Non-parental Childcare During Early Childhood and Problem Behaviour Trajectories from Ages 5 to 14 Years
Using data from the nationally representative Millennium Cohort Study, this study examined the association between age of starting and weekly hours in formal childcare between birth and 5 years with internalising and externalising behaviour trajectories from ages 5 to 14 years in England (N = 6194 children). Associations were analysed using multilevel general linear regression models, with adjustment for socio-economic position, maternal mental h…

De acordo com Centro Internacional de Longevidade Brasil (ILC-Brasil/2015), a cada segundo, duas pessoas no mundo celebram 60 anos de vida, constituindo um privilégio sem precedentes, à medida, em que, também, impõem políticas (saúde, educação, trabalho, lazer, etc.). Para além das políticas públicas o processo de envelhecimento carece de reflexão e conscientização, em especial, por parte dos jovens. O artigo trata de descrever a experiência “Esc…
Um observatório de preparação para a longevidade
O aumento da expectativa de vida no mundo é uma das maiores conquistas atuais, sendo o Brasil um dos países que segue essa tendência de envelhecimento global, embora mais rapidamente do que os outros. Este envelhecimento da população provoca muitas mudanças de natureza social, econômica, de saúde ou políticas que tornam necessárias políticas públicas específicas. Para auxiliar e acompanhar tanto a elaboração quanto a implementação dessas política…
La Democracia en Brasil
El envejecimiento de la población, debido a la mejora de las condiciones de vida, es una realidad ya en Brasil. Siendo este un grupo de población cada vez más numeroso. De ahí la necesidad de tener espacios donde ellos puedan plantear sus necesidades y definir la agenda política y el destino de los recursos públicos a ellos destinado. El objetivo de esta investigación es describir la situación de los consejos de mayores de las capitales de los es…
The Use of Wearable Activity Trackers in Schools to Promote Child and Adolescent Physical Activity
This study is the first study to explore the widescale use and acceptance of children and adolescents using wearables in the school-setting. Findings may inform the development of future school-based interventions and public health initiatives for physical activity promotion, using wearables
Exploring Families’ Acceptance of Wearable Activity Trackers
Families found the Fitbit easy to use and acceptable, but use varied, and perceived impact on PA were mixed, with external variables contributing towards this. This study provides insights into how wearables may be integrated into family-based PA interventions and highlights barriers and facilitators of family wearable use
Objectively-measured sedentary time and physical activity in a bi-ethnic sample of young children

Patterns of BMI development between 10 and 42 years of age and their determinants in the 1970 British Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Mixture modelling is a useful approach to identify subgroups in a population who share similar trajectories. We aimed to identify distinct body mass index (BMI) trajectories between 10 and 42 years and investigate how known early-life risk factors are related to trajectories. METHODS: Sample: 9187 participants in the 1970 British Birth Cohort Study, with BMI observations between 10 and 42 years and data on birth weight, parental BMI, …
Childhood risk factors for lifetime bulimic or compulsive eating by age 30 years in a British national birth cohort
The objective measurement of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in 2–3 year olds and their parents
Although greater efforts may be required to recruit SA, those consenting to participate were as likely as White British to provide enough data to assess habitual PA/SB. The issues and successful strategies reported in this feasibility study represent valuable information for planning future studies, and enhance recruitment and compliance with accelerometer protocols in SA and White British toddlers and parents
The growth of Portuguese and Cape Verdean infants aged 0–1 year living in Greater Lisbon, Portugal in 1993–1996
Cape Verdean infants may develop higher levels of adiposity than Portuguese infants for the same BMI, a phenomenon common in children from developing nations. Because infants had high BMI but low skin-fold values against the WHO standard, research is needed to understand how change over age in BMI according to the WHO standard reflects changes in body composition
HIV infection in hospitalized patients and Medicaid enrollees
To evaluate the accuracy of computerized medical-record coding for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), medical charts were reviewed in six sites. In 7601 hospital and 867 Medicaid records with a listed diagnosis of HIV, the predictive value for HIV was 91% or higher. HIV was identified in 34% of 1155 Medicaid records listing immune disorder or illness in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) surveillance definition (without an HIV code). …
Causes of death among persons reported with Aids
OBJECTIVES. This study describes causes of death in persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and assesses the completeness of reporting of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or AIDS on death certificates of persons with AIDS. METHODS. AIDS case reports were linked with death certificates in 11 local/state health departments; underlying and associated causes of death were available for 32,513 persons with AIDS who died. RES…
The completeness of Aids case reporting, 1988
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the completeness of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) case reporting. METHODS. Statewide or hospital-specific 1988 medical records were linked with AIDS surveillance in six sites. Medical records were reviewed for persons who had diagnoses suggesting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or AIDS but were not reported to AIDS surveillance by September 1989. RESULTS. Among 4500 ho…
