BackgroundObesity and eating disorders commonly co-occur might share common risk factors. Appetite avidity is an established neurobehavioural factor for obesity from early life, but the role of appetite in disorder susceptibility unclear. We aimed to examine longitudinal associations between appetitive traits childhood symptoms adolescence.MethodsIn this cohort study, we used data Generation R (based Rotterdam, Netherlands) Gemini England Wales). Appetitive at age 4–5 years were measured...
Although many cross-sectional studies reported that children with overweight or obesity show more food approaching and less avoidant eating behaviors, there is a lack of replication in longitudinal studies. Therefore, the question remains whether healthcare professionals should target behaviors childhood interventions prevention. We aimed to examine possible bi-directional associations between behavior body composition across childhood. Data was included from 3331 participating Generation R...
Parents' use of food as reward has been linked to children's dietary intake, but the association with eating behaviour and overweight risk is less clear.To examine temporal using behaviour, body mass index (BMI) weight status children.Participants were 3642 children population-based Generation R Study in Netherlands (8.3% overweight/obese). Repeated assessments collected at child ages 4 9 years, including measured anthropometrics parent reports on feeding practises behaviour.Linear...
Physical activity and sedentary behaviors have been linked to a variety of general health benefits problems. However, few studies examined how physical during childhood is related brain development, with the majority work date focusing on cardio-metabolic health. This study examines association between screen time white matter microstructure in pediatric population. In sample 2532 children (10.12 ± 0.58 years; 50.04% boys) from Generation R Study, population-based cohort Rotterdam,...
Abstract Objective Nonresponsive parental feeding practices are associated with poorer appetite self‐regulation in children. It is unknown whether this relationship extends beyond childhood to be prospectively the onset of eating disorder (ED) symptoms adolescence. This exploratory study therefore investigated prospective associations between early and adolescent ED disordered behaviors. Methods Data were from two population‐based cohorts harmonized measures: Generation R (Netherlands; n =...
Abstract Objective Binge eating, loss of control eating and overeating often develop during late childhood or early adolescence. Understanding the presentation binge as symptoms manifest its preceding concurrent factors is essential to hamper development disorders. This study examined prevalence, (e.g. compensatory behaviors, emotional behavioral problems) subclinical in Methods Data from population-based Generation R Study were used (n = 3595). At 10 years 14 years, including body...
Using cross-sectional data from The Maastricht Study, we examined the association of socioeconomic conditions in early life with prediabetes and T2DM adulthood. We also potential mediating pathways via both adulthood adult BMI health behaviours. Of 3263 participants (aged 40–75 years), 493 had 906 were diagnosed T2DM. By using logistic regression analyses, associations possible examined. Participants low a 1.56 times higher odds (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.21-2.02) 1.61 CI 1.31-1.99)....
Eating problems, such as food selectivity or picky eating, are thought to be an epiphenomenon of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Yet eating problems also common in the general pediatric population and overlap with ASD symptoms. However, temporal association between symptoms is poorly understood. This study examines bidirectional across child development, investigates whether these associations differ by sex. Participants (N = 4,930) were from population-based Generation R Study. Parents...
A short sleep duration is associated with a higher obesity risk from midchildhood onward. However, whether in early childhood body composition and cardiometabolic health remains unclear. This study aims to examine the prospective association of infancy at 6 years age.Data were available for 5161 children population-based cohort Netherlands. Sleep was assessed ages 2, 6, 24, 36 months by parental reports. When old, measures (iDXA), blood pressure, insulin, lipid levels collected. Longitudinal...
Objective This study examined the prospective, potentially bidirectional association of aggressive behavior with BMI and body composition across childhood in three population‐based cohorts. Methods Repeated measures aggression were available from Generation R Study between ages 6 10 years ( N = 3,974), Netherlands Twin Register (NTR) 7 10,328), Swedish Child Adolescent Development (TCHAD) 9 14 1,462). In all samples, was assessed Behavior Checklist. Fat mass fat‐free Study. Associations...
Background: Psychological distress during pregnancy may influence offspring adiposity. No studies assessed the associations with organ fat measures. We examined of maternal psychological distress, depression, and anxiety child general Methods: In 4161 mother–offspring pairs, was self-reported in pregnancy. obtained measures, including BMI mass index by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, measures (in a subsample 2447 children), subcutaneous, visceral, pericardial indices liver fraction...
Background: Short sleep duration in childhood has often been linked with obesity later or adolescence. However, whether infant affects body composition trajectories and cardiovascular health through to mid-adolescence remains unknown. Methods: Participants were 336 adolescents from a community-based prospective birth cohort Melbourne, Australia. Mothers completed 24-hour time diaries, including 5-minute intervals at ages 2, 4, 12 months. BMI outcomes measured 6-monthly between 4 6.5 years 10...
Poor mental health in childhood is associated with a greater risk of cardiometabolic disease adulthood, but less known about when these associations begin to emerge. This study tests whether poor (indexed by emotional and behavioral problems) early predicts increases dysregulation over 4 years follow-up.Data are from 4327 participants the Generation R Study. Problem behaviors were reported mothers using Child Behavior Checklist at age 6 years. Repeated measurements six parameters collected...
Celiac disease (CeD) is associated with psychopathology in children. It unknown whether this association present children celiac autoimmunity (CDA) identified by screening. We examined the associations between subclinical CDA and emotional behavioral problems without previous CeD diagnosis.In a population-based cohort study of 3715 (median age: 6 years), blood titers tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies were analyzed. was defined as measurement ≥7 U/mL (n = 51). Children diagnosis or on...
We all eat too many of our favorite snacks from time to time, but when does that become harmful? Eating lots uncontrollably, which is called binge eating, may cause feelings shame afterwards. Binge eating involves both a lot within short and not being able stop although you want to. result in disorders, often develop adolescence. Are some symptoms more common than others? Why do teenagers them while others not? discovered 12.6% experienced symptoms, with loss-of-control the most symptom....
Abstract While studies suggest potential influences of childhood adversities on obesity development in adulthood, less is known about the short-term association children. We examined between a wide range life events experienced first ten years (including maltreatment and milder adversities) body composition 5333 ten-year old Dutch In structured interviews, mothers retrospectively reported their children’s experience 24 events. BMI was calculated, fat mass index free were determined by...
