Joan C. Lo,Joan C. Lo,Malini Chandra,Alan R. Sinaiko,Stephen R. Daniels,Ronald J. Prineas,Benjamin Maring,Emily D. Parker,Nancy E. Sherwood,Matthew F. Daley,Elyse O. Kharbanda,Kenneth Adams,David J. Magid,David J. Magid,Patrick J. O'Connor,Louise C. Greenspan +15 more
TL;DR: Increasing gradation of obesity was associated with higher risk for hypertension, with a nearly three-fold increased risk when comparing severe to moderate obesity, underscoring the heightened health risk associated with severe obesity in children and adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of accurate maternal perception of their preschool child's weight status among Hispanic WIC participants.
TL;DR: Maternal BMI and child's birth weight were the only predictors of maternal perception of their child's weight, and both were negatively associated with accuracy, with higher maternal BMI and higher infant birthweight associated with less accurate maternal perceptions of child weight.

Characterizing the EPODE logic model: unravelling the past and informing the future
T.M. van Koperen,Susan A. Jebb,Carolyn Summerbell,Tommy L S Visscher,Tommy L S Visscher,M. Romon,Jean-Michel Borys,Jacob C. Seidell +7 more
TL;DR: The EPODE logic model presented here can be used as a reference for future and follow‐up research; to support future implementation of EPODE in communities; as a tool in the engagement of stakeholders; and to guide the construction of a locally tailored evaluation plan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intergenerational and socioeconomic gradients of child obesity.
Joan Costa-Font,Joan Gil +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence of an emerging social gradient of obesity in pre-school children resulting from a combination of both socio-economic status and less intensive childcare associated with maternal employment is documents, when different forms of intergenerational transmission are controlled for.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trajectories of Overweight Among US School Children: A Focus on Social and Economic Characteristics
TL;DR: While children of immigrants display higher levels of overweight/at risk for overweight at each grade level, the children of immigrant parents who have had less exposure to the US were more likely to experience early and sustained overweight throughout elementary and middle school, particularly among boys.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
