Body weight change and fertility of dairy cows

New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1972
Abstract Extract McClure (1961, 1965 a, b), McTaggart (1961), King (1968) and McClure and McDowell (1969) have suggested that there is correlation between dairy cattle fertility and weight change in the period before mating. Gardner (1969) did not support this suggestion. An analysis of records from a research farm was undertaken to test the suggestion.

Gene-Diet Interactions on Body Weight Changes

Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 2005
Obesity is one of the most pressing problems in the industrialized world. The susceptibility to obesity is partly determined by genetic factors, but an "obesity-promoting environment" is typically necessary for its phenotypic expression. Such a genetically mediated susceptibility to environmental exposure is referred to as gene-environment interaction.

Clinical correlates of body weight changes in schizophrenia

The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1994
Body weight was examined in chronic schizophrenic patients. Underweight medicated patients had normal ventricular brain ratios (VBRs) on CT. Overweight patients had both normal and abnormal VBRs. Weight decreased during neuroleptic withdrawal; caloric intake and weight increased when neuroleptics were reinstituted.

A longitudinal study of body weight and body fat changes in Antarctica

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1980
Body weight and body fat changes (calculated from skinfold thickness) that occurred in a male population spending a year on an Antarctic base are described. There was a marked individual variation in patterns of weight and fat changes between seasons but mean values for the whole community showed little change over the year. Combining skinfold and body

Descriptive Epidemiology of Body Weight and Weight Change in U.S. Adults

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1993
Data on body weight and weight change collected from nationally representative samples of U.S. adults are reviewed. The body mass index (weight [kg]/height [m2]) has a low correlation with height and is used to compare body weights between persons of differing heights. The BMI varies to a greater degree in women than in men.

The relationship between changes in body weight and changes in psychosocial functioning

Appetite, 1992
Previous studies have indicated that obesity is related to a variety of psychosocial problems. Unfortunately, the literature on the relationship between weight status and psychosocial functioning has primarily utilized clinical samples and cross-sectional designs. The current study prospectively explored the relationship between weight gain and changes

Prediction of body weight changes caused by changes in energy balance

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2002
AbstractBackground Experimental difficulties have so far restricted knowledge of the effects of energy imbalance on change in body weight. Direct measurement requires that the subjects are kept under dietary supervision for several months while the activity is being measured.Materials and methods The effects of energy balance can be calculated using a ...

INFLUENCE OF BODY WEIGHT AND CHANGES IN BODY WEIGHT OF THE COW ON PREWEANING TRAITS OF THE CALF

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1980
This study was designed to estimate and evaluate environmental factors affecting birth weight, weaning weight and preweaning average daily gain (ADG) of purebred Shorthorn calves from the control line of a selection experiment. Nine years of data consisted of 635 birth weight and 607 weaning weight records.
