  • Physical, mental and behavioral health indicators in relation to academic performance in European boys and girls

    Open AccessQ Lin, Monica Hunsberger et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Our study underscores the need to consider both the importance of accounting for heterogeneity in sex and the differences between math and language academic subjects when investigating determinants of academic performance, setting the stage for further research on this topic to explore potential competing, synergistic, or time-dependent effects among these different health dimensions

  • Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022

    Open AccessNowell H Phelps, Rosie Singleton et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    BACKGROUND: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. METHODS: ). For school-aged children and adolescents, we report thinness (BMI 2 SD above the median). FINDINGS: From 1990 to 20…

  • Reliability of Parental Recall of Birth Weight, Birth Length and Gestational Age in the Multicenter Cohort Study Idefics

    Open AccessAnnika Swenne, Toomas Veidebaum et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2024

  • Genome‐wide DNA methylation analysis of aggressive behaviour

    Open AccessEhsan Pishva, Daniel L A van den Hove et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Human aggression is influenced by an interplay between genetic predisposition and experience across the life span. This interaction is thought to occur through epigenetic mechanisms, inducing differential gene expression, thereby moderating neuronal cell and circuit function, and thus shaping aggressive behaviour. METHODS: Genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm) levels were measured in peripheral blood obtained from 95 individuals particip…

  • Associations Between Psychosocial Well-Being, Stressful Life Events and Emotion-Driven Impulsiveness in European Adolescents

    Open AccessStefanie Do, Juul M J Coumans et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2022Referencias: 45

    Knowing the extent to which mental well-being and stressful life events during adolescence contribute to personality characteristics related to risk-taking behaviors, such as emotion-driven impulsiveness, is highly relevant for the development of health promotion measures. This study examined whether psychosocial well-being and different stressful life events are associated with emotion-driven impulsiveness. In total, 3,031 adolescents (52% girls…

  • Worldwide trends in hypertension prevalence and progress in treatment and control from 1990 to 2019

    Open AccessBin Zhou, Rodrigo M Carrillo-Larco et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2021

    BACKGROUND: Hypertension can be detected at the primary health-care level and low-cost treatments can effectively control hypertension. We aimed to measure the prevalence of hypertension and progress in its detection, treatment, and control from 1990 to 2019 for 200 countries and territories. METHODS: We used data from 1990 to 2019 on people aged 30-79 years from population-representative studies with measurement of blood pressure and data on blo…

  • Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories

    Open AccessAndrea Rodriguez-Martinez, Andrea Rodriguez‐Martinez et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2020

    BACKGROUND: Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which measures weight gain beyond what is expected from height gain, for school-aged children and adolescents. METHODS: For this pooled analysis, we used a database of cardiometabolic risk factors collated by the Non-Communicable Disease …

  • Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Associations Between Psychosocial Well-Being and Cardiometabolic Markers in European Children and Adolescents

    Barbara F Thumann, Barbara Thumann et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2020

    OBJECTIVE: Research examining aspects of positive mental health as potential predictors of cardiometabolic health in young populations is scarce. We investigated the associations between psychosocial well-being and waist circumference (WAIST), blood pressure (BP), the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol considering life-style factors as mediators. METHODS: Data of European c…

  • Variants of the Aggression-Related RBFOX1 Gene in a Population Representative Birth Cohort Study

    Open AccessMariliis Vaht, Kariina Laas et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Background: Recently, RBFOX1 , a gene encoding an RNA binding protein, has consistently been associated with aggressive and antisocial behavior. Several loci in the gene have been nominally associated with aggression in genome-wide association studies, the risk alleles being more frequent in the general population. We have hence examined the association of four RBFOX1 single nucleotide polymorphisms, previously found related to aggressive traits,…

  • Relationship between perception of emotional home atmosphere and fruit and vegetable consumption in European adolescents

    Open AccessHadil A Ghazy Elsayed, Hadil Elsayed et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: Consumption of fruits and vegetables (F&V) among adolescents falls below recommendations in many Western countries. The impact of social and emotional aspects of family life on adolescent dietary behaviour may contribute to this, yet remains under-investigated. The present study examines the association between adolescents’ perceptions of emotional home atmosphere (EHA) and their F&V consumption frequency. Design: An FFQ was used to as…

  • Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global obesity epidemic in adults

    Open AccessNCD Risk Factor Collaboration, Honor Bixby et al.ARTICLENature2019

    Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities 1,2 . This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity 3–6 . Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in more than 112 million adults, to report national, regional and global trends in mean B…

    Open AccessLeandra Abarca-Gómez, Ziad Abdeen et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2017

    BACKGROUND: Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cover underweight to obesity in children and adolescents, and to compare trends with those of adults. METHODS: We pooled 2416 population-based studies with measurements of height…

  • Timing of solid food introduction and association with later childhood overweight and obesity

    Open AccessΣτάλω Παπούτσου, Savvas C Savva et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    This study investigated associations between timing of solid food introduction and childhood obesity and explored maternal characteristics influencing early feeding practices. Cross-sectional data from children 2-9 years (n = 10,808; 50.5% boys) residing in 8 European countries of the IDEFICS study (2007-2008) were included. Late solid food introduction (≥7 months of age) was associated with an increased prevalence of later childhood overweight/o…

  • Bidirectional associations between psychosocial well-being and adherence to healthy dietary guidelines in European children

    Open AccessIDEFICS consortium, Louise Arvidsson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    Present findings suggest a bidirectional relation between diet quality and self-esteem. Additionally, higher adherence to healthy dietary guidelines at baseline was associated with fewer emotional and peer problems at follow-up, independent of children's weight status

  • Urinary Mineral Concentrations in European Pre-Adolescent Children and Their Association with Calcaneal Bone Quantitative Ultrasound Measurements
