“…This could lead to reproductive and mental disorders as well as to metabolic diseases by altering hormone regulation of food intake, appetite and satiety [104]. Even if the mechanisms behind this dysbiosis are still not clarified, the impact of EDs on intestinal microbiota may be responsible for obesity even in young children [105]. EDs influence the gut‐microbiome dialogue and can lead to dysbiosis.…”

The prevalence of metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and chronic liver diseases among others, has been rising for several years. Epidemiology and mechanistic (in vivo, in vitro and in silico) toxicology have recently provided compelling evidence implicating the chemical environment in the pathogenesis of these diseases. In this review, we will describe the biological processes that contribute to the development of metabolic diseases targeted by metabolic disruptors, and will propose an integrated pathophysiological vision of their effects on several organs. With regard to these pathomechanisms, we will discuss the needs, and the stakes of evolving the testing and assessment of endocrine disruptors to improve the prevention and management of metabolic diseases that have become a global epidemic since the end of last century.

“…Among the environmental determinants of health outcomes outside of nutritional status, because there are broader social contexts involved in diet quality and exercise frequency [ 9 ], it is argued that the influence of social environmental factors is fundamental [ 9 , 10 ]. Nevertheless, prior socioecological studies concerning nutritional status have mainly concentrated on built environmental components such as obesogens [ 11 ], air pollution [ 12 ], intersection density [ 13 ], and food outlets [ 14 ].…”

Previous research linking social capital to child nutritional status primarily constitutes cross-sectional studies. To investigate whether a longitudinal relationship exists, by conducting fixed-effects analyses with 16,977 repeatedly measured observations of 6193 children from the 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018 China Family Panel Studies, this study explored the longitudinal effects of neighborhood participation, bonding trust, and bridging trust on the BMI-for-age z-score (BAZ) and BMI categories of school-aged children, differentiating between urban and rural residence. We found an increasing average BAZ, a decreasing prevalence of underweight, an increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity, and a reducing urban/rural gap in nutritional status. The levels of social capital components descended faster in the urban area. Bonding trust was predictive of a lower BAZ, a higher likelihood of being underweight, and a lower likelihood of being overweight/obese. Bridging trust was predictive of a higher BAZ. The longitudinal effects of bonding trust were significant among only the rural children. Our findings indicate that neighborhood social capital may impose causal impacts on the nutritional status of children. To effectively improve child nutritional status, a more empathetic governmental approach that promotes a more supportive distal social environment is needed.

“…[3] The highest obesity rates can be found in the American and European regions, with the United States and Russia having the highest rates. With the serious health consequences of obesity, including comorbidities and mortality, concerted efforts from governments, the scientific community, individuals, and the food industry are required to address and control the obesity pandemic [4] Original Article…”

Obesity or Adiposity is a worldwide common health problem that is related with an augmented risk of a number of medical conditions, morbidity and mortality. This mini review recapitulates the epidemiology, Etiology, associated comorbidities, biomarkers and available pharmacotherapy of obesity. The epidemiology of obesity is increasing in low-, middle- and high-income countries, with sociodemographic, behavioural, and genetic factors all playing a role. Comorbidities include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, stroke, coronary artery disease, and melanoma. Biomarkers associated with obesity include anthropometric markers, biochemical markers, hormonal markers, molecular biomarkers. Obesity related Oxidative stress is also discussed in this paper as per current findings from various clinical and preclinical data available up to January 2023.Treatment approaches range from lifestyle changes to pharmacotherapy and surgery. The available pharmacotherapy is either connected with precarious ill effects or overpriced, therefore, alternative therapies for obesity attenuation are required. Article under discussion provides an insight into oxidative stress attenuation, gene therapy via biomarkers regulation for combating obesity. Prevention strategies should include multidimensional approaches tailored to each nation
