   Abstract = {BACKGROUND:Knowledge regarding genetic influences on eating
             behaviours is expanding; yet less is known regarding
             contributions of epigenetic variation to appetitive traits
             and body mass index (BMI) in children. OBJECTIVE:The purpose
             of this study was to explore relationships between
             methylation at differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of
             imprinted genes (insulin-like growth factor 2/H19 and
             Delta-like, Drosophila, homolog 1/maternally expressed gene
             3) using DNA extracted from umbilical cord blood leucocytes,
             two genetically influenced appetitive traits (food
             responsiveness and satiety responsiveness) and BMI.
             METHODS:Data were obtained from participants (N = 317;
             mean age = 3.6 years; SD = 1.8 years) from the Newborn
             Epigenetic STudy. Conditional process models were
             implemented to investigate the associations between DMRs of
             imprinted genes and BMI, and test whether this association
             was mediated by appetitive traits and birthweight and
             moderated by sex. RESULTS:Appetitive traits and birthweight
             did not mediate the relationship between methylation at
             DMRs. Increased insulin-like growth factor 2 DMR methylation
             was associated with higher satiety responsiveness. Higher
             satiety responsiveness was associated with lower BMI.
             Associations between methylation at DMRs, appetitive traits
             and BMI differed by sex. CONCLUSIONS:This is one of the
             first studies to demonstrate associations between epigenetic
             variation established prior to birth with appetitive traits
             and BMI in children, providing support for the need to
             uncover genetic and epigenetic mechanisms for appetitive
             traits predisposing some individuals to obesity.},

   Title = {The role of genetic and environmental influences on the
             association between childhood ADHD symptoms and
             BMI.},
   Journal = {International Journal of Obesity (2005)},

   Abstract = {BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:Although childhood attention deficit
             hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been previously associated
             with concurrent and later obesity in adulthood, the etiology
             of this association remains unclear. The objective of this
             study is to determine the shared genetic effects of ADHD
             symptoms and BMI in a large sample of sibling pairs,
             consider how these shared effects may vary over time, and
             examine potential sex differences. SUBJECT/METHODS:Sibling
             pair data were obtained from the National Longitudinal Study
             of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health); childhood ADHD
             symptoms were reported retrospectively during young
             adulthood, while three prospective measurements of BMI were
             available from young adulthood to later adulthood. Cholesky
             decomposition models were fit to this data using Mx and
             maximum-likelihood estimation. The twin and sibling sample
             for these analyses included: 221 monozygotic (MZ) pairs (92
             male-male, 139 female-female), 228 dizygotic (DZ) pairs (123
             male-male, 105 female-female), 471 full-sibling (FS) pairs
             (289 male-male, 182 female-female), 106 male-female DZ twin
             pairs, and 234 male-female FS pairs. RESULTS:The magnitude
             of the association between childhood ADHD symptoms and BMI
             changed over time and by sex. The etiological relationship
             between childhood ADHD symptoms and the three prospective
             measurements of BMI differed for males and females, such
             that unique or non-shared environmental influences
             contributed to the relationship within males and genetic
             factors contributed to the relationship within females.
             Specifically, among females, genetic influences on childhood
             ADHD symptoms were partially shared with those effecting BMI
             and increased from adolescence to later adulthood (genetic
             correlation = 0.20 (95% CI: 0.07-0.36) in adolescence
             and 0.24 (95% CI: 0.10, 0.41) in adulthood).
             CONCLUSION:Genetic influences on ADHD symptoms in childhood
             are partially shared with those effecting obesity. However,
             future research is needed to determine why this association
             is limited to females.},

   Abstract = {Youth tobacco use behaviors are predictive of patterns in
             adulthood and effect long-term health outcomes. Yet, few
             studies have examined the effect of initial subjective
             experiences (ISEs) during first tobacco use, which has been
             found to be an indicator of individuals. sensitivity to
             nicotine and vulnerability to dependence.The present study
             aimed to determine the prevalence of ISEs across a variety
             of tobacco products, evaluate the factor structure of ISEs
             by first tobacco product used, and examine the relationship
             between ISEs and recent (30-day) use of tobacco products
             across time, using a university sample.Exploratory factor
             analyses were conducted to identify latent factors present
             with respect to items measuring ISEs with tobacco,
             separately by tobacco product (e.g. cigarettes, cigars,
             hookah, e-cigarettes). Factor scores for positive and
             negative ISEs were calculated. Multiple logistic regression
             analyses were conducted to examine associations between ISEs
             and recent use of each tobacco product, adjusted for age at
             first use, sex, race/ethnicity, and cohort.ISEs differ by
             the first tobacco product used. Associations between factor
             scores for positive and negative ISEs and recent use were
             found across a variety of tobacco products. Overall,
             positive ISEs were more strongly associated with recent use,
             relative to negative ISEs.Further research is needed to
             identify genetic and biological pathways and social contexts
             influencing initial subjective experiences with tobacco use,
             in efforts to delay the initiation for tobacco use and
             reduce risk for continued use among young
             adults.},

   Abstract = {Maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSDP) and secondhand
             smoke (SHS) exposure are associated with a myriad of
             negative health effects for both mother and child. However,
             less is known regarding social determinants for SHS
             exposure, which may differ from those of maternal smoking
             during pregnancy (MSDP). To identify social determinants for
             SHS exposure only, MSDP only, and MSDP and SHS exposure,
             data were obtained from all pregnant women (18-54 years;
             N = 726) in waves 1 and 2 of the Population Assessment
             of Tobacco and Health Study (2014-2015). Multiple logistic
             regressions were conducted using SAS 9.4. Smoke exposure
             during pregnancy was common; 23.0% reported SHS exposure
             only, 6.1% reported MSDP only, and 11.8% reported both SHS
             exposure and MSDP. Results demonstrate that relationships
             between smoke exposure during pregnancy and social
             determinants vary by type of exposure. Women at risk for any
             smoke exposure during pregnancy include those who are
             unmarried and allow the use of combustible tobacco products
             within the home. Those who are at higher risk for SHS
             exposure include those who are younger in age, and those who
             are earlier in their pregnancy. Those who are at higher risk
             for maternal smoking include those with fair/poor mental
             health status and those who believe that others' view
             tobacco use more positively. These results suggest the need
             for implementing more comprehensive policies that promote
             smoke-free environments. Implementing these strategies have
             the potential to improve maternal and fetal health outcomes
             associated with tobacco smoke exposure.},

             Application?},

   Abstract = {Background:Fueled by rapid technological advances over the
             past decade, there is growing interest in the use of
             smartphones to aid in smoking cessation. Hundreds of
             applications have been developed for this purpose, but
             little is known about how these applications are accessed
             and used by smokers or what features smokers believe would
             be most useful. Purpose:The present study sought to
             understand the prevalence of smartphone ownership and
             patterns of use among smokers as well as the perceived
             utility of various smartphone application features for
             smoking cessation that are currently in development or
             already available. Methods:Daily cigarette smokers (n = 224)
             reported on smartphone ownership, their patterns of
             smartphone usage, and perceived utility of features.
             Features were ranked according to perceived utility and
             differences in both perceived utility and general smartphone
             use patterns were examined as a function of demographic and
             smoking-related variables. Results:Most smokers (80.4%) own
             a smartphone, but experience with smoking cessation
             applications is extremely rare (6.1%). Ownership and
             patterns of usage differed as a function of demographic and
             smoking-related variables. Overall, gain-framed features
             were rated as most useful, while loss-framed and
             interpersonal features were rated as least useful.
             Conclusions:Mobile health interventions have the potential
             to reach a large number of smokers but are currently
             underutilized. Additional effort is needed to ensure parity
             in treatment access. Gain-framed messages may be especially
             useful for engaging smokers, even if other features
             ultimately drive treatment effects. Implications:This study
             describes patterns of smartphone usage among smokers and
             identifies the smartphone application features smokers
             believe would be most useful during a quit attempt. Findings
             indicate which subgroups of smokers are most likely to be
             reached with mobile health interventions and suggests that
             inclusion of specific features may be helpful for engaging
             smokers in the smoking cessation process.},

