Introduction: Nowadays, many researchers have been focused on complex relationship between urban environment attributes and healthy behaviors as physical activity (PA) and dietary intake. However, there are major gaps in our understanding of the way shifts in the physical and social environments affect changes in dietary intake, physical activity patterns ...
Purpose: To investigate reasons for obesity in city children in China from the point view of energy metabolism balance.
Methods: Fifty seven obesity (group of obesity, GOB) and overweight (group of overweight, GOV) students, averaged 9.6±0.9 years old, were selected from schools according to the BMI screening criterion for Chinese obesity ...
Background: The inter-individual variability in the effectiveness of structured exercise to achieve expected levels of weight loss or maintenance appears to be due in part to individual differences in behavioral responses that increase energy intake; however, the influence of acute exercise on dietary intake following exercise remains incompletely characterized.

Abstract: To explore whether nitrogen retention can differ on an isonitrogenous diet by changing when protein is consumed, we performed a short-term study in older individuals (64.5 ± 2.0 years) performing daily exercise while in energy balance. Participants consumed an isonitrogenous–isocaloric diet with the timing of a protein or carbohydrate beverage after ...
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 The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between sleep (duration and quality) and diet quality among young adult women. Subjects: Three-hundred seventy-five women (18-24 years) were recruited to participate in the study.
Measurement Each participant wore an actigraph for 7 consecutive nights to measure sleep. Sleep logs ...
Purpose To examine the energy balance pathways of diet and physical activity under conditions of acute sleep deprivation in normal-weight and obese women.
Methods In counter-balanced fashion, 22 normal-weight (30.9±9.5 yrs, 22.0±1.6 kg/m2) and 18 obese (29.7±10.7 yrs, 36.4±5.3 kg/m2) women, with a consistent sleep-wake cycle, completed two separate free-living sleep conditions (Condition 1: one ...
Depression is consistently associated with overweight and obesity. Studies have shown that physical activity can prevent and treat depression. Some evidence also suggests nutritional interventions may reduce depression risk, symptoms and severity. However, less is known about whether depressive symptoms are associated with sedentary behavior and poor dietary intake.
Purpose ...
Objective
To examine the cross-sectional relationships between physical activity and dietary behaviors among 8- to 10-year-old African-American girls.
Research Methods and Procedures
Two hundred ten 8- to 10-year-old African-American girls from four field centers participated. Computer Science and Applications (CSA) activity monitors were worn for 3 days. CSA data were expressed ...
