attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/비만증

Terminal and interstitial deletions of 2p25.3 (size < Mb), detected by array-CGH analysis, have been reported in about 18 patients sharing common clinical features represented by early-onset obesity/ overweightness associated with intellectual disabilities (ID) and behavioural troubles. This

OBJECTIVE Recent case reports suggest a link between reduced melanocortinergic tone and both obesity and attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We present the case of a 13-year-old, male, obese MC4R mutation carrier with ADHD. METHODS The boy carries a heterozygous mutation in the

We present the case report of a 2 year old boy with early onset extreme obesity (body mass index (BMI) 34.2 kg/m²; body mass index standard deviation score (BMI-SDS) 5.4) who is heterozygous for a non-conservative functionally relevant melanocortin MC(4)receptor mutation (Glu308Lys) and who also

Obesity is a general medical condition associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality. Although it would be desirable to use efficacious prevention programs, the success rates reported to date have been rather disappointing. In this observational study, a new drug treatment regimen was

We hypothesize that when two pathological conditions or personality traits share the same critical period for gene-environment interaction, we should expect further similarities, particularly from clinical and pathophysiological perspectives. They should therefore be considered as two facets of the

Background: Intensive insulin treatment is bothersome in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. High insulin dosages further increase weight gain and the risk of hypoglycemia. Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists decrease the insulin need, cause weight loss and reduce the risk of

BACKGROUND Accurate risk stratification is an important step in the initial management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and current guidelines recommend the use of risk scores, such as the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events risk score (GRACE RS). Recent studies have suggested that abdominal

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to examine body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) growth patterns from birth until five years regarding their ability to predict overweight or obesity in children at five years of age. METHODS Population-based longitudinal birth cohort study

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a heterogeneous highly heritable disorder which has recently been described to be comorbid in obese subjects. This study investigated phenotype/genotype associations in a consanguineous family with genetic obesity due to the melanocortin-4-receptor

BACKGROUND An increasing body of research points to a significant association of obesity to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and deficits in executive functions. There is also preliminary evidence suggesting that children with ADHD may be at risk of obesity in

BACKGROUND Youth with ADHD may be at increased risk for obesity. Medications used to treat ADHD can affect weight. Few studies have investigated possible gender differences in associations between ADHD and obesity. CONCLUSIONS Nationally representative of US youth aged 8-15 years. Height and weight

Recent studies have generally found an increased prevalence of overweight and obesity among children, adolescents and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the latest research suggests, that ADHD is also associated with problematic eating behaviour and eating disorders.

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have reported higher prevalence rates of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) both in eating disorders (ED) and in obese patients. We compared the psychiatric comorbidity profile of obese ADHD women with non-ADHD obese women and how ADHD symptoms impact in binge
