The effects of Mediterranean diet on hepatic steatosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation in adolescents with non ‐alcoholic fatty liver disease: A randomized controlled trial
ConclusionConsumption of MD and LFD for 12  weeks in adolescents with obesity and NAFLD reduced BMI, fat mass, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance, improved high transaminase levels, and had positive effects on inflammation and oxidative stress.Registered underClinicalTrials.gov Identifier no. NCT04845373. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

The effects of experimentally manipulated social status and subjective social status on physical activity among Hispanic adolescents: An RCT
ConclusionsTewnty-four-hour MVPA and sedentary behaviour are not affected by an acute experimental manipulation of social status. However, low SSS, independent of SES, was associated with clinically significant differences in MVPA. SSS may be a better predictor of MVPA than SES among Hispanic adolescents, potentially influencing obesity, and other health-related outcomes. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Cross ‐sectional and prospective associations of sleep duration and bedtimes with adiposity and obesity risk in 15 810 youth from 11 international cohorts
ConclusionsIf the associations are causal, longer sleep duration and earlier bedtimes should be targeted for obesity prevention, emphasizing longer sleep for children and earlier bedtimes for adolescents. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Effects of telephone support or short message service on body mass index, eating and screen time behaviours of children age 2  years: A 3‐arm randomized controlled trial
ConclusionThe telephone or SMS support intervention had no significant effects on BMI, but was effective in increasing no bottle use at bedtime. Telephone support showed more effects than SMS on reducing screen time and eating behaviours. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Birth with synthetic oxytocin and the risk of being overweight or obese during childhood
ConclusionsOur analysis of a large cohort of children who varied in their synthetic oxytocin exposure status at childbirth did not reveal an association between oxytocin exposure and the risk of childhood overweight/obesity. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Exercise dose on hepatic fat and cardiovascular health in adolescents with excess of adiposity
ConclusionsImplementation of a 6-month physical education exercise program, particularly high-intensity or combined high and low-intensity, improves hepatic fat storage and significantly reduces cardiometabolic markers in adolescents with excess of adiposity. Interventions involving supervised physical exercise may help to improve metabolism and fat deposition at the hepatic level, thus preventing the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in adolescents.

Longitudinal associations between executive control and body mass index across childhood
ConclusionsExecutive control abilities, including automatic response modulation, being able to hold and manipulate mental information, and being able to make flexible mental transitions, may be protective against weight problems, particularly in middle childhood when these abilities have had more time to mature and children begin to gain more independence.
