Associations of infant appetitive traits during milk feeding stage with age at introduction to solids and sweet food/beverage intake
Obesogenic home food availability, diet, and BMI in Pakistani and White toddlers
Individuals of South Asian ethnicity have an increased risk for obesity and related diseases. Foods available in the home during the first 1000 days (conception to 24 months old) are an important determinant of diet, yet no study has examined the association of early-life home food availability (HFA) with later diet and obesity risk in South Asian households. We examined whether obesogenic HFA at 18 months of age is associated with dietary intake…
How Well Do U.S. Hispanics Adhere to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans? Results from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos
Purpose: To examine alignment between 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) and dietary choices of individuals in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) between 2008 and 2011. Methods: Data are from 15,633 adults 18–74 years from the population-based cohort in HCHS/SOL. The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) 2010 was used to measure diet quality. Means and standard errors (SEs) for the HEI total and each of the 12 component…

Intergenerational pathways linking maternal early life adversity to offspring birthweight
Consumption of obesogenic foods in non‐Hispanic black mother–infant dyads
Obesity continues to be a problem in the United States. Of particular concern is the epidemic of early childhood obesity. A significant predictor of child diet is maternal diet, but little is known about this relationship during infancy. This study examined the association between maternal and infant consumption of key food groups from 6 to 18 months using data from the Infant Care, Feeding, and Risk of Obesity Study, a prospective cohort of 217 …
Consumption of key food groups during the postpartum period in low-income, non-Hispanic black mothers
Provision of lipid‐based nutrient supplements to H onduran children increases their dietary macro‐ and micronutrient intake without displacing other foods
Inadequate energy intake and poor diet quality are important causes of chronic child undernutrition. Strategies for improving diet quality using lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) are currently being tested in several countries. To date, information on children's dietary intakes during LNS use is available only from Africa. In this study, we collected 24-h dietary recalls at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months on Honduran children (n = 298) parti…
Risk factors associated with the presence and severity of food insecurity in rural Honduras
Objective To identify factors associated with the presence and severity of food insecurity among a sample of Honduran caregivers of young children. Design Cross-sectional study in which the dependent variable, household food insecurity, was measured using a fourteen-item questionnaire developed and validated in a population of similar cultural context. A predictive modelling strategy used backwards elimination in logistic regression and multinomi…
Preconception Stress, Birth Weight, and Birth Weight Disparities Among US Women
Objectives. We examined the impact of preconception acute and chronic stressors on offspring birth weight and racial/ethnic birth weight disparities. Methods. We included birth weights for singleton live first (n = 3512) and second (n = 1901) births to White, Mexican-origin Latina, other-origin Latina, and Black women reported at wave IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (2007–2008; ages 24–32 years). We generated factor sco…

Pregravid body mass index, psychological factors during pregnancy and breastfeeding duration: Is there a link
Breastfeeding rates in the United States are low, and one possible reason may be the high prevalence of overweight/obesity among women of childbearing age. This analysis examined the association between pregravid body mass index and breastfeeding duration, and explored whether depressive symptoms, perceived stress and anxiety during pregnancy mediated this relationship. Participants (n = 550) in the Pregnancy, Infection and Nutrition Postpartum S…

Perceived Barriers to Physical Activity Among Pregnant Women
Pregravid body mass index is negatively associated with diet quality during pregnancy
Objective To investigate the association between pregravid weight status and diet quality. Design Institute of Medicine body mass index (BMI) cut-off points of − 2 for underweight, 19.8–26.0 kg m − 2 for normal weight, >26.0–29.0 kg m − 2 for overweight and >29 kg m − 2 for obese were used to categorise women's weight status. Dietary information was obtained by self-report at 26–28 weeks' gestation using a modified Block food-frequency questionna…
Psychosocial Factors and Socioeconomic Indicators Are Associated with Household Food Insecurity among Pregnant Women
Predictors of pregnancy and postpartum haemoglobin concentrations in low-income women
Objective: Pregnancy and postpartum iron status is of great public health importance, yet few studies have examined predictors of haemoglobin (Hb) concentration during this time. We identified predictors of Hb from 24 weeks' gestation until delivery and from 4 to 25 weeks postpartum. Design: Blood was drawn as many as four times during care: at the initial visit, at 24–29 weeks' gestation, at delivery and postpartum. A longitudinal, multivariable…
Eating at fast-food restaurants is associated with dietary intake, demographic, psychosocial and behavioural factors among African Americans in North Carolina
Objective: To examine associations of the frequency of eating at fast-food restaurants with demographic, behavioural and psychosocial factors and dietary intake in African American adults. Methods: Self-reported data from a population-based cross-sectional survey of 658 African Americans, aged 20–70 years, in North Carolina. An 11-page questionnaire assessed eating at fast-food restaurants, demographic, behavioural and diet-related psychosocial f…
Psychosocial Factors and Preterm Birth Among African American and White Women in Central North Carolina
Objectives. We assessed associations between psychosocial factors and preterm birth, stratified by race in a prospective cohort study. Methods. We surveyed 1898 women who used university and public health prenatal clinics regarding various psychosocial factors. Results. African Americans were at higher risk of preterm birth if they used distancing from problems as a coping mechanism or reported racial discrimination. Whites were at higher risk if…
Changes in Diet Quality of American Preschoolers Between 1977 and 1998
Objectives. We determined diet quality trends among nationally representative samples of preschoolers between 1977 and 1998. Methods. Adjusted diet quality index scores, overall intake, and tertiles of total score were compared for combined samples and 2 age groups using t tests with Bonferroni correction; surveys used were the US Department of Agriculture’s National Food Consumption Survey 1977–1979 (n = 2342), Continuing Survey of Food Intake b…

Trends in Energy Intake in U.S. between 1977 and 1996: Similar Shifts Seen across Age Groups
Objective: To determine the trends in locations and food sources of Americans stratified by age group for both total energy and the meal and snack subcomponents. Research Methods and Procedures: Nationally representative data was taken from the 1977 to 1978 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey and the 1989 to 1991 and 1994 to 1996 (and 1998 for children age 2 through 9) Continuing Surveys of Food Intake by Individuals. The sample consisted of 63,38…
Infant Feeding Practices and Maternal Dietary Intake Among Latino Immigrants in California
A Diet Quality Index for Pregnancy detects variation in diet and differences by sociodemographic factors
Objective: Methods currently used to assess nutritional status during pregnancy have limitations if one wishes to examine the overall quality of the diet. A Diet Quality Index for Pregnancy (DQI-P) was developed to reflect current nutritional recommendations for pregnancy and national dietary guidelines. Design: Dietary intake was assessed during the second trimester using a food-frequency questionnaire. The DQI-P includes eight components: % rec…
