Determining biomarkers and better characterizing the biochemical progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains a clinical challenge. A targeted 1H-NMR study of serum, combined with clinical variables, detected and localized biomarkers to stages of NAFLD in morbidly obese females. Pre-surgery serum samples from 100 middle-aged, morbidly obese female subjects, grouped on gold-standard liver wedge biopsies (non-NAFLD; steatosis; and fibrosis) were collected, extracted, and analyzed in aqueous (D2O) buffer (1H, 600 MHz). Profiled concentrations were subjected to exploratory statistical analysis. Metabolites varying significantly between the non-NAFLD and steatosis groups included the ketone bodies 3-hydroxybutyrate (↓; p = 0.035) and acetone (↓; p = 0.012), and also alanine (↑; p = 0.004) and a putative pyruvate signal (↑; p = 0.003). In contrast, the steatosis and fibrosis groups were characterized by 2-hydroxyisovalerate (↑; p = 0.023), betaine (↓; p = 0.008), hypoxanthine (↓; p = 0.003), taurine (↓; p = 0.001), 2-hydroxybutyrate (↑; p = 0.045), 3-hydroxyisobutyrate (↑; p = 0.046), and increasing medium chain fatty acids. Exploratory classification models with and without clinical variables exhibited overall success rates ca. 75–85%. In the study conditions, inhibition of fatty acid oxidation and disruption of the hepatic urea cycle are supported as early features of NAFLD that continue in fibrosis. In fibrosis, markers support inflammation, hepatocyte damage, and decreased liver function. Complementarity of NMR concentrations and clinical information in classification models is shown. A broader hypothesis that standard-of-care sera can yield metabolomic information is supported.

Abstract Background The influence of home obesogenic environments, as assessed by the validated Family Nutrition and Physical Activity (FNPA) tool, and child obesity during the COVID pandemic were evaluated using electronic health records in this retrospective cohort study. Methods Historical data on BMI and the FNPA screening tool were obtained from annual well-child visits within the Geisinger Health System. The study examined youth ages 2–17 that had a BMI record and an FNPA assessment prior to the pandemic (BMI 3/1/19–2/29/20), 1 BMI record 3 months into the pandemic (6/1/20–12/31/20) and 1 BMI in the second year of the pandemic (1/1/21–12/31/21). Tertiles of obesity risk by FNPA score were examined. Mixed-effects linear regression was used to examine change in BMI slope (kg/m2 per month) pre-pandemic to pandemic using FNPA summary and subscales scores as predictors and adjusting for confounding factors. Results The analyses included 6,746 children (males: 51.7%, non-Hispanic white: 86.6%, overweight:14.8%, obesity:10.3%, severe obesity: 3.9%; mean(SD) age: 5.7(2.8) years). The rate of BMI change in BMI was greatest from early pandemic compared to pre-pandemic for children in lowest versus highest tertiles of FNPA summary score (0.079 vs. 0.044 kg/m2), FNPA-Eating (0.068 vs. 0.049 kg/m2), and FNPA-Activity (0.078 vs. 0.052 kg/m2). FNPA summary score was significantly associated with change in BMI from the pre-pandemic to early pandemic period (p = 0.014), but not associated with change in BMI during the later pandemic period. Conclusions This study provides additional insight into the changes in the rate of BMI change observed among children and adolescents in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. The FNPA provides ample opportunity to continue our exploration of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the longitudinal growth patterns among children and adolescents.

IntroductionRemote anthropometric surveillance has emerged as a strategy to accommodate lapses in growth monitoring for pediatricians during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The purpose of this investigation was to validate parent-reported anthropometry and inform acceptable remote measurement practices among rural, preschool-aged children.MethodsParent-reported height, weight, body mass index (BMI), BMI z-score, and BMI percentile for their child were collected through surveys with the assessment of their source of home measure. Objective measures were collected by clinic staff at the child’s well-child visit (WCV). Agreement was assessed using correlations, alongside an exploration of the time gap (TG) between parent-report and WCV to moderate agreement. Using parent- and objectively reported BMI z-scores, weight classification agreement was evaluated. Correction equations were applied to parent-reported anthropometrics.ResultsA total of 55 subjects were included in this study. Significant differences were observed between parent- and objectively reported weight in the overall group (−0.24 kg; p = 0.05), as well as height (−1.8 cm; p = 0.01) and BMI (0.4 kg/m2; p = 0.02) in the ≤7d TG + Direct group. Parental reporting of child anthropometry ≤7d from their WCV with direct measurements yielded the strongest correlations [r = 0.99 (weight), r = 0.95 (height), r = 0.82 (BMI), r = 0.71 (BMIz), and r = 0.68 (BMI percentile)] and greatest classification agreement among all metrics [91.67% (weight), 54.17% (height), 83.33% (BMI), 91.67% (BMIz), and 33.33% (BMI percentile)]. Corrections did not remarkably improve correlations.DiscussionRemote pediatric anthropometry is a valid supplement for clinical assessment, conditional on direct measurement within 7 days. In rural populations where socioenvironmental barriers exist to care and surveillance, we highlight the utility of telemedicine for providers and researchers.

