Factors Associated with Breastfeeding Initiation and Continuation at Two Months Postpartum in American Indian Women: An Exploratory Analysis
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of breastfeeding initiation and continuation at two months postpartum in American Indian (AI) mothers in South Dakota and to identify factors associated with breastfeeding. Using logistic regression, data from the South Dakota Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System were used to investigate the relationship between binary breastfeeding initiation and continuation outcomes and maternal behaviors and…

Community Outreach and Engagement to Prepare for Household Recruitment of National Children's Study Participants in a Rural Setting
Context: The National Children's Study (NCS) is a longitudinal study of environmental influences on children's health. Recruitment of a representative birth cohort that will be followed until 21 years of age requires unique approaches across the nationwide study communities. Purpose: To describe community outreach and engagement in preparation for household recruitment of women of childbearing age at a rural‐classified NCS location that includes …

The effect of menarcheal age on anthropometric, limb length, and bone measures in Hutterite and non‐Hutterite women
The age women reach menarche may affect bone length and mass. Some studies show an earlier menarcheal age (MA) results in a shorter stature and increased body fat. We hypothesized that Hutterite women have a shorter height and limb length, but greater bone mass and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) than non‐Hutterites. Results are from a secondary analysis of 344 (198 Hutterite) healthy, pre‐menopausal women aged 20−40 years who participated in t…
Pedometer Readings and Self‐Reported Walking Distances in a Rural Hutterite Population
Purpose: This study assessed the accuracy with which a rural population reported daily walking distances using a 7‐day activity recall questionnaire obtained quarterly compared to pedometer readings. Methods: Study participants were 48 Hutterite men and women aged 11‐66 years. Findings: Pedometer‐miles quartiles were associated with self‐reported daily miles (P= .008) and self‐reported previous‐year average miles (P= .03) quartiles. Among males, …

Influence of Parents’ Eating Behaviors and Child Feeding Practices on Children's Weight Status
Objective : To investigate the effects of mothers’ and fathers’ eating behaviors, child feeding practices, and BMI on percentage body fat and BMI in their children. Research Methods and Procedures : Four hundred fifty‐eight parents (239 mothers, 219 fathers) were asked to complete two questionnaires: the Three‐Factor Eating Questionnaire and the Child Feeding Questionnaire, which measure dimensions of parent eating behavior and child feeding prac…
Assessing the body composition of 6-17-year-old black and white girls in field studies
The purpose of the study was to develop ethnic-specific equations for fat-free mass (FFM) from selected anthropometric dimensions and bioelectrical impedance measures of resistance (R) and reactance (Xc) for use in the NHLBI Growth and Heath Study. Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measures of body composition as the dependent variable and field measures of body composition by anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance as the explanatory vari…

Body composition measures from underwater weighing and dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry in black and white girls: A comparative study
The purpose of this study was to compare estimates of body composition in two ethnic groups, 31 black and 38 white girls 10 through 16 years of age, to establish accurate and precise laboratory standards for field measures of body composition in the NHLBI Growth and Health Study HC 55025. The dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures of fat free mass (FFM) and % body fat (%BF) were made using Hologic QDR-1000/W. Corresponding values of FFM …
Prediction of fat‐free mass in black and white pre‐adolescent and adolescent girls from anthropometry and impedance
As an ancillary project of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's Growth and Health Study (NGHS), data of 31 black girls and 38 white girls, 10–16 years of age, were used to develop equations to predict fat‐free mass (FFM) from selected anthropometric dimensions and bioelectric impedance measures of resistance and reactance. Subjects were drawn from ongoing projects at the Children's Hospital Medical Center (CHMC) to obtain girls of both r…
