Brian G. Moss,William H. Yeaton +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, both favorable and unfavorable early weight statuses were highly associated with subsequent status at preschool and children who were obese at an early age were more likely to have an at-risk or obese weight category at a later age.

TL;DR: To examine the temporal and dose‐related effects of glucocorticoids (GCs) on body mass index (BMI) in children with rheumatic diseases, a large number of GCs were randomly assigned to either the temporal or dose-related effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and epigenetic catalysts in early-life programming of adult cardiometabolic disorders
TL;DR: An overview of developmental processes and plausible risk factors influencing pregnancy outcomes and later health is provided and additional information is needed to substantiate public health guidelines on lifestyle behaviors during pregnancy to improve infant health outcomes.

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.

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.