Background: Obesity is a risk factor for COVID-19 severity. Recent studies suggest that prior metabolic surgery (MS) modifies the risk of COVID-19 severity. Methods: COVID-19 outcomes were compared between patients with MS (n = 287) and a matched cohort of unoperated patients (n = 861). Multiple logistic regression was used to identify predictors of hospitalization. A systematic literature review and pooled analysis was conducted to provide overall evidence of the influence of prior metabolic surgery on COVID-19 outcomes. Results: COVID-19 patients with MS had less hospitalization (9.8% versus 14.3%, p = 0.049). Age 70+, higher BMI, and low weight regain after MS were associated with more hospitalization after COVID-19. A systematic review of 7 studies confirmed that MS reduced the risk of post-COVID-19 hospitalization (OR = 0.71, 95%CI = [0.61–0.83], p

Guidelines recommend primary care providers refer children with obesity to behavioral interventions, but given limited program availability, access, and parental engagement, referrals remain rare. We developed telehealth coaching interventions for families whose children received care at a health system in Pennsylvania, United States in 2019-2020. Intervention referrals were facilitated by the pediatrician and/or project team for 6–12-year-old children with obesity following well-child visits. Participants chose one of three 26-week interventions focused on healthy eating, physical activity, or a hybrid clinical/nutrition intervention. Interventions engaged parents as change agents, enhancing self-efficacy to model and reinforce behavior and providing resources to help create a healthy home environment. We enrolled 77 of 183 eligible parent/child dyads. We used mixed methods to evaluate the interventions. Repeated measures models among participants showed significant reductions in obesogenic nutrition behaviors post-intervention and at 1-year follow-up, including a reduction in sugar-sweetened beverage intake of 2.14 servings/week (95% confidence interval: −3.45, −0.82). There were also improvements in obesoprotective nutrition behaviors (e.g., frequency of family meals, parental self-efficacy related to meal management). One year post-baseline, we observed no significant differences in changes in body mass index (BMI) z-scores comparing child participants with matched controls. Given potential impacts of COVID-19 community restrictions on study outcomes, we conducted qualitative interviews with 13 participants during restrictions, which exemplified how disrupted routines constrained children’s healthy behaviors but that intervention participation prepared parents by providing cooking and physical activities at home. Findings support the potential of a telehealth-delivered nutrition intervention to support adoption of healthy weight behaviors.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: Understanding dietary patterns and nutrient intakes of the aging population may help address concerns and dietary guidelines regarding their nutritional needs. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that a healthy dietary pattern in the oldest old (aged 80 years and older) is related to greater compliance with dietary recommendations and better nutrient intake profiles. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 122 participants aged 82 to 97 years old from the Geisinger Rural Aging Study (GRAS) cohort in rural Pennsylvania (n = 56 men and 66 women). The main outcome measures of the investigation were the daily nutrient intakes and food group intakes evaluated from the average of three 24-hour dietary recalls. The dietary patterns were determined by cluster analysis from 28 food groups. Diet quality and adherence to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans was assessed by the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 and the Dietary Screening Tool (DST). Recommended intakes were determined by the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) or Adequate Intakes (AIs). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Less than 50% of participants met the dietary recommended intakes for vitamins D, E, K, B6, dietary fiber, zinc, potassium, and calcium. The more-nutrient-dense cluster was characterized by higher intakes of fruits and vegetables. The less-nutrient-dense cluster was characterized by higher intakes of foods including desserts and sweets. After adjusting for age, sex, and energy intake, participants in the more-nutrient-dense dietary pattern had a higher intake of vitamins A, D, K, C, fiber, and potassium (p < 0.05 for all). After adjusting for age and sex, participants in the more-nutrient-dense pattern had better diet quality assessed by the (HEI)-2015 (p < 0.001) and DST (p = 0.006). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Among the oldest old, many participants were found to have nutrient intakes lower than the recommended levels for fundamental nutrients suggesting that dietary guidance in addition to a dietary pattern more aligned with dietary guidelines may be beneficial for supporting healthy aging.

