  • Examining Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Low-Risk Cesarean Section Deliveries in the Colorado Healthy Start Study

    Open AccessCeleste Connell, Jason Giles et al.ARTICLEJournal of Racial and Ethnic…2026

  • Maternal carbohydrate intake during pregnancy is associated with child peripubertal markers of metabolic health but not adiposity

    Open AccessMolly C Mulcahy, Martha Maria Téllez-Rojo et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2022

    Objective: To examine the associations of trimester-specific maternal prenatal carbohydrate (CHO) intake with offspring adiposity and metabolic health during peripuberty. Design: Prospective cohort study in which maternal dietary intake was collected via validated FFQ during each trimester. Offspring adiposity and metabolic biomarkers were evaluated at age 8–14 years. We used multivariable linear regression to examine associations between total e…

  • Relationships of beverage consumption and actigraphy-assessed sleep parameters among urban-dwelling youth from Mexico

    Open AccessErica C Jansen, Kathleen Corcoran et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2022

    Objective: To examine whether usual beverage intake was associated with sleep timing, duration and fragmentation among adolescents. Design: Usual beverage intake was assessed with a FFQ. Outcomes included sleep duration, midpoint (median of bed and wake times) and fragmentation, assessed with 7-d actigraphy. Sex-stratified linear regression was conducted with sleep characteristics as separate outcomes and quantiles of energy-adjusted beverage int…

  • Impact of maternal overweight and obesity on milk composition and infant growth

    Open AccessLindsay Ellsworth, Wei Perng et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    Overweight and obesity (OW/OB) impact half of the pregnancies in the United States and can have negative consequences for offspring health. Studies are limited on human milk alterations in the context of maternal obesity. Alterations in milk are hypothesized to impact offspring development during the critical period of lactation. We aimed to evaluate the relationships between mothers with OW/OB (body mass index [BMI] ≥25 kg/m 2 ), infant growth, …

  • Metabolic trajectories across early adolescence

    Open AccessWei Perng, Sheryl L Rifas‐Shiman et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2019

    Background: Biomarkers of cardiovascular and metabolic risk track from adolescence into adulthood, therefore characterising the direction and magnitude of these changes is an important first step to identifying health trajectories that presage future disease risk. Aim: To characterise changes in metabolic biomarkers across early adolescence in a multi-ethnic cohort. Subjects and methods: Among 891 participants in Project Viva we estimated changes…

  • Associations of the infancy body mass index peak with anthropometry and cardiometabolic risk in Mexican adolescents

    Open AccessWei Perng, Jonggyu Baek et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2018

    Later age and larger magnitude of the infancy BMI peak are associated with higher adiposity at 8-14 years of age. Later age but not magnitude of the BMI peak are related to a worse cardiometabolic profile during peripuberty

  • Adherence to a snacking dietary pattern and soda intake are related to the development of adiposity

    Open AccessMonal R Shroff, Wei Perng et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2014

    Objective Snacking has been related to increased prevalence of overweight among school-age children in cross-sectional studies. It is uncertain, however, whether snacking influences the development of adiposity over time. Design We examined whether adherence to a snacking dietary pattern was associated with greater increases in children's BMI, subscapular:triceps skinfold thickness ratio and waist circumference over a median 2·5-year follow-up. D…

  • Inflammation and weight gain in reproductive-aged women

    Open AccessWei Perng, Sheryl L Rifas‐Shiman et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2014

    Higher mid-gestation CRP was related to modestly higher subsequent GWG rate. Future studies are warranted to confirm these findings

  • Accuracy of self-reported weight and height in women from Bogotá, Colombia

    Open AccessEmily W Tsai, Wei Perng et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2013

    Bias in self-reported anthropometry varied with respect to objectively measured anthropometry and sociodemographic characteristics. BMI from self-reported anthropometry under-estimates overweight/obesity and obesity prevalence; calibration methods can effectively correct reporting bias