   Abstract = {Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, act as
             one potential mechanism underlying the detrimental effects
             associated with prenatal tobacco smoke (PTS) exposure.
             Methylation in a gene called AXL was previously reported to
             differ in response to PTS.We investigated the association
             between PTS and epigenetic changes in AXL and how this was
             related to childhood asthma phenotypes. We tested the
             association between PTS and DNA methylation at multiple CpG
             loci of AXL at birth using Pyrosequencing in two separate
             study populations, the Children's Health Study (CHS, n =
             799) and the Newborn Epigenetic Study (NEST, n = 592).
             Plasma cotinine concentration was used to validate findings
             with self-reported smoking status. The inter-relationships
             among AXL mRNA and miR-199a1 expression, PTS, and AXL
             methylation were examined. Lastly, we evaluated the joint
             effects of AXL methylation and PTS on the risk of asthma and
             related symptoms at age 10 years old.PTS was associated with
             higher methylation level in the AXL gene body in both CHS
             and NEST subjects. In the pooled analysis, exposed subjects
             had a 0.51% higher methylation level in this region compared
             to unexposed subjects (95% CI 0.29, 0.74; p < 0.0001).
             PTS was also associated with 21.2% lower expression of
             miR-199a1 (95% CI - 37.9, - 0.1; p = 0.05), a
             microRNA known to regulate AXL expression. Furthermore, the
             combination of higher AXL methylation and PTS exposure at
             birth increased the risk of recent episodes of bronchitic
             symptoms in childhood.PTS was associated with methylation
             level of AXL and the combination altered the risk of
             childhood bronchitic symptoms.},

   Abstract = {This review examined evidence of the association between
             maternal pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity status and child
             neurodevelopmental outcomes. PubMed and PsycINFO databases
             were systematically searched for empirical studies published
             before April 2017 using keywords related to prenatal obesity
             and children's neurodevelopment. Of 1483 identified papers,
             41 were included in the systematic review, and 32 articles
             representing 36 cohorts were included in the meta-analysis.
             Findings indicated that compared with children of normal
             weight mothers, children whose mothers were overweight or
             obese prior to pregnancy were at increased risk for
             compromised neurodevelopmental outcomes (overweight:
             OR = 1.17, 95% CI [1.11, 1.24], I2  = 65.51; obese:
             OR = 1.51; 95% CI [1.35, 1.69], I2  = 79.63).
             Pre-pregnancy obesity increased the risk of attention
             deficit-hyperactivity disorder (OR = 1.62; 95% CI [1.23,
             2.14], I2  = 70.15), autism spectrum disorder
             (OR = 1.36; 95% CI [1.08, 1.70], I2  = 60.52),
             developmental delay (OR = 1.58; 95% CI [1.39, 1.79], I2
              = 75.77) and emotional/behavioural problems (OR = 1.42;
             95% CI [1.26, 1.59], I2  = 87.74). Given the current
             obesity prevalence among young adults and women of
             childbearing age, this association between maternal obesity
             during pregnancy and atypical child neurodevelopment
             represents a potentially high public health
             burden.},

   Abstract = {Preclinical studies demonstrate that environmentally-induced
             alterations in inflammatory cytokines generated by the
             maternal and fetal immune system can significantly impact
             fetal brain development. Yet, the relationship between
             maternal cytokines during gestation and later cognitive
             ability and executive function remains understudied.
             Children (n = 246) were born of mothers enrolled in the
             Newborn Epigenetic Study - a prospective pre-birth cohort in
             the Southeastern US. We characterized seven cytokines
             [IL-1β, IL-4,IL-6, IL-12p70, IL-17A, tumor necrosis
             factor-α (TNFα), and interferon-γ (IFNγ)] and one
             chemokine (IL-8) from maternal plasma collected during
             pregnancy. We assessed children's cognitive abilities and
             executive functioning at a mean age of 4.5 (SD = 1.1)
             years. Children's DAS-II and NIH toolbox scores were
             regressed on cytokines and the chemokine, controlling for
             maternal age, race, education, body mass index, IQ, parity,
             smoking status, delivery type, gestational weeks, and child
             birth weight and sex. Higher IL-12p70 (βIL-12p70 = 4.26,
             p = 0.023) and IL-17A (βIL-17A = 3.70, p = 0.042)
             levels were related to higher DAS-II GCA score, whereas
             higher IL-1β (βIL-1B = -6.07, p = 0.003) was related
             to lower GCA score. Higher IL-12p70 was related to higher
             performance on NIH toolbox measures of executive functions
             related to inhibitory control and attention (βIL-12p70 =
             5.20, p = 0.046) and cognitive flexibility (βIL-12p70 =
             5.10, p = 0.047). Results suggest that dysregulation in
             gestational immune activity are associated with child
             cognitive ability and executive functioning.},

   Abstract = {The aim of this study is to understand how early cigarette
             use might predict subsequent illicit drug use, especially
             among individuals with attention-deficit hyperactivity
             disorder (ADHD) symptoms during childhood.Data were drawn
             from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health
             (Waves I-IV). The analysis sample involves participants who
             had not used illicit drugs at Wave I, with no missing
             responses for studied predictors (N = 7,332).Smoking
             status at Wave I (ever regular vs. never regular) and
             childhood ADHD symptoms predicted subsequent illicit drug
             use at Waves II to IV. No interaction effect of smoking
             status at Wave I and childhood ADHD symptoms was found.
             However, an indirect effect from childhood ADHD symptoms on
             illicit drug use was identified, through smoking status at
             Wave I. Similar results were observed for predicting illicit
             drug dependence.The findings support the notion that smoking
             status during early adolescence may mediate the association
             between childhood ADHD symptoms and risk of later adult drug
             use. Interventions to prevent smoking among adolescents may
             be particularly effective at decreasing subsequent drug use,

             ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data to characterize
             hostile and irritable affect in the day-to-day experience of
             52 smokers with, and 65 smokers without, posttraumatic
             stress disorder (PTSD). EMA monitoring occurred over a mean
             of 8.2 days, and participants responded to an average of 2.8
             random prompts/day. Analyses included Wilcoxon rank sum
             tests of group differences, and path analyses of
             cross-lagged multilevel models. Participants with PTSD
             endorsed a significantly higher proportion of total EMA
             entries indicating hostile affect and irritable affect than
             did individuals without PTSD. Cross-lagged analyses
             indicated that over a period of hours, PTSD symptoms
             significantly predicted subsequent hostile and irritable
             affect, but hostile and irritable affect did not predict
             subsequent PTSD symptoms. Findings suggest that day-to-day
             exposure to PTSD-related trauma cues may contribute to
             chronically elevated levels of anger-related affect. Such

             other health and quality-of-life related impairments
             associated with PTSD. Clinical implications include
             conceptualizing anger treatment in the broader context of
             trauma history and symptoms, and specifically targeting
             physiological arousal and maladaptive hostile cognitions

   Abstract = {INTRODUCTION:Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV)
             is routinely recommended for ages 11-12, yet in 2016 only
             49.5% of women and 37.5% of men had completed the three-dose
             series in the United States. Offering information and cues
             to action through a serious videogame for preteens may
             foster HPV vaccination awareness, information seeking, and
             communication. MATERIALS AND METHODS:An iterative process
             was used to develop an interactive videogame, Land of Secret
             Gardens. Three focus groups were conducted with 16 boys and
             girls, ages 11-12, for input on game design, acceptability,
             and functioning. Two parallel focus groups explored parents'
             (n = 9) perspectives on the game concept. Three
             researchers identified key themes. RESULTS:Preteens wanted a
             game that is both entertaining and instructional. Some
             parents were skeptical that games could be motivational. A
             back-story about a secret garden was developed as a metaphor
             for a preteen's body and keeping it healthy. The goal is to
             plant a lush secret garden and protect the seedlings by
             treating them with a potion when they sprout to keep them
             healthy as they mature. Points to buy seeds and create the
             potion are earned by playing mini-games. Throughout play,
             players are exposed to messaging about HPV and the benefits
             of the vaccine. Both boys and girls liked the garden concept
             and getting facts about HPV. Parents were encouraged to
             discuss the game with their preteens. CONCLUSION:Within a
             larger communication strategy, serious games could be useful
             for engaging preteens in health decision making about HPV
             vaccination.},

