Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment and prevention of obesity—are there critical periods for intervention?

TL;DR: There is a need to develop findings from epidemiological research into coherent decisions regarding prevention and treatment interventions and ultimately appropriate polices for the improvement of public health, and a themed issue on obesity in the International Journal of Epidemiology would contribute towards this aim.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal adiposity—a determinant of perinatal and offspring outcomes?

TL;DR: Human studies provide evidence that maternal overweight and obesity is causally related to pregnancy complications, increased offspring weight and adiposity at birth, and the difficulties associated with delivery of large-for-gestational-age infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration: analysis of individual data on lipid, inflammatory and other markers in over 1.1 million participants in 104 prospective studies of cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: This initiative will characterize more precisely and in greater detail the shape and strength of the age- and sex-specific associations of several lipid and inflammatory markers with incident coronary heart disease outcomes (and, secondarily, with other incident cardiovascular outcomes) under a wide range of circumstances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early life determinants of adult blood pressure.

TL;DR: There is a need for randomized trials with sufficient resources for long-term follow-up to assess the effects that interventions such as preventing pregnancy-induced hypertension, reducing maternal smoking, increasing breast-feeding, reducing salt consumption in infancy and preventing childhood obesity have on adult blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.
