  • The Association Between Maternal Adiposity and Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration

    Open AccessAmelia Grace Bird, Hazel Inskip et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2026

    In this study maternal adiposity had little impact on breastfeeding initiation but higher maternal adiposity was associated with shorter breastfeeding duration. This study suggests that more support should be given to mothers with overweight and obesity to promote longer duration of breastfeeding

  • Musculoskeletal health and life-space mobility in older adults

    Open AccessGregorio Bevilacqua, Stefania D’Angelo et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2024Referências: 4

    This study explores the relationship between musculoskeletal conditions of ageing and life-space mobility (LSM) in 1110 community-dwelling older adults from the Hertfordshire Cohort Study. LSM is a novel measure which captures ability to mobilise within the home, locally and more widely. Among men, older age, care receipt, not driving a car, lower wellbeing, and reduced physical function were associated with lower LSM, while in women only driving…

    Open AccessKathryn R Hesketh, Alison M McMinn et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Almost 90% of mothers of inactive preschool-aged children perceive their child to be active. Nursery-school attendance and having older siblings at home may be important to consider when designing behavioural interventions to increase PA in preschool children

  • Does a heavy baby become a strong child? Grip strength at 4 years in relation to birthweight

    Richard Dodds, C Macdonald-Wallis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2010

    Objective Consistent positive relationships have been found between birthweight and grip strength in young, middle-aged and older adults, suggesting that early influences on the growth and development of muscle are important for muscle function later in the lifecourse. However there are limited data in children. We aimed to assess the relationship between birthweight and grip strength in children aged 4 years. Design Prospective general populatio…
