Spotlight on the Challenges of Depression following Retirement and Opportunities for Interventions

Older people with excess body weight are not spared from undernutrition. They may face appetite decline which may lead to insufficient nutrient intake. They also have a higher risk of developing chronic diseases which may have a negative impact on protein-anabolic pathways. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of undernutrition in overweight and obese older people from a secondary analysis on data collected through two French surveys among people aged 65 or over (n=782; 31% men; 6...

One of the definitions of pre-diabetes is a high rise in blood sugar after meals, and a recent ...

This study was performed to evaluate the profile of overweight individuals with pre-diabetes enrolled in PREVIEW who were unable to achieve a body weight loss of ≥ 8% of the baseline value in response to a two-month low-energy diet (LED). Their baseline profile reflected potential stress-related vulnerability that predicted a reduced response of body weight to a LED programme. The mean daily energy deficit maintained by unsuccessful weight responders of both sexes was less than the estimated l...

  The steroid 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone, 19-NT), popularized in esterified form as nandrolone decanoate (ND, Deca-durabolin or simply “Deca”), is an injectable synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) used in the strength and fitness community for building muscle. The traditional stack, hailed by “bro science” for over 40 years, combines ND with a testosterone ester such as testosterone cypionate or testosterone enanthate. The objective of the combination is to maximize the ana...

55 which revealed that males have a higher risk of hyperuricemia. The higher likelihood of hyperuricemia in males than females may be due to the action of sex hormones, in that the female sex hormone estrogen helps in the excretion of uric acid and could have the ability to maintain blood uric acid levels. 56,57 Besides, the risk of exposure to environmental and dietary factors that aid the synthesis of purine is higher in males than females, which may also contribute to the production of more ...
