Longitudinal changes in home food availability and concurrent associations with food and nutrient intake among children at 24–48 months
Objectives: To describe changes in home food availability during early childhood, including modified, developmentally sensitive obesogenic scores, and to determine whether home food availability is associated with food and nutrient intakes of children concurrently, over time. Design: Data were drawn from the STRONG Kids 2 longitudinal, birth cohort to achieve the study objectives. Home food availability was assessed with the Home Food Inventory (…

Breastfeeding and risk of overweight in childhood and beyond: A systematic review with emphasis on sibling-pair and intervention studies
State Laws Governing Competitive Foods and Beverages Sold in Schools and Childhood Obesity among Children with Special Healthcare Needs, 2007‐2016
Objective In this study, we assessed the impact of state laws governing competitive foods/beverages sold in schools on childhood overweight/obesity among children aged 10-17 years with and without special healthcare needs (SHCN). Methods Individual-level data from 2007-2008, 2011-2012, and 2016 National Survey of Children's Health (N = 108,009) were merged to data on state codified laws regulating competitive foods/beverages sold in schools based…
Observed differences in child picky eating behavior between home and childcare locations
Parental perception of child weight in the first two years-of-life: A potential link between infant feeding and preschoolers' diet
Head Start and child care providers’ motivators, barriers and facilitators to practicing family-style meal service
Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs About Nutrition and Childhood Overweight Among WIC Participants
This study assessed knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about nutrition, physical activity, and health risks related to childhood overweight among Women, Infants, and Children participants. Most (n = 165) were knowledgeable about causes/health risks of overweight (90%). The belief that "some people are born big or thin . . . " varied by education level (P < 0.05). Concerning activity, many (white non-Hispanic, 53%; African-American 69%) reported th…
Host–microbe interactions in neonatal intestinal development. Role of early nutrition
Hormonal correlates of ontogeny in baboons ( Papio hamadryas anubis ) and mangabeys ( Cercocebus atys )
This study investigates the relationship between serum hormone levels and morphometrics during ontogeny in olive baboons ( Papio hamadryas anubis ) and sooty mangabeys ( Cercocebus atys ), to test hypotheses about the endocrine regulation of species size differences. First, we expect that levels of hormones and binding proteins predict size change during ontogeny in both species. Second, a high level of integration among the hormones and binding …
Hormones and body size evolution in papionin primates
This study examines the evolution of size differences among papionin primates by measuring hormones that regulate size growth during ontogeny and influence ultimate adult size (insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I), insulin‐like growth factor binding protein‐3 (IGFBP‐3), growth hormone binding protein (GHBP), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), testosterone, estradiol). The analyses assess longstanding ideas about circulating hormone levels an…
