There is a lack of common surveillance systems providing comparable figures and temporal trends the prevalence overweight (OW), obesity related risk factors among European preschool school children. Comparability available data limited in terms sampling design, methodological approaches quality assurance. The IDEFICS (Identification prevention Dietary- lifestyle-induced health Effects Children infantS) study provides one largest sets young children based on state-of-the-art methodology. To...
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...
Background To know how moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time change across lifespan periods is needed for designing successful lifestyle interventions. We aimed to study changes in objectively measured (accelerometry) MVPA from childhood adolescence young adulthood. Methods Estonian Swedish participants the European Youth Heart Study aged 9 15 years at baseline (N = 2312) were asked participate a second examination 6 (Sweden) 9/10 (Estonia) later. 1800 with valid...
To provide sex- and age-specific percentile values for levels of physical activity (PA) sedentary time European children aged 2.0–10.9 years from eight countries (Sweden, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Cyprus, Spain, Belgium Estonia). Free-living PA were objectively assessed using ActiGraph GT1M or ActiTrainer monitors in all who had at least 3 days' worth valid accelerometer data, with 8 h recording each day. The General Additive Model Location Scale Shape was used calculating curves. Reference...
Identifying associations between preschool-aged children's electronic media use and their later well-being is essential to supporting positive long-term outcomes.To investigate possible dose-response of young with well-being.The IDEFICS (Identification Prevention Dietary- Lifestyle-Induced Health Effects in Children Infants) study a prospective cohort an intervention component. Data were collected at baseline from September 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008, follow-up 2009, May 31, 2010, 8...
Aims: The purpose was to describe the patterns of commuting school in young people and examine its associations with physical activity (PA) cardiorespiratory fitness. Methods: sample comprised 2271 Estonian Swedish children adolescents (1218 females) aged 9—10 years 15—16 years. Data were collected 1998/99. Mode from assessed by questionnaire. Time spent (min/day) PA average (counts/min) measured accelerometry. Cardiorespiratory fitness means a maximal cycle ergometer test. 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...
Cohort Profile : The transition from childhood to adolescence in European children-how I.Family extends the IDEFICS cohort
What is already known about this subject Overweight and obesity can be linked to different parental socioeconomic factors in very young children. In Western developed countries, the association of childhood overweight status shows a negative gradient. Ambiguous results have been obtained regarding between countries over time. study adds European regions show heterogeneous associations multi-centre with highly standardized protocol. The strength SES varies across regions. our study, gradient...
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...
Dietary assessment is strongly affected by misreporting (both under- and over-reporting), which results in measurement error. Knowledge about essential to correctly interpret potentially biased associations between diet health outcomes. In young children, dietary data mainly rely on proxy respondents but little known determinants of here. The present analysis was conducted within the framework multi-centre IDEFICS (Identification prevention dietary- lifestyle-induced effects children...
The aim of this study was to determine whether an association exists between children’s and parental dietary patterns (DP), the number shared meals or soft drink availability during strengthens association. In 2013/2014 I.Family cross‐sectionally assessed intakes families from eight European countries using 24‐h recalls. Usual energy food six‐ 16‐year‐old children their parents were estimated based on NCI Method. A total 1662 child–mother 789 child–father dyads included; DP derived cluster...
Background The early life course is assumed to be a critical phase for childhood obesity; however the significance of single factors and their interplay not well studied in populations. Objectives investigation pre-, peri- postpartum risk on obesity at age 2 9. Methods A case-control study with 1,024 1∶1-matched pairs was nested baseline survey (09/2007–05/2008) IDEFICS study, population-based intervention carried out 8 European countries pre- primary school settings. Conditional logistic...
To compare, specifically by age group, proxy-reported food group estimates obtained from the frequency section of Children's Eating Habits questionnaire (CEHQ-FFQ) against two non-consecutive 24 h dietary recalls (24-HDR).Estimates intakes assessed via forty-three-food-group CEHQ-FFQ were compared with those a computerized 24-HDR. Agreement on frequencies (equal to number portions per recall period) between instruments was examined using crude and de-attenuated Pearson's correlation...
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...
Purpose: Information about factors related to overweight development in early stages of life is needed for designing useful strategies prevent and diseases. Longitudinal studies can contribute this goal. The present study aimed identify childhood that determine the overweight/obesity adolescence. Methods: A prospective 598 normal-weight Estonian Swedish children age 9.5 ± 0.4 yr from European Youth Heart Study, who were followed during 6 yr, was conducted. Weight height measured at baseline...

Design Data from baseline IDEFICS (Identification prevention dietary- lifestyle-induced health effects children infants) cross-sectional survey. Information on hours television/digital video disk/video viewing computer/games-console use (weekday weekend days), device space, sports club...
