Trajectory of body mass index and height changes from childhood to adolescence: a nationwide birth cohort in Japan

Scientific Reports, 2021
To investigate the dynamics of body mass index (BMI) and height changes in childhood leading to obesity in adolescents. BMI Z-scores were calculated using the LMS (lambda–mu–sigma) method based on yearly height and weight information (age 1.5–15 years ...

Longitudinal association between the timing of adiposity peak and rebound and overweight at seven years of age

BMC Pediatrics, 2022
Background The timing of adiposity peak (AP) or adiposity rebound (AR) is a determinant of overweight or obesity in adolescence and adulthood. However, limited studies have reported the association in young school-age children.

Infant feeding practices associated with adiposity peak and rebound in the EDEN mother–child cohort

, 2022
International audienceBackground/ObjectiveHigh magnitude of adiposity peak and early adiposity rebound are early risk markers of later obesity. Infant diet represents one of the main modifiable determinants of early growth.

New insights from GWAS on BMI-related growth traits in a longitudinal cohort of admixed children with Native American and European ancestry

iScience, 2023
Summary: Body-mass index (BMI) is a hallmark of adiposity. In contrast with adulthood, the genetic architecture of BMI during childhood is poorly understood.

Weight Loss During Topiramate Treatment in a Severely Obese Adolescent with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Migraine

JCRPE, 2023
Youth with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency exhibit an increased prevalence of obesity, early adiposity rebound, and increased abdominal adiposity compared to unaffected youth.

Changes in ponderal index and body mass index across childhood and their associations with fat mass and cardiovascular risk factors at age 15 [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Little is known about whether associations between childhood adiposity and later adverse cardiovascular health outcomes are driven by tracking of overweight from childhood to adulthood and/or by vascular and metabolic changes from childhood ...

Multiple measures of adiposity are associated with mean leukocyte telomere length in the northern Finland birth cohort 1966.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Studies of leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and adiposity have produced conflicting results, and the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and telomere length throughout life remains unclear. We therefore tested association of adult LTL measured in 5,

The Sitting-Height Index of Build, (Body Mass)/(Sitting Height)3, as an Improvement on the Body Mass Index for Children, Adolescents and Young Adults

Children, 2018
The body mass index (BMI) is unsatisfactory in being affected by both relative leg length and height, and, for use with children and adolescents, therefore needs to be interpreted in relation to age. The sitting-height index of build (body mass)/(sitting
