Nutritional epidemiology has achieved landmark contributions. Yet, the field faces persistent methodological and translational challenges, particularly in dietary assessment, dietary intervention implementation, and causal inference for complex diet-disease relationships.

Reducing evening smartphone use, particularly after 10 pm and immediately before bedtime, may help improve sleep health in adolescents.
Most sleep advice about phones comes as a countdown. No screens for the last hour. Put it down thirty minutes before bed. Almost nobody follows it, and almost everybody breaks it the same way ......

Global, regional, and national trends in type 2 diabetes mellitus burden among adolescents and young adults aged 10–24 years from 1990 to 2021: a trend analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
T2DM incidence in 10–24-year-olds more than doubled from 56 to 124 per 100,000 (1990–2021), AAPC 3.01%. Biggest rises in high-SDI regions and 15–19-year-olds. Targeted youth prevention is urgent. link.springer.com/article/10… #Type2Diabetes #AdolescentHealth

Age-related heterogeneity of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children: a single-center retrospective study
New Chinese study of 401 kids with T1DM shows striking age differences: younger kids have worse islet function (lower C-peptide), older ones face more thyroid antibodies & vitamin D deficiency. Age-specific care is key. link.springer.com/article/10… #T1DM #PediatricDiabetes

Undiagnosed pediatric type 2 diabetes mellitus: the giant hidden iceberg
Pediatric T2DM is the giant hidden iceberg. In China, undiagnosed cases are nearly 10× higher than self-reported. Aggressive complications hit early. link.springer.com/article/10… #PediatricT2DM

Stem-cell therapy is promising for curing T1D, offering potential for β-cell regeneration and reduced dependence on exogenous insulin. However, challenges such as delayed β-cell functionality, immune responses, tumor risks, and high costs hinder widespread application.
Stem-cell therapy is moving T1D toward a real cure—regenerating β-cells instead of lifelong insulin. Promising early results (VX-880, iPSC islets), but safety, cost & pediatric data still lag. link.springer.com/article/10… #StemCellTherapy #Type1Diabetes
