Last week, Healio reported live from the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting, the first one to be held in person in 3 years.
During one presentation, researchers reported that excessive use of a mobile device was associated with a higher BMI, sleep issues and depression. Data showed that each hour per day increase in screen time was associated with a 0.05 kg/m2 to 0.07 kg/m2 increase in BMI. It was the top story in endocrinology last week.
Another top story was about a presentation on the association between obesity and reproductive health. Researchers found that women with obesity had fewer ovarian follicles grow to 10 mm and fewer anovulatory follicles achieve dominance compared with women with normal weight.
