The independent prospective associations of activity intensity and dietary energy density with adiposity in young adolescents

Esther M. F. van Sluijs, +5 more
- 14 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: Activity intensity was not prospectively associated with adiposity, whereas the directions of associations with DED were inconsistent, and future studies should continue to analyse longitudinal data to further understand the independent role of different energy-balance behaviours in changes in adiposity in early adolescence.

Dietary Fat Intake Predicts 1-Year Change in Body Fat in Adolescent Girls With Type 1 Diabetes

Stefan Särnblad, +2 more
- 01 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined whether objectively measured physical activity and dietary macronutrient intake differentially predict body fat in adolescent girls with Type 1 diabetes and control girls, and found that fat intake was positively related to a 1-year change in percentage body fat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are Birth Weight, Early Growth, and Motor Development Determinants of Physical Activity in Children and Youth? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Guro Pauck Øglund, +2 more
- 01 Nov 2015 - 
TL;DR: The meta-analysis suggests that birth weight is not an important determinant of physical activity in youth and available data does not allow firm conclusions whether early growth and motor development act as determinants of physicalActivity in youth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical Activity and Mammographic Breast Density in the EPIC-Norfolk Cohort Study

Tricia M. Peters, +8 more
- 12 Dec 2007 - 
TL;DR: No statistically significant association between physical activity and percentage breast density was observed in the unadjusted or adjusted regression models, which suggests that an association betweenphysical activity and breast cancer risk is unlikely to be mediated through an effect on mammographic breast density.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of Intrauterine and Postnatal Weight and Length Gains With Adolescent Body Composition: Prospective Birth Cohort Study From Brazil

Jonathan C. K. Wells, +6 more
- 01 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: Fast infant weight and length gains were primarily associated with larger size in adolescence rather than increased adiposity, and early weight gain was more important than length gain at influencing body composition outcomes in adolescence.
