The value of anthropometric indices for childhood obesity in Japan
Context: Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health problems. The simplest method for the identification of adiposity in children involves measuring height and weight because these metrics are easy to obtain and are not greatly affected by observers. Objective: Body mass index (BMI) has been widely used as a surrogate marker of childhood obesity, particularly after the International Obesity Task Force recommended that BMI is appro…
Ecological analysis of secular trends in low birth weight births and adult height in Japan
BACKGROUND: Japan, which currently maintains the highest life expectancy in the world and has experienced an impressive gain in adult height over the past century, has suffered a dramatic twofold increase in low birth weight (LBW) births since the 1970s. METHODS: We observed secular trends in birth characteristics using 64 115 249 live births included the vital statistics (1969-2014), as well as trends in average height among 3 145 521 adults bor…
Rationale and study design of the Japan environment and children’s study (Jecs)
Through JECS, chemical substances to which children are exposed during the fetal stage or early childhood will be identified. The JECS results will be translated to better risk assessment and management to provide healthy environment for next generations
