Between the 1960s and 2000 the distribution of BMI among children became more skewed, whereas between 2000 and 2010 there was relatively little change among either boys or g...
متن کاملModelling BMI Trajectories in Children for Genetic Association Studies
BACKGROUND The timing of associations between common genetic variants and changes in growth patterns over childhood may provide insight into the development of obesity in later life. To address this question, it is important to define appropriate statistical models to allow for the detection of genetic effects influencing longitudinal childhood growth. METHODS AND RESULTS Children from The We...
متن کاملParental nonstandard work schedules during infancy and children’s BMI trajectories
BACKGROUND Empirical evidence has demonstrated adverse associations between parental nonstandard work schedules (i.e., evenings, nights, or weekends) and child developmental outcomes. However, there are mixed findings concerning the relationship between parental nonstandard employment and children’s body mass index (BMI), and few studies have incorporated information on paternal work schedules....
متن کاملBehavioural patterns only predict concurrent BMI status and not BMI trajectories in a sample of youth in Ontario, Canada

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of engaging in unique clusters of unhealthy behaviours on youths' body mass index (BMI) trajectories. METHODS This study used a linked-longitudinal sample of Grades 9 and 10 students (13 to 17 years of age...
