Child Care Subsidies and Childhood Obesity
Chris M. Herbst,Erdal Tekin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of child care subsidy receipt on low-income children's weight outcomes in the fall and spring of kindergarten using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Cohort was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal Obesity and the Fetal Origins of the Metabolic Syndrome
TL;DR: Animal models are providing essential information into the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to this adverse phenotype and will aid the understanding of the programming signals related to maternal and paternal over-nutrition and the improved healthcare for both mother and infant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic insights into early-onset obesity
Hélène Choquet,David Meyre +1 more
TL;DR: New genomic discoveries complement previous knowledge on the development of early-onset obesity and provide new perspectives for research on the complex molecular and physiological mechanisms involved in this disease.

Adiponectin and leptin trajectories in Mexican-American children from birth to 9 years of age.
Vitaly Volberg,Brianna C. Heggeseth,Kim G. Harley,Karen Huen,Paul Yousefi,Veronica Davé,Kristin Tyler,Michelle Vedar,Brenda Eskenazi,Nina Holland +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined patterns of critical metabolism-related hormones, adiponectin and leptin (adipokines), over childhood using a mixture modeling approach to identify patterns in adipokine trajectories from birth to 9 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guided goal setting: Effectiveness in a dietary and physical activity intervention with low-income adolescents
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of the guided goal setting strategy on changing adolescents' dietary and physical activity self-efficacy and behaviors, and provided some evidence that the use of guided goal-setting with adolescents may be a viable strategy to promote dietary and physically activity behavior change.

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.
