Obesity is one of the most significant health problems facing children and adolescents. The definition of overweight in children is a body mass index between the 85th and less than 95th percentile, whereas obesity is greater than or equal to the 95th percentile for age and sex. There are multiple comorbidities associated with obesity, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, as well as psychosocial issues. Contributors to obesity are multifactorial, including genetic and environmental factors. Environmental factors associated with obesity include increased availability of inexpensive fast food, sugar-sweetened beverages, and high-fat and -sugar convenience foods; decreased exercise; and increased screen time. Treatment begins with behavioral interventions focusing on dietary modifications and increasing physical activity. Although medications to treat obesity are an area of increased interest, options in the pediatric population are limited. Currently, orlistat is the only FDA-approved option. For the treatment of severe obesity, bariatric surgery should be considered, based on age, weight, and associated comorbidities. Weight loss associated with surgery is robust and long-lasting and results in improvement in/resolution of multiple comorbidities. However, benefits should also be weighed against the long-term risks of vitamin deficiency. This review contains 73 references, 3 figures, and 3 tables.

The effects of frozen storage on weight loss during freezing, cooking yield, dimensional changes, and instrumental texture parameters of tilapia fish burger were evaluated during 6 months. Frozen storage for 1 month significantly increased the fish burger shear force, hardness and thickness reduction. Weight loss during freezing (0.6 ± 0.1 %) did not increase with storage time. There was no hardness (29.9 ± 0.7 N) and shear force (5.5 ± 0.2 N) increase during the frozen storage from 1 to 6 months. Tilapia fish burger can be stored for up to 6 months with minor physical changes.

The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide at an alarming rate in both developed and developing countries. Obesity is a chronic complex disease of multifactorial origin resulting from a long-term positive energy balance, in which both genetic and environmental factors are involved. Genetically prone individuals are the first to accumulate fat in the present obesogenic environment. Obesity increases the risks of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, arthritis, and several cancers and reduces the average life expectancy. Implementation of effective strategies in prevention and management of obesity should become an important target in health care systems. Weight changes throughout life depend on the interaction of behavioral, genetic and environmental factors. Weight loss in response to weight management shows a wide range of interindividual variation which is largely influenced by genetic determinants. The strong control of weight loss by genotype was confirmed by twin and family studies. Recently, special attention has been paid to nutritional, hormonal, psychobehavioral and genetic factors which can predict the response to weight reduction programme. In this article currently available data on the role of obesity candidate gene polymorphisms in weight loss and maintenance are reviewed. It is believed that an elucidation of the genetic component in the prognosis of weight management could assist in the development of more effective and individually tailored therapeutic strategies.

The purpose of this research was to determine if freezing rates and holding temperatures influence peach quality during short- and long-term frozen storage. Fresh peaches (Prunus persica) were purchased locally, sliced, dipped in 2% ascorbic acid then drained, and packaged. The study was divided into two experiments, one to determine the effect of the freezing rate on peach quality and the second to determine the effect of frozen holding temperatures on peach quality. For the freezing rate experiment, freshly packaged peaches were placed in freezers at different temperatures (-7°C, -12°C, -18°C, -29°C, and -77°C) then removed for testing when the core temperature of the peaches reached the temperature of all freezer temperatures. The second experiment determined the long-term holding effect on quality using both fresh and prefrozen peaches held at -7°C, -12°C, -18°C, -29°C, and -77°C through 360 days. Quality measurements included freeze thaw and weight loss, lightness, firmness, moisture content, ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity (AAEAC), hexanal detection using gas chromatography (GC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and sensory evaluation. During the freezing phase (experiment 1), peach weight loss and surface ice crystal pore size significantly decreased with increased freezing rates. Peaches held at -77°C and -29°C maintained overall quality to a greater degree than the higher holding temperatures. However, all samples enzymatically browned when thawed; therefore, frozen peaches may best if used in the frozen state or in applications where appearance is a critical factor. In general, fresh and prefrozen peaches were not acceptable by the sensory panelists after 270 days of frozen storage.

It is widely believed that marketing route—time and distance between farm and abattoir—influences live weight and carcass weight loss in lambs and thus killing out. Killing out s i defined as the ratio of carcass weight to live weight but the value depends upon the live weight and carcass weight used. Differences may exist between the farm live weight immediately before loading, live weight in the market, live weight on arrival at the abattoir and live weight immediately before slaughter. Killing out is influenced by the weight of gut contents, whether the carcass is weighed hot or cold, type of feeding system, maturity (age) of the lamb, breed, conformation and fatness. It may also be influenced by environmental factors such as wetness and fleece contamination. Buyers' estimates of killing out are important when they bid for lambs in auction markets and carcass weight is important in determining price paid to dead-weight sellers.

Background:Environmental factors including seasonal changes are important to guide physical activity (PA) programs to achieve or sustain weight loss. The goal was to determine seasonal variability in the amount and patterns of free-living PA in women.Methods:PA was measured in 57 healthy women from metropolitan Nashville, TN, and surrounding counties (age: 20 to 54 years, body mass index: 17 to 48 kg/m2) using an accelerometer for 7 consecutive days during 3 seasons within 1 year. PA counts and energy expenditure (EE) were measured in a whole-room indirect calorimeter and used to model accelerometer output and to calculate daily EE and intensity of PA expressed as metabolic equivalents (METs).Results:PA was lower in winter than in summer (131 ± 45 vs. 144 ± 54 × 103 counts/d; P = .025) and in spring/fall (143 ± 48 × 103 counts/d; P = .027). On weekends, PA was lower in winter than in summer by 22,652 counts/d (P = .008). In winter, women spent more time in sedentary activities than in summer (difference 35 min/d; P = .007) and less time in light activities (difference −29 min/d, P = .018) and moderate or vigorous activities (difference −6 min/d, P = .051).Conclusions:Women living in the southeastern United States had lower PA levels in winter compared with summer and spring/fall, and the magnitude of this effect was greater on weekends than weekdays.
