Athletes competing in individual sports such as judo are categorized by weight. Before competitions, weight cutting is common. This cross-sectional study was designed to characterize and determine the prevalence of rapid loss (RWL) among adolescent competitors. Male athletes aged 12- 17-years old (N = 108) were recruited from local teams. Each participant completed a validated questionnaire regarding RWL practices. Anthropometric measurements also performed. Average age 14.6 ± 1.6 years all...
Abstract Background Disordered eating (DE) is highly prevalent among adolescents, though its definition varies. The association between DE and early pubertal maturation (EPM) remains underexplored in Israel, has not been sufficiently examined using the widely-used SCOFF questionnaire. This study examines these associations adolescents. Methods Participants ( n = 2415 girls, 2095 boys; ages 12–18 years) a nationally-representative, cross-sectional Youth Health Nutrition Survey (2015–2016)...
Ultra-processed foods have known negative implications for health; however, their effect on skeletal development has never been explored. Here, we show that young rats fed ultra-processed food rich in fat and sugar suffer from growth retardation due to lesions tibial plates. The bone mineral density decreases significantly, the structural parameters of deteriorate, presenting a sieve-like appearance cortices poor trabecular long bones vertebrae. This results inferior mechanical performance...
Fasting, skipping meals, and dehydration are common methods of rapid weight loss used prior to competition in category sports. This study examines coaches' attitudes, perceptions, practices regarding among judo taekwondo athletes. A convenience sample experienced coaches trainers (n = 68) completed structured questionnaires. Participants this were 33.8 ± 9.3 years old; 57 males 11 females; 59% certified coaches, with 71% reporting over 20 involvement sports 68% having more than 10 teaching...
To estimate the association between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and relatively short stature (RSS) among adolescents.Participants in Israeli Youth Health Nutrition Survey (2015-2016), a cross-sectional school-based study, completed self-administered questionnaires underwent anthropometric measurements. Height z-score < -0.7 (<25th percentile) was defined as RSS. Multivariable logistic regression analyses assessed relation ADHD RSS, controlling for age, sex, body mass...
Dietary patterns (DPs), usually established in adolescents, are important modifiable risk factors the etiology of malnutrition and chronic diseases. This study aimed to identify DPs adolescents examine their associations with growth, sociodemographic, lifestyle characteristics.

The Israeli government has implemented new regulations requiring mandatory red warning FOPL for high levels of sodium, sugar, or saturated fats. A voluntary green positive products fitting the national nutritional recommendations was concurrently encouraged. In order characterise adult consumers' current use Nutrition Facts Tables (NFT) their attitudes towards FOPL, a...
Abstract Background Earlier studies noted that young adults with IgE‐mediated cow's milk allergy (IgE‐ CMA ) have significantly lower bone mineral density ( BMD than age‐ and gender‐matched controls. We sought to identify additional risk factors contributing the low in IgE‐ patients. Methods Postpubertal (defined by Tanner stage V) patients (n = 78; 16‐ 30‐year‐old females 17.5‐ males) were evaluated prospectively for using a DXA scan, serum values of turnover factor, dietary lifestyle...
Infantile feeding disorders (IFDs) are common causes of food refusal and failure to thrive, frequently encountered by primary care physicians specialists. We have published the Wolfson criteria for IFD, which eased approach diagnosis IFDs. Along with complementary criteria, we also developed role reversal treatment method has been briefly described earlier. The aim this study was validate on a cohort infants diagnosed as having IFD present detailed description first time.Parents children...
Abstract Background Although studies have suggested that Holocaust survivors are more likely than their non‐Holocaust‐exposed counterparts to suffer from mental and chronic morbidity, methodology differences potential confounders often compromise result replicability external validity. We examined associations between exposure as well overall risk of mortality.
