Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity in Pediatric Orthopaedics
TL;DR: The orthopaedic conditions commonly encountered in overweight/obese children and adolescents, classically infantile and adolescent tibia vara and slipped capital femoral epiphysis are discussed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between intima media thickness, central obesity and diastolic blood pressure in obese and owerweight children: A cross-sectional school-based study
TL;DR: There is a relationship between atherosclerosis, and central obesity, diastolic BP, and chronic inflammation in overweight and obese schoolchildren in Eastern Turkey and waist circumference measurement is more sensitive than other anthropometric measurements in predicting obesity and associated complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parental perception of child's weight status and subsequent BMIz change: The KOALA birth cohort study
Sanne M. P. L. Gerards,Jessica S. Gubbels,Pieter C. Dagnelie,Stef P. J. Kremers,Annette Stafleu,Nanne K. de Vries,Carel Thijs +6 more
TL;DR: Children of parents who accurately perceived their child’s weight status had a higher BMI over time, probably making it easier for parents to correctly perceive their child's overweight.
Book ChapterDOI
New frontiers in animal research of psychiatric illness.
Arie Kaffman,John H. Krystal +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that animal models are essential to elucidate the mechanisms by which neurodevelopmental changes program complex behavior in adulthood, and is argued that a major difficulty in establishing valid animal models lies in their reliance on the DSM/International Classification of Diseases conceptual framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic susceptibility to obesity and metabolic syndrome in childhood
TL;DR: The genes and their variants that have been evidenced to play a role in obesity-associated metabolic complications through genetic association studies are reviewed, including candidate gene and genome-wide association approaches in adults and children.

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.
