Association Between Fat Mass in Early Life and Later Fat Mass Trajectories

JAMA Pediatrics, 2020
A rapid increase in weight in early life is associated with an increased risk for adiposity and cardiovascular diseases at age 21 years and beyond. However, data on associations of early change in measured fat mass percentage (FM%) with adiposity development are lacking.To investigate whether a rapid increase in FM% in the first months of life is ...

Parental fat‐free mass is related to the fat‐free mass of infants and maternal fat mass is related to the fat mass of infant girls

Acta Paediatrica, 2015
AbstractAimExisting studies suggest that weight and body composition of parents influence the size and body composition of their offspring, but are often inconclusive and conducted by means of inappropriate body composition methodology. Our aim was to study infant size and body composition variables in relation to body composition variables of their ...
