Premature Adiposity Rebound in Children Treated for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia* [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2001
The adiposity rebound (AR), when body mass index begins to increase after its nadir in childhood, is a critical period for the regulation of energy balance and adult obesity risk. The aim of the present study was to test whether children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) experience premature AR.

Energy efficiency and the rebound effect [PDF]

, 2009
In recent years the argument that rebound effects, triggered by economy-wide price and income effects, may partially or wholly offset reductions in energy consumption expected from energy efficiency improvements has gained a great deal of attention in ...

Estimation for the Time of Adiposity Rebound in Korean Children and the Effects of Breast Feeding on BMI before Adiposity Rebound

The Korean Journal of Obesity, 2011
연구배경: 조기 지방증 반등은 생애 후기 비만의 위험을 증가시킨다. 한국 아동의 지방증 반등 시기를 추정하고, 모유수유가 지방증 반등시기 이전의 체질량지수에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 보다 어린 시기에 비만을 예방할 수 있 는 조기중재를 위한 기반이 되고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 보건복지부의 2005년 소아·청소년 신체계측 및 혈압측정 조사의 원자료를 이용하였다. 자료분석방법은 지 방증 반등시기 추정 및 모유수유가 체질량지수에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 STATA 11 프로그램을 이용하여 분위회귀분석을 실시하였다.

Issues in Modelling Growth Data Within A Life Course Framework [PDF]

This thesis explores, develops and implements modelling strategies for studying relationships between childhood growth and later health, focusing primarily on the relationship between the development of body mass index (BMI) in childhood and later ...

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

Age at adiposity rebound is associated with fat mass in young adult males-the GOOD study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
ObjectiveAge at adiposity rebound (AR) is associated with obesity and Type 2 Diabetes in adults. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of age at AR in adult fat mass, fat distribution and pubertal timing for a Swedish cohort.Patients ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Association of a body mass index genetic risk score with growth throughout childhood and adolescence.

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundWhile the number of established genetic variants associated with adult body mass index (BMI) is growing, the relationships between these variants and growth during childhood are yet to be fully characterised. We examined the association between
