Neck circumference (NC) was recently introduced as a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Adipocytokines may have a key role in the development of CVD. Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between NC and adipocytokines, such as adiponectin and leptin in Portuguese adolescents.

Age-related neurodegenerative disorders, like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, are becoming a major issue to public health care. Currently, there is no effective pharmacological treatment to address cognitive impairment in these patients. Here, we aim to explore the role of exercise-induced trophic factor enhancement in the prevention or delay of cognitive decline in patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