Objectives. The accumulation of lipids stored as excess triglycerides in the liver (steatosis) is highly prevalent in obesity and has been associated with several clinical characteristics, but most studies have been based on relatively small sample sizes using a limited set of variables. We sought to identify clinical factors associated with liver fat accumulation in a large cohort of patients with extreme obesity. Methods. We analyzed 2929 patients undergoing intraoperative liver biopsy during a primary bariatric surgery. Univariate and multivariate regression modeling was used to identify associations with over 200 clinical variables with the presence of any fat in the liver and with moderate to severe versus mild fat accumulation. Results. A total of 19 data elements were associated with the presence of liver fat and 11 with severity of liver fat including ALT and AST, plasma lipid, glucose, and iron metabolism variables, several medications and laboratory measures, and sleep apnea. The accuracy of a multiple logistic regression model for presence of liver fat was 81% and for severity of liver fat accumulation was 77%. Conclusions. A limited set of clinical factors can be used to model hepatic fat accumulation with moderate accuracy and may provide potential mechanistic insights in the setting of extreme obesity.

Leading causes in global health-related burden include stress, depression, anger, fatigue, insomnia, substance abuse, and increased suicidality. While all individuals are at risk, certain career fields such as military service are at an elevated risk. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is highly effective at treating mental health disorders but suffers from low compliance and high dropout rates in military environments. The current study conducted a randomized controlled trial with military personnel to assess outcomes for an asymptomatic group (n = 10) not receiving mental health treatment, a symptomatic group (n = 10) using a mHealth application capable of monitoring physiological stress via a commercial wearable alerting users to the presence of stress, guiding them through stress reduction techniques, and communicating information to providers, and a symptomatic control group (n = 10) of military personnel undergoing CBT. Fifty percent of symptomatic controls dropped out of CBT early and the group maintained baseline symptoms. In contrast, those who used the mHealth application completed therapy and showed a significant reduction in symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and anger. The results from this study demonstrate the feasibility of pairing data-driven mobile applications with CBT in vulnerable populations, leading to an improvement in therapy compliance and a reduction in symptoms compared to CBT treatment alone. Future work is focused on the inclusion of passive sensing modalities and the integration of additional data sources to provide better insights and inform clinical decisions to improve personalized support.

Exploiting biological processes to recycle renewable carbon into high value platform chemicals provides a sustainable and greener alternative to current reliance on petrochemicals. In this regard Cupriavidus necator H16 represents a particularly promising microbial chassis due to its ability to grow on a wide range of low-cost feedstocks, including the waste gas carbon dioxide, whilst also naturally producing large quantities of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) during nutrient-limited conditions. Understanding the complex metabolic behaviour of this bacterium is a prerequisite for the design of successful engineering strategies for optimising product yields. We present a genome-scale metabolic model (GSM) of C. necator H16 (denoted iCN1361), which is directly constructed from the BioCyc database to improve the readability and reusability of the model. After the initial automated construction, we have performed extensive curation and both theoretical and experimental validation. By carrying out a genome-wide essentiality screening using a Transposon-directed Insertion site Sequencing (TraDIS) approach, we showed that the model could predict gene knockout phenotypes with a high level of accuracy. Importantly, we indicate how experimental and computational predictions can be used to improve model structure and, thus, model accuracy as well as to evaluate potential false positives identified in the experiments. Finally, by integrating transcriptomics data with iCN1361 we create a condition-specific model, which, importantly, better reflects PHB production in C. necator H16. Observed changes in the omics data and in-silico-estimated alterations in fluxes were then used to predict the regulatory control of key cellular processes. The results presented demonstrate that iCN1361 is a valuable tool for unravelling the system-level metabolic behaviour of C. necator H16 and can provide useful insights for designing metabolic engineering strategies.

Paleoecology has demonstrated potential to inform current and future land management by providing long-term baselines for fire regimes, over thousands of years covering past periods of lower/higher rainfall and temperatures. To extend this potential, more work is required for methodological innovation able to generate nuanced, relevant and clearly interpretable results. This paper presents records from Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia, as a case study where fire management is an important but socially complex modern management issue, and where palaeofire records are limited. Two new multiproxy palaeofire records are presented from Sanamere Lagoon (8,150–6,600 cal BP) and Big Willum Swamp (3,900 cal BP to present). These records combine existing methods to investigate fire occurrence, vegetation types, and relative fire intensity. Results presented here demonstrate a diversity of fire histories at different sites across Cape York Peninsula, highlighting the need for finer scale palaeofire research. Future fire management planning on Cape York Peninsula must take into account the thousands of years of active Indigenous management and this understanding can be further informed by paleoecological research.

