Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are viewed as a major potential link between the environment and obesity development. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the association between exposure to EDCs and obesity.

Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals and anthropometric measures of obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between human exposure to endocrine disruptors (EDs) and the risk of breast cancer.

Exposure to endocrine disruptors and risk of breast cancer: A systematic review.

The advances in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) care have substantially increased survival, and the late effects of treatment are a growing concern. Obesity development is frequent following ALL therapy and may significantly contribute to long-term morbidity and mortality. We examined the body mass trajectory of 208 children with ALL, from the diagnosis to the completion of therapy. We found that 7.2% of children were overweight or obese at diagnosis, which increased to 19.7% at the end of induction therapy and 20.8% after completion of treatment. In a multivariable linear regression model, age at ALL diagnosis, the type of chemotherapy regimen, and body mass index (BMI) z-score at diagnosis were significant predictors of BMI z-score after induction therapy, whereas BMI z-score at diagnosis was the only significant predictor of BMI z-score at the completion of treatment. In a subgroup of 120 children, we found no association between nutrition status at diagnosis and the risk of ALL relapse or poorer overall survival. Our findings indicate that weight gain occurs early during ALL therapy and is predicted by weight status at diagnosis. Therefore, nutritional status should be assessed throughout treatment, and weight management interventions should be considered early, particularly for patients with higher weight at diagnosis.
