Association of childhood food consumption and dietary pattern with cardiometabolic risk factors and metabolomics in late adolescence
BACKGROUND: Healthy diet might protect against cardiometabolic diseases, but uncertainty exists about its definition and role in adolescence. METHOD: In a subset of Hong Kong's 'Children of 1997' birth cohort (n=2844 out of 8327), we prospectively examined sex-specific associations of food consumption and dietary pattern, proxied by the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) at~12.0 years, with cardiometabolic risk factors and metabolomics at~17.6 year…
Duration of puberty in preterm girls
OBJECTIVES: Preterm birth is associated with altered pubertal timing, but the effect on pubertal duration has rarely been assessed. Here, we tested the hypothesis that preterm birth is associated with shorter duration of puberty among girls in Hong Kong where preterm birth has little social patterning. METHODS: In the population-representative Chinese birth cohort "Children of 1997", we used multivariable linear regression to assess the associati…
Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a cohort of Chinese schoolchildren
MetS was highly prevalent amongst obese children and adolescents in this cohort, regardless of the definition used. Central obesity is the key player in the clustering of metabolic risk factors in children, supporting the new IDF definition. Moreover, our findings suggest that a common factor may underlie MetS. Leptin/adiponectin ratio as a possible component of MetS deserves further consideration
