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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Longitudinal study of obesity in the National Survey of Health and Development.
TL;DR: There is no optimal age during childhood for the prediction of overweight in adult life and that excessive weight gain may begin at any time, according to a nationally representative cohort of 5362 children born in one week in March 1946.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of excess weight in children and adults.
Sidney Abraham,Marie Nordsieck +1 more
TL;DR: A prospective study of the relationship of the weight status of individuals in childhood and adult years found that relative success was achieved in overcoming obesity when it was a recent development in the adult years.
Journal Article
The genetic and environmental sources of body mass index variability : the muscatine ponderosity family study
TL;DR: While shared environments contributed to variation in adjusted BMI, more than 75% of the variation was explained by genetic factors that include a single recessive locus, and a mixture of two normal distributions fit the adjusted BMI data better than did a single normal distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of body mass index of 78,612 18-year old Dutch men on 32-year mortality from all causes.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that moderately obese young men have an increased mortality risk is supported, which is mainly caused by an impaired health status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does childhood obesity track into adulthood
TL;DR: The data presented herein indicate that obesity is often acquired during childhood and adolescence when preventive measures could be applied, and the majority of obese children become obese adults.
