Short sleep has been associated with adolescent obesity. Most studies used a cross-sectional design and modeled BMI categories. We sought to determine if duration was distribution changes from age 14 18.Adolescents were recruited suburban high schools in Philadelphia when entering ninth grade (n = 1390) followed-up every 6 months through 12th grade. Height weight self-reported, BMIs calculated (kg/m(2)). Hours of self-reported. Quantile regression model the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th...
Previous research has examined the association between screen time and average changes in adolescent body mass index (BMI). Until now, no study evaluated longitudinal relationship BMI distribution across mid to late adolescence.Participants (n = 1,336) were adolescents who followed from age 14 18 surveyed every 6 months. Time spent watching television/videos playing video games was self-reported (<1 h day(-1) , 1 2 3 4 or 5+ ). (kg m(-2) ) calculated height weight. Longitudinal quantile...
Increased preference for immediate over delayed rewards and risky certain has been associated with unhealthy behavioral choices. Motivated by evidence that enhanced cognitive control can shift choice behavior away from rewards, we tested whether training executive function could influence brain responses. In this randomized controlled trial, 128 young adults (71 male, 57 female) participated in 10 weeks of either a commercial web-based program or video games do not specifically target adapt...

OBJECTIVES. The objectives of our study were to evaluate whether genetic variation in nicotine metabolic inactivation accounted for the emergence dependence from mid- late adolescence and initial smoking experiences mediated this effect. METHODS. Participants 222 adolescents European ancestry who participated a longitudinal cohort biobehavioral determinants adolescent smoking. Survey data collected annually grade 9 end 12.
