Background Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is linked to weight gain and metabolic syndrome (MetS) components in children, but whether these associations are modified by excess weight and glucose tolerance status in children is not known.
Objective The objective of this study was to examine the cross-sectional associations between SSB intake ...
Objective To describe the associations among moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), fitness, sedentary behavior (SB), and insulin sensitivity (IS).
Research Designs & Methods Data were drawn from the baseline assessment of the QUALITY cohort, which included 630 white youth (aged 8–10 years at recruitment), with at least one obese biological parent. IS was ...
Physical activity can benefit the health of youth with Type 1 diabetes. Despite the
benefits some studies have found patients do not always meet the physical activity
recommendation of 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per
day. Physical activity and sedentary behaviour have not been measured previously in
Scottish youth with ...
OBJECTIVE: With the rise of type 2 diabetes in youth, it is critical to investigate factors such as physical activity (PA) and time spent sedentary that may be contributing to this public health problem. This article describes PA and sedentary time in a large cohort of youth with type 2 diabetes and ...
Background This study examined the independent association of objectively measured physical activity on insulin resistance while controlling for confounding variables including: cardiorespiratory fitness, adiposity, sex, age, and smoking status.
Methods Data were obtained from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003–2004, a cross-sectional observational study conducted by the National Center for ...
Introduction
physical activity (PA) is perceived to be a key determinant of childhood adiposity. This study objectively characterizes the daily PA of 7-year-olds and relates it to waking time, intensity, UK recommendations and body fat.
Methods and Participants
MTI-Actigraph accelerometers were worn by 129 (88) healthy boys (girls) for seven days. Calibration ...
Introduction
There is much interest in children’s physical activity (PA), but little understanding of its control. The evidence that total activity levels could be increased by the provision of greater opportunity for physical activity is lacking.
Methods and Participants
MTI-Actigraph accelerometers recorded weekly PA in two groups of healthy ...
Objective The objective of the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) Study is to clarify unanswered questions on associations of maternal glycemia, less severe than overt diabetes mellitus, with risks of adverse pregnancy outcome. This report describes the background and design of the HAPO Study. Methods HAPO is a 5-year ...
