Aims School health care offers a natural setting for childhood obesity interventions. Earlier studies reveal inadequate screening and treatment in primary care. However, longitudinal unselected populations are lacking. We aimed to examine how school nurses physicians identified obesity, diagnosed it offered interventions over school. compared the results with Finnish recommendations. Methods From our cohort of 2000 sixth graders (aged 12–14), 172 were obese at least once during manually...
School health care is crucial for obesity prevention. Data on constancy of childhood are still scarce, but highly necessary risk evaluation. We examined from electronic records (EHRs) the continuity during primary school and searched social behavioural characteristics associated with obesity. From randomly selected 2000 Finnish sixth graders (aged 12–14), we identified 402 'ever overweight' 172 obese' children who were overweight or obese at least once since their first grade. These cohort...
Abstract Two studies were conducted to investigate the role of meat and arachidonic acid in colonie signal transduction, particularly protein kinase C (PKC) activation. In Study 1, 26 male Wistar rats fed a casein‐ or beef‐based diet for four weeks. PKC activity was measured from proximal distal mucosa diacylglycerol concentration fecal samples. The beef significantly increased membrane colon cytosolic colon. No differences found maintained on two diets. 2, 57 divided into three dietary...
For targeted prevention and treatment of childhood obesity, primary health care needs methods to identify children potentially developing obesity. The objectives this study were examine transitions across weight categories their association with psychosocial family- school-related factors, data on which retrieved from records. This longitudinal cohort comprised 507 Finnish overweight, identified a random sample 2000 sixth graders in Helsinki 2013. We applied Markov multistate models analyze...
We aimed to identify groups of primary school children with similar overweight development, reveal age-related patterns development in the resulting and analyse overweight-related healthcare interventions.This retrospective longitudinal register study utilised electronic health records from six years. From a random sample 2000 sixth graders, we derived cohort 508 meeting criteria for at least once during school. investigated how many different (latent classes) weight would emerge by applying...
