Adiposity rebound in very-low-birth-weight infants [PDF]

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021
Abstract Objectives Adiposity rebound (AR) refers to an increase in body mass index (BMI) after a nadir. Early AR, in which AR occurs earlier than five years old, is a risk factor for future obesity and metabolic syndrome, but has not been widely studied in very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs).

The role of neuromedin U in adiposity regulation. Haplotype analysis in European children from the IDEFICS Cohort [PDF]

, 2017
Background and aims: Neuromedin U (NMU) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide with important roles in several metabolic processes, recently suggested as potential therapeutic target for obesity.

Weight, height and body mass index nomograms; early adiposity rebound in a sample of children in Tehran, Iran

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2013
Background: Assessing growth is a useful tool for defining health and nutritional status of children. The objective of this study was to construct growth reference curves of Iranian infants and children (0-6 years old) and compare them with previous and ...

Factors affecting the timing of adiposity rebound [PDF]

Int J Pediatr Endocrinol, 2013
Background The age of adiposity rebound (AR), when body mass index (BMI) starts to rise after infancy, is thought to be an origin of obesity in later life. We have already reported that children who exhibited an earlier AR were associated with the higher BMI value and atherogenic metabolic status at 12 years of age.

Adiposity rebound is misclassified by BMI rebound [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2013
Adiposity rebound (AR) is defined as the nadir or the inflexion point of body mass index (BMI) percentiles between the age of 3 and 7 years. An early rebound is seen as a risk of obesity and, thus, AR is considered as a suitable time period for prevention. As BMI does not reflect body composition, we aimed to examine the rebounds of fat mass index (FMI)

Tracking of body adiposity indicators from childhood to adolescence: Mediation by BMI. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Our aim was to verify the tracking of body adiposity indicators from childhood to adolescence and analyze the mediation effects of BMI on the stability of body adiposity. Our sample was composed by 375 children (197 boys).

Pre-Birth and Early-Life Factors Associated With the Timing of Adiposity Peak and Rebound: A Large Population-Based Longitudinal Study

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Background: The late occurrence of adiposity peak (AP) and the early occurrence of adiposity rebound (AR) are considered the earliest indicators for obesity and its related health conditions later in life.

Adiposity rebound and body mass index in Japanese patients with congenital hypothyroidism. [PDF]

Clin Pediatr Endocrinol
The long-term prognosis of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) has become apparent since the introduction of newborn screening programs; however, the risk of obesity in patients with CH remains unclear. Early adiposity rebound (AR) is one of the predictors of obesity in adults.

Investigation of umbilical cord serum miRNAs associated with childhood obesity: A pilot study from a birth cohort study

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2022
We investigated umbilical cord serum microRNA (miRNA) profiles to identify biomarkers of a risk for obesity later in life. Participating children were divided into high‐ and low‐risk groups of obesity based on the timing of adiposity rebound and the body
