“…Current intervention programmes mainly focus on implementing modifications that advocate a healthy lifestyle and inspire a behavioural change among obese youth, so they will continue to make healthier choices as they progress to adulthood. 100 These include reducing intake of energy-dense food and fast food and limit sugary beverages, while increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables and promoting physical activity. 100 It is crucial to note that children, especially younger ones, often do not make their own food choices but instead are influenced by their families.…”

Obesity in childhood and adolescence continues to be a major health issue due to significant health implications and to the economic burden that arise from treating this disease and its complications. Current data show that childhood obesity is no longer just a concern for developed countries, but more significantly affecting developing countries. In adult population, cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality and morbidity among obese patients. It is therefore believed that risk factors found in adult patients could also be observed in obese youth. These risk factors will then persist and become progressively worse if obese youth remain obese as they reach adulthood. However, risk reduction is achievable through various prevention and management strategies of obesity and obese children who become nonobese in adulthood have a significant reduction in their risk of developing cardiovascular disease.New biomarkers to improve risk assessment in obese youth are an open research field, which will eventually lead to a more targeted approach in prevention and treatment. Nevertheless, there is still a need for continuous research in understanding the roles of these biomarkers and their potential in risk prediction. Cardiovascular risk modification of childhood obesity depends on a more concerted effort among the various parties involved and particularly a global collaboration to stop the rising prevalence of the epidemic in developing countries.

“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report, there are more than 340 million overweight and obese children and adolescent (5–19 years) around the world (Greydanus et al, ). Consequently, this obesity burden will affect the current and future health of children and may reduce their life expectancy (Tyson & Frank, ). The prevalence of obesity and overweight among Iranian children and adolescents is 5.1% and 10.8%, respectively (Kelishadi, Haghdoost, Sadeghirad, & Khajehkazemi, ).…”

Introduction: It is well known that there is a strong linkage between obesity, systemic low-grade inflammation, and oxidative stress in the pediatric population. Possible strategies that might control obesity and its relevant problems in this crucial group are of utmost importance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of curcumin supplements on inflammation, oxidative stress, and chemerin levels in adolescent girls.Methods: Totally, 60 overweight and obese adolescent girls were randomly assigned to either placebo or intervention group in a randomized placebocontrolled parallel trial design. Adolescents consumed one 500-mg curcumin or placebo per day along with a slight weight loss diet for 10 weeks. High-sensitive Creactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), chemerin levels, and anthropometric measurements were assessed at the beginning and end of the trial.Results: Curcumin supplementation had a significant effect on IL-6 levels and oxidative stress markers including TAC and MDA in crude model. After controlling the effects of confounders, curcumin supplementation had a substantial effect on inflammation (hs-CRP and IL-6) and oxidative stress (TAC) marker of adolescents.Discussion: Ten weeks of curcumin supplementation had beneficial effects on inflammation and oxidative stress markers among postpubescent overweight and obese girl adolescents.

“…The location of primary malignancies was different that the tumors preferred to locate at axial line and its surrounds as age grows 24 . The standards of underweight, normal, overweight and obese depending on BMI were totally different between children and adult 25,26 , so the pure comparison of value of BMI was lack of clinical practicability. Therefore, we categorized patients into different group depending on standards of the World Health Organization for each age range before statistical analysis.…”

Background: Many researchers have focused on exploring the association between patients’ nutritional status and clinical outcomes with some easy-to-reach indicators, especially in some carcinoma with high incidence. However, there was little attention on sarcomas and the objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of some innovative nutrition associated indexes on patients with high grade osteosarcoma receiving surgical excision. Method: We retrospectively included patients’ clinical characteristics diagnosed as high grade osteosarcomas histologically receiving surgical excision from January 2008 to June 2018. Body mass index (BMI), Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), systematic inflammatory index (SII), and controlling nutritional (CONUT) score were calculated as nutritional associated factors to evaluate their prognostic value. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS) while the secondary outcome was the postoperative length of hospitalization. The relationship between clinical features and outcomes were performed by Cox and logistic regression analysis, respectively. The independent prognostic factors were chosen to construct predicted model whose internal and external accuracy were validated by concordance index (C-index), Brier score, and calibration plots.Results: High score of GPS predicted worse OS [HR (95% CI): 3.122 (1.982-4.918) versus 2.208 (1.014-4.804)] and higher rank of CONUT predicted poorer prognosis [HR (95% CI): 2.573 (1.616-4.097)] independently. The CONUT score was selected as the only prognostic factor on the length of hospitalization [HR (95% CI): 2.137 (1.270-3.596)]. The nomogram plots were used to visualize the results of predicted models whose performance was evaluated from the aspects of calibration and discrimination. Conclusion: Our study suggested prognostic value of nutritional assessment indexes including GPS and CONUT score that appropriate preoperative intervention which could optimize patients’ nutrition associated indicators may improve prognosis on patients with high grade osteosarcoma receiving surgical excision.Level of evidence: Level Ⅲ, prognostic study
