Television viewing is not predictive of BMI in Black and Hispanic young adult females.
Tracy K. Richmond,Courtney E. Walls,Holly C. Gooding,Alison E. Field,Alison E. Field,Alison E. Field +5 more
TL;DR: Among black and Hispanic females, counseling to decrease TV viewing may be important but insufficient for promoting weight loss, and in models stratified by race/ethnicity, increased TV viewing was associated with increased BMI only among white females.
Journal Article
Prevalence of Overweight and Besity Among School Children in Suburb Thailand Defined by the International Obesity Task Force standard
TL;DR: The prevalence of overweight and obesity has been dramatically increasing among Thai children and further longterm follow-up studies are required to determine the growth pattern of children with higher BMI for age and to survey for obesity-related co-morbid condition in Thai children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Childhood obesity: evidence of an association between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 levels and visceral adiposity.
Rafael Machado Mantovani,Danyelle Romana Alves Rios,Letícia C.R. Moura,Juliana M. Oliveira,Flavia F. Carvalho,Sarah B. Cunha,Maria de Fátima S. Viana,Joel A. Lamounier,Juni C. Castro,Luci Maria Sant'Ana Dusse,Ana Cristina Simões e Silva +10 more
TL;DR: In pediatric obesity, fat mass accumulation, mainly of visceral fat, and puberty progression were related to high PAI-1 levels, which might in turn contribute to cardiovascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Programming Physical Activity in Young Infants At-Risk for Early Onset of Obesity
Dale A. Ulrich,Janet L. Hauck +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that a very sensitive period for early onset of obesity is the first six months of postnatal life, and physical activity interventions used with infants with a disability who are at risk for obesity are reviewed.

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.
