TL;DR: For example, this paper found that exposure to lead during the early life stages has been associated with the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children, and a follow-up of these children will allow for more definition on the impact of longerterm exposures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relation between breakfast frequency with weight change in middle-age women over a 3-y period and found that the prevalence of weight gain ≥ 5 kg among daily breakfast consumers was 7% lower than among those who skipped breakfast.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest a strong relation between biomarkers and body size in this study population and suggest that different fat depots may have different metabolic properties.

TL;DR: The data suggest that urban setting might be an important effect modifier of this association, which merits further investigation since it might provide valuable insights into the epidemiological transition occurring in developing countries.

TL;DR: In this cross-sectional study in middle-aged women, RLS was not associated to cIMT and the observation that individuals with RLS are at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease is not supported.
