Prevalence of a metabolic syndrome phenotype in adolescents: findings from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-1994.
TL;DR: Perhaps 4% of adolescents and nearly 30% of overweight adolescents in the United States meet these criteria for a metabolic syndrome, a constellation of metabolic derangements associated with obesity, which may have significant implications for both public health and clinical interventions directed at this high-risk group of mostly overweight young people.

TL;DR: RSV infection is associated with substantial morbidity in U.S. children in both inpatient and outpatient settings, suggesting that control strategies targeting only high-risk children will have a limited effect on the total disease burden of RSV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive deficits associated with blood lead concentrations <10 microg/dL in US children and adolescents.
TL;DR: Deficits in cognitive and academic skills associated with lead exposure occur at blood lead concentrations lower than 5 microg/dL, and an inverse relationship between blood lead concentration and scores on four measures of cognitive functioning was observed.

Journal ArticleDOI
Exposures to environmental toxicants and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in U.S. children.
TL;DR: Exposure to prenatal tobacco and environmental lead are risk factors for ADHD in U.S. children, and if causally linked, these data suggest that prenatal tobacco exposure accounts for 270,000 excess cases of ADHD, and lead Exposure accounts for 290,000 extra cases of ADD.
