SummaryWhat is already known about this subject Children from low socioeconomic
households are at greater risk of obesity. Children predominantly breastfed have

Timing of puberty and physical growth in obese children: a longitudinal study in boys and girls Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 292-299 - 2014
Cosimo Giannini, M. Loredana Marcovecchio, Valentina Chiavaroli, Tommaso de Giorgis, Francesco Chiarelli, Angelika Mohn
SummaryWhat is already known about this subject There is emerging evidence
suggesting that childhood obesity may influence the timing/tempo of puberty and
growth patterns. An earlier onset of puberty generally occurs in obese girls,
whereas conflicting data are available for boys. Obese children tend to be
taller during pre‐puberty but lose this growth advantage during puberty. What

gradient. Ambiguous results have been obtained regarding the association between
socioeconomic factors ... hiện toàn bộ
Identification of distinct body mass index trajectories in Australian children Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 189-198 - 2013

SummaryWhat is already known about this subject Recent studies have identified
distinct trajectories of obesity development in children, but more research is
required to further explore these trajectories. Several socio‐demographic
variables such as parental education and obesity are associated with these
trajectories. What this study adds This study further demonstrates that there
are distinct tr... hiện toàn bộ

total energy expenditure was not detected in summer. ObjectiveRecent data report
that the youth experience greater weight gain during summer than during school

BMI z‐score (BMIz) and change in BMIz in a sample of
schoolchildren.MethodsEating frequency, the average number of reported daily
eating occasions, was assessed usin... hiện toàn bộ
