Journal ArticleDOI
Body mass index during childhood, adolescence and young adulthood in relation to adult overweight and adiposity: the Fels Longitudinal Study.
S. S. Guo,C Huang,L. M. Maynard,Ellen W. Demerath,Bradford Towne,Wm. Cameron Chumlea,Roger M. Siervogel +6 more
TL;DR: Changes in childhood BMI were related to adult overweight and adiposity more so in females than males, however BMI patterns during and post-adolescence were more important than the BMI rebound for adulthood TBF and %BF status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Puberty and body composition.
Roger M. Siervogel,Ellen W. Demerath,Christine M. Schubert,Karen E. Remsberg,William Cameron Chumlea,Shumei Sun,Stefan A. Czerwinski,Bradford Towne +7 more
TL;DR: Pubertal body composition is important, not only for the assessment of contemporaneous nutritional status, but also for being linked directly to the possible onset of chronic disease later in life and is, therefore, useful for disease risk assessment and intervention early in life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do changes in body mass index percentile reflect changes in body composition in children? Data from the Fels Longitudinal Study.
Ellen W. Demerath,Christine M. Schubert,L. Michele Maynard,Shumei S. Sun,W. Cameron Chumlea,Arthur A Pickoff,Stefan A. Czerwinski,Bradford Towne,Roger M. Siervogel +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that BMI percentile changes may not accurately reflect changes in adiposity in children over time, particularly among male adolescents and children of lower BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI
New loci for body fat percentage reveal link between adiposity and cardiometabolic disease risk

TL;DR: The loci more strongly associated with BF% showed distinct cross-phenotype association signatures with a range of cardiometabolic traits revealing new insights in the link between adiposity and disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development of sex differences in digital formula from infancy in the Fels Longitudinal Study.
TL;DR: This is the first study using long-term serial data to evaluate the validity of finger length ratios as markers and finds that sex differences in the fingers of children are highly correlated with adult finger length ratio.
