Prehypertension is considered a precursor of stage 1 hypertension and predictor excessive cardiovascular risk. We investigated whether pharmacologic treatment prehypertension prevents or postpones hypertension.
The goal was to determine the relationship between 4 parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful) overweight status in first grade.Data from National Institute of Child Health Human Development Study Early Care Youth were analyzed. Children with complete data for parameters at 54 months measured weight height grade included analysis. Overweight defined as BMI > or =95th percentile. constructed 2 scales, namely, maternal sensitivity expectations child...
Fine particulate matter air pollution plus ozone impairs vascular function and raises diastolic blood pressure. We aimed to determine the mechanism pollutant responsible. The effects of on heart rate variability, pressure, biomarkers, brachial flow-mediated dilatation were determined in 2 randomized, double-blind, crossover studies. In Ann Arbor, 50 subjects exposed fine particles (150 μg/m 3 ) (120 parts per billion) for hours occasions with pretreatments an endothelin antagonist (Bosentan,...
We sought to examine the association between weight status in early childhood and onset of puberty.The study included 354 girls from National Institute Child Health Human Development Study Early Care Youth Development. Girls were followed longitudinally with height measurements at 36 54 months grades 1, 4, 5, 6 assessment pubertal stage by physical examination maternal report 4 through 6. The main outcome was presence puberty, indexed as follows: (a) breast development or more than Tanner 2...
Objective The relationship between adipose tissue fibrosis, adipocyte hypertrophy, and preadipocyte hyperplasia in the context of obesity correlation these tissue‐based phenomena with systemic metabolic disease are poorly defined. goal this study was to clarify human determine adipose‐tissue based diabetes. Methods Visceral subcutaneous tissues from humans collected during bariatric surgery were studied QRTPCR, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry for expression collagens fibrosis‐related...
Iron deficiency in infancy negatively impacts a variety of neurodevelopmental processes at the time nutrient insufficiency, with persistent central nervous system alterations and deficits behavioral functioning, despite iron therapy. In rodent models, early impairs hippocampus dopamine system. We examined possibility that young adults who had experienced chronic, severe, as infants would exhibit on neurocognitive tests documented frontostriatal (Trail Making Test, Intra-/Extra-dimensional...
Childhood obesity and bullying both are pervasive public health problems. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between childhood being bullied in third, fifth, sixth grades while testing for potential confounding moderation.A total 821 children who were participating Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute Child Health Human Development Study Early Care Youth (50% male, 81% white, 17% obese, 15% overweight third grade) studied. Generalized estimating equations used...
To determine if limited ability to delay gratification (ATDG) at age 4 years is independently associated with an increased risk of being overweight 11 and assess confounding or moderation by child body mass index z score years, self-reported maternal expectation ATDG for food, weight status.Longitudinal prospective study.Ten US sites.Participants in the National Institute Child Health Human Development Study Early Care Youth Development. Main Exposure Ability measured as pass fail on a...

This randomized clinical trial evaluated the long-term impact of an interactive seminar for physicians based on principles self-regulation clinician behaviour, children9s use health services asthma, and parent9s views physician performance. Seventy-four general practice paediatricians, 637 their asthma patients aged 1-12 yrs, were to treatment or control. Children parents blind physicians9 participation. Data collected at baseline follow-up through self-administered surveys (paediatricians),...
<h3>Objective</h3> To examine the association between body mass index (BMI [calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height meters squared]) and timing of pubertal onset a population-based sample US boys. <h3>Design</h3> Longitudinal prospective study. <h3>Setting</h3> Ten sites that participated National Institute Child Health Human Development Study Early Care Youth Development. <h3>Participants</h3> Of 705 boys initially enrolled study, information about measures stage age 11.5 years...
OBJECTIVE. We evaluated the effectiveness of a continuing medical education program, Physician Asthma Care Education, in improving pediatricians’ asthma therapeutic and communication skills patients’ health care utilization for asthma. METHODS. conducted randomized trial 10 regions United States. Primary providers were recruited randomly assigned by site to receive program provided local faculty. The included 2 interactive seminar sessions (2.5 hours each) that reviewed national guidelines,...
Studies of the relationship weight status with timing puberty in boys have been mixed. This study examined whether overweight and obesity are associated differences US boys.We reanalyzed recent community-based pubertal data from American Academy Pediatrics' Pediatric Research Office Settings which trained clinicians assessed 6 to 16 years for height, weight, Tanner stages, testicular volume (TV), other variables. We classified children based on BMI as normal overweight, or obese compared...
Although there has been much debate over the content of children's first words, few large sample studies address this question for children at very earliest stages word learning. The authors report data from comparable samples 265 English-, 336 Putonghua- (Mandarin), and 369 Cantonese-speaking 8- to 16-month-old infants whose caregivers completed MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories reported them produce between 1 10 words. Analyses individual words indicated striking...
Previous research has documented less dialogic interaction between parents and preschoolers during electronic-book reading versus print. Parent-toddler interactions around commercially available tablet-based books have not been described. We examined parent-toddler verbal nonverbal when electronic print books.We conducted a videotaped, laboratory-based, counterbalanced study of 37 dyads on 3 book formats (enhanced [sound effects and/or animation], basic electronic, print). coded...
Abstract Faster resting heart rate has been shown to be associated with a higher risk of developing hypertension and greater incidence cardiovascular morbidity mortality. The aim this study was investigate the distribution its relationship blood pressure other factors in three populations. One European general population (Belgian study), one North American (Tecumseh hypertensive (HARVEST trial) were studied. Within each population, mixture analysis used whether two normal distributions...
<h3>Objective</h3> To test the independent effect of television exposure in preschool-aged children on overweight risk. <h3>Design</h3> Cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis National Institute Child Health Human Development Study Early Care Youth Development. <h3>Setting</h3> Ten US sites. <h3>Participants</h3> One thousand sixteen selected via conditional random sampling. <h3>Main Exposure</h3> Being awake room with for 2 hours or more per day, by maternal report at age 36 months....
