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.

TL;DR: The relationship (partial correlation) between Quetelet index and plasma lipoproteins was highly significant after adjusting for age, race, sex, skinfold thickness, cigarette smoking, alcohol intake, and oral contraceptive intake.

The Human Obesity Gene Map: The 1996 Update
TL;DR: Evidence from Mendelian disorders exhibiting obesity as a clinical feature, single-gene mutation rodent models, quantitative trait loci uncovered in crossbreeding experiments with mouse, rat, and pig models, association and case-control studies with candidate genes, and linkage studies with genes and other markers is reviewed.

Defining obesity in children and adolescents: Clinical approaches
TL;DR: Recommendations for weight control therapy should be focused primarily on those children and adolescents who currently manifest adiposity-related morbidity, those with a BMI above the 95th percentile, or those above the 85th percentile who perceive their adiposity to be a significant psychosocial problem.
