“If It Tastes Good, I'm Drinking It”: Qualitative Study of Beverage Consumption Among College Students
TL;DR: Among college students, taste and price were the most important factors in choosing beverages, and interventions using shocking visual images or providing low-cost or free water may conquer taste and brand preference to reduce sugar-sweetened beverage intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity-programmed mice are rescued by early genetic intervention.
Viviana Florencia Bumaschny,Miho Yamashita,Rodrigo Casas-Cordero,Veronica Otero-Corchon,Flavio S. J. de Souza,Marcelo Rubinstein,Malcolm J. Low +6 more
TL;DR: A novel reversible monogenic obesity model generated by selectively blocking the expression of the proopiomelanocortin gene (Pomc) in hypothalamic neurons reveals the critical importance of early intervention for the prevention of subsequent allostatic overload that auto-perpetuates obesity.

Prevalence of hypertension in overweight and obese children from a large school-based population in Shanghai, China
TL;DR: In this study on a large school-based population in Shanghai, China, BMI and WC are positively correlated with SBP and DBP, in which WC is considered as a more sensitive indicator than BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of overweight and obesity on longitudinal trends in maternal serum leptin levels during pregnancy.
Vinod K. Misra,Sheri Trudeau +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that factors other than fat mass alone influence leptin concentrations in overweight/obese women compared to normal‐weight women during pregnancy, and may contribute to differences in the intrauterine environment and its influence on pregnancy outcomes in the two groups.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
