P19 Socioeconomic disparities in trajectories of adiposity across childhood
Objective Socioeconomic inequalities in obesity are consistently observed in high-income countries, with lower socioeconomic groups tending to be more adipose amongst both adults and children. The development of such inequalities across childhood, however, has not been studied using longitudinal data. Design Using longitudinal data from a prospective birth cohort study, we modelled individual trajectories of adiposity from birth to 10 years using…
Objective measurement of levels and patterns of physical activity
OBJECTIVE: To measure the levels and patterns of physical activity, using accelerometers, of 11-year-old children participating in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis. SETTING: ALSPAC is a birth cohort study located in the former county of Avon, in the southwest of England. This study used data collected when the children were 11 years old. PARTICIPANTS: 5595 children (2662 boys, 2933 gir…
Does birth weight predict childhood diet in the Avon longitudinal study of parents and children
Study objective: Low birth weight predicts cardiovascular disease in adulthood, and one possible explanation is that children with lower birth weight consume more fat than those born heavier. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate associations between birth weight and childhood diet, and in particular, to test the hypothesis that birth weight is inversely related to total and saturated fat intake. Design: Prospective cohort stu…
The challenges of evaluating environmental interventions to increase population levels of physical activity
Microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, are exquisitely sensitive to dynamic changes in the neural environment. Using single cell RNA sequencing of the postnatal somatosensory cortex during topographic remapping, we identified a type I interferon (IFN-I) responsive microglia population that expanded with this developmental stressor. Using the marker gene IFITM3 we found that IFN-I responsive microglia were engulfing whole neurons. Loss o…
Height, body mass index, and survival in men with coronary disease
Taller people have a lower risk of coronary death and death from all causes,1 but there are few data on the association between height and survival in those with coronary disease. Similarly being either underweight or obese is associated with increased coronary and all cause mortality 2 but the association of body mass index (BMI) and survival in people with symptomatic coronary heart disease has not been so widely reported.3,4 We examined these …
Milk, coronary heart disease and mortality
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To study the association between reported milk consumption and cardiovascular and all cause mortality. DESIGN: A prospective study of 5765 men aged 35-64 at the time of examination. SETTING: Workplaces in the west of Scotland between 1970 and 1973. PARTICIPANTS: Men who completed a health and lifestyle questionnaire, which asked about daily milk consumption, and who attended for a medical examination. MAIN RESULTS: 150 (2.6%) men…
Fruit and vegetables, and cardiovascular disease
BACKGROUND: Increased interest in the potential cardio-protective effects of fruit and vegetables is currently unsupported by systematic reviews of the reported associations of these foods with risk. METHOD: All ecological, case-control, cohort studies and unconfounded trials in humans were eligible for inclusion. Eligible outcomes were symptomatic coronary heart disease, stroke and total circulatory disease. Only studies of diet that reported on…
