The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is causing substantial morbidity and mortality, straining health care systems, shutting down economies, closing school districts. While it a priority to mitigate its immediate impact, we want call attention the pandemic's longer-term effect on children's health; COVID-19, via these closures, may exacerbate epidemic of childhood obesity increase disparities in risk. In many areas United States, COVID-19 has closed schools, some systems are not...
Policy makers seeking to reduce childhood obesity must prioritize investment in treatment and primary prevention. We estimated the cost-effectiveness of seven interventions high on policy agenda: a sugar-sweetened beverage excise tax; elimination tax subsidy for advertising unhealthy food children; restaurant menu calorie labeling; nutrition standards school meals; all other beverages sold schools; improved early care education; increased access adolescent bariatric surgery. used systematic...
OBJECTIVE. Our goal was to quantify the magnitude of energy imbalance responsible for increase in body weight among US children during periods 1988–1994 and 1999–2002. METHODS. We adopted a counterfactual approach estimate gains excess normal growth implicit “energy gap”—the daily between intake expenditure. On basis Centers Disease Control Prevention charts, we constructed weight, height, BMI percentile distributions cohorts 2 4 5 7 years age National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (N...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Income disparities in US youth academic achievement appear to widen during the summer because of discontinued learning among children from lower‐income households. Little is known about whether behavioral risk factors for childhood obesity, such as diet and physical activity, also demonstrate a widening difference by income when are out school. METHODS Data grades 1‐12 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2003‐2008 (N = 6796) were used estimate screen time,...
This study aimed to examine changes in physical activity among children and adolescents, by race/ethnicity, the United States from 2003-2004 2005-2006.Secondary analysis of objectively measured accelerometer data adolescents 6-19 yr: (n = 1665) 2005-2006 1716) nationally representative National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2006. We estimated regression coefficients for change between two periods age group, accounting sampling design adjusting age, sex, number hours monitored....
Efforts to expand Medicaid while controlling spending must be informed by a deeper understanding of the extent which high medical costs associated with severe obesity (having body mass index 35 kg / m 2 or higher) determine at state level. Our analysis population-representative data indicates that in 2013, cost nation approximately $69 billion, accounted for 60 percent total obesity-related costs. Approximately 11 was paid Medicaid, 30 Medicare and other federal health programs, 27 private...
To evaluate the association of 2009 changes to US Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) food package childhood obesity trends. We hypothesized that change reduced among children participating in WIC, a population has been especially vulnerable epidemic.We used an interrupted time-series design with repeated cross-sectional measurements state-specific prevalence WIC-participating 2- 4-year-old from 2000 2014. multilevel linear regression models estimate...
Objective: To provide state-level estimates of obesity-attributable costs absenteeism among working adults in the United States. Methods: Nationally representative data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 1998 to 2008 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System 2012 are examined. The outcome is workdays missed previous year because health their states. Results: Obesity, but not overweight, associated with a significant increase absent, 1.1 1.7 extra days annually...
Background State-level estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) underestimate obesity epidemic because they use self-reported height weight. We describe a novel bias-correction method produce corrected state-level of severe obesity. Methods Using non-parametric statistical matching, we adjusted data Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2013 (n = 386,795) using measured National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 16,924). validated our...
Sarcopenia, a prevalent muscle disorder in the older adults, is characterized by accelerated loss of mass and function, contributing to increased risks falls, functional decline, mortality. The relationship between dietary oxidative balance score (DOBS) sarcopenia, however, remains unclear. We conducted cross-sectional analysis National Health Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011–2018 cohort, which included 8,240 participants, aged 47.2 ± 17.6 years (48.6% male, 51.4% female)....
Current research on the association between demographic variables and dietary patterns with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is limited in breadth depth. This study aimed to construct a machine learning (ML) algorithm that can accurately transparently establish correlations variables, habits, ASCVD. The dataset used this originates from United States National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (U.S. NHANES) spanning 1999–2018. Five ML models were developed predict ASCVD,...
To examine patterns of sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among U.S. adults with type 2 diabetes in 2003-2006.We analyzed 24-h dietary recall data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2006 to estimate SSB levels 1,090 (aged ≥ 20 years) overall by diagnosis control status their diabetes.In 2003-2006, 45% consumed SSBs on a given day, obtaining an average 202 calories 47 g sugar. Undiagnosed were significantly more likely consume than diagnosed (60 vs. 38%...
Objective To analyze sources of racial and gender disparities in adolescent obesity prevalence the United States using Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition. Methods Data were obtained from National Youth Physical Activity Nutrition Study, a 2010 nationally representative study 9th‐12th grade students. Obesity status was determined objective height weight data; weight‐related behaviors school, home, environmental data collected via questionnaire. decomposition used to independently differences (PD),...
Heterogeneous responses to the same therapy among individual patients are commonplace in both biomedical research and patient care. Despite being considered by many as pinnacle of evidence-based […]
Dimensional change of the graphite assemblies due to irradiation is a key factor in limiting service lifespan reactor core small modular molten salt reactors. The assembly structure, determining fast neutron flux distribution and temperature distribution, has notable impact on its dimensional hence lifespan. In this article, we put forward an innovative solid hexagonal prism (HPA) surrounded by fuel prolong compare it with traditional round channel (RCA) flowing through central channel....
Despite efforts to decrease sugary drink consumption, drinks remain the largest single source of added sugars in diets United States. This study aimed examine trends consumption among adults New York City (NYC) over past decade by key sociodemographic factors. We used data from 2009-2017 NYC Community Health Survey overall, and across different age, gender, racial/ethnic subgroups. conducted a test trend significance change mean time. also multiple zero-inflated negative binomial regression...
