Journal ArticleDOI
Small for gestational age and higher birth weight predict childhood obesity in preterm infants.
Ronnesia B. Gaskins,Linda L. LaGasse,Jing Liu,Seetha Shankaran,Barry M. Lester,Henrietta S. Bada,Charles R. Bauer,Abhik Das,Rosemary D. Higgins,Mary B. Roberts +9 more
TL;DR: Multiple growth-related processes may be involved in obesity risk for preterm children, including fetal programming as indicated by the SGA effect, and there was no effect of substance exposure on obesity outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional strategy for adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery: report of a working group of the Nutrition Committee of NASPGHAN/NACHRI.
Michell A. Fullmer,Stephanie H. Abrams,Kathleen B. Hrovat,Lori Mooney,Ann O. Scheimann,Jennifer B. Hillman,David L. Suskind +6 more
TL;DR: These guidelines address the preoperative educational pathway, the postoperative diet progression, recognition of disordered eating, guidelines for female reproductive issues, and assistance for the adolescent in a school/college environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Young children's weight trajectories and associated risk factors: results from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort.
Brian G. Moss,William H. Yeaton +1 more
TL;DR: Between age 9 months and age 2 years, U.S. children consistently moved toward less desirable weight status, suggesting that health policy might focus on those children at greatest risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examining the impact of 45 minutes of daily physical education on cognitive ability, fitness performance, and body composition of African American youth.
TL;DR: Providing 45 minutes of daily physical education can perhaps increase cognitive ability while increasing fitness and decreasing the prevalence of overweight and obese youth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of electronic time monitors on children's television watching: pilot trial of a home-based intervention.
Cliona Ni Mhurchu,Vaughan Roberts,Ralph Maddison,Enid Dorey,Yannan Jiang,Andrew Jull,Sandar Tin Tin +6 more
TL;DR: Electronic TV time monitors are feasible to use for home-based TV watching interventions although acceptability varies between families, and preliminary findings from this pilot suggest that such devices have potential to decrease children's TV watching.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
