The prevalence of overweight and obesity has also increased substantially in the nutritional transition countries, and the health burden of obesity‐related complications is growing. The introduction of fast‐food chains and Westernized dietary habits providing meals with fast‐food characteristics seems to be a marker of the increasing prevalence of obesity. The mechanisms involved are probably that the supply of foods is characterized by large portion sizes with a high energy density, and sugar… Expand

Global research efforts to identify and promote intake of culturally-acceptable high-quality staple foods could be crucial in preventing diabetes. Expand
Metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, hypertension and type 2 diabetes in youth: from diagnosis to treatment
TLDR
The most important conclusion drawn from this symposium was that if the growing prevalence of overweight and obesity continues at this pace, the result will be a population of children and adolescents with metabolic syndrome, which would lead to high mortality rates in young adults, changing the current increasing trend of worldwide longevity. Expand
Differences in diet between the 19th and 21st centuries: could they lead to insulin and leptin resistance and inflammation?
TLDR
It is demonstrated that high-fat diets lead to obesity and induce inflammation in peripheral tissues and hypothalamus, promoting insulin and leptin resistance, and other signaling pathways that are involved in insulin resistance can also be regulated by saturated/trans fatty acids through TLR4. Expand
Calorie Restriction and Obesity under the Regulation of SIRT1
TLDR
The present review focuses on CR related with obesity and also the relationship between CR and SIRT1 in metabolic mechanism levels, and resveratrol, as an activator of SIRT2, and the beneficial effects of resver atrol are introduced. Expand
Differential response of rat strains to obesogenic diets underlines the importance of genetic makeup of an individual towards obesity
TLDR
It is demonstrated that WNIN is more prone to develop obesity and associated co-morbidities under high calorie environment, which underlines the cumulative role of genetics (nature) and diet (nurture) towards the development of obesity, which is critical for understanding this epidemic and devising new strategies to control and manage this modern malady.

Determinants of childhood overweight and obesity in China
TLDR
Fat intake, low intensity activities and active transport to/from school may be suitable entry points for overweight prevention among Chinese school children and parental weight status is an important determinant. Expand
Fast food: unfriendly and unhealthy
TLDR
It is found that fast food from major chains in most countries still contains unacceptably high levels of industrially produced trans-fatty acids (IP-TFA), which have powerful biological effects and may contribute to increased weight gain, abdominal obesity, type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease. Expand
Low-fat diets and energy balance: how does the evidence stand in 2002?
TLDR
The evidence strongly supports the low-fat diet as the optimal choice for the prevention of weight gain and obesity, while the use of a normal-fat high-monounsaturated fatty acid diet is unsubstantiated. Expand

TLDR
Consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks is associated with obesity in children and this relation was examined in 548 ethnically diverse schoolchildren from public schools in four Massachusetts communities. Expand
