Maternal BMI at the start of pregnancy and offspring epigenome-wide DNA methylation: findings from the pregnancy and childhood epigenetics (PACE) consortium

bioRxiv, 2017
Pre-pregnancy maternal obesity is associated with adverse offspring outcomes at birth and later in life. Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation could contribute, but data are scarce.

Predictive power of different obesity measures for the presence of diastolic dysfunction [PDF]

, 2018
Objective: Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) as measures of obesity have some limitations. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether one measure could predict the presence of diastolic dysfunction (DD) more accurately than the other ...

Developmental associations between victimization and body mass index from 3 to 10 years in a population sample [PDF]

, 2015
In the current prospective study, we investigated (1) whether high and low BMI in early childhood puts a child at risk of victimization by their peers, and (2) whether being victimised increases BMI over the short- and long-term, independent of the ...
