Objective
In longitudinal studies, women gain significant amounts of weight during young adulthood, pointing to pregnancy as an important trigger for weight gain. Studies examining the effect of parity vary in their findings and are complicated by multiple potential confounders. This study examines the association between parity and long‐term weight gain in a cohort of young women participating in...
Objective
The aim of this study was to examine the association between the amount, intensity, and pattern of steps·day−1 with weight loss.
Methods
Participants (N = 260; age = 42.8 ± 8.9 y; BMI = 32.8 ± 3.5 kg/m2) completed an 18‐month weight‐loss intervention that included a calorie‐restricted diet and prescribed physical activity. Participants were categorized by 18‐month weight loss as weight...
Objective
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of weight loss and weight loss maintenance (WLM) on weight‐specific health‐related quality of life in a 66‐week trial.
Methods
Adults with obesity (N = 137, 86.1% female, 68.6% black, mean age = 46.1 years) who had lost ≥ 5% of initial weight in a 14‐week intensive lifestyle intervention/low‐calorie diet (LCD) program were randomly...
Objective
To characterize associations of snacking frequency with weight status among US children aged 1 to 5 years.
Methods
Participants were children (n = 4,669) aged 1 to 5 years in the 2005 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Snacking was assessed by two 24‐hour dietary recalls using definitions that considered “snack” occasions as well as other foods/beverages...
Objective
This study aimed to compare BMI trajectories from childhood to early adulthood in those with overweight and/or obesity versus severe obesity.
Methods
Longitudinal BMI values (2,542 measurements) were calculated from measured heights and weights for 103 children, adolescents, or young adults with overweight, obesity, or severe obesity. Segmented regression with splines was used to model...
Objective
To examine whether the relationship between nativity and overweight/obesity has changed over time among Mexican American children and to investigate the implications of this pattern on overweight/obesity disparities relative to non‐Hispanic white children.
Methods
Using cross‐sectional data from Mexican American and non‐Hispanic white children aged 4 to 17 years participating in the National...
Objective
The objective of this study was to assess the associations of abdominal visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue with blood glucose and beta‐cell function.
Methods
In this study, 11,223 participants without known diabetes were selected for this cross‐sectional analysis. Visceral and subcutaneous fat area (VFA and SFA) were measured by magnetic resonance imaging. An oral glucose tolerance...
Objective
Individuals who have “metabolically obese normal weight” (MONW) have an increased risk for cardiometabolic disease. Moderate weight loss has multiple benefits in people with obesity, but its effects in lean people are unknown. Thus, the effects of diet‐induced 5% weight loss on body composition and metabolic function in MONW subjects were evaluated.
Methods
Total body fat, visceral adipose...
Objective
The goal of this study was to understand the association between children's neighborhood food access and overweight/obesity in a national sample of US households, and whether this association differs by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation or household purchases.
Methods
Data were obtained from the National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (2012‐2013;...
Objective
This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of blood oxygen level‐dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD‐MRI) to evaluate visceral adipose tissue (VAT) oxygenation in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats and its associations with systemic metaflammation.
Methods
Five‐week‐old ZDF rats and Zucker lean (ZL) rats were fed a high‐fat diet (HFD) for 18 weeks. A baseline BOLD‐MRI scan of...
Objective
Whether obesity is associated with childhood cognition is unknown. Given the sensitivity of the developing brain to environmental factors, this study examined whether early‐life weight status was associated with children's cognition.
Methods
Using data from mother–child pairs enrolled in the Health Outcomes and Measures of the Environment (HOME) Study (2003–2006), children's early‐life...
Objective
This paper investigated the impact of A Body Shape Index (ABSI) on the risk of all‐cause mortality compared with the impact of waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI).
Methods
This paper reviewed data of 213,569 Korean adults who participated in health checkups between 2002 and 2012 at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital in Seoul, Korea. A multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis...
Objective
The clinical implications of human brown adipose tissue (BAT) were investigated based on the analysis of cervical adipose tissue gene expression under normal physiological conditions.
Methods
Matched‐pair specimens of adipose tissue (AT) were collected from beneath the incision plane (subcutaneous AT) and from the area surrounding the carotid sheath (carotid AT) from 60 patients undergoing...
Objective
The goal of this study was to identify patterns of BMI changes across childhood (ages 24 months to 13 years) and to assess whether demographic characteristics, birth weight, and percent infant weight gain from birth to 15 months predicted BMI patterns.
Methods
Eleven waves of data from the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development were used. Trained technicians assessed children's...
Objective
This study assessed the weight stigma experiences of men, examining characteristics of men who experienced weight stigma versus men who did not.
Methods
Data from three samples of men were examined (N = 1,513). Sample 1 consisted of men with obesity at elevated risk for weight stigma. Sample 2 comprised a convenience online panel. Sample 3 included men from a national online panel of...
Objective
Severe obesity is the only obesity classification increasing in prevalence among children and adolescents. Treatment options that produce meaningful and sustained weight loss and comorbidity resolution are urgently needed.
Methods
The purpose of this review is to provide a brief overview of the current treatment options for pediatric severe obesity and offer suggestions regarding future...
Objective
This study aimed to identify factors that may predispose women to excess gestational weight gain (GWG).
Methods
Seventy‐two healthy women with obesity (30 class I, 24 class II, 18 class III) expecting a singleton pregnancy were studied at 13 to 16 weeks gestation. Energy expenditure (EE) was measured during sleep (SleepEE, average EE from 0200‐0500 hours) in a whole‐room calorimeter,...
