  • Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and central and total adiposity in older children

    Open AccessSherman Bigornia, Sherman J Bigornia et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2015

    Objective To determine the prospective relationship between changes in sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake and central adiposity in older children. Design Dietary intakes of children were obtained by 3 d food records at ages 10 and 13 years. Waist circumference (WC) and weight and height to determine BMI were measured at 10 and 13 years and total body fat mass (TBFM) at 13 years by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Analyses were conducted using…

  • Pre-pregnancy obesity and maternal nutritional biomarker status during pregnancy

    Open AccessLaura E Tomedi, Chung-Chou H Chang et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2013

    Objective Pre-pregnancy obesity has been associated with adverse birth outcomes. Poor essential fatty acid (EFA) and micronutrient status during pregnancy may contribute to these associations. We assessed the associations between pre-pregnancy BMI and nutritional patterns of maternal micronutrient and EFA status during mid-pregnancy. Design A cross-sectional analysis from a prospective cohort study. Women provided non-fasting blood samples at ≤20…

  • A food desert in Detroit

    Open AccessKatarzyna Budzynska, Peter West et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2013

    Objective Currently 67 % of the US population is overweight or obese and obesity is associated with several chronic medical conditions. Geographic areas where individuals lack access to healthy foods have been termed ‘food deserts’. The study aim was to examine if area of residence within Metro Detroit was associated with dietary intake, food and shopping behaviours, and BMI. Design Cross-sectional study. Settings Participants were recruited in t…

  • Patterns of weight change and progression to overweight and obesity differ in men and women

    Open AccessRuth W Kimokoti, PK Newby et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2013

    Objective To evaluate long-term patterns of weight change and progression to overweight and obesity during adulthood. Design Prospective study. Changes in mean BMI, waist circumference (WC) and weight were assessed over a mean 26-year follow-up (1971–1975 to 1998–2001). Mean BMI (95 % CI) and mean WC (95 % CI) of men and women in BMI and age groups were computed. Mean weight change in BMI and age categories was compared using analysis of covarian…

  • An exploratory factor analysis of nutritional biomarkers associated with major depression in pregnancy

    Open AccessLisa M Bodnar, Katherine L Wisner et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2012

    Objective Major depressive disorder (MDD) during pregnancy increases the risk of adverse maternal and infant outcomes. Maternal nutritional status may be a modifiable risk factor for antenatal depression. We evaluated the association between patterns in mid-pregnancy nutritional biomarkers and MDD. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Subjects Women who enrolled at ≤20 weeks’ gestation and had a diagnosis of MDD…

  • Empirically Derived Eating Patterns Using Factor or Cluster Analysis

    P K Newby, Kari L Tucker et al.ARTICLENutrition Reviews2004

    This paper reviews studies performed to date that have employed cluster or factor analysis to empirically derive eating patterns. Since 1980, at least 93 studies were published that used cluster or factor analysis to define dietary exposures, of which 65 were used to test hypotheses or examine associations between patterns and disease outcomes or biomarkers. Studies were conducted in diverse populations across many countries and continents and su…
