Strict maternal feeding practices not linked to child weight gainMay 26, 2009 - EurekAlert / Obesity A new study published online in the journal Obesity provides further evidence that strict maternal control over eating habits – such as determining how much a child should eat and coaxing them to eat certain foods – during early childhood may not lead to significant future weight gain in boys or girls. Instead, this behavior may be a response to concerns over a child's increasing weight More than a bad night's sleepMay 21, 2009 -�EurekAlert / Diabetes Care A Temple University-led study found that nearly 87 percent of obese, type 2 diabetics reported symptoms of sleep apnea, but were never diagnosed New direction needed for obesity research, Deakin health expert claimsMost of the current obesity research is not proving helpful in finding solutions to the growing international epidemic, according to a Deakin University public health expert. Professor Boyd Swinburn believes that research funding would be better directed at testing possible solutions rather than continuing to unpick what is causing the rise in obesity Action of ghrelin hormone increases appetite and favors accumulation of abdominal fatMay 20, 2009 - EurekAlert / International Journal of Obesity The ghrelin hormone not only stimulates the brain giving rise to an increase in appetite, but also favors the accumulation of lipids in visceral fatty tissue, located in the abdominal zone and considered to be the most harmful Obese moms, asthmatic kidsMay 19, 2009 - EurekAlert / American Thoracic Society International Conference Babies born to obese mothers may have an increased risk of asthma Heart disease patients carrying extra pounds do better, live longerMay 18, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of American College of Cardiology Being overweight or obese is a leading contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and associated risk factors; however, in patients with established CVD, obesity appears to play a protective role. In fact, data suggest obese patients with heart disease do better and tend to live longer than leaner patients with the same severity of disease A molecular link between sleep and weight gainMay 18, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of Clinical Investigation There appears to be a link between sleep and weight control, with some studies indicating that sleep disruption can increase weight gain and other studies that diet affects sleep. New research now provides molecular evidence to support this association. It is shown that T-type calcium channels regulate body weight maintenance and sleep in mice, suggesting that sleep and circadian treatment approaches may be of benefit in the fight against obesity Weight loss in old age may signal dementiaMay 18, 2009 - EurekAlert / Neurology A new study shows that older people who are thinner or are losing weight quickly are at a higher risk of developing dementia, especially if they started out overweight or obese Turmeric extract suppresses fat tissue growth in rodent modelsMay 18, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of Nutrition Curcumin, the major polyphenol found in turmeric, appears to reduce weight gain in mice and suppress the growth of fat tissue in mice and cell models. Researchers studied mice fed high fat diets supplemented with curcumin and cell cultures incubated with curcumin Sleep may be factor in weight controlMay 17, 2009 - EurekAlert / American Thoracic Society International Conference Could sleep be a critical component to maintaining a healthy body weight? According to new research, body mass index is linked to length and quality of sleep in a surprisingly consistent fashion |
