BACKGROUND
The high prevalence of childhood obesity is a concern for policy makers and health professionals, leading to a focus on early prevention. The beliefs and perspectives of parents about early childhood obesity, and their views and opinions about the need for weight management interventions
Background: We investigated to what extent social inequalities in childhood obesity could be reduced by eliminating differences in screen media exposure.
Methods: We used
BACKGROUND
Gestational weight gain is a modifiable risk factor for childhood overweight.
CONCLUSIONS
Exceeding the recommended gestational weight gain increases the risk for childhood overweight by about 30%. Interventions to avoid excessive weight gain are needed.
BACKGROUND
Overweight and obesity
Childhood obesity is a serious public health challenge and schools have been identified as an ideal place to implement prevention interventions. The aim of this study was to measure the cost-effectiveness of a multi-faceted school-based obesity prevention intervention targeting BACKGROUND
Child obesity is a growing public health concern. Excess weight in childhood is known to be associated with a high risk of obesity and obesity-related comorbidities in adulthood.
OBJECTIVE
This study quantifies lifetime excess costs of overweight and obese adults in Germany taking the
BACKGROUND
Childhood obesity prevalence has tripled over the last three decades. Pediatric obesity has important implications for both adult health as well as the United States economy. In order to combat pediatric obesity, exploratory studies are necessary to create effective interventions.
There is now considerable evidence that a constitutional susceptibility to fat gain is necessary for children to become obese under the pressure of an obesogenic environment; this is the programming towards obesity. The role of genetics in this programming is dominant. Besides the rare monogenic

METHODS
Cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of the IDEFICS (Identification and prevention of dietary- and lifestyle-induced health effects in children and infants) study cohort.

BACKGROUND
Progranulin is an adipokine that is involved in the inflammatory response, glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, and may therefore be involved in chronic subclinical inflammation associated with the pathogenesis of childhood obesity. We aimed to investigate the association of
Obesity is characterized by the abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health and extensive increase in body mass index (BMI). Childhood obesity may occur due to disturbances in metabolic regulation, which lead to metabolic syndrome and other diseases. Peripheral blood suspended
UNASSIGNED
Childhood obesity is associated with progressive vascular dysfunction as manifest by arterial stiffness and elevated blood pressure with associated subsequent morbidity and mortality because of early cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction and stroke in adulthood.