Patient reported outcome measures (PROM) can engage patients and clinicians to improve health outcomes. Their population health impact may be limited by systematic barriers inhibiting access to completion. In this analysis we evaluated the association between individual parent/child characteristics and clinic factors with parental completion of a locally developed PROM, the Early Healthy Lifestyles (EHL) questionnaire. Participants included parent-child dyads who presented at 14 pediatric clinics for regularly scheduled well-child visits (WCV) prior to age 26 months. EHL items include feeding practices, diet, play time, screen exposure, and sleep. Completion was categorized at patient- (i.e., parent-child dyad) and clinic-levels. Parents completed the 15-item EHL in the patient portal before arrival or in the clinic; ninety-three percent of EHL questionnaires were completed in the clinic vs. 7% in the patient portal. High-completers completed EHL for half of WCVs; low-completers completed at least once; and non-completers never completed. Clinics were classified by EHL adoption level (% high completion): High-adoption: >50%; Moderate-adoption: 10%–50%; and Low-adoption: 1 clinic site for WCV (OR = 1.83 [1.34, 2.50]), non-White birth mother (OR = 1.78 [1.28, 2.47]), and body weight

Objective Determine the impact of long-term non-surgical weight loss maintenance on clinical relevance for osteoarthritis, cancer, opioid use, and depression/anxiety and healthcare resource utilization. Methods A cohort of adults receiving primary care within Geisinger Health System between 2001–2017 was retrospectively studied. Patients with ≥3 weight measurements in the two-year index period and obesity at baseline (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) were categorized: Obesity Maintainers (reference group) maintained weight within +/-3%; Weight Loss Rebounders lost ≥5% body weight in year one, regaining ≥20% of weight loss in year two; Weight Loss Maintainers lost ≥5% body weight in year one, maintaining ≥80% of weight loss. Association with development of osteoarthritis, cancer, opioid use, and depression/anxiety, was assessed; healthcare resource utilization was quantified. Magnitude of weight loss among maintainers was evaluated for impact on health outcomes. Results In total, 63,567 patients were analyzed including 67% Obesity Maintainers, 19% Weight Loss Rebounders, and 14% Weight Loss Maintainers; median follow-up was 9.7 years. Time until osteoarthritis onset was delayed for Weight Loss Maintainers compared to Obesity Maintainers (Logrank test p 15% weight loss was associated with the greatest decrease in incident osteoarthritis. Healthcare resource utilization was significantly higher for Weight Loss Rebounders and Maintainers compared to Obesity Maintainers. Increased weight loss among Weight Loss Maintainers trended with lower overall healthcare resource utilization, except for hospitalizations. Conclusions In people with obesity, sustained weight loss was associated with greater clinical benefits than regained short-term weight loss and obesity maintenance. Higher weight loss magnitudes were associated with delayed onset of osteoarthritis and led to decreased healthcare utilization.

Abstract Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent complication of extreme obesity. Loading of the liver with fat can progress to inflammation and fibrosis including cirrhosis. The molecular factors involved in the progression from simple steatosis to fibrosis remain poorly understood. Methods Gene expression profiling using microarray, PCR array, and RNA sequencing was performed on RNA from liver biopsy tissue from patients with extreme obesity. Patients were grouped based on histological findings including normal liver histology with no steatosis, lobular inflammation, or fibrosis, and grades 1, 2, 3, and 4 fibrosis with coexistent steatosis and lobular inflammation. Validation of expression was conducted using quantitative PCR. Serum analysis was performed using ELISA. Expression analysis of hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells in response to lipid loading were conducted in vitro using quantitative PCR and ELISA. Results Three orthogonal methods to profile human liver biopsy RNA each identified the chemokine CCL20 (CC chemokine ligand 20 or MIP-3 alpha) gene as one of the most up-regulated transcripts in NAFLD fibrosis relative to normal histology, validated in a replication group. CCL20 protein levels in serum measured in 224 NAFLD patients were increased in severe fibrosis (p

BACKGROUND:Formal psychosocial support programs after weight-loss surgery are limited in scope and availability. OBJECTIVE:This randomized pilot study evaluated the feasibility of a postoperative behavioral intervention program. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Postoperative weight-loss surgery patients (N = 50) were recruited from February 2017-July 2017 and randomized to a four-month behavioral program or usual care wait-list. Outcomes evaluated in addition to feasibility included health-related quality of life (Short Form -36), psychosocial functioning and adherence. Secondary outcomes included within-group changes for each outcome. RESULTS:Out of eight possible sessions, intervention participants attended a mean of 4.2 sessions. Intervention group participants experienced greater improvements in the social functioning domain of health-related quality of life compared to usual care. Self-reported dietary adherence in the intervention group remained stable, while usual care group dietary adherence declined. Within the intervention group, participants also reported gains in the physical function, pain and general health aspects of quality life from baseline to post-treatment. No differences in weight, mood or other eating behaviors (e.g., loss of control, emotional eating) were evident between groups. CONCLUSION:Though participation in a postoperative behavioral intervention varied, the program helped participants to maintain aspects of quality of life and self-reported adherence to dietary recommendations. TRIAL REGISTRATION:ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03092479.