   Abstract = {Prenatal passive smoke exposure raises risk for negative
             birth outcomes. Legislation regulating public smoking has
             been shown to impact exposure levels, though fewer studies
             involving pregnant women have been conducted within the U.S.
             where bans are inconsistent across regions. This study
             examined the effect of a ban enacted in the southeastern
             U.S. on pregnant women's cotinine levels. Additional
             analyses compared self-reported exposure to cotinine and
             identified characteristics associated with passive exposure.
             Pregnant women (N = 851) were recruited prospectively
             between 2005 and 2011 in North Carolina. Sociodemographic
             and health data were collected via surveys; maternal blood
             samples were assayed for cotinine. Among non-active smokers
             who provided self-report data regarding passive exposure (N
             = 503), 20% were inconsistent with corresponding cotinine.
             Among all non-smokers (N = 668), being unmarried, African
             American, and less educated were each associated with
             greater passive exposure. Controlling for covariates, mean
             cotinine was higher prior to the ban compared to after, F(1,
             640) = 24.65, p < 0.001. Results suggest that banning
             smoking in public spaces may reduce passive smoke exposure
             for non-smoking pregnant women. These data are some of the
             first to examine the impact of legislation on passive smoke
             exposure in pregnant women within the U.S. using a biomarker
             and can inform policy in regions lacking comprehensive
             smoke-free legislation.},

   Abstract = {Background: Maternal diet during pregnancy has been shown to
             influence the child neuro-developmental outcomes. Studies
             examining effects of dietary patterns on offspring behavior
             are sparse. Objective: Determine if maternal adherence to a
             Mediterranean diet is associated with child behavioral
             outcomes assessed early in life, and to evaluate the role of
             differentially methylated regions (DMRs) regulating
             genomically imprinted genes in these associations. Methods:
             Among 325 mother/infant pairs, we used regression models to
             evaluate the association between tertiles of maternal
             periconceptional Mediterranean diet adherence (MDA) scores
             derived from a Food Frequency Questionnaire, and social and
             emotional scores derived from the Infant Toddler Social and
             Emotional Assessment (ITSEA) questionnaire in the second
             year of life. Methylation of nine genomically imprinted
             genes was measured to determine if MDA was associated with
             CpG methylation. Results: Child depression was inversely
             associated with maternal MDA (Bonferroni-corrected p =
             0.041). While controlling for false-discovery, compared to
             offspring of women with the lowest MDA tertile, those with
             MDA scores in middle and high MDA tertiles had decreased
             odds for atypical behaviors [OR (95% CI) = 0.40 (0.20, 0.78)
             for middle and 0.40 (0.17, 0.92) for highest tertile], for
             maladaptive behaviors [0.37 (0.18, 0.72) for middle tertile
             and 0.42 (0.18, 0.95) for highest tertile] and for an index
             of autism spectrum disorder behaviors [0.46 (0.23, 0.90) for
             middle and 0.35 (0.15, 0.80) for highest tertile]. Offspring
             of women with the highest MDA tertile were less likely to
             exhibit depressive [OR = 0.28 (0.12, 0.64)] and anxiety
             [0.42 (0.18, 0.97)] behaviors and increased odds of social
             relatedness [2.31 (1.04, 5.19)] behaviors when compared to
             low MDA mothers. Some associations varied by sex. Perinatal
             MDA score was associated with methylation differences for
             imprinted control regions of PEG10/SGCE [females: Beta (95%
             CI) = 1.66 (0.52, 2.80) - Bonferroni-corrected p = 0.048;
             males: -0.56 (-1.13, -0.00)], as well as both MEG3 and IGF2

             respectively. Conclusion: In this ethnically diverse cohort,
             maternal adherence to a Mediterranean diet in early
             pregnancy was associated with favorable neurobehavioral
             outcomes in early childhood and with sex-dependent

   Abstract = {Many pregnant women in the United States have suboptimal
             vitamin D, but the impact on infant development is unclear.
             Moreover, no pregnancy-specific vitamin D recommendations
             have been widely accepted.Given the ubiquitous expression of
             vitamin D receptors in the brain, we investigated the
             association between early prenatal plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin
             D (25(OH)D) concentrations and children's social and
             emotional development in the Newborn Epigenetic Study, a
             prospective study of pregnancies from 2009 to 2011 in
             Durham, North Carolina.We measured 25(OH)D concentrations in
             first or second trimester plasma samples and categorized
             25(OH)D concentrations into quartiles. Covariates were
             derived from maternal questionnaires. Mothers completed the
             Infant Toddler Social-Emotional Development Assessment when
             children were 12-24 months of age. We used multivariable
             linear regression to evaluate associations between 25(OH)D
             and specific behavior scores, adjusted for season of blood
             draw, maternal age, education, parity, smoking, marital
             status, prepregnancy BMI, and infant gender. We investigated
             effect-measure modification by race/ethnicity.Of the 218
             mother-infant pairs with complete data, Black mothers had
             much lower 25(OH)D concentrations as compared to White and
             Hispanic mothers. After adjustment, lower prenatal 25(OH)D
             was associated with slightly higher (less favorable)
             Internalizing scores among White children, but lower (more
             favorable) Internalizing scores among Black and Hispanic
             children. Lower prenatal 25(OH)D also appears to be
             associated with higher (less favorable) dysregulation
             scores, though only among White and Hispanic children.Though
             imprecise, preliminary results warrant further investigation
             regarding a role for prenatal vitamin D on children's early

   Abstract = {Excessive inflammation during pregnancy alters homeostatic
             mechanisms of the developing fetus and has been linked to
             adverse pregnancy outcomes. An anti-inflammatory diet could
             be a promising avenue to combat the pro-inflammatory state
             of pregnancy, particularly in obese women, but we lack
             mechanistic data linking this dietary pattern during
             pregnancy to inflammation and birth outcomes. In an
             ethnically diverse cohort of 1057 mother-child pairs, we
             estimated the relationships between dietary inflammatory
             potential [measured via the energy-adjusted dietary
             inflammatory index (E-DII™)] and birth outcomes overall,
             as well as by offspring sex and maternal pre-pregnancy body
             mass index (BMI). In a subset of women, we also explored
             associations between E-DII, circulating cytokines (n = 105),
             and offspring methylation (n = 338) as potential modulators
             of these relationships using linear regression. Adjusted
             regression models revealed that women with pro-inflammatory
             diets had elevated rates of preterm birth among female
             offspring [β = -0.22, standard error (SE) = 0.07, P<0.01],
             but not male offspring (β=0.09, SE = 0.06, P<0.12)
             (Pinteraction = 0.003). Similarly, we observed
             pro-inflammatory diets were associated with higher rates of
             caesarean delivery among obese women (β = 0.17, SE = 0.08,
             P = 0.03), but not among women with BMI <25 kg/m2
             (Pinteraction = 0.02). We observed consistent inverse
             associations between maternal inflammatory cytokine
             concentrations (IL-12, IL-17, IL-4, IL-6, and TNFα) and
             lower methylation at the MEG3 regulatory sequence (P<0.05);
             however, results did not support the link between maternal
             E-DII and circulating cytokines. We replicate work by others
             on the association between maternal inflammatory diet and
             adverse pregnancy outcomes and provide the first empirical
             evidence supporting the inverse association between
             circulating cytokine concentrations and offspring
             methylation.},

   Abstract = {To maintain positive health outcomes over the life course,
             prevention efforts should begin early in childhood. Two
             research domains that significantly impact the trajectory of
             health over the life course are childhood obesity and early
             trauma and violence. Prevention strategies addressing
             multiple levels of influence are being adopted in these
             fields. Childhood obesity prevention efforts no longer focus
             solely on individuals, but embrace multiple ecological
             levels, such as family, school, and community. Similarly,
             research on early trauma and violence has broadened to
             consider risk and protective factors across domains of
             influence. Although we have improved our understanding and
             prevention of these two issues, gaps remain in research,
             practice, and policy. The purpose of this review is to relay
             relevant findings that could enhance prevention strategies.
             We describe early life and multilevel risk factors relevant
             to these areas of research. We also provide recommendations
             for future efforts to better ensure good health for

