Summary of the presentations at the conference on preventing childhood Obesity, December 8, 2003
Sally Ann Lederman,Sharon R. Akabas,B. J. Moore,Margaret E. Bentley,Barbara Devaney,Matthew W. Gillman,Michael S. Kramer,Julie A. Mennella,Andy R Ness,Jane Wardle +9 more
TL;DR: Children’s obesity will continue to be a growing problem unless understanding of the key factors likely to be operative during intrauterine life, infancy, and very early childhood is improved, and those in whom intervention would have the greatest effect are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sodium intake in infancy and blood pressure at 7 years: Findings from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children
M. J. Brion,Andy R Ness,G Davey Smith,Pauline M Emmett,Imogen Rogers,Peter H. Whincup,Debbie A Lawlor +6 more
TL;DR: The association between sodium intake at 4 months and future SBP requires replication in studies that can control for effects of potassium before it can be concluded that early infancy is a sensitive period with respect to effects of sodium on future blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiologic and Physiologic Approaches to Understanding the Etiology of Pediatric Obesity: Finding the Needle in the Haystack
TL;DR: The present review highlights the paradox of energy imbalance—its apparent simplicity but actual complexity—and the difficulties in etiologic research that arise from this complexity, and identifies a number of emerging problems for Etiologic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early enteral nutrition within 24 hours of lower gastrointestinal surgery versus later commencement for length of hospital stay and postoperative complications.
Georgia Herbert,Rachel Perry,Henning Andersen,Charlotte Atkinson,Christopher Penfold,Stephen Lewis,Andy R Ness,Steven Thomas +7 more
TL;DR: Whether early commencement of postoperative enteral nutrition (within 24 hours), oral intake and any kind of tube feeding, compared with traditional management (delayed nutritional supply), is associated with a shorter length of hospital stay (LoS), fewer complications, mortality and adverse events in patients undergoing lower gastrointestinal surgery is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are there socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular risk factors in childhood, and are they mediated by adiposity? Findings from a prospective cohort study.
Laura D Howe,Bruna Galobardes,Naveed Sattar,Aroon D. Hingorani,John E. Deanfield,Andy R Ness,George Davey-Smith,Debbie A Lawlor +7 more
TL;DR: Differences between contemporary children and previous generations in the socioeconomic patterning of cardiovascular risk factors suggest future adults may have greater inequalities in diabetes and CHD than current adults.
