Patterns of weight change and progression to overweight and obesity differ in men and women: implications for research and interventions.

TL;DR: Pattern of weight change and progression to obesity during adulthood differ in men and women, and preventive intervention strategies for overweight and obesity need to consider age- and sex-specific patterns of changes in anthropometric measures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a model-based geostatistical framework to estimate HIV prevalence at the second administrative level in 44 countries in sub-Saharan Africa for 2000-18 and sought data on the number of individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) by second-level administrative unit.

Long-term C-Reactive Protein Variability and Prediction of Metabolic Risk

TL;DR: The results of this longitudinal analysis suggest the intraindividual, long-term variability of CRP concentrations is relatively small and predictive of new diabetes over an intermediate-term of 4 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary Patterns of Women Are Associated with Incident Abdominal Obesity but Not Metabolic Syndrome

TL;DR: The Higher Fat and Wine and Moderate Eating patterns showed an inverse association with abdominal obesity; certain foods might be targeted in these habitual patterns to achieve optimal dietary patterns for MetS prevention.

Virologic and immunologic correlates with the magnitude of antibody responses to the hepatitis A vaccine in HIV-infected children on highly active antiretroviral treatment.

TL;DR: In HIV-infected children on highly active antiretroviral treatment, control of viral replication and conserved or reconstituted CD19+ and CD4+ cell numbers and function determine a robust antibody response to anti-HAV primary immunization.
