healio : declared in High-dose colecalciferol may not alleviate vitamin D deficiency in overweight, obesity

The main indications for vitamin D replacement were osteoporosis/osteopenia and symptomatic vitamin D deficiency. Adults with overweight and Obesity treated with a high dose of oral colecalciferol may not achieve sufficient vitamin D levels compared with adults with normal weight, study data show. Obesity is associated with lower vitamin D levels compared with normal weight subjects, and if levels are not replaced prior to bariatric surgery, this can increase fracture risk as bone density typically falls post-operatively. Over time, total 25-(OH)D levels fell and did so at a greater rate in the overweight and obese groups compared with the normal-weight group. At 6 weeks, all groups had significant increases in total serum 25-(OH)D levels; however, increases were lower in the overweight and obese groups compared with the normal-weight group.

Little kids' regular bedtimes and ability to regulate emotions may lessen obesity risk

Researchers evaluated three household routines when children were 3 years old: regular bedtime, regular mealtime and whether or not parents limited television and video watching to an hour or less daily. Little kids' regular bedtimes and ability to regulate emotions may lessen Obesity risk Study finds link between routines, emotions and weightCOLUMBUS, Ohio – Family structure including regular bedtimes, mealtimes and limited screen time appear to be linked to better emotional health in preschoolers, and that might lower the chances of obesity later, a new study suggests. Obesity risk increased even when children "usually" had a regular bedtime, as opposed to "always." The risk was greatest for those who had the least amount of consistency in their bedtimes. Lastly, they investigated how the routines and self-regulation worked together to impact obesity at age 11, defined based on international criteria. Anderson and her colleagues also found that the absence of a regular preschool bedtime was an independent predictor of obesity at 11.


...Children with inconsistent bedtimes and poor emotional self-regulation at age 3 years may have a higher risk for Obesity at age 11 years compared with children with consistent bedtimes and better emotional self-regulation. Children were re-evaluated at age 11 years for height and weight; the International Obesity Task Force criteria were used to define obesity. Cognitive self-regulation and regular mealtimes were not associated with obesity at age 11 years, whereas poorer emotional self-regulation predicted obesity (P < .001 in univariate analyses). At age 11 years, 6% of children had obesity, and the condition was more common among children at lower levels of parental education and household income. Obesity at age 11 years was associated with inconsistent bedtimes (OR = 1.87; 95% CI, 1.39-2.51) and poorer emotional self-regulation (OR = 1.38; 95% CI, 1.11-1.71) in the fully adjusted analysis.
