Abstract Background Several legacy and emerging per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been regulated around the world. There is growing concern over proliferation of alternative PFAS, as well PFAS precursors. Biomonitoring data for are critical assessing exposure human health risk.

Although insufficient sleep has emerged as a strong, independent risk factor for obesity in children, the mechanisms by which leads to weight gain are uncertain.

While insufficient sleep duration has emerged as a strong, independent risk factor for obesity, the mechanisms remain unclear. One possibility is greater "eating in absence of hunger" (EAH) or energy intake beyond point satiety, when tired.The aim was to determine whether mild loss increases EAH children.A crossover study undertaken 105 healthy children (8-12 y) with normal (∼8-11 h/night). After randomization, went bed 1 h earlier (sleep extension) later restriction) than their usual...
Objectives Hunger training (HT) is an intervention designed to teach people eat according their hunger by connecting physical symptoms of appetite with glucose levels. HT most effective for weight loss, and improving eating behaviours when adherence high. However, a challenge that should be explored prior wider dissemination. The aim this study was explore participants’ experience self-reported behaviour change related HT. Design A qualitative study, nested within randomised controlled pilot...
