Chronic high-fat diet in fathers programs β-cell dysfunction in female rat offspring
TL;DR: It is shown that paternal high-fat-diet (HFD) exposure programs β-cell ‘dysfunction’ in rat F1 female offspring induces increased body weight, adiposity, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, and the first report in mammals of non-genetic, intergenerational transmission of metabolic sequelae of a HFD from father to offspring.

Genetics of Food Intake Self-Regulation in Childhood: Literature Review and Research Opportunities
TL;DR: Evidence from pediatric samples around the world indicates that these traits are associated with body mass index, are heritable, and are linked to polymorphisms in the FTO gene, also discussing their relevance to practical issues of parental feeding styles, portion sizes, and health literacy and numeracy.

Dynamics of Obesity and Chronic Health Conditions Among Children and Youth
TL;DR: Prevalence of chronic conditions among children and youth increased from 1988 to 2006, however, presence of these conditions was dynamic over each 6-year cohort, and there were higher rates among male (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.24; 95% CI, 1.07-1.42), Hispanic (AOR, 1

TL;DR: In this paper, an update of the 2003 American Heart Association Scientific Statement on Obesity, Insulin Resistance, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Risk in Children from the Atherosclerosis, Hypertension, and Obesity in the Young Committee (Council on Cardiovascular Disease in the young) and the Diabetes Committee (council on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism).
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of school-based physical activity interventions on body mass index in children: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: Current population-based policies that mandate increased physical activity in schools are unlikely to have a significant effect on the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Anthropometric Standards for the Assessment of Growth and Nutritional Status
TL;DR: This work compiles the largest database of material on anthropometric standards from National Health Examination surveys and states that it is likely that standards will change in the future.

Overweight Prevalence and Trends for Children and Adolescents: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, 1963 to 1991
Richard P. Troiano,Katherine M. Flegal,Robert J. Kuczmarski,Stephen Campbell,Clifford L. Johnson +4 more
TL;DR: Increasing overweight among youths implies a need to focus on primary prevention, and attempts to increase physical activity may provide a means to address this important public health problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
The body-mass index of twins who have been reared apart.
TL;DR: It is concluded that genetic influences on body-mass index are substantial, whereas the childhood environment has little or no influence.

Medical Hazards of Obesity
TL;DR: Obesity is an independent risk factor for death from coronary heart disease and some forms of cancer as well as sleep apnea, chronic hypoxia and hypercapnia, and degenerative joint disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The predictive value of childhood body mass index values for overweight at age 35 y.
TL;DR: It is indicated that overweight at 35 y can be predicted from BMI at younger ages, and the prediction is excellent at age 18 y, good at 13 y, but only moderate at ages younger than 13 y.
