Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity and blood pressure in childhood: findings from a population-based study
Sam D Leary,Andy R Ness,George Davey Smith,Calum Mattocks,Kevin Deere,Steven N. Blair,Chris Riddoch +6 more
TL;DR: Higher levels of PA were associated with lower BP, and results suggested that the volume of activity may be more important than the intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does breast-feeding in infancy lower blood pressure in childhood? The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).
TL;DR: If the association with blood pressure is causal, the wider promotion of breast-feeding is a potential component of the public health strategy to reduce population levels of blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing causality in the association between child adiposity and physical activity levels: a Mendelian randomization analysis.
Rebecca C Richmond,George Davey Smith,Andy R Ness,Marcel den Hoed,George McMahon,Nicholas J. Timpson +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that increased adiposity causes a reduction in physical activity in children; however, this study does not exclude lower physical activity also leading to increasing adiposity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal macronutrient and energy intakes in pregnancy and offspring intake at 10 y: exploring parental comparisons and prenatal effects
Marie-Jo Brion,Andy R Ness,Imogen Rogers,Pauline M Emmett,Victoria L. Cribb,George Davey Smith,Debbie A Lawlor +6 more
TL;DR: The stronger prenatal maternal associations with child dietary intake, particularly protein and fat, compared with both paternal intake associations and maternal postnatal intake associations provide some evidence for in utero programming of offspring appetite by maternal intake during pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations between objectively measured physical activity and academic attainment in adolescents from a UK cohort
Josie Booth,Sam D Leary,Carol Joinson,Andy R Ness,Phillip D. Tomporowski,James Boyle,John J. Reilly +6 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest a long-term positive impact of MVPA on academic attainment in adolescence, taking into account confounding variables.
