Associations of TAS1R2 and TAS2R38 Genetic Variants with Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Intake and Obesity Risk in Kuwaiti Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background/Objectives : Obesity is increasing worldwide, driven by unhealthy dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles. Genetic variations in taste receptor genes, particularly TAS1R2 and TAS2R38 , may influence taste preferences, dietary intake, and obesity risk. This study examined associations between TAS1R2 and TAS2R38 polymorphisms, sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake, and obesity risk in Kuwaiti adolescents. Methods : A cross-sectional stud…
Salivary Biomarkers as Predictors of Obesity and Intermediate Hyperglycemia in Adolescents
Introduction: Childhood obesity presents a major risk for metabolic diseases in adulthood. Noninvasive methods are needed for predicting the course of obesity in children and its complications. Using blood for longitudinal analyses of biomarkers to predict disease in children is not a convenient method. Saliva presents a noninvasive platform to detect inflammatory changes in biomarkers as possible predictive measures of future pathological events…
Association between Frequency of Toothbrushing and Metabolic Syndrome among Adolescents: A 5-Year Follow-Up Study
This study longitudinally examines the relationship between the frequency of toothbrushing and the development of selected components of metabolic syndrome (MetS), along with the potential role of salivary biomarkers in this relationship. In 2014, 6317 12-year-old children underwent health examinations (T1), of which, 348 children participated in the second stage of data collection in 2019 (T2). The association between the change in the metabolic…
Previous Covid-19 Infection and Antibody Levels After Vaccination
Background: The emergence of new COVID-19 variants of concern coupled with a global inequity in vaccine access and distribution has prompted many public health authorities to circumvent the vaccine shortages by altering vaccination protocols and prioritizing persons at high risk. Individuals with previous COVID-19 infection may not have been prioritized due to existing humoral immunity. Objective: We aimed to study the association between previou…
Prevalence of overweight and obesity, and associations with socio-demographic factors in Kuwait
Overweight was greater in men, obesity greater in women. Overweight and obesity prevalence were high in young adults aged 18-29 years, a significant public health concern. Efforts to integrate mandatory physical education to the school curriculum and promoting the creation of recreation spaces/parks to promote physical activities, will play a vital role in the early prevention of overweight/obesity in Kuwait
