OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to determine the frequency and factors associated with obesity in a cohort of children and adolescents with newly diagnosed untreated epilepsy.
METHODS
Body mass index (BMI) Z-scores and percentiles, both adjusted for age, were used as measures for obesity. Potential
We recently reported the frequent occurrence of polycystic ovaries and hyperandrogenism in women taking valproate for epilepsy, especially when the medication was started before the age of 20 years. In the present study we evaluated the association of obesity and hyperinsulinemia with
Childhood obesity has been associated with greater risks of psychopathology, including externalizing behaviors and social dysfunction. However, there has been limited research on the effect of obesity on psychosocial functioning among pediatric patients with epilepsy. Accordingly, this study aimed
This paper reviews the clinical implications of topiramate (TPM)-induced cognitive deficits in patients with epilepsy, migraine headache, obesity, and in normal populations, followed by reviews of the literature describing the reversal of such deficits upon medication discontinuation. It also
We conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate the association between prepregnancy obesity in women and risk of cerebral palsy and epilepsy in their children using data from the South Carolina Medicaid program. The cohort included 83,901 maternal-child pairs; 100 cases of cerebral palsy
Aim. Previous studies support the concept that obesity is a common comorbid condition in patients with epilepsy (PWE). In this study, we present the body mass index (BMI) and data from a survey to assess physical activity in a sample of PWE from an epilepsy clinic. Methods. Between June of 2011 and
To investigate whether prepregnancy overweight in women with epilepsy increases their risk for complications during pregnancy and delivery.
This study is based on The Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) linked to the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. A diagnosis of epilepsy was reported
Sixty-eight percent of the US adult population is overweight, and 35% is obese. The rate of obesity in patients with epilepsy is unknown. Its determination was the goal of the present study. Weight and height were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated in all newly evaluated patients
Chronically epileptic male adult rats in the pilocarpine model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), exhibited gross expansion of abdominal fat mass and significant weight gain several months after induction of status epilepticus (SE) when compared to control rats. We hypothesized that epileptogenesis
Background: Association of obesity, quality of life (QoL), and physical fitness in people with epilepsy (PWE) is rarely reported. We evaluate the effect of a 12-week home-based exercise program on weight reduction and physical capacity in PWE.
There has been little research conducted into aggression in persons with epilepsy (PWE). We determine whether sleep disturbances and obesity are associated with aggression in PWE independent of psychological distress.This was a cross-sectional study. The
Because iatrogenic obesity may hinder medication compliance, it would be a reasonable approach to consider antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) that promote weight loss in overweight patients. We performed an open-label, observational study to assess the effects of zonisamide on weight in overweight female
BACKGROUND
Weight gain is a common adverse effect of sodium valproic acid (VPA) in children with epilepsy. Several mechanisms of VPA-induced obesity have been suggested such as increased appetite, facultative thermogenesis, and elevated insulin and leptin levels. In this study, we aimed to
BACKGROUND
Valproic acid (VPA) is a useful antiepileptic drug for controlling different types of epilepsy. It has several side effects and is associated to increased body weight, as well as metabolic and endocrine disorders, including metabolic syndrome.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of
The aim of the study was to investigate the risk of subclinical atherosclerosis independent from obesity and high blood lipid levels in pediatric patients with idiopathic epilepsy receiving valproic acid or levetiracetam monotherapy by evaluating carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT)