   Abstract = {The first 1000 days of life is a critical period of infant
             growth that has been linked to future adult health.
             Understanding prenatal factors that contribute to variation
             in growth during this period could inform successful
             prevention strategies.Prenatal and maternal characteristics,
             including prepregnancy obesity and gestational weight gain
             were evaluated in relation to weight growth trajectories
             during the first 24 months of life using the SuperImposition
             by Translation and Rotation (SITAR) method, which provides
             estimates of infant size, timing to peak velocity, and
             growth velocity. The study sample included 704 mother-infant
             dyads from a multiethnic prebirth cohort from the
             Southeastern United States. The total number of weight
             measures was 8670 (median number per child = 14).Several
             prenatal and maternal characteristics were linked with
             infant growth parameters. The primary findings show that
             compared to women with a prepregnancy BMI between 18 and
             24.9, women with a prepregnancy BMI ≥40 had infants that
             were 8% larger during the first 24 months, a delayed tempo
             of around 9 days, and a slower velocity. Mothers who had
             greater than adequate gestational weight gain had infants
             that were 5% larger even after controlling for prepregnancy
             BMI and several other covariates.The findings contribute new
             data on the associations between gestational weight gain and
             aspects of early growth using the SITAR method, and support
             a growing consensus in the literature that both prepregnancy
             BMI and gestational weight gain relate independently to risk
             for greater postnatal weight growth.},

   Abstract = {Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation,
             represent a potential mechanism for environmental impacts on
             human disease. Maternal smoking in pregnancy remains an
             important public health problem that impacts child health in
             a myriad of ways and has potential lifelong consequences.
             The mechanisms are largely unknown, but epigenetics most
             likely plays a role. We formed the Pregnancy And Childhood
             Epigenetics (PACE) consortium and meta-analyzed, across 13
             cohorts (n = 6,685), the association between maternal
             smoking in pregnancy and newborn blood DNA methylation at
             over 450,000 CpG sites (CpGs) by using the Illumina 450K
             BeadChip. Over 6,000 CpGs were differentially methylated in
             relation to maternal smoking at genome-wide statistical
             significance (false discovery rate, 5%), including 2,965
             CpGs corresponding to 2,017 genes not previously related to
             smoking and methylation in either newborns or adults.
             Several genes are relevant to diseases that can be caused by
             maternal smoking (e.g., orofacial clefts and asthma) or
             adult smoking (e.g., certain cancers). A number of
             differentially methylated CpGs were associated with gene
             expression. We observed enrichment in pathways and processes
             critical to development. In older children (5 cohorts, n =
             3,187), 100% of CpGs gave at least nominal levels of
             significance, far more than expected by chance (p value <
             2.2 × 10(-16)). Results were robust to different
             normalization methods used across studies and cell type
             adjustment. In this large scale meta-analysis of methylation
             data, we identified numerous loci involved in response to
             maternal smoking in pregnancy with persistence into later
             childhood and provide insights into mechanisms underlying
             effects of this important exposure.},

             drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent
             Health, which followed respondents from ages 12 to 31 years.
             Confirmatory factor analysis and factor mixture modeling are
             used to classify parenting style typologies based on
             measures of parental acceptance and control. Heavy Episodic
             Drinking (HED) trajectories are evaluated using a
             zero-inflated Poisson multigroup latent growth curve
             modeling approach.The mixture model identified 4
             heterogeneous groups that differed based on the 2 latent
             variables (parental acceptance and control): balanced (65.8%
             of the sample), authoritarian (12.2%), permissive (19.4%),
             and uninvolved or neglectful (2.7%). Regardless of race, we
             found that at age 12 years, children of authoritarian
             parents have a higher probability of not engaging in HED
             than children of parents with balanced, permissive, or
             neglectful parenting styles. However, among Black youth who
             reported HED at age 12, authoritarian parenting was
             associated with greater level of HED at age 12 but a less
             steep increase in level of HED as age increased yearly as
             compared with balanced parenting. For White adolescents,
             uninvolved, permissive, and authoritarian parenting were not
             associated with a greater level of HED as age increased
             yearly as compared with adolescents exposed to balanced
             parenting.The influence of parenting styles on HED during
             adolescence persists into young adulthood and differs by
             race for youth engaging in HED.},

             between periconceptional environmental exposures and health
             status of the offspring in later life. Although these
             environmentally related effects have been attributed to
             epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation shifts at
             imprinted genes, little is known about the potential effects
             of maternal and paternal preconceptional overnutrition or
             obesity.We examined parental preconceptional obesity in
             relation to DNA methylation profiles at multiple human
             imprinted genes important in normal growth and development,
             such as: maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3),
             mesoderm-specific transcript (MEST), paternally expressed
             gene 3 (PEG3), pleiomorphic adenoma gene-like 1 (PLAGL1),
             epsilon sarcoglycan and paternally expressed gene 10
             (SGCE/PEG10) and neuronatin (NNAT).We measured methylation
             percentages at the differentially methylated regions (DMRs)
             by bisulfite pyrosequencing in DNA extracted from umbilical
             cord blood leukocytes of 92 newborns. Preconceptional
             obesity, defined as BMI ⩾30 kg m(-2), was ascertained
             through standardized questionnaires.After adjusting for
             potential confounders and cluster effects, paternal obesity
             was significantly associated with lower methylation levels
             at the MEST (β=-2.57; s.e.=0.95; P=0.008), PEG3 (β=-1.71;
             s.e.=0.61; P=0.005) and NNAT (β=-3.59; s.e.=1.76; P=0.04)
             DMRs. Changes related to maternal obesity detected at other
             loci were as follows: β-coefficient was +2.58 (s.e.=1.00;
             P=0.01) at the PLAGL1 DMR and -3.42 (s.e.=1.69; P=0.04) at
             the MEG3 DMR.We found altered methylation outcomes at
             multiple imprint regulatory regions in children born to
             obese parents, compared with children born to non-obese
             parents. In spite of the small sample size, our data suggest
             a preconceptional influence of parental life-style or
             overnutrition on the (re)programming of imprint marks during
             gametogenesis and early development. More specifically, the
             significant and independent association between paternal
             obesity and the offspring's methylation status suggests the
             susceptibility of the developing sperm for environmental
             insults. The acquired imprint instability may be carried
             onto the next generation and increase the risk for chronic
             diseases in adulthood.},

   Abstract = {Although depressive symptoms are common postpartum, few
             studies have followed women beyond 12 months postpartum to
             investigate changes in the number and severity of these
             symptoms over time, especially in overweight and obese
             women. Using two complementary analytical methods, this
             study aims to identify trajectories of depressive symptoms
             over 2 years postpartum among overweight or obese mothers,
             and assess the demographic, socioeconomic, and health
             covariates for these trajectories.Using longitudinal data
             from two behavioral intervention studies (Kids and Adults
             Now!-Defeat Obesity [KAN-DO] and Active Mothers Postpartum
             (AMP); n = 844), we used latent growth modeling to identify
             the overall trajectory of depressive symptoms and how it was
             related to key covariates. Next, we used latent class growth
             analysis to assess the heterogeneity in the depressive
             symptom trajectories over time, and thereby, identify
             subgroups of women with distinct trajectories.The overall
             trajectory of depressive symptoms over 2 years postpartum
             was relatively stable in our sample. However, the presence
             of three distinct latent class trajectories (stable-low
             [82.5%], decreasing symptoms [7.3%], and increasing symptoms
             [10.2%]), identified based on trajectory shape and mean
             depressive symptom score, supported heterogeneity in
             depressive symptom trajectories over time. Lower maternal
             education was related to a higher symptom score, and poorer
             subjective health status at baseline predicted inclusion in
             the increasing symptoms trajectory.In some overweight or
             obese mothers, postpartum depressive symptoms do not resolve
             quickly. Practitioners should be aware of this phenomenon
             and continue to screen for depression for longer periods of
             time postpartum.},

   Abstract = {Epigenetic mechanisms are proposed to link maternal
             concentrations of methyl group donor nutrients with the risk
             of low birth weight. However, empirical data are lacking. We
             have examined the association between maternal folate and
             birth weight and assessed the mediating role of DNA
             methylation at nine differentially methylated regions (DMRs)
             of genomically imprinted genes in these associations.
             Compared with newborns of women with folate levels in the
             lowest quartile, birth weight was higher in newborns of
             mothers in the second (β = 143.2, se = 63.2, P = 0.02),
             third (β = 117.3, se = 64.0, P = 0.07), and fourth (β =
             133.9, se = 65.2, P = 0.04) quartiles, consistent with a
             threshold effect. This pattern of association did not vary
             by race/ethnicity but was more apparent in newborns of
             non-obese women. DNA methylation at the PLAGL1, SGCE,
             DLK1/MEG3 and IGF2/H19 DMRs was associated with maternal
             folate levels and also birth weight, suggestive of threshold
             effects. MEG3 DMR methylation mediated the association
             between maternal folate levels and birth weight (P =0.06).
             While the small sample size and partial scope of examined
             DMRs limit our conclusions, our data suggest that, with
             respect to birth weight, no additional benefits may be
             derived from increased maternal folate concentrations,
             especially in non-obese women. These data also support
             epigenetic plasticity as a key mechanistic response to
             folate availability during early fetal development.},

