“…It is generally believed that physical activity practice might lead to decreased body weight and percentage of body fat, improved glucose uptake and decreased fasting insulin concentrations [18]. Several studies have shown that lifestyle changes, such as healthier food intake and increased physical activity have a beneficial effect on weight loss in children andadults [19,20,21]. However, the bioactive compounds have been widely used.…”

Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a plant originated in Brazil that presents a beneficial effect on body weight control and metabolic alterations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of guarana on genes and miRNAs related to adipogenesis in 3T3L1 cells. The anti-adipogenic effect of guarana was evaluated by Oil Red-O staining. Gene and miRNA expression levels were determined by real time PCR. The Cebpα and β-catenin nuclear translocation were evaluated using immunocytochemistry. Our data indicated that the triglyceride-reducing effect of guarana was dose-dependent from 100 to 300 µg/mL (−12%, −20%, −24% and −40%, respectively, p < 0.0001). An up-regulation of the anti-adipogenic genes Wnt10b, Wnt3a, Wnt1, Gata3 and Dlk1 and a down-regulation of pro-adipogenic genes Cebpα, Pparγ and Creb1 were also observed. Furthermore, guarana repressed mmu-miR-27b-3p, mmu-miR-34b-5p and mmu-miR-760-5p, that contributed for up-regulation of their molecular targets Wnt3a, Wnt1 and Wnt10b. Additionally, cells treated with guarana presented an increase on β-catenin nuclear translocation (p < 0.0018). In summary, our data indicate that guarana has an anti-adipogenic potential due to its ability to modulate miRNAs and genes related to this process. Together our data demonstrate the important role of guarana as a putative therapeutic agent.

“…Even though some of the lifestyle modification programs have shown success regarding a decrease in BMI, a perfect solution has not emerged. Beginning these programs at an early age, such as primary school, as well as combining nutrition and physical activity has shown to yield the best results [31,32]. However, particular target groups, such as those with a migration background or low SES, remain hardly accessible.…”

Background: Juvenile overweight is increasing, and effective preventive measures are needed. After years of arbitrarily assigning these measures disregarding socioeconomic and/or cultural differences, it has become necessary to tailor interventions more specific to these target groups. Providing data for such an intervention is the objective of this study. Methods: Influencing variables on children's weight status, motor skills and lifestyle have been analyzed among 997 first graders (53.2% male) involved in the Children's Health InterventionaL Trial (CHILT). Results: Median age was 6.9 years; 7.3% were obese, 8.8% were overweight. Children with low socioeconomic status (SES) were more likely to be obese (p = 0.029). Low SES (p ˂ 0.001), migration background (p = 0.001) and low sports activity levels (p = 0.007) contributed most to an increased consumption of television. Migration background (p = 0.003) and male gender (p < 0.001) were the strongest factors in predicting a greater consumption of computer/video games. Children with higher SES (p = 0.02), lower BMI (p = 0.035), and males (p = 0.001) performed better in motor tests. Conclusion: Children with a low SES and migration background were more likely to exhibit unfavorable health behavior patterns, higher BMI scores, and poorer motor skills. Interventions should integrate motivational and targeting strategies and consider cultural and educational differences to address these vulnerable groups.

“…[12][13][14] Researchers have found that interventions designed with both face-toface and technology strategies are more effective than those with only face-to-face components. 15 However, technology strategies and supports, can include a wide range of approaches.…”

Design: Randomized control trial.Setting: Community-based participatory childhood obesity prevention program.Participants: 288 dyads; youth (9.4±0.7 years old) and adult primary meal preparers (39.0±8 years). Intervention(s):Six in-person sessions to increase families cooking, eating and playing together with online between-session technology components of curriculum.Main Outcome Measure(s): Baseline, 4, 12, and 24-month assessments included measured anthropometrics for youth and online surveys about camera and website skill and use for dyads. Session leaders and participants completed open-ended process evaluations after each session about technology components.Analysis: Chi Square analysis computed for gender differences in technology variables. Relationships between video posting frequency and outcomes of interest (cooking frequency, self-efficacy and skills; dietary intake; and body mass index [BMI]) were tested with Spearman correlations.Process evaluations and open-ended survey responses were thematically analyzed for beneficial and inhibiting factors including technology components in the curriculum.Results: Only 78.6% of youth and 68.3% of adults reported always being comfortable accessing the internet post-intervention. Male youth reported being more comfortable with technology tasks than females (p< 0.05). Youth who posted more videos had higher cooking skills at 4-months post-intervention (r=0.189, p=0.05). Barriers to website usage reported most frequently by youth included lack of accessibility, remembering, interactivity, motivation, time, and lack of parental encouragement. Conclusions and Implications:Incorporating technology supports, like cameras and websites, into youth programs may help produce improved outcomes. Identifying barriers to and patterns of technology usage need to be considered when developing future youth health-promotion interventions.