More perceived physical fatigability and poor diet quality are associated with impairments in physical function in older adults. However, the degree to which more perceived fatigability explains the association between poor diet quality and low physical function is unknown. We examined this relationship in 122 (66F, 56M) of the oldest-old participants from the Geisinger Rural Aging Study (GRAS). We used 24-h dietary recalls to assess the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), the Pittsburgh Fatigability Scale (PFS, 0–50) to assess perceived physical fatigability, and the PROMIS Physical Function 20a* to assess physical function. We grouped participants into three age categories: 80–84 (n = 51), 85–89 (n = 51), and 90+ (n = 20) years. Multiple linear regression revealed that a lower HEI was associated with higher PFS Physical score after adjusting for age group, sex, body mass index, and the number of medical conditions (p = 0.001). Several macro- and micro-nutrient intakes were also lower in those reporting more (≥15) compared to less (p = 0.001) of the association between HEI total score and PROMIS19 Physical Function score. Poor diet quality may contribute to more perceived physical fatigability, which could exacerbate impairments in the oldest-old’s physical function.

BackgroundObesity and its association with reduced life expectancy are well established, with cardiovascular disease as one of the major causes of fatality. Metabolic surgery is a powerful intervention for severe obesity, resulting in improvement in comorbid diseases and in cardiovascular risk factors. This study investigates the relationship between metabolic surgery and long‐term cardiovascular events. Methods and ResultsA cohort of Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) patients was tightly matched by age, body mass index, sex, Framingham Risk Score, smoking history, use of antihypertension medication, diabetes mellitus status, and calendar year with a concurrent cohort of nonoperated control patients. The primary study end points of major cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, and congestive heart failure) were evaluated using Cox regression. Secondary end points of longitudinal cardiovascular risk factors were evaluated using repeated‐measures regression. The RYGB and matched controls (N=1724 in each cohort) were followed for up to 12 years after surgery (overall median of 6.3 years). Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed a statistically significant reduction in incident major composite cardiovascular events (P=0.017) and congestive heart failure (0.0077) for the RYGB cohort. Adjusted Cox regression models confirmed the reductions in severe composite cardiovascular events in the RYGB cohort (hazard ratio=0.58, 95% CI=0.42–0.82). Improvements of cardiovascular risk factors (eg, 10‐year cardiovascular risk score, total cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein, systolic blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus) were observed within the RYGB cohort after surgery. ConclusionsGastric bypass is associated with a reduced risk of major cardiovascular events and the development of congestive heart failure.

Fibroblast growth factors 19 and 21 (FGF19 and FGF21) have been implicated, independently, in type 2 diabetes (T2D) but it is not known if their circulating levels correlate with each other or whether the associated hepatic signaling mechanisms that play a role in glucose metabolism are dysregulated in diabetes. We used a cross-sectional, case/control, experimental design involving Class III obese patients undergoing Roux-en-Y bariatric surgery (RYGB), and measured FGF19 and FGF21 serum levels and hepatic gene expression (mRNA) in perioperative liver wedge biopsies. We found that T2D patients had lower FGF19 and higher FGF21 serum levels. The latter was corroborated transcriptionally, whereby, FGF21, as well as CYP7A1, β-Klotho, FGFR4, HNF4α, and glycogen synthase, but not of SHP or FXR mRNA levels in liver biopsies were higher in T2D patients that did not remit diabetes after RYGB surgery, compared to T2D patients that remitted diabetes after RYGB surgery or did not have diabetes. In a Phenome-wide association analysis using 205 clinical variables, higher FGF21 serum levels were associated with higher glucose levels and various cardiometabolic disease phenotypes. When serum levels of FGF19 were < 200 mg/mL and FGF21 > 500 mg/mL, 91% of patients had diabetes. These data suggest that FGF19/FGF21 circulating levels and hepatic gene expression of the associated signaling pathway are significantly dysregulated in type 2 diabetes.
