Journal ArticleDOI
Overweight and obesity in twenty-year-old Swedes in relation to birthweight and weight development during childhood.
Christina Fåhraeus,Lill-Kari Wendt,Mats Nilsson,Helén Isaksson,Anita Alm,Boel Andersson-Gäre +5 more
TL;DR: The frequency of overweight and obesity from birth to 20 years of age is described and weight at 20 years old is analyzed in relation to weight and weight development during early childhood and adolescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathway Analysis of Metabolic Syndrome Using a Genome-Wide Association Study of Korea Associated Resource (KARE) Cohorts.
TL;DR: Through pathway analysis of MetS, pathways related with PDGF, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and PPAR signaling, as well as nucleic acid binding, protein secretion, and DNA repair, were identified and will be needed to clarify the genetic pathogenesis leading to MetS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the correlation between ages at entry into breast and pubic hair development.
Krista Y. Christensen,Mildred Maisonet,Mildred Maisonet,Carol Rubin,W. Dana Flanders,W. Dana Flanders,Carolyn Drews-Botsch,Celia E. Dominguez,Michael A. McGeehin,Michele Marcus,Michele Marcus +10 more
TL;DR: The timing of breast and of pubic hair development is moderately correlated and remain so when it is stratified by characteristics associated with puberty, although some heterogeneity was observed by maternal and child body mass index and birth order.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship of cardiorespiratory fitness, birth weight and parental BMI on adolescents obesity status
TL;DR: Results from this study highlight the association between the family adolescents’ obesity, in girls and suggested that low CRF and high BW were strong predictors of OV/OB in adolescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal changes in adiposity during adolescence: a population-based cohort
TL;DR: In adolescents, ageing resulted in a decrease in BMI z-scores and BF%.

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.
