Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity From Ages 9 to 15 Years
CONTEXT: Decreased physical activity plays a critical role in the increase in childhood obesity. Although at least 60 minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is recommended, few longitudinal studies have determined the recent patterns of physical activity of youth. OBJECTIVE: To determine the patterns and determinants of MVPA of youth followed from ages 9 to 15 years. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Longitudinal descri…
Identifying Risk for Obesity in Early Childhood
OBJECTIVES. Our aim with this study was to assist clinicians by estimating the predictive value of earlier levels of BMI status on later risk of overweight and obesity during the middle childhood and early adolescent years. METHODS. We present growth data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, a longitudinal sample of 1042 healthy US children in 10 locations. Born in 1991…
Acculturation, Parent–Child Acculturation Differential, and Chronic Disease Risk Factors in a Mexican-American Population
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Anglo and Mexican American Children and Their Mothers
Cardiovascular disease risk factors may vary in different ethnic and socioeconomic status groups, and it is important to explore these factors. Cardiovascular disease risk factors, eating behavior, and physical activity were studied in lower to middle socioeconomic status (SES) Anglo American (N=146) and Mexican American (N=201) families, each with a preschool child. Independent variables were child's gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and …

The development of self-efficacy scales for healthrelated diet and exercise behaviors
The purpose of the study was to develop selfefficacy scales specifically for health-related eating and exercise behaviors. Study I consisted of interviews with 40 individuals to identify behavioral and situational components of dietary and exercise change. In Study II items derived from their responses were administered to 171 subjects. Principal-components factor analysis yielded two meaningful exercise self-efficacy factors and five dietary sel…

The development of scales to measure social support for diet and exercise behaviors
Cohesion and Adaptability in Mexican-American and Anglo Families
This article reports data from a community sample of Anglos and Mexican Americans concerning two dimensions of family functioning: cohesion and adaptability. The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales-II (FACES) were used with a sample of 294 parents with school-age children who were taking part in a large community-based health promotion project. In addition, an acculturation measure was used in order to test for differences that mig…

Patterns of Primary Care Utilization in a Triethnic Urban Population of School Children
Patterns of primary health care utilization for a random sample of urban elementary school children in three ethnic groups are described. Visit type, reasons for visit, and frequency of visits remained stable from year to year. More than 50 per cent of the children were non-visitors each year; 72 per cent of those not visiting the first year also did not visit the second year. Anglo-Americans were more likely to be non-visitors. Enrollment in a c…
Relationship between nursery school behavior patterns and later school functioning
This study supports the findings of others that nursery school behavior patterns are significantly related to later school functioning. Recent clinical reports indicate that preschool behavior patterns can be modified with relative ease by teachers and parents. After an improvement in screening procedures, an attempt at early intervention appears warranted
