BACKGROUND In a 2-y intervention targeting increased physical activity and healthy eating in primary school children, the adjusted body mass index (BMI) z score was 0.26 units (95% CI: 0.21, 0.32) lower in intervention than in control children. Few obesity prevention initiatives in children have undertaken follow-up analyses. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine whether differences in BMI...

BACKGROUND Previous analysis in a prospective, population-based cohort reported reduced weight gain in children fed extensively hydrolyzed casein (eHF-C) formula during the first year of life but showed no effect on growth between 1 and 6 y of life. No studies have been conducted in children up to the age of 10 y. OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate potential differences in body mass i...

Introducing the notation Xt := exp(itP),Ys := exp(isQ),Zr := exp(ir)I we can bring this into the form XtYs = ZstYsXt . Furthermore, we have the one-parameter group property Xt1+t2 = Xt1Xt2 (and similarly for Y and Z) and that Z commutes with X and Y . We observe that these relations still make sense when the parameters are elements of an arbitrary commutative ring. †currently visiting the Dept....

OBJECTIVES It is unclear whether sedentary behaviour, and the domain in which it occurs, is related to body mass index (BMI) change. We aim to elucidate whether sedentary behaviour is prospectively related to BMI change using markers from three domains (leisure, work and commuting). METHODS Among employed 1958 British birth cohort members (n = 6,562), we analysed whether TV-viewing, work sitt...

1 Motivation We want to numerically approximate coefficients in a Fourier series. The first step is to see how the trapezoidal rule applies when numerically computing the integral (2π) −1 2π 0 F (t)dt, where F (t) is a continuous, 2π-periodic function. Applying the trapezoidal rule with the stepsize taken to be h = 2π/n for some integer n ≥ 1 results in (2π) −1 2π 0 F (t)dt ≈ 1 n n−1 j=0 Y j , ...

Background: A formula low-energy diet (LED) reduces weight effectively in obese patients with knee osteoarthritis, but the role of LED in long-term weight-loss maintenance is unclear.Objective: We aimed to determine the effect of intermittent LED compared with daily meal replacements on weight-loss maintenance and number of knee replacements over 3 y.Design: The design was a randomized trial wi...

OBJECTIVE Sonographic estimated fetal weight (EFW) is important in the management of high-risk pregnancies. The possibility that increased maternal body mass index (BMI) adversely affects EFW assessments in twin pregnancies is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of maternal BMI on the accuracy of EFW assessments in twin gestations prospectively recruited for the E...

conclusions in the newly set up center similar to the older one, surgical treatment in our follow up duration was effective for reducing weight, body mass index reduction and achievement of success in biochemical markers on diabetics. results during follow up time after 276 days mean weight decreased from 118.7 ± 23.3 to 82.9 ± 15.7, p < 0.001 bmi also changed from 45.2 ± 1.8 to 32.2 ± 1.3, p <...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the long-term health consequences of following the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA; Washington, DC: US Government Printing Office, 2005). OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine the longitudinal association between diets consistent with the 2005 DGA and subsequent weight gain. DESIGN We used data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young A...
