Sarcopenia is an important indicator of ill health and linked to increased mortality a reduced quality life. Age-associated muscle mass indices provide critical tool help understand the development sarcopenia. This study aimed develop sex- age-specific percentiles for in Chinese population compare those with from other ethnicities using National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data.

Objective This study aimed to examine the associations of overweight and obesity (ov/ob) changes in weight status with academic performance among Chinese adolescents. Methods Self‐reported height were collected from adolescents ( n = 10,279) each year seventh grade (baseline, 2013‐2014) ninth (2015‐2016). Academic included standardized scores on math, Chinese, English examinations responses a school‐life experience scale. Results All ov/ob had lower than their counterparts without (β −0.46...

The associations between children’s pocket money and their eating behaviors weight status have not been examined using longitudinal data in China. Examined child parental factors associated with money, effects of on status. Data were collected 2015, 2016, 2017 from 3261 school-age children parents mega-cities across China (Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Xi’an, Chengdu). Children’s weight, height, waist circumference measured; self-reported. Mixed effect models used. Older received more than...

Objective To evaluate the prevalence of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia among different body composition investigate associations indicators, especially muscle mass, with glucose lipids metabolism in children adolescents. Methods This nationwide cross-sectional study included 8,905 adolescents aged 6 to 18 years. All participants underwent dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry their blood-concentrated (including TC, TG, LDL-C HDL-c) were measured. Mixed model, hierarchical analysis, piecewise...

The fat mass- and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is significantly associated with obesity, but the associations of FTO obesity-related traits are not fully described. We aimed to investigate association single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs6499640 lipid levels in Chinese children. A total 3503 children aged 6-18 years were included present study. Lipid analyzed SNP was genotyped using TaqMan Allelic Discrimination Assay. Statistically significant found between low-density lipoprotein...

Objective Heredity has a remarkable effect on obesity in an obesogenic environment. Despite the numerous genetic variants that contribute to obesity‐related traits, none been identified Chinese children. This study aimed identify novel associated with childhood China. Methods Promising single‐nucleotide were obtained using whole‐exome sequencing from 76 children who had and 74 normal weight, their associations traits additional 6,334‐child cohort investigated. The effects of genome‐wide...

Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with childhood obesity, but the underlying factors remain unknown. This study aimed to identify mediators that may explain SES disparities in obesity China. Nationally representative longitudinal data from China Education Panel Survey of 11 019 children (13.03 ± 0.79) collected 2013‒2014 2016‒2017 academic years. Overweight/obesity was defined using Chinese national body mass index cut-points. Principal component analysis used convert four indicators...

Purpose . Genome-wide association studies have found two obesity-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs17782313 near the melanocortin-4 receptor ( MC4R ) gene and rs6265 brain-derived neurotrophic factor BDNF gene, but associations of both SNPs with other traits are not fully described, especially in children. The aim present study is to investigate between adiponectin that has a regulatory role glucose lipid metabolism. Methods We examined Beijing Child Adolescent Metabolic...
