Globally, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing among children adolescents. Halting rise in a significant challenge because complex interplay factors influences. We aimed to explore role family socioeconomic status (SES) indicators relation rates primary school North Macedonia. Materials methods: Data were collected on nationally representative sample their parent(s)/caregiver(s) participating 6th round World Health Organization (WHO)-European Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative (COSI) Every child had height weight objectively measured sociodemographic SES data obtained through self-reported record form by parent(s)/caregiver(s). According COSI reporting, responses three (parental educational attainment, parental employment family-perceived wealth) categorized levels for analysis. Overweight estimated based 2007 WHO growth references. Pearson’s χ2-tests, corrected with Rao-Scott method, used test differences across various subgroups. Results: The consisted primarily native-born (97.3%) parents (mothers - 96.2%; fathers 97.6%), living urban areas (66.9%), two-parent families (84.9%) spoke Macedonian at home (59.8%). majority lived low medium level. Prevalence was 30.5% [95% CI: 28.5-32.7], whilst 14.1% 12.3-16.0]. There no observed or rates. Conclusion: Our findings contribute towards reporting better understand address potential risk factors. Future research should focus exploring within long-term context children’s health-related behaviours.

Obesity is a multifactorial disease influenced by several factors including poor diet, physical inactivity, and genetic predisposition. In recent years, the social environmental context, along with race/ethnicity gender, have been recognized as influencing obesity risk beyond traditional factors. This review aims to increase knowledge of these causal determinants their implications for treatment management obesity, addressing not only individual but also societal sphere. A growing body evidence emphasizes interaction between environments in shaping personal behaviors related obesity. Social disparities, such socioeconomic status (income, education, employment), racial/ethnic differences, contribute significantly weight gain from childhood adulthood. These cardiovascular factors, independent clinical demographic variables, may lead stigma discrimination against those affected. prevention solutions, community programs national policies, be more effective if they address social, ethnic barriers. Understanding requires comprehensive approach that includes environmental, psychological well biological causes, help experts develop interventions tailored diseases.

Chronodisruption, marked by circadian rhythm misalignment, is linked to inflammatory diseases like obesity. Chronotypes, reflecting individual behavior, include morning, intermediate, and evening types, with chronotypes showing worse body composition higher metabolic risk. This study evaluated the profile of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) across in individuals obesity examined clock gene expression. Twenty-five participants (11/14 F/M, BMI 41.59 ± 7.69 kg/m², age 41.13 11.08 years) candidates for bariatric surgery were classified using Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ): morning (36%), intermediate (28%), or (36%) chronotypes.

Abstract Summary Obesity is a heterogeneous and multifactorial disease with strong genetic component. While polygenic obesity accounts for most common cases, rare monogenic variants contribute, particularly in severe, early-onset obesity. Among the lesser-studied candidates are UCP3 PCSK1, genes involved key metabolic pathways. Recent Findings The p.Val192Ile (c.574G > A) PCSK1 p.Asn221Asp (c.661 A G) have been independently associated pathways, including fatty acid oxidation hormone processing, as well modestly increased risk of Clinical characterization two patients severe revealed co-occurrence these variants, which were disturbances such insulin resistance.

Our findings support model distinct may interact synergistically exacerbate severity. Further studies needed elucidate combined effects contributions pathogenesis.

In a cohort PWT1D patients, this study assesses (i) frequencies associated clinicodemographic characteristics, (ii) (iii) the use noninsulin adjunctive agents. Materials Methods Cross‐sectional analysis self‐reported data from BETTER registry: 1091 (aged 44.4 ± 15.0 years; 32% HbA1c<7% [53 mmol/mol]) classified by BMI classes: underweight combined normal weight, overweight, or obesity.

Subsequently, conducted analyses involving associations, regressions, moderations among under scrutiny. The results revealed statistically significant variations in daily usage across different countries, residences, age groups, educational levels, marital statuses. Factors such as living urban or suburban environment, being youth demographic, possessing higher education, maintaining single status, having extensive network, holding negative perception health, lacking home access but at work go, along with facilitation online communication remote work, collectively explain variance time. relationship duration is moderated by (gender, age, status) well (locations contacts).