   Abstract = {Numerous studies indicate an association between
             breastfeeding and decreased toddler adiposity. The mechanism
             behind this association is still unknown. One possibility is
             that children who are breastfed may have increased
             responsiveness to internal satiety cues. This study assessed
             the effect of satiety responsiveness on the association
             between breastfeeding and weight status among toddlers. We
             conducted a secondary analysis of data from 428 toddlers
             aged 2 years. Mothers' body mass index (BMI) and children's
             BMI z score were calculated from measured height and weight.
             Mothers completed a detailed breastfeeding survey and the
             satiety responsiveness subscale of the Child Eating
             Behaviour Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression and
             logistic regression were used to determine if satiety
             responsiveness mediated the effect of breastfeeding on BMI z
             score or overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 85th percentile).
             Establishment of breastfeeding was associated with decreased
             BMI z score (0.40 vs. 0.60; p = 0.04), and increased
             breastfeeding intensity was associated with lower odds of
             overweight/obesity (OR 0.97, p = 0.04). Satiety
             responsiveness was not associated with either breastfeeding
             measures, suggesting it does not play a meditational role in
             the relationship between breastfeeding and toddler weight
             status. Furthermore, a relationship between satiety
             responsiveness and obesity does not exist after controlling
             for well-known confounders. This study did not find a
             mediation effect of satiety responsiveness on the
             association between breastfeeding and weight status in
             toddlers. More research is needed to characterize satiety
             responsiveness and its influence on the relationship between

   Abstract = {In infants exposed to maternal stress in utero, phenotypic
             plasticity through epigenetic events may mechanistically
             explain increased risk of preterm birth (PTB), which confers
             increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders,
             cardiovascular disease, and cancers in adulthood. We
             examined associations between prenatal maternal stress and
             PTB, evaluating the role of DNA methylation at imprint
             regulatory regions. We enrolled women from prenatal clinics
             in Durham, NC. Stress was measured in 537 women at 12 weeks
             of gestation using the Perceived Stress Scale. DNA
             methylation at differentially methylated regions (DMRs)
             associated with H19, IGF2, MEG3, MEST, SGCE/PEG10, PEG3,
             NNAT, and PLAGL1 was measured from peripheral and cord blood
             using bisulfite pyrosequencing in a sub-sample of 79
             mother-infant pairs. We examined associations between PTB
             and stress and evaluated differences in DNA methylation at
             each DMR by stress. Maternal stress was not associated with
             PTB (OR = 0.98; 95% CI, 0.40-2.40; P = 0.96), after
             adjustment for maternal body mass index (BMI), income, and
             raised blood pressure. However, elevated stress was
             associated with higher infant DNA methylation at the MEST
             DMR (2.8% difference, P < 0.01) after adjusting for PTB.
             Maternal stress may be associated with epigenetic changes at
             MEST, a gene relevant to maternal care and obesity. Reduced
             prenatal stress may support the epigenomic profile of a
             healthy infant.},

             (rs892413) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) genes
             and symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
             (ADHD) in predicting smoking patterns from early adolescence
             to adulthood. METHOD: A longitudinal cohort of 1137
             unrelated youths from the National Longitudinal Study of
             Adolescent Health provided responses to four surveys from
             Waves I to IV, and a genetic sample in Wave III. Growth
             mixture modeling was used to identify smoking patterns and
             to assess the effects of the two SNPs and ADHD symptoms on
             cigarette use over time. RESULTS: There were significant
             main effects of ADHD symptoms and CHRNA6 variants in
             predicting the number of cigarettes smoked and the pattern
             of use over time, respectively. There were no main effects
             of the CHRNB3 variants. However, a significant CHRNB3
             variant×ADHD symptom interaction was observed, such that
             individuals with elevated ADHD symptoms and a particular
             CHRNB3 variant were at increased risk of cigarette use over

             a nicotinic receptor gene may interact with ADHD symptoms to
             link with increased cigarette use across adolescence and
             young adulthood. Unique associations between specific

   Abstract = {BACKGROUND: Characterizing smoking behavior is important for
             informing etiologic models and targeting prevention efforts.
             This study explored the effects of both individual- and
             community-level variables in predicting cigarette use vs.
             non-use and level of use among adolescents as they
             transition into adulthood. METHODS: Data on 14,779 youths
             (53% female) were drawn from the National Longitudinal Study
             of Adolescent Health (Add Health); a nationally
             representative longitudinal cohort. A cohort sequential
             design allowed for examining trajectories of smoking
             typologies from age 13 to 32 years. Smoking trajectories
             were evaluated by using a zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) latent
             growth analysis and latent class growth analysis modeling
             approach. RESULTS: Significant relationships emerged between
             both individual- and community-level variables and smoking
             outcomes. Maternal and peer smoking predicted increases in
             smoking over development and were associated with a greater
             likelihood of belonging to any of the four identified
             smoking groups versus Non-Users. Conduct problems and
             depressive symptoms during adolescence were related to
             cigarette use versus non-use. State-level prevalence of
             adolescent smoking was related to greater cigarette use
             during adolescence. CONCLUSIONS: Individual- and
             community-level variables that distinguish smoking patterns
             within the population aid in understanding cigarette use
             versus non-use and the quantity of cigarette use into
             adulthood. Our findings suggest that efforts to prevent
             cigarette use would benefit from attention to both parental
             and peer smoking and individual well-being. Future work is
             needed to better understand the role of variables in the
             context of multiple levels (individual and community-level)
             on smoking trajectories.},

   Abstract = {Children who undergo treatment for childhood acute
             lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoma are at risk for
             several long-term health problems. Obesity, for which
             survivors of ALL and lymphoma are also at risk, may further
             exacerbate these problems. This pilot study evaluates
             changes in physical activity and body composition among
             children being treated for ALL and lymphoma and their
             parents.Recently diagnosed adolescent ALL and lymphoma
             patients were recruited from 2 pediatric hematology and
             oncology clinics, and matched on age, race, and sex to
             healthy individuals in the community. Changes in diet,
             physical activity, and body composition were collected at
             baseline, 6, and 12 months.All children (n=15) were, on
             average, 10.3 years of age at enrollment, and were fairly
             evenly distributed with regard to sex. Analyses revealed a
             significant difference between cases and controls with
             respect to the change in body mass index from baseline to 12
             months (P=0.01). In addition, controls demonstrated a
             significantly greater increase in moderate-vigorous physical
             activity than the cases [229.8 metabolic equivalent of tasks
             (METs) vs. 23.5 METs]; indicating cases remained fairly
             inactive over the course of treatment.Our data corroborate
             previous findings that following treatment for ALL and
             lymphoma, childhood cancer survivors tend to be less active
             and at greater risk for obesity than their healthy peers.
             The present study, which assessed cases prospectively over a
             12-month period during the early phases of treatment,
             extends prior reports by demonstrating that these outcomes
             are evident at an early stage in treatment.},

