Article Abstract
Objectives: to evaluate the effectiveness of cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) in reducing anthropometric measurements in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted with 140 participants, divided into an experimental group (n = 71) and a control group (n = 69). The experimental group consumed 3 g/day of encapsulated cinnamon for 90 days. Anthropometric variables were measured at baseline and at the end of the study, with intra-group comparisons performed using a paired t-test.
Results: the majority of participants were women (69.2%) with a mean age of 61 years. Reductions were observed in weight (-0.8 kg, p =0.11), body mass index (-0.36 kg/m2, p =0.16), body adiposity index (-1.02%, p =0.38), waist circumference (-3.97 cm, p =0.67), neck circumference (-0.45 cm, p = 0.68), and hip circumference (-1.83 cm, p =0.49), none of which were statistically significant (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: cinnamon supplementation resulted in reductions in anthropometric measurements compared to placebo, but these differences were not statistically significant.

Department of Social and Health Sciences in Sport, Bayreuth Center of Sport Science, University of Bayreuth, Bayreuth, Germany.
Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) and the absence of physical activity (PA) have become increasingly prevalent in modern societies due to changes in physical and social-environmental conditions, particularly in university students. This cross-sectional study aimed to describe and identify the prevalence and correlates of self-reported and accelerometer-determined SB and PA of German university students.
Methods: A convenience sample of 532 students participated in a questionnaire survey during the lecture period in the summer term 2018.

Background: The appearance of pubic or axillary hair before the age of eight in girls or nine in boys, without other signs of puberty, is defined as premature adrenarche (PA) and may be an early sign of the metabolic syndrome. The second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D), thought to reflect prenatal androgen exposure, has been associated with a variety of behavioral, metabolic, and hormonal conditions.
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between 2D:4D digit ratios and anthropometric, metabolic, and hormonal parameters in children with PA.

Despite economic growth and poverty reduction, child undernutrition is still widespread in Bangladesh. This study aimed to evaluate both the burden and correlates of undernutrition among children under five in Bangladesh using the Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (CIAF). Data were obtained from the 2019 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), comprising a weighted sample of 21,885 children collected through a nationally representative cross-sectional survey between January and June 2019.

Background: Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of tooth-supporting tissues, shows significant associations with systemic conditions like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. These metabolic disorders share chronic inflammatory pathways that may influence periodontal disease severity. This study investigated these relationships using advanced quantifiable metrics - periodontal epithelial surface area (PESA) and periodontal inflammatory surface area (PISA).

Background: Children hospitalized for surgery face malnutrition risks. This study assessed nutritional risk and status in hospitalized neonatal surgical patients using a modified Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Pediatrics (STAMP) combined with anthropometry.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of neonatal surgical patients from December 2020 to October 2024 was conducted at a children's hospital, utilizing the modified STAMP and anthropometric measurements.
