Finding Targets for Obesity Intervention in Urban Communities: School-Based Health Centers and the Interface with Affected Youth
TL;DR: Obese status was associated with gender, poverty, and several medical comorbidities such as asthma, high blood pressure, and disordered eating, which appears to be faced with a greater burden of obesity than predicted by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates.
Growth-and-obesity profiles of children of karachi using box-interpolation method
TL;DR: A model based on the mathematical-statistical technique of ‘box interpolation’, which generates patient- and parent-friendly profiles based on one set of height and weight measurements of parents and children is presented, which introduces quantifiable growth-and-obesity profiles of children in family-centered care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Childhood obesity and associated factors in a rural Greek island.
TL;DR: The evidence suggests that maternal nutritional status and occupation, together with children's dietary habits, are associated with childhood body weight.
Journal ArticleDOI
A health assessment tool for multiple risk factors for obesity: age and sex differences in the prediction of body mass index
Julie A. Chambers,Vivien Swanson +1 more
TL;DR: Amount eaten and physical activity participation were stronger predictors of BMI than other factors including healthy eating and use of mechanised transport, suggesting that different interventions may need to be targeted at different groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motivational interviewing with parents of overweight children: Study design and methods for the NOURISH + MI study
TL;DR: NOURISH+MI is a randomized controlled trial examining the feasibility and efficacy of an adjunct values-based MI intervention implemented within a culturally-tailored parent intervention for overweight children ages 5-11 years, NOURISH(+) (Nourishing The authors' Understanding of Role modeling to Improve Support and Health).

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.
