Association analysis of FTO gene polymorphisms rs9939609 and obesity risk among the adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2021, Meta GeneCitation Excerpt :It is widespread in both genders and all ages individuals, as well as in socio-economic strata and ethnic cohort. The overall of overweight people is projected to have exceeded more than 1.1 billion globally, involving 312 million obese people, and that approximately 10% of adolescents have overweight or obese (Hossain et al., 2007; Reilly, 2005). Genetics, behavioral and environmental influences are among the most significant variables linked to the incidence of obesity (Doaei et al., 2020).
Effect of choice of outcome measure on studies of the etiology of obesity in children
2012, Annals of EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Habitual levels of physical activity and sedentary behavior may influence adiposity in children and adolescents [1–5], but evidence is limited [4–6].
Physical activity, sedentary behavior, and adiposity in english children
2012, American Journal of Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :SES was described using the Townsend score, an area-based measure derived from the UK census in 2001 derived from the percentage of unemployed people aged 16–65 years; household overcrowding; not owning a home; and not owning a car. The primary outcome measure was change in fat mass index (fat mass [kg]/height [m]2). Fat mass was estimated from TANITA bioelectric impedance by applying constants for the hydration of fat-free mass,28 having first estimated total body water using gender- and age-specific prediction equations from Haroun et al.29 The secondary outcome measure was change in BMI Z-score.
Critical determinants of hypothalamic appetitive neuropeptide development and expression: Species considerations
2010, Frontiers in NeuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Many risk factors have been identified for childhood obesity. These include parental obesity, higher birth weight, higher weight gain during the first year and short sleep duration at age 3, neonatal adiposity rebound due to low weight or weight gain at birth, more than 8 h of television per week at age three, and presence of catch-up growth phases [171–173]. Maternal undernutrition during pregnancy, maternal obesity during pregnancy, low-birth weight and high birth weight all appear to predispose individuals to obesity and type 2 diabetes later in life [210].
Compliance with the Australian national physical activity guidelines for children: Relationship to overweight status
2007, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :If this under-representation had any effect on validity of the associations observed, we would expect it to bias them towards the null, although we believe it unlikely that participation was linked with both body size and guideline compliance. The Australian physical activity guidelines for children are in accordance with international recommendations,30 however the minimal amount of daily physical activity necessary for optimal health has not been definitively determined and adherence to the recommendations is uncertain.1 The current study lends support to the guidelines, particularly the electronic media use recommendation, and indicates population characteristics of children who fail to comply.
