TL;DR

Higher body size in childhood is not a risk factor for later life insomnia, whereas higher body size in adulthood was, in both univariable and multivariable analysis, increased body size in adulthood increased the risk of having insomnia and a morning chronotype.

Elucidating the proteomic pathways linking childhood body mass index with type 2 diabetes: a Mendelian randomization and recall-by-genotype study

The authors' study identified putative actionable proteins that could reduce the elevated T2D risk attributable to childhood adiposity in Europeans, but their relevance in Asian populations requires further investigation.

Circadian distribution of carbohydrate intake during adolescence and association with risk markers of type 2 diabetes in adulthood—the role of chronotype

Adolescence is a critical phase characterized by temporary insulin resistance and a tendency for a later chronotype, potentially influencing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) later in life. This study explores how morning and evening carbohydrate (CHO) intake during adolescence are prospectively related to T...

Sleep Duration and Quality, Sleep Disorders and Their Association with Adiposity Markers in Adults from the Middle East: A Systematic Review

Introduction Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) populations face a high burden of metabolic syndrome; however, the potential associations between poor sleep and adiposity remain unexplored in these groups. To address this gap, the present systematic review evaluated the correlations between sleep duration, sleep q...

Life course adiposity and risk of incident osteoporosis: a prospective cohort study from the UK Biobank

Introduction Adiposity across the life course may influence osteoporosis (OP) risk, yet the relative contributions of early-life and adult adiposity, their trajectories, and underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Methods We analyzed 357,903 participants from the UK Biobank with a median follow-up of 15.7 years...

Associations between adult obesity and mid-life weight change patterns with cardiometabolic health in early old age: Evidence from the 1958 British birth cohort

Background: Cardiometabolic health typically declines with age and is worse among individuals living with obesity. Weight loss medications have modified the potential for weight loss across the life course, but it remains unclear whether weight reduction in later midlife contributes to improved cardiometabolic health,...

Effects of maternal and paternal smoking on offspring cardiometabolic risk factors in adulthood: a multi-method intergenerational Mendelian randomization study

Little evidence that maternal smoking initiation affected WHR is found, and little evidence that maternal smoking heaviness affected the remaining cardiometabolic risk factors; paternal smoking showed no clear effect on any outcome.
