Topography determines soil C
Topography dominates soil N and P stoichiometry in karst forests. • Variation in soil C:N:P ratios is primarily attributed to elevation and rock exposure. • Forest attributes exert only a weak regulatory influence on soil C:N:P stoichiometry. • Findings aid forest management and restoration in karst regions. Understanding the ecological stoichiometry of soil nutrients and their drivers is essential for managing forest ecosystems, particularly in …

Compositional data analysis for physical activity, sedentary time and sleep research
The health effects of daily activity behaviours (physical activity, sedentary time and sleep) are widely studied. While previous research has largely examined activity behaviours in isolation, recent studies have adjusted for multiple behaviours. However, the inclusion of all activity behaviours in traditional multivariate analyses has not been possible due to the perfect multicollinearity of 24-h time budget data. The ensuing lack of adjustment …
Association of early pregnancy body mass index and children's birth weight with risk of being overweight in childhood

Risk of childhood undernutrition related to small-for-gestational age and preterm birth in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Low- and middle-income countries continue to experience a large burden of stunting; 148 million children were estimated to be stunted, around 30-40% of all children in 2011. In many of these countries, foetal growth restriction (FGR) is common, as is subsequent growth faltering in the first 2 years. Although there is agreement that stunting involves both prenatal and postnatal growth failure, the extent to which FGR contributes to stu…

Association of Gestational Weight Gain With Maternal and Infant Outcomes
IMPORTANCE: Body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain are increasing globally. In 2009, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) provided specific recommendations regarding the ideal gestational weight gain. However, the association between gestational weight gain consistent with theIOM guidelines and pregnancy outcomes is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To perform a systematic review, meta-analysis, and metaregression to evaluate associations between gestati…
Socioeconomic status and dietary patterns in children from around the world
This study provides evidence of diet-SES gradients across all levels of human development and that lower within-country SES is strongly related to unhealthy dietary patterns. Consistency in within-country diet-SES gradients suggest that interventions and public health strategies aimed at improving dietary patterns among children may be similarly employed globally. However, future studies should seek to replicate these findings in more representat…
