Effect of Diet and Exercise, Alone or Combined, on Weight and Body Composition in Overweight‐to‐Obese Postmenopausal WomenObesity - Tập 20 Số 8 - Trang 1628-1638 - 2012

Lifestyle interventions for weight loss are the cornerstone of obesity therapy, yet their optimal design is debated. This is particularly true for postmenopausal women; a population with a high prevalence of obesity yet toward whom fewer studies are targeted. We conducted a year‐long, 4‐arm randomized trial among 439 overweight‐to‐obese postmenopausal sedentary women to determine the effec...... hiện toàn bộ
Childhood Overweight Prevalence in the United States: The Impact of Parent‐reported Height and WeightObesity - Tập 17 Số 8 - Trang 1574-1580 - 2009
Lara J. Akinbami, Cynthia L. Ogden
Parent‐reported height and weight are often used to estimate BMI and overweight status among children. The quality of parent‐reported data has not been compared to measured data on a national scale for all race/ethnic groups in the United States. Parent‐reported height and weight for 2–17‐year‐old children in two national health interview surveys—the 1999–2004 National Health Interview Sur...... hiện toàn bộ

This study examined the association between weight status and quality of life (QOL) in fifth‐grade African American, Hispanic, and white children and the potential mediation of this relationship by self‐concept. A sample was recruited from fifth‐grade public school students in three sites, of whom 599 were African American (40%), Hispanic (34%), or white (26%). During a home interview, phy...... hiện toàn bộ

Although a clear risk of mortality is associated with obesity, the risk of mortality associated with overweight is equivocal. The objective of this study is to estimate the relationship between BMI and all‐cause mortality in a nationally representative sample of Canadian adults. A sample of 11,326 respondents aged ≥25 in the 1994/1995 National Population Health Survey (Canada) was studied ...... hiện toàn bộ
