Genetic Susceptibility to Obesity and Related Traits in Childhood and Adolescence Influence of Loci Identified by Genome-Wide
Marcel den Hoed,Ulf Ekelund,Soren Brage,Anders Grøntved,Jing Hua Zhao,Stephen J. Sharp,Ken K. Ong,Nicholas J. Wareham,Ruth J. F. Loos +8 more
TL;DR: This paper examined associations of variants in these loci with anthropometric traits in children and adolescents and found directionally consistent associations with BMI for all 13 variants, of which 9 were significant (0.033-0.098 SD/allele; P 0.5 0.05).

Paternal high-fat diet consumption induces common changes in the transcriptomes of retroperitoneal adipose and pancreatic islet tissues in female rat offspring
Sheau-Fang Ng,Ruby C.Y. Lin,Christopher A. Maloney,Neil A. Youngson,Julie A. Owens,Margaret J. Morris +5 more
TL;DR: Paternal high‐fat diet consumption triggers unique gene signatures, consistent with premature aging and chronic degenerative disorders, in both RpWAT and pancreatic islets of daughters, suggesting early onset developmental changes that persist, shared responses to programmed systemic factors, or crosstalk between tissues.

Are parents of young children practicing healthy nutrition and physical activity behaviors
TL;DR: The findings suggest that pediatricians and health care providers may want to consider discussing dietary intake and physical activity with new parents to identify ways to engage in healthful behaviors given the daily demands of parenthood, both to improve parents' own health and to help them model healthful behavior for their children.

Obesity related eating behaviour patterns in Swedish preschool children and association with age, gender, relative weight and parental weight--factorial validation of the Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire.
TL;DR: The results support the use of the CEBQ as a psychometric instrument for assessing children's eating behaviours in Swedish children aged 1-6 years and reveal a seven factor solution with good psychometric properties, similar to the original structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life Course Perspectives on the Links Between Poverty and Obesity During the Transition to Young Adulthood
TL;DR: A significant effect of poverty/welfare receipt in childhood on obesity outcomes for females, but not for males is found, however, other measures of socioeconomic disadvantage such as neighborhood poverty, and low parental education are related to obesity in both males and females.

Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models
Kung Yee Liang,Scott L. Zeger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data is proposed, which gives consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence.

Increasing Prevalence of Overweight Among US Adults: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, 1960 to 1991
TL;DR: Observed trends in overweight prevalence and body mass index of the US adult population suggest that the Healthy People 2000 objective of reducing the prevalence of overweight US adults to no more than 20% may not be met by the year 2000.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term morbidity and mortality of overweight adolescents. A follow-up of the Harvard Growth Study of 1922 to 1935.
TL;DR: Overweight in adolescence predicted a broad range of adverse health effects that were independent of adult weight after 55 years of follow-up and was a more powerful predictor of these risks than overweight in adulthood.

Body weight and mortality among women
JoAnn E. Manson,Walter C. Willett,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,David J. Hunter,Susan E. Hankinson,Charles H. Hennekens,Frank E. Speizer +7 more
TL;DR: A J-shaped relation between body-mass index and overall mortality is observed and when women who had never smoked were examined separately, no increase in risk was observed among the leaner women, and a more direct relation between weight and mortality emerged.

Do Obese Children Become Obese Adults? A Review of the Literature
TL;DR: Although the correlations between anthropometric measures of obesity in childhood and those in adulthood varied considerably among studies, the associations were consistently positive and the risk of adult obesity was at least twice as high for obese children as for nonobese children.
