Twenty-Year Trend in the Prevalence of Increased Cardiometabolic Risk, Measured by Abdominal Obesity, Among Spanish Children and Adolescents Across Body Mass Index Categories
Assessing the Understanding of Chronic Diseases in the Latino Community of Southern California
The neighborhood food environment modifies the association between infant feeding and childhood obesity
Among specialty infant formulas issued by WIC, only CSSFs were associated with elevated obesity risk, and this association was stronger in healthier food environments. Future research is needed to isolate the mechanism underlying this association
Sex-specific impulsivity, but not other facets of executive function, predicts fat and sugar intake two-years later amongst adolescents with a healthy weight
The impact of social determinants of health on obesity and diabetes disparities among Latino communities in Southern California
These results suggest that Latinos in Southern California live in communities with adverse SDoH and face a greater burden of adult obesity, diabetes, and childhood obesity
The Influence of Parental Education on Dietary Intake in Latino Youth
The impact of sugar sweetened beverage intake on hunger and satiety in minority adolescents
Forefronts in portion size. An overview and synthesis of a roundtable discussion
High fructose corn syrup and diabetes prevalence
The overall aim of this study was to evaluate, from a global and ecological perspective, the relationships between availability of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Using published resources, country-level estimates (n =43 countries) were obtained for: total sugar, HFCS and total calorie availability, obesity, two separate prevalence estimates for diabetes, prevalence estimate for impaired glucose tolerance and fa…
Do neighbourhoods matter? Neighbourhood disorder and long-term trends in serum cortisol levels
Children who are exposed to negative socioenvironmental climates over time are more likely to have altered serum cortisol levels. This may be an adaptive mechanism to cope with stress; however, disrupted cortisol levels may have negative effects on general physical and mental health
Estimating energy requirements
Energy requirements have traditionally been determined based on multiples of resting metabolic rate (RMR), known as Physical Activity Levels (PAL). With more data from doubly labelled water studies alternative approaches for estimating energy requirements have been suggested. Statistical analysis reveals that body weight explains more of the variance in total energy expenditure (TEE) than does RMR. The explanation for this phenomenon is that body…
Relation between mothers’ child-feeding practices and children’s adiposity
Validity of body mass index compared with other body-composition screening indexes for the assessment of body fatness in children and adolescents
Visceral fat in prepubertal children
Visceral fat, or intra-abdominal adipose tissue (IAAT) lies deep within the abdominal cavity and can only be directly quantified with imaging techniques. IAAT has been detected in children as young as 5 years of age. IAAT generally increases in proportion with general fatness, but the relationship between IAAT and total body fat is complex; in children, a major portion of the variance in IAAT is independent of total body fat. The waist-to-hip rat…
