Abstract Background Obesity (OB) is a serious epidemic in the United States. Methods We examined OB patterns and time trends across socio-economic geographic parameters projected future situation. Large national databases were used. Overweight (OW), severe obesity (SOB) defined using body mass index cut-points/percentiles; central (CO), waist circumference cut-point adults waist:height ratio cutoff youth. Various meta-regression analysis models fit for projection analyses. Results prevalence...
Abstract Objective Previous studies in China showed large sex differences childhood overweight and obesity (OW/OB) rates. However, limited research has examined the cause of these differences. The present study aimed to examine individual parental/familial factors associated with OW/OB rates China. Design Variables child weight status, beliefs behaviours, obesity-related parenting practices were selected their association a difference outcomes using logistic regression analysis. Setting...
Researchers generally agree that when upregulating and downregulating emotion, control regions in the prefrontal cortex turn up or down activity affect-generating brain areas. However, “affective dial hypothesis” turning emotions produces opposite effects same is untested. We tested this hypothesis by examining overlap between activated during upregulation those deactivated downregulation 54 male 51 female humans. found both recruit regulatory regions, such as inferior frontal gyrus dorsal...
Abstract Slow paced breathing via heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback stimulates vagus-nerve pathways that counter noradrenergic stress and arousal can influence production clearance of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related proteins. Thus, we examined whether HRV intervention affects plasma Αβ40, Αβ42, total tau (tTau), phosphorylated tau-181 (pTau-181) levels. We randomized healthy adults (N = 108) to use slow-paced with increase oscillations (Osc+) or personalized strategies decrease...
Abstract Background Family‐centred care (FCC), while a core value of paediatric hospitals, has not been well‐studied in the cardiac intensive unit (PCICU). Aim To describe parents' perceptions FCC provided by nurses PCICU during their infant's recovery from neonatal surgery and explore associations on parent post‐traumatic stress (PTS) 4 months post‐discharge. Study Design Data obtained previously conducted randomized clinical trial (RCT) telehealth home monitoring after at three...
Understanding the association between autonomic nervous system [ANS] function and brain morphology across lifespan provides important insights into neurovisceral mechanisms underlying health disease. Resting-state ANS activity, indexed by measures of heart rate [HR] its variability [HRV] has been associated with morphology, particularly cortical thickness [CT]. While findings have mixed regarding anatomical distribution direction associations, these inconsistencies may be due to sex age...
Abstract Previous research suggests that implicit automatic emotion regulation relies on the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). However, most of human studies supporting this hypothesis have been correlational in nature. In current study, we examine how changes mPFC-left amygdala functional connectivity relate to emotional memory biases. a randomized clinical trial examining effects heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback brain mechanisms regulation, randomly assigned participants increase or...
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and/or questioning (LGBTQ+) youth face worse mental health outcomes than non-LGBTQ+ peers. Family support may mitigate this, but sparse evidence demonstrates this in clinical settings.
No study has examined how the pattern of income dynamics influences both children's body mass index (BMI) trajectory and health behaviours.To examine association between household poverty childhood overweight risk in USA.Using longitudinal data 16 800 children (from kindergarten to 8th grade) nationally representative US cohort-Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class 1998-1999, we differences BMI trajectory, weight-related behaviours with during follow-up (never [no experience...
