Type 1 fimbriae are adhesion organelles expressed by many Gram-negative bacteria. They facilitate adherence to mucosal surfaces and inflammatory cells in vitro, but their contribution virulence has not been defined. This study presents evidence that type increase the of Escherichia coli for urinary tract promoting bacterial persistence enhancing response infection. In a clinical study, we observed disease severity was greater children infected with E. O1:K1:H7 isolates expressing than those...
To estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) using reference standards obtained in European children and to develop a quantitative MetS score describe its distribution children. Population-based survey eight countries, including 18745 2.0 10.9 years, recruited during second survey. Anthropometry (weight, height waist circumference), blood pressure serum-fasting triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, glucose insulin were measured. We applied three widely accepted definitions pediatric we...
A retrospective population‐based study was performed to describe the incidence rate of first time symptomatic urinary tract infection in children under 6 y age. total number 299 identified during 20‐month period a population 20 000 girls and 21 boys. The cumulative 6y life 6.6% for 1.8% annual infection/1000 at risk between 9 14 each six 1‐y age intervals. In girls, proportion febrile high infant year, while older than 2 most often had non‐febrile infection. For boys, were comparable that...

Aim : To assess the possible protective effect of exclusive breastfeeding against first‐time febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) in children. Methods Two children's hospitals and local child health centres Göteborg area, Sweden, participated a prospective case‐control study. In total, 200 consecutive cases (89M, 11 1F), aged 0–6 y, presenting with UTI were enrolled. The mean ± SD age was 0.98 1.15y. As control subjects, 336 children (147M, 189F) recruited from centre case, matched for...
Abstract Aim: To assess the recent prevalence of overweight and obesity in 10 year old children Göteborg, Sweden. Methods: Cross‐sectional data on weight height from school health examinations, including fourth grade children, born 1974 (n = 4126), 1990 4683) 1994 4193) measured academic years 1984/1985, 2000/2001 2004/2005, were used. Weight classification was based age‐ sex‐specific body mass index cutoff values. The two latest cohorts classified according to socio‐economic areas. Results:...
The aim of this study is to present age- and sex-specific reference values insulin, glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) the homeostasis model assessment quantify insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) for pre-pubertal children. population consists 7074 normal weight 3- 10.9-year-old children from eight European countries who participated in at least one wave IDEFICS ('identification prevention dietary- lifestyle-induced health effects infants') surveys (2007–2010) whom standardised laboratory...
To characterise the nutritional status in children with obesity or wasting conditions, European anthropometric reference values for body composition measures beyond mass index (BMI) are needed. Differentiated assessment of has long been hampered by lack appropriate references.The aim our study is to provide percentiles indices normal weight children, based on IDEFICS cohort (Identification and prevention Dietary- lifestyle-induced health Effects Children infantS).Overall 18,745...

Abstract Objective: Fatty acid (FA) composition has a role in adipogenesis. The objective was to study serum phospholipid (PL) FAs adolescents and their relation abdominal adipose tissue (AT) compartments metabolic markers. Research Methods Procedures: Abdominal AT measured by magnetic resonance imaging FA pattern determined PL of 10 obese (5 females), median age 12.0 years (range, 10.4 16.4) BMI 30.7 (26.8 40.4), 15 lean control subjects (9 12.6 11.3 15.4), 19.5 (17.1 23.4). Results: Obese...
To compare nocturnal sleep duration in children from 8 European countries and identify its determinants. Cross-sectional. Primary schools preschools participating the IDEFICS study. 8,542 aged 2 to 9 years with complete information on duration. Not applicable. Nocturnal was assessed by means of a computer based parental 24-h recall. Data personal, social, environmental, behavioral factors were collected standardized questionnaire. Physical activity surveyed accelerometers. ranged 9.5 h (SD...

The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased during the past decades and is now considered an urgent public health problem. Although stabilizing trends in have been identified parts Europe, preventive efforts children are still needed. Using socio-ecological approach as underlying theoretical perspective, IDEFICS project aimed to develop, implement evaluate a community-based intervention for prevention eight European countries. aim present manuscript was describe content developmental...
This study investigates prospective associations of anthropometrical and lifestyle indices with insulin resistance (IR) in European children from the IDEFICS cohort. Insulin is a growing concern childhood obesity central aspect metabolic syndrome (MS). It most likely represents link between type 2 diabetes. longitudinal included 3348 preadolescent aged 3 to 10.9 years 8 countries who were observed 2007/2008 2009/2010.

To provide oscillometric blood pressure (BP) reference values in European non-overweight school children. Cross-sectional analysis from the IDEFICS study ( www.ideficsstudy.eu ) database. Standardised BP and anthropometric measures were obtained children aged 2 to 10.9 years, participating 2007–2008 2009–2010 surveys. Age- height-specific systolic diastolic percentiles calculated by GAMLSS, separately for boys girls, both entire population (n=16 937) only (n=13 547). The robustness of models...
Urine and serum interleukin (IL)-6 IL-8responseswere higher in children with febrile urinary tract infection (n = 61) than those asymptomatic bacteriuria 39). By univariate analysis, cytokine levels were related to age, sex, reflux, renal scarring, urine leukocytes, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), bacterial properties (P fimbriae but not hemolysin). Multivariate modeling showed that IL-6 responseswere girls boys, increased positively associated CRP, ESR, IL-6,...
Bariatric surgery is suggested as a treatment option for severely obese adolescents. Because adolescence characterized by intense psychosocial adjustment and development, it important to study the effect of this procedure on adolescents' psychological health. This examined baseline status short-term changes in anxiety, depression, anger, disruptive behavior, self-concept 37 adolescents (mean age 16.6 ± 1.3). Participants completed Beck Youth Inventories (BYI) at inclusion (on average) 4...
