Features of childhood growth, lifestyle and environment associated with a cardiometabolic risk score in young adults

Obesity Facts, 2021
Introduction: In young adults, the metabolic syndrome is rare. To better assess the risks for future cardiovascular disease, a cardiometabolic score can be used, ranking the disease risk in each subject. The score is a continuous variable summarising the

The transition to Post-industrial BMI values among US children [PDF]

, 2008
Background: The trend in the BMI values of US children has not been estimated very convincingly because of the absence of longitudinal data. Our object is to estimate time series of BMI values by birth cohorts instead of measurement years.

Prevalence of overweight, obesity, and early adiposity rebound in nursery school children in southeastern France

Archives de Pédiatrie, 2022
The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and early adiposity rebound in nursery school children aged 3.5-4.5 years and to evaluate associations with deprivation.A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southeastern France. Data for all nursery school children aged 3.5-4.5 years

Early adiposity rebound in childhood and risk of Type 2 diabetes in adult life [PDF]

Diabetologia, 2003
Type 2 diabetes is associated with a small body size at birth and a high BMI in adult life. The aim of our study was to assess the associations between Type 2 diabetes and birth size, infant growth and age at adiposity rebound.We carried out a longitudinal study of 8760 subjects born in Helsinki during 1934 to 1944. On average, they had 18 measurements

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

Blood Pressure, Heart Rate Variability, and Adiposity in Caribbean Pre-pubertal Children

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Childhood obesity prevalence has increased over the last 30 years. The Heart Rate Variability (HRV) studies performed in adults suggest a possible relation between abnormal autonomic regulation and hypertension in the situation of overweight or obesity ...

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,

Cranial radiotherapy predisposes to abdominal adiposity in survivors of childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Advances in treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia increased the likelihood of developing late treatment-associated effects, such as abdominal adiposity, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease in this population.

Exclusive breastfeeding can attenuate body-mass-index increase among genetically susceptible children: A longitudinal study from the ALSPAC cohort.

PLoS Genetics, 2020
Recent discoveries from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) explain a larger proportion of the genetic variability to BMI and obesity. The genetic risk associated with BMI and obesity can be assessed by an obesity-specific genetic risk ...

Socio-demographic and lifestyle factors for child’s physical growth and adiposity rebound of Japanese children: a longitudinal study of the 21st century longitudinal survey in newborns [PDF]

, 2014
Background: It is unknown whether childhood physical development in Asian populations differs from western populations, since no longitudinal analysis has been performed in Asian countries yet.
