Journal Article
Goddard, T., Tsintzas, K., Stephan, B. C., Prado, C. M., Mazidi, M., & Siervo, M. (2021). Sarcopenic obesity is associated with telomere shortening: findings from the NHANES 1999–2002. International Journal of Obesity, 46, 437–440. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41366-021-00995-z

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is characterised by the concurrent presence of sarcopenia and excess adiposity. Telomere shortening has been associated with sarcopenia and obesity alone but the association between SO and telomere length (TL) has not been inv...

Intermittent fasting may impart metabolic benefits independent of energy balance by initiating fasting-mediated mechanisms. This randomized controlled trial examined 24-hour fasting with 150% energy intake on alternate days for 3 weeks in lean, healt...
