Personality traits contribute to health outcomes, in part through their association with major controllable risk factors, such as obesity. Body weight, in turn, reflects our behaviors and lifestyle and contributes to the way we perceive...
No studies have addressed the question of whether metformin reduces development of diabetes among adolescents who are obese. Metformin treatment in adolescents who are obese can modestly reduce risk factors for type 2 diabetes, including...
Weight discrimination is prevalent in American society. Although associated consistently with psychological and economic outcomes, less is known about whether weight discrimination is associated with longitudinal changes in obesity. The...
Weight loss therapy consisting of 20 to 30 lifestyle-modification group visits is associated with modest (4–8 kg) weight loss. (SOR A, based on homogeneous randomized controlled trials [RCTs].) For patients who participate in group...
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome has paralleled the sharp increase in obesity. Given its tremendous physical, emotional, and financial burden, it is of critical importance to identify who is most at risk and the potential points of...
OBJECTIVE: Personality traits underlie maladaptive behaviors, and cognitive and emotional disturbances that contribute to major preventable causes of global disease burden. This study examines detailed personality profiles of underweight...
How Safe and Effective is Pramlintide in Improving Long-Term Glycemic Control and Weight Loss in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Receiving Insulin?
Mating incurs costs to lifespan across species. Given that mating is a necessity for survival of most species, but yet has health costs, a method of modulating reproductive strategies under various environmental conditions to give...
Compared with low-fat diets, carbohydrate-restricted diets (eg, Atkins) produce more weight loss in the short term (at 6 months but not at 1 year) and produce a greater reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C). (SOR A, based on a...
Objectives: Pharmacist-managed collaborative services in a family practice setting are described, and diabetes and hypertension outcomes are assessed. Methods: Pharmacist-managed clinics, pharmacotherapy consultations, and drug...
With the number of individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on the rise, it has become more important to ensure these patients are effectively treated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 8.3% of all Americans...
Shifts in circadian rhythms, like in shift work or jet lag, have been shown to increase the risk of many metabolic disorders. Therefore, it is not surprising that many genes involved in the circadian clock mechanism have demonstrated a...
Patients with Bell's palsy have higher cure rates when treated with oral prednisolone within 72 hours of onset (SOR B, based on a single randomized controlled trial), but it is unclear what effect this therapy would have on patients with...
Personality traits and cardiorespiratory fitness in older adults are reliable predictors of health and longevity. We examined the association between personality traits and energy expenditure at rest (basal metabolic rate) and during...
The multipotent ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to differentiate into a large variety of mature cell types gives them a high potential for use in a variety of therapeutic purposes. Recently, it was discovered that bone marrow...
BACKGROUND: Many studies have linked depression and obesity; few have more than two assessments of depressive symptoms and adiposity to address the potential bidirectional relationship between adiposity and depressive symptoms from young...
Small changes in the dosing of levothyroxine (±25 mcg) are associated with large changes in serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) concentrations, but not with measurable changes in hypothyroid symptoms, well...
It is recommended that pregnant women with Graves' disease and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) antibodies be treated with an antithyroid drug, whereas those without TSH antibodies should simply be observed. Radioiodine treatment with...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the consumption of apples and moderate intensity resistance training, twice weekly, on blood glucose, abdominal circumference, blood lipids, blood pressure, BMI and insulin...
Objective: Poverty is a risk factor for obesity. Using homelessness as a marker for poverty, we examined the prevalence of obesity in Leon County, Florida's homeless population to determine their attitudes and perceptions towards the...
