Chrononutrition may affect childhood cardiometabolic health. Understanding this relationship be crucial for managing paediatric obesity. To investigate the between chrononutrition and risk factors in prepubertal children. This cross-sectional study included 93 participants (50 males, 5-12 years), categorized as healthy weight (HW, n = 34), overweight (OV, 10), obese (OB, 23) severe obesity (SOB, 26). 24-h dietary recalls assessed participants' caloric energy substrate intake, analysed...

A low ratio of omega-6/omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is associated with healthy bone properties. However, diets can induce obesity. Our objective was to evaluate intra-abdominal adiposity, insulin, and growth in rats fed a high-fat diet containing ratios provided canola oil. After weaning, were grouped either control (7S), soybean oil (19S) or (19C) until they 60 days old. Differences considered be significant if p<0.05. days, the 19S 19C groups showed more energy intake, body density...

The benefits of swimming as a treatment for overweight children are undefined. We investigated the effects recreational on cardiometabolic risk in children/adolescents with normal and excess weight. Participants (n = 49, 26 girls, 10.3 ± 1.8 y) were grouped ‘eutrophic swimming’ (EU-Swim, n 14); ‘excess weight (EW-Swim, 20) an ‘obese subgroup (OB-Swim, 10); sedentary’ (EW-Sed, 15) (OB-Sed, 11). Swimming (50 min, twice/week, moderate-vigorous intensity) was extra activity during school year (6...
