Interactions of genetic and environmental risk factors with respect to body fat mass in children: Results from the ALSPAC study
Christina Riedel,Rüdiger von Kries,Nora Fenske,Konstantin Strauch,Andy R Ness,Andreas Beyerlein +5 more
TL;DR: To evaluate if percentile‐specific effects of genetic, environmental and lifestyle obesity risk factors on body mass index (BMI) might reflect gene‐environment interactions with respect to the development of overweight, a large number of participants were found to be overweight or obese.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiencies co-exist and should be supplemented together and folate levels were lower in older and breastfeeding women, but not associated with parity and were higher among pregnant women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioural early-life exposures and body composition at age 15 years.
TL;DR: This study does not provide compelling evidence for associations between most early-life factors and body composition in adolescence, however, possible associations with dietary patterns and physical inactivity in early childhood require further investigation in other cohorts that have direct measurements of adolescent body composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calum Mattocks,Melissa Hines,Andy R Ness,Sam D Leary,Alex Griffiths,Kate Tilling,Steven N. Blair,Chris Riddoch +7 more

Journal ArticleDOI
