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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Journal ArticleDOI
Ten-year follow-up of behavioral, family-based treatment for obese children.
TL;DR: Children in the child and parent group showed significantly greater decreases in percent overweight after 5 and 10 years than children in the nonspecific control group, and child height was related strongly to the height of the parent of the same sex.

Adiposity indices in children.
Marie-Françoise Rolland-Cachera,M Sempé,M Guilloud-Bataille,E Patois,F Péquignot-Guggenbuhl,V Fautrad +5 more
TL;DR: This work provides charts, based on the Quetelet index and on age, permitting estimation of adiposity in any child on the basis of longitudinal study measurements, and gives standard values for studying groups of subjects, even when a reference population is not available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grading body fatness from limited anthropometric data
TL;DR: Data from 405 white children and adults aged 6 to 49 yr were used to calculate the correlations between selected anthropometric measurements and estimates of percentage body fat and total body fat, leading to conclusions that the triceps skinfold is the best single indicator of percentageBody fat in children and women; weight/stature is thebest single indicator in girls and adults.

Tracking the development of adiposity from one month of age to adulthood
Marie-Françoise Rolland-Cachera,Michèle Deheeger,Michel Guilloud-Bataille,Patrick Avons,Elisabeth Patois,Michel Sempé +5 more
TL;DR: Age at rebound provided two indications: the existence of a regulartory process among the transiently fat or lean infants who returned to average after a late or early rebound respectively, and pathological development among the children who became fat orLean after an early or late rebound.

Relationship of childhood weight status to morbidity in adults.
TL;DR: A cohort of white males who had attended elementary schools in Hagerstown, Md., between 1923 and 1928, and whose height-weight records for those years were available, was examined during 1961-63, and their childhood relative weight at ages 9-13 and 35-40 years later, made in relation to selected physiological variables and diagnosed morbidity.
