clinical presentations decreased bone mineral density (BMD). <b><i>Aim:</i></b> To assess the effect IHC on content urological symptoms. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Calcium excretion, BMD (by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry),...
