OBJECTIVE
To compare crystalline lens density in obese and nonobese children.
METHODS
A total of 40 obese (25 females) and 46 age-sex matched controls (26 females) were included in this prospective study. Children with ocular diseases (except for mild refractive errors), ocular trauma, or surgery
Obesity is believed to accelerate age-related cataractogenesis through various biomechanisms. On the contrary, there are also studies advocating the protective role of obesity against the cataract formation process. We investigate the correlation of body mass index (BMI) as a measure Obesity is becoming the leading negative health outcome for the current generation of children to a greater degree than for any previous generation. Pediatric orthopaedic nurses encounter many patients and families with concerns about obesity and need the ability to promote parenting capacity in
The gut microbiota affects host lipid metabolism and is considered an environmental factor that contributes to development of obesity. To investigate whether the gut microbiota affects the eye lipidome, we performed comprehensive lipidomic profiling of lens and retina from conventionally raised and
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the association between cataract and mortality in a black population by type of opacity, which has not been documented previously.
METHODS
Population-based cohort study.
METHODS
The Barbados Incidence Study of Eye Diseases reexamined the Barbados Eye Study cohort, identified
OBJECTIVE
This paper presents a discussion of the application of a feminist poststructuralist-based theoretical framework as an innovative approach towards understanding and managing the complex health issue of obesity.
BACKGROUND
Obesity is often viewed as a lifestyle choice for which the
Lenses of Yellow KK mice with marked obesity and diabetic symptoms were examined by light and electron microscopy. At 2 months of age, the entire lens appeared normal. At 4 months, however, epithelial cells sometimes had become necrotic and showed intranuclear inclusions. At 6 months, the anterior
OBJECTIVE
to examine the social correlates of pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity in an Australian population-based sample and consider implications for intervention effectiveness during pregnancy.
METHODS
population-based survey distributed by hospitals to women 6 months after birth.

Networks controlling ingestion-related peptides are also known to be the targets and signals for numerous other systems. Yet, their topological properties are still ill understood. The Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was employed to represent molecules engaged in feeding as nodes, and the
Lentil, a moderate-energy high-protein pulse crop, provides significant amounts of essential nutrients for healthy living. The objective of this study was to determine if a lentil-based diet affects food and energy intake, body weight, percent body fat, liver weight, and body plasma triacylglycerols
Sorbitol levels were determined in lens of genetically obese (ob/ob) and diabetic (db/db) mice, as well as in lean mice (+/db, +/ob) made diabetic by administration of streptozotocin (STZ). Treatment of lean mice with STZ resulted in hypoinsulinemia, whereas the ob/ob and db/db mice were
