Leading Causes of Obesity During Childhood and Adolescence | Chapter 1 | Recent Updates in Disease and Health Research Vol. 8

 The Center for Disease Control considers people between the ages of 2 and 18 to be diagnosed as overweight to be greater than 85 percentiles and obesity to be 95 percentiles or higher. Obesity is a metabolic disorder characterized by an increase in body fat, characterized by an increase in adipose tissue, a child is considered obese when his or her weight is greater than 20% of the ideal.

The complications that children suffering from obesity have in the short term are increased blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy, alterations in lipid metabolism, type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, respiratory, metabolic, orthopedic, dermatological problems, metabolic syndrome, cholecystitis, fatty liver, polycystic ovary syndrome, among others. The most important approach to the prevention of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, as well as creating awareness of short, medium and long-term lifestyle changes.

Influence of Eating Habits in Human Gut Resistome | Chapter 3 | Innovations in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 6

Anthropogenic activities have a significant selective impact on many microbial communities in the most diverse habitats and produce quite expressive changes in nature. One of the most potent drivers in the selection of resistant microbes is thought to be the usage of antimicrobials. A significant portion of the antimicrobial resistance phenomena is caused by the widespread use of these xenobiotics in food production and eating behaviours, which turn food sources into reservoirs of resistance genes and pathways for their horizontal transmission. Food plays a significant role in microbial transmission in this context, and the horizontal genetic flux between exogenous microbiota and human intestinal microbiota is acknowledged. This influences the implementation of policies that restrict the use of antimicrobials in the food production chain in some countries. Aspects of the clinical resistome of the human gut microbiota in healthy persons with various dietary habits will be discussed in light of the significance of this issue.