   Abstract = {Low birth weight (LBW) has been associated with common
             adult-onset chronic diseases, including obesity,
             cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes and some cancers.
             The etiology of LBW is multi-factorial. However, recent
             evidence suggests exposure to antibiotics may also increase
             the risk of LBW. The mechanisms underlying this association
             are unknown, although epigenetic mechanisms are
             hypothesized. In this study, we evaluated the association
             between maternal antibiotic use and LBW and examined the
             potential role of altered DNA methylation that controls
             growth regulatory imprinted genes in these
             associations.Between 2009-2011, 397 pregnant women were
             enrolled and followed until delivery. Prenatal antibiotic
             use was ascertained through maternal self-report. Imprinted
             genes methylation levels were measured at differentially
             methylated regions (DMRs) using bisulfite pyrosequencing.
             Generalized linear models were used to examine associations
             among antibiotic use, birth weight and DMR methylation
             fractions.After adjusting for infant gender, race/ethnicity,
             maternal body mass index, delivery route, gestational weight
             gain, gestational age at delivery, folic acid intake,
             physical activity, maternal smoking and parity, antibiotic
             use during pregnancy was associated with 138 g lower birth
             weight compared with non-antibiotic use (β-coefficient=-132.99,
             s.e.=50.70, P=0.008). These associations were strongest in
             newborns of women who reported antibiotic use other than
             penicillins (β-coefficient=-135.57, s.e.=57.38, P=0.02).
             Methylation at five DMRs, IGF2 (P=0.05), H19 (P=0.15),
             PLAGL1 (P=0.01), MEG3 (P=0.006) and PEG3 (P=0.08), was
             associated with maternal antibiotic use; among these, only
             methylation at the PLAGL1 DMR was also associated with birth
             weight.We report an inverse association between in utero
             exposure to antibiotics and lower infant birth weight and
             provide the first empirical evidence supporting imprinted
             gene plasticity in these associations.},

   Abstract = {BACKGROUND: The workplace can be an important setting for
             addressing obesity. An increasing number of employers offer
             weight management programs. PURPOSE: Present the design,
             rationale and baseline characteristics of the Steps to
             Health study (STH), a randomized trial to evaluate the
             effectiveness of two preexisting employee weight management
             programs offered at Duke University and Medical Center.
             METHODS: 550 obese (BMI ≥30) employee volunteers were
             randomized 1:1 to two programs. Baseline data, collected
             between January 2011 and July 2012, included height/weight,
             accelerometry, workplace injuries, health care utilization,
             and questionnaires querying socio-cognitive factors,
             perceptions of health climate, physical activity, and
             dietary intake. In secondary analyses participants in the
             two programs will also be compared to a non-randomized
             observational control group of obese employees. RESULTS: At
             baseline, the mean age was 45 years, 83% were female, 41%
             white, and 53% black. Mean BMI was 37.2. Participants
             consumed a mean of 2.37 servings of fruits and vegetables
             per day (in the past week), participated in 11.5 min of
             moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and spent 620 min
             being sedentary. CONCLUSION: STH addresses the need for
             evaluation of worksite interventions to promote healthy
             weight. In addition to having direct positive effects on
             workers' health, worksite programs have the potential to
             increase productivity and reduce health care
             costs.},

             z-score at 24 months in a diverse community-based sample of
             dual parent families (n = 213) were examined.Participants
             were mothers who had recently completed a randomized trial
             of weight loss for overweight/obese postpartum women. As
             measures of childhood appetitive traits, mothers completed
             subscales of the Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire,
             including Desire to Drink (DD), Enjoyment of Food (EF), and
             Satiety Responsiveness (SR), and a 24-h dietary recall for
             their child. Heights and weights were measured for all
             children and mothers and self-reported for mothers'
             partners. The relationship between children's appetitive
             traits and parental obesity on toddler weight gain and BMI
             z-score were evaluated using multivariate linear regression
             models, controlling for a number of potential

             weight gain from birth to 24 months independent of childhood
             appetitive traits, and although significant associations
             were found between appetitive traits (DD and SR) and child
             BMI z-score at 24 months, these associations were observed
             only among children who had two obese parents. When both
             parents were obese, increasing DD and decreasing SR were
             associated with a higher BMI z-score.The results highlight

   Abstract = {BACKGROUND: Obesity is a prominent problem in the United
             States and in North Carolina. One way of combating it is
             with community-engaged interventions that foster
             collaboration between health-oriented organizations and
             community residents. PURPOSE: Our purpose was to assemble a
             multifaceted group in Durham, North Carolina, to identify
             factors affecting obesity-related lifestyle behaviors;
             assess policies, resources, and the population's perception
             of the problem of obesity; and develop plans to improve
             health outcomes related to obesity. METHODS: A team
             consisting of more than 2 dozen partners was assembled to
             form Achieving Health for a Lifetime (AHL) in order to study
             and address obesity in the community, initially focusing on
             elementary school-age children. The team developed a
             resource guide by collecting information by telephone
             interviews of provider organizations; geospatial resource
             maps were created using high-resolution geographic
             information systems, Duke's Data Support Repository, and
             county and city records; and focus groups were conducted
             using the nominal group technique. RESULTS: The AHL team, in
             collaboration with 2 other teams focused on diabetes and
             cardiovascular disease, identified 32 resources for
             diabetes, 20 for obesity, and 13 for cardiovascular disease.
             Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the team
             identified an area of Durham that had only 1 supermarket,
             but 34 fast-food restaurants and 84 convenience stores.
             LIMITATIONS: The focus on particular neighborhoods means
             that the information obtained might not pertain to all
             neighborhoods. CONCLUSION: The AHL team was able to assemble
             a large community partnership in Durham that will allow the
             members of the community to continue to work toward making
             residents healthier. Communities facing similar challenges
             can learn from this experience.},

             assess maternal education/work status as a
             moderator.Methods:Overweight or obese mothers rePORted on
             the home PA and food environment (accessibility, role

             moderate-vigorous PA (MVPA) and sedentary time derived from

             time, and limiting access to unhealthy foods increased the
             healthy food intake score. Role modeling of healthy eating
             behaviors increased the healthy food intake score among
             children of mothers with no college education. Among
             children of mothers with no college education and not
             working, limiting access to unhealthy foods and role
             modeling reduced 'junk' food intake scores whereas parental
             policies supPORting family meals increased 'junk' food
             intake scores.Conclusions:To promote MVPA, parental policies
             supPORting child PA are warranted. Limited access to
             unhealthy foods and role modeling of healthy eating may
             improve the quality of the child's food intake. © 2013

   Abstract = {Background: Characterizing smoking behavior is important for
             informing etiologic models and targeting prevention efforts.
             This study explored the effects of both individual- and
             community-level variables in predicting cigarette use vs.
             non-use and level of use among adolescents as they
             transition into adulthood. Methods: Data on 14,779 youths
             (53% female) were drawn from the National Longitudinal Study
             of Adolescent Health (Add Health); a nationally
             representative longitudinal cohort. A cohort sequential
             design allowed for examining trajectories of smoking
             typologies from age 13 to 32 years. Smoking trajectories
             were evaluated by using a zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) latent
             growth analysis and latent class growth analysis modeling
             approach. Results: Significant relationships emerged between
             both individual- and community-level variables and smoking
             outcomes. Maternal and peer smoking predicted increases in
             smoking over development and were associated with a greater
             likelihood of belonging to any of the four identified
             smoking groups versus Non-Users. Conduct problems and
             depressive symptoms during adolescence were related to
             cigarette use versus non-use. State-level prevalence of
             adolescent smoking was related to greater cigarette use
             during adolescence. Conclusions: Individual- and
             community-level variables that distinguish smoking patterns
             within the population aid in understanding cigarette use
             versus non-use and the quantity of cigarette use into
             adulthood. Our findings suggest that efforts to prevent
             cigarette use would benefit from attention to both parental
             and peer smoking and individual well-being. Future work is
             needed to better understand the role of variables in the
             context of multiple levels (individual and community-level)
             on smoking trajectories. © 2013 Elsevier Ireland

             physical activity, and body composition were collected at
             baseline, 6, and 12 months. Results: All children (n=15)
             were, on average, 10.3 years of age at enrollment, and were
             fairly evenly distributed with regard to sex. Analyses
             revealed a significant difference between cases and controls
             with respect to the change in body mass index from baseline
             to 12 months (P=0.01). In addition, controls demonstrated a
             significantly greater increase in moderate-vigorous physical
             activity than the cases [229.8 metabolic equivalent of tasks
             (METs) vs. 23.5 METs]; indicating cases remained fairly
             inactive over the course of treatment. Conclusions: Our data
             corroborate previous findings that following treatment for
             ALL and lymphoma, childhood cancer survivors tend to be less
             active and at greater risk for obesity than their healthy
             peers. The present study, which assessed cases prospectively
             over a 12-month period during the early phases of treatment,
             extends prior reports by demonstrating that these outcomes
             are evident at an early stage in treatment. © 2013

