  • Comparative evidence of the consumption from fast-food restaurants between normal-weight and obese Saudi schoolchildren

    Open AccessHmidan A Alturki, Denise SK Brookes et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2018

    Objective To provide an in-depth analysis of the relationship between obesity and fast-food consumption by comparing urban obese and normal-weight Saudi Arabian children. Design A multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2015 to March 2016. Participants were divided into two groups (normal weight and obese) and further stratified by sex. Groups were randomly selected using a multistage stratified cluster-sampling technique. A…

  • Effect of fortified milk on growth and nutritional status in young children

    Open AccessMisa Matsuyama, Tracy Harb et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2017

    Objective Adequate nutrition is critical for optimal growth and development. However, young children may be at risk of nutrient deficiencies when transitioning to weaning foods for a variety of reasons. Supplementation with fortified milk may provide potentially lacking essential nutrients, but effects on growth and nutritional status are yet to be established. Design Five databases were searched for randomised controlled trials using fortified m…

  • Utility of the waist-to-height ratio as an instrument to measure parental perception of body weight in children and its use in a population-based survey of children

    Open AccessSmita Nambiar, Helen Truby et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2013

    Objective To investigate which anthropometric measure of overweight status, BMI or waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), is most closely associated with parents’ perception of their child's overweight status. Design The sensitivity and specificity of parental perception against child-specific BMI and WHtR definitions of overweight were tested. Setting Primary schools in Queensland, Australia. Subjects Boys and girls aged 9·00–11·99 years ( n 1431). Resul…

  • A prospective, longitudinal study of growth, nutrition and sedentary behaviour in young children with cerebral palsy

    Open AccessK Bell, Kristie L Bell et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    This protocol describes a study that will provide the first longitudinal description of the relationship between functional attainment and modifiable lifestyle factors (dietary intake and habitual time spent sedentary) and their impact on the growth, body composition and nutritional status of young children with cerebral palsy across all levels of functional ability

  • The Eat Smart Study

    Open AccessHelen Truby, Kimberley A Baxter et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    The protocol for this study is registered with the International Clinical Trials Registry (ISRCTN49438757)

  • Developing waist-to-height ratio cut-offs to define overweight and obesity in children and adolescents

    Open AccessSmita Nambiar, Ian Hughes et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2010

    Objective The waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) assesses abdominal adiposity and has been proposed to be of greater value in predicting obesity-related cardiovascular health risks in children than BMI. The present study aims to develop WHtR cut-offs for overweight and obesity based on the 85th and 95th percentiles for the percentage body fat (%BF) in a cohort of children and adolescents. Design Waist circumference (WC), height, triceps and subscapular…
