Obesity as a risk factor for developing functional limitation among older adults: A conditional inference tree analysisObesity - Tập 25 Số 7 - Trang 1263-1269 - 2017
Feon W. Cheng, Xiang Gao, Le Bao, Diane C. Mitchell, Craig Wood, Martin J. Sliwinski, Helen Smiciklas‐Wright, Christopher D. Still, David D.K. Rolston, Gordon L. Jensen
ObjectiveTo examine the risk factors of developing functional decline and make
probabilistic predictions by using a tree‐based method that allows higher order
polynomials and interactions of the risk factors.MethodsThe conditional
inference tree analysis, a data mining approach, was used to construct a risk
stratification algorithm for developing functional limitation based on BMI and
other potent... hiện toàn bộ
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
Karen E. Foster‐Schubert, Catherine M. Alfano, Catherine Duggan, Liren Xiao, Kristin L. Campbell, Angela Kong, Carolyn Bain, Ching‐Yun Wang, George L. Blackburn, Anne McTiernan
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 effects of a ... hiện toàn bộ
Protein source in a high‐protein diet modulates reductions in insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis in fa/fa Zucker ratsObesity - Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 123-131 - 2016

ObjectiveHigh‐protein diets are being promoted to reduce insulin resistance and
hepatic steatosis in metabolic syndrome. Therefore, the effect of protein source
in high‐protein diets on reducing insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis was
examined.MethodsFa/fa Zucker rats were provided normal‐protein (15% of energy)
casein, high‐protein (35% of energy) casein, high‐protein soy, or high‐protein

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 Survey
(NHI... hiện toàn bộ
Weight Status, Quality of Life, and Self‐concept in African American, Hispanic, and White Fifth‐grade ChildrenObesity - Tập 17 Số 7 - Trang 1363-1368 - 2009
Jan L. Wallander, Wendell C. Taylor, Branko Grünbaum, Frank A. Franklin, Gail G. Harrison, Steven H. Kelder, Mark A. Schuster
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,
physical an... hiện toàn bộ
BMI and Mortality: Results From a National Longitudinal Study of Canadian AdultsObesity - Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 214-218 - 2010
Heather Orpana, Jean‐Marie Berthelot, Mark S. Kaplan, David Feeny, Bentson H. McFarland, Nancy A. Ross
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 using Co... hiện toàn bộ
Work, Weight, and Wellness: The 3W Program: A Worksite Obesity Prevention and Intervention TrialObesity - Tập 15 Số S1 - 2007

AbstractObjective: In this paper, we describe the aims, intervention, and design
of the Work, Weight, and Wellness program, a group‐randomized worksite obesity
prevention and intervention trial being conducted at 31 hotels with 11,559
employees on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. We report baseline prevalence of
overweight and obesity, and the distribution of BMI (kilograms per meter
squared) across ... hiện toàn bộ
Longitudinal body composition of children born to mothers with normal weight, overweight, and obesityObesity - Tập 23 Số 6 - Trang 1252-1258 - 2015

ObjectiveThe longitudinal trajectories of body composition of children born to
mothers with normal weight, overweight, and obesity have not been evaluated
using precise body composition methods. This study investigated the relationship
between maternal prepregnancy BMI and offspring body composition trajectories
during the first 6 years of life.MethodsHealthy infants (N = 325) were assessed

ObjectiveOn December 8–9, 2014, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center
convened a scientific symposium to review the state‐of‐the‐science and future
directions for the study of developmental programming of obesity and chronic
disease. The objectives of the symposium were to discuss: (i) past and current
scientific advances in animal models, population‐based cohort studies, and human
clinical tr... hiện toàn bộ