   Abstract = {Objectives: Low birth weight (LBW) has been associated with
             common adult-onset chronic diseases, including obesity,
             cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes and some cancers.
             The etiology of LBW is multi-factorial. However, recent
             evidence suggests exposure to antibiotics may also increase
             the risk of LBW. The mechanisms underlying this association
             are unknown, although epigenetic mechanisms are
             hypothesized. In this study, we evaluated the association
             between maternal antibiotic use and LBW and examined the
             potential role of altered DNA methylation that controls
             growth regulatory imprinted genes in these associations.
             Methods: Between 2009-2011, 397 pregnant women were enrolled
             and followed until delivery. Prenatal antibiotic use was
             ascertained through maternal self-report. Imprinted genes
             methylation levels were measured at differentially
             methylated regions (DMRs) using bisulfite pyrosequencing.
             Generalized linear models were used to examine associations
             among antibiotic use, birth weight and DMR methylation
             fractions. Results: After adjusting for infant gender,
             race/ethnicity, maternal body mass index, delivery route,
             gestational weight gain, gestational age at delivery, folic
             acid intake, physical activity, maternal smoking and parity,
             antibiotic use during pregnancy was associated with 138 g
             lower birth weight compared with non-antibiotic use
             (β-coefficient=-132.99, s.e.=50.70, P=0.008). These
             associations were strongest in newborns of women who
             reported antibiotic use other than penicillins
             (β-coefficient=-135.57, s.e.=57.38, P=0.02). Methylation at
             five DMRs, IGF2 (P=0.05), H19 (P=0.15), PLAGL1 (P=0.01),
             MEG3 (P=0.006) and PEG3 (P=0.08), was associated with
             maternal antibiotic use; among these, only methylation at
             the PLAGL1 DMR was also associated with birth weight.
             Conclusion: We report an inverse association between in
             utero exposure to antibiotics and lower infant birth weight
             and provide the first empirical evidence supporting
             imprinted gene plasticity in these associations. © 2013

   Abstract = {Depressed mood in pregnancy has been linked to low birth
             weight (LBW, < 2,500 g), a risk factor for adult-onset
             chronic diseases in offspring. We examined maternal
             depressed mood in relation to birth weight and evaluated the
             role of DNA methylation at regulatory sequences of imprinted
             genes in this association. We measured depressed mood among
             922 pregnant women using the CES-D scale and obtained birth
             weight data from hospital records. Using bisulfite
             pyrosequencing of cord blood DNA from 508 infants, we
             measured methylation at differentially methylated regions
             (DMRs) regulating imprinted genes IGF2/H19, DLK1/MEG3, MEST,
             PEG3, PEG10/SGCE, NNAT and PLAGL1. Multiple regression
             models were used to examine the relationship between
             depressed mood, birth weight and DMR methylation levels.
             Depressed mood was associated with a more that 3-fold higher
             risk of LBW, after adjusting for delivery mode, parity,
             education, cigarette smoking, folic acid use and preterm
             birth. The association may be more pronounced in offspring
             of black women and female infants. Compared with infants of
             women without depressed mood, infants born to women with
             severe depressed mood had a 2.4% higher methylation at the
             MEG3 DMR. Whereas LBW infants had 1.6% lower methylation at
             the IGF2 DMR, high birth weight (> 4,500 g) infants had 5.9%
             higher methylation at the PLAGL1 DMR compared with normal
             birth weight infants. Our findings confirm that severe
             maternal depressed mood in pregnancy is associated with LBW,
             and that MEG3 and IGF2 plasticity may play important
             roles.},

   Abstract = {OBJECTIVE: Parenting styles such as authoritarian,
             disengaged, or permissive are thought to be associated with
             greater adolescent obesity risk than an authoritative style.
             This study assessed the relationship between parenting
             styles and changes in body mass index (BMI) from adolescence
             to young adulthood. METHOD: The study included self-reported
             data from adolescents in the National Longitudinal Study of
             Adolescent Health. Factor mixture modeling, a data-driven
             approach, was used to classify participants into parenting
             style groups based on measures of acceptance and control.
             Latent growth modeling (LGM) identified patterns of
             developmental changes in BMI. After a number of potential
             confounders were controlled for, parenting style variables
             were entered as predictors of BMI trajectories. Analyses
             were also conducted for male and female individuals of 3
             racial-ethnic groups (Hispanic, black, white) to assess
             whether parenting styles were differentially associated with
             BMI trajectories in these 6 groups. RESULTS: Parenting
             styles were classified into 4 groups: authoritarian,
             disengaged, permissive, and balanced. Compared with the
             balanced parenting style, authoritarian and disengaged
             parenting styles were associated with a less steep average
             BMI increase (linear slope) over time, but also less
             leveling off (quadratic) of BMI over time. Differences in
             BMI trajectories were observed for various genders and
             races, but the differences did not reach statistical
             significance. CONCLUSION: Adolescents who reported having
             parents with authoritarian or disengaged parenting styles
             had greater increases in BMI as they transitioned to young
             adulthood despite having a lower BMI trajectory through
             adolescence.},

   Abstract = {Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
             (ADHD) smoke cigarettes at higher rates and have greater
             difficulty quitting than their non-diagnosed peers. This
             study examined differences between smokers with and without
             ADHD on a range of smoking-related variables. Twenty-two
             subjects with ADHD and 22 controls completed self-report
             measures of withdrawal symptoms, smoking motivation, sensory
             experience of smoking, and positive and negative affect.
             Compared to control smokers, smokers with ADHD reported
             greater craving and negative affect; perceived smoking as
             providing greater enhancement of concentration and
             alertness, as more calming, and as providing a greater
             decrease in irritability; found cigarette puffs to be more
             enjoyable and satisfying; and rated smoking as providing
             greater positive and negative reinforcement and greater
             cognitive enhancement. Women with ADHD reported the greatest
             effects of smoking on improving concentration and reducing
             irritability. Findings support the hypothesis that smokers
             with ADHD may experience smoking differently than smokers
             without the disorder, and that they may identify different
             motivations for smoking.},

   Abstract = {Initial reactions to cigarettes predict later regular
             smoking. Symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity
             disorder (ADHD) have also been shown to increase smoking
             risk and may moderate the relationship between genotype and
             smoking. We conducted an exploratory study to assess whether
             ADHD symptoms interact with genetic variation to predict
             self-reported initial reactions to smoking.Participants were
             a subsample of 1,900 unrelated individuals with genotype
             data drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of
             Adolescent Health (Add Health), a nationally representative
             sample of adolescents followed from 1995 to 2002. Linear
             regression was used to examine relationships among
             self-reported ADHD symptoms, genotype, and self-reported
             initial reactions to cigarettes (index scores reflecting
             pleasant and unpleasant reactions).Polymorphisms in the DRD2
             gene, SLC6A4 gene, and among males, the MAOA gene interacted
             with retrospective reports of ADHD symptoms in predicting
             pleasant initial reaction to cigarettes. Polymorphisms in
             the CYP2A6 gene and, among females, the MAOA gene interacted
             with retrospective reports of ADHD symptoms in predicting
             unpleasant initial reaction to cigarettes. No main effect
             for any of these polymorphisms was observed nor were any
             interactions with DRD4 and DAT genes.These findings suggest
             that genotypes associated with monoamine neurotransmission
             interact with ADHD symptoms to influence initial reactions
             to cigarette smoking. Given that an initial pleasant
             reaction to cigarettes increases risk for lifetime smoking,
             these results add to a growing body of literature that
             suggests that ADHD symptoms increase risk for smoking and
             should be accounted for in genetic studies of
             smoking.},

