Maternal Pre-Pregnancy BMI, Breastfeeding, and Child BMI

Pediatrics, 2023
OBJECTIVES Breastfeeding practices may protect against offspring obesity, but this relationship is understudied among women with obesity. We describe the associations between breastfeeding practices and child BMI for age z-score (BMIz), stratified by maternal BMI.

BMI Trajectories Associated With Resolution of Elevated Youth BMI and Incident Adult Obesity [PDF]

Pediatrics, 2018
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Youth with high BMI who become nonobese adults have the same cardiovascular risk factor burden as those who were never obese. However, the early-life BMI trajectories for overweight or obese youth who avoid becoming obese adults have not been described.

BMI and hyperinsulinemia in children

Clinical Biochemistry, 2009
Overweight is associated with hyperinsulinemia in adults and children. The aim of our study was to test if body mass index (BMI) alone or in combination with waist circumference (WC) predicts hyperinsulinemia in individual children.In 466 healthy German schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 years enrolled in the population based PEP Family Heart Study ...

Transfer of information by BMI

Neuroscience, 2013
Brain machine interfaces (BMI) have become important in systems neuroscience with the goal to restore motor function in paralyzed patients. We assess the current ability of BMI devices to move objects. The topics discussed include: (1) the bits of information generated by a BMI signal, (2) the limitations of including more neurons for generating a BMI ...

BMI normogram

Clinical Nutrition, 2008
I have devised a nomogram [corrected] that allows easy determination of a person's body mass index (BMI), i.e., by simply drawing a single line on the graph to connect the height and weight. Conversely, the body weight corresponding to an arbitrary BMI may be determined similarly. This nomogram [corrected] is a useful and convenient tool in that it can

BMI and Obesity

2014
The increasing incidence of obesity worldwide combined with the parallel trend of declining sperm quality has given rise to the notion that obesity and infertility are linked. While investigations of sperm quality in obese individuals have yielded inconclusive results, studies of the adverse hormonal, physical, and proteomic changes induced by obesity ...

Religion and BMI in Australia

Journal of Religion and Health, 2012
We estimated the relationship between religion and body mass index (BMI) for a general and representative sample of the Australia population. Data from the Household Income Labour Dynamics survey were analysed for 9,408 adults aged 18 and older. OLS regression analyses revealed that religious denomination was significantly related to higher BMI, after ...

Is the BMI a Relic of the Past? [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
The most widely used measure of adiposity is to express weight adjusted for height using the body mass index (BMI). However, its limitations such as its inability to distinguish muscle weight from fat weight are well known, leading public health authorities in the UK and US to recommend measuring waist circumference as a complementary diagnostic tool ...
