Impaired Health-Related Quality of Life in Preschoolers With Obesity
TL;DR: This study suggests treatment-seeking families perceive worse HRQOL for children with obesity as early as the preschool years, and discussion ofHRQOL may be a more effective strategy for health care professionals in broaching the topic of weight with parents and identifying families who may be more receptive to weight management suggestions for preschoolers.

Is it time for bed? Short sleep duration increases risk of obesity in Mexican American children
Suzanna M. Martinez,Jeanne M. Tschann,Louise C. Greenspan,Julianna Deardorff,Carlos Penilla,Elena Flores,Lauri A. Pasch,Steve Gregorich,Nancy F. Butte +8 more
TL;DR: In Mexican American children, shorter sleep duration at baseline was associated with increased weight status over 24 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors and comorbidities associated with obesity in children and adolescents after the arterial switch operation and Ross procedure
Sara K. Pasquali,Bradley S. Marino,Anita Pudusseri,Gil Wernovsky,Stephen M. Paridon,Susan A. Walker,Meryl S. Cohen +6 more
TL;DR: Obese/overweight was not found to be related to activity restriction or early feeding practices, but was associated with parental obesity, which may pose additional cardiovascular risk in this unique population who underwent coronary artery reimplantation in childhood.
Journal ArticleDOI
The growing role of gene methylation on endocrine function
TL;DR: Given that DNA methylation can be involved in a number of endocrine and metabolic disorders, understanding and manipulating this modification opens a new door for preventing and treating endocrine diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association analyses for dopamine receptor gene polymorphisms and weight status in a longitudinal analysis in obese children before and after lifestyle intervention
TL;DR: It is found that obese carriers of two DRD2 rs1800497 T-alleles may be at risk for weak responses to lifestyle interventions aimed at weight reduction, but association between polymorphisms inDRD2 and DRD4 genes and weight status was not found.

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.
