Resistance exercises with aerobic training and high-intensity interval training reduced insulin resistance markers in 5–18 years old children with excess weight if done at least two to three times/week. Low to moderate certainty of evidence in this meta-analysis
The prevalence of childhood excess weight continues to grow, adding to risk of metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes.

Implications for nursing education Healthcare professionals reported improved awareness and understanding of trauma-informed care (TIC) and self-efficacy in applying it in practice. Nurse educators should continue to develop robust evaluation of TIC educational interventions.
Psychological trauma is a major public health concern, with high rates of exposure among the population. Within paediatric healthcare settings, exposure can be substantial.

Implications for practice and research Organisational structures and systems of support such as clinical supervision can support resilience in mental health nursing staff who work in high-secure forensic settings. Future studies in different high-secure forensic settings and different countries are required to enhance the generalisability of the findings.
High-secure mental health hospitals, also known as high-secure forensic hospitals, are a specialism within mental healthcare.
Commentary on: Yoshimoto, H., Kawaida, K., Dobashi, S. et al. Effect of provision of non-alcoholic beverages on alcohol consumption: a randomized controlled study. BMC Med 2023; 21, 379. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-023-03085-1
Implications for practice and research There is scope for public health to consider non-alcoholic beverages as a potential strategy to reduce alcohol consumption in adults who drink excessively. Future research should explore whether non-alcoholic beverages can reduce alcohol consumption in a wider range of countries and in different population groups, such as individuals with a diagnosis of alcohol dependence.
Alcohol is a risk factor in over 200 health conditions, and 2016 data shows it accounts for 5.3% of overall deaths worldwide.