   Abstract = {Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly
             heterogeneous disorder, and the phenotypic structure
             comprising inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive type
             symptoms has been the focus of a growing body of recent
             research. Methodological studies are needed to better
             characterize phenotypes to advance research as well as
             clinical practice. A large U.S. population-based sample of
             young adults (N = 14,307, aged 17-28 years, 52.8% female)
             retrospectively reported their experiences of childhood ADHD
             symptoms. Factor analysis, latent class analysis, and factor
             mixture modeling of ADHD symptoms were compared to determine
             which underlying structure best fit the data. Fit statistics
             as well as substantive criteria compared models within and
             across model subtypes. Analyses supported a two-factor
             two-class structure for both male and female subjects. The
             two latent factors represented inattentive and
             hyperactive-impulsive symptom dimensions. The two latent
             classes divided people into a smaller affected class and a
             larger unaffected class. Individuals who reported having
             been diagnosed with ADHD were more likely to be in the
             affected class (OR male subjects = 4.03, 95% CI [2.65,
             6.13]; OR female subjects = 5.65, 95% CI [3.15, 10.10]).
             This work aids in the understanding of ADHD symptomatology
             within the population; a majority of people experience very
             low symptom severity, whereas a minority of people
             experience high symptom severity. Within this high symptom
             group, however, variability in symptom experiences exists.
             Empirical models can be helpful in clarifying ADHD
             phenotypic structure that has the potential to advance
             research on the etiology and consequences of ADHD
             symptoms.},

             rating, and price was extracted from iTunes on September 25,
             2009. Apps (n = 204) were coded for adherence to 13
             evidence-informed practices for weight control. Latent class
             analysis was used to identify subgroups of apps based on
             endorsement practices. Only a small percentage of apps had
             five or more of the 13 practices (15%). Latent class
             analysis revealed three main types of apps: diet, physical
             activity, and weight journals (19%); dietary advice and
             journals (34%); and weight trackers (46%). User ratings were
             not associated with apps from these three classes. Many apps
             have insufficient evidence-informed content. Research is
             needed that seeks to develop, improve, and evaluate these
             apps.},

             independently been associated with food consumption.
             Depressive symptoms could synergistically interact with
             genetic variation to influence food intake. We examined the
             interaction between high depressive symptoms and functional
             polymorphisms of dopamine transporter (SLC6A3), monoamine
             oxidase A (MAOA), dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) and dopamine
             receptor D4 (DRD4) on intake of high-calorie sweet,
             high-calorie non-sweet, and low-calorie foods in the
             National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add
             Health). Multivariate linear regression analyses were used
             to examine main effects of gene and depression symptoms and
             their interaction (genotype-by-high depression symptoms) on
             food categories. Applying a false discovery rate criterion
             for multiple comparisons indicated a statistically
             significant interaction for females with high depressive
             symptoms and the SLC6A3 gene, such that those with the
             SLC6A3 10/10 allele reported greater intake of high-calorie
             sweet foods than their counterparts high in depressive
             symptoms with the SLC6A3 any 9 allele (LS mean 10/10
             allele=2.5, SE=.13; LS mean any 9 allele=1.8, SE=.13,
             p<.05). These findings highlight that the relationship
             between depression and food intake may vary as a function of
             genetic polymorphism. Further research is needed to confirm
             these findings.},

   Abstract = {To examine the associations between attention-deficit/hyperactivity
             disorder (ADHD) symptoms, obesity and hypertension in young
             adults in a large population-based cohort.The study
             population consisted of 15,197 respondents from the National
             Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a nationally
             representative sample of adolescents followed from 1995 to
             2009 in the United States. Multinomial logistic and logistic
             models examined the odds of overweight, obesity and
             hypertension in adulthood in relation to retrospectively
             reported ADHD symptoms. Latent curve modeling was used to
             assess the association between symptoms and naturally
             occurring changes in body mass index (BMI) from adolescence
             to adulthood.Linear association was identified between the
             number of inattentive (IN) and hyperactive/impulsive (HI)
             symptoms and waist circumference, BMI, diastolic blood
             pressure and systolic blood pressure (all P-values for trend
             <0.05). Controlling for demographic variables, physical
             activity, alcohol use, smoking and depressive symptoms,
             those with three or more HI or IN symptoms had the highest
             odds of obesity (HI 3+, odds ratio (OR)=1.50, 95% confidence
             interval (CI) = 1.22-2.83; IN 3+, OR = 1.21, 95% CI =
             1.02-1.44) compared with those with no HI or IN symptoms. HI
             symptoms at the 3+ level were significantly associated with
             a higher OR of hypertension (HI 3+, OR = 1.24, 95% CI =
             1.01-1.51; HI continuous, OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.00-1.09),
             but associations were nonsignificant when models were
             adjusted for BMI. Latent growth modeling results indicated
             that compared with those reporting no HI or IN symptoms,
             those reporting 3 or more symptoms had higher initial levels
             of BMI during adolescence. Only HI symptoms were associated
             with change in BMI.Self-reported ADHD symptoms were
             associated with adult BMI and change in BMI from adolescence
             to adulthood, providing further evidence of a link between
             ADHD symptoms and obesity.},

   Abstract = {Studies on parent-child correlations of physical activity
             have been mixed. Few studies have examined concurrent
             temporal patterns of physical activity and sedentary
             behaviors in parents and children using direct measures. The
             purpose of this study was to examine parent-child activity
             correlations by gender, day of week, and time of day, using
             accelerometers - a method for direct assessment of physical
             activity.Accelerometers were used to assess physical
             activity and sedentary time in 45 fathers, 45 mothers and
             their children (23 boys, 22 girls, mean age 9.9 years) over
             the course of 4 days (Thursday - Sunday). Participants were
             instructed to wear accelerometers for 24 hours per day. Data
             from accelerometers were aggregated into waking hours on
             weekdays and weekends (6:00 am to midnight) and weekday
             after-school hours (3:00 - 7:00 pm).Across the 4 days, the
             mean minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous physical
             activity (MVPA) for fathers was 30.0 (s.d. = 17.3), for
             mothers was 30.1 (s.d. = 20.1) and for children was 145.47
             (s.d. = 51.64). Mothers' and fathers' minutes of MVPA and
             minutes of sedentary time were positively correlated with
             child physical activity and sedentary time (all ps < .05,
             with the exception of mothers' and children's sedentary time
             on weekdays from 6 am to 12 am). Multivariate linear
             regression analyses resulted in significant effects between
             parents and children for MVPA across all time segments. For
             sedentary activity, significant associations were observed
             only between father and child on the weekend. Sedentary
             activity of parents and children were not related for other
             time segments. Models examining the associations of one or
             two parents with high levels of MVPA or sedentary time
             indicated a dose response increase in child activity
             relative to parent.Greater parental MVPA was associated with
             increased child MVPA. In addition, having two parents with
             higher levels of MVPA was associated with greater levels of
             activity in children. Sedentary time in children was not as
             strongly correlated with that of their parents. Findings
             lend support to the notion that to increase childhood
             activity levels it may be fruitful to improve physical
             activity among parents.},

             team participation, and physical activity, controlling for
             demographic factors.Child 7-day physical activity, sport
             teams, weekly TV, computer.Parent-child attitude congruence
             was more prevalent among boys, and attitudes varied by
             ethnicity, parent education, and number of children.
             Positive parent-child attitudes for vigorous team sports
             were related to increased team participation and physical
             activity, as well as reduced TV and computer in boys and
             girls. Value of moderate intensity household chores, such as
             cleaning house and doing laundry, was related to decreased
             team participation and increased TV in boys. Only organized
             team sports, not general physical activity, was related to
             reduced TV and computer.Results support parents' role in
             socializing children's achievement task values, affecting
             child activity by transferring specific attitudes. Value of
             vigorous intensity sports provided the most benefits to
             activity and reduction of sedentary behavior, while valuing
             household chores had unexpected negative
             effects.},

             transmission have both been associated with body mass index
             (BMI), but their interaction effects are not well
             understood. We examined the interaction between depressive
             symptoms and functional polymorphisms of serotonin
             transporter (SLC6A4) and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) on
             categories of BMI. Participants were from the National

             growth into adolescence and early adulthood may re-present a
             'cumulative risk' for later adult-onset cancers. We review a
             number of epidemiologic studies that have examined
             associations among childhood and adolescent body size, diet,

             types, such as premenopausal breast, ovarian, endometrial,
             colon and renal cancer, adversely affect cancer-related
             morbidities, and increase mortality. Continued research is
             needed to further determine and refine how timing and degree
             of such exposures in early childhood and adolescence relate

             changes in eight psychosocial variables following

             gender, age, length of stay, and body mass index (BMI) in
             these changes. METHODS: This was an observational and
             self-report study of 130 participants (mean age = 12.8; mean
             BMI = 33.5; 70% female; 77% Caucasian). The program
             consisted of an 1800 kcal/day diet, daily supervised
             physical activities, cooking/nutrition classes, and weekly
             psycho-educational/support groups led by psychology staff.
             Participants completed measures of anti-fat attitudes,
             values (e.g., value placed on appearance, athletic ability,
             popularity), body- and self-esteem, weight- and
             health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and
             depressive symptoms. RESULTS: Participants experienced
             significant BMI reduction (average decrease of 7.5 kg
             [standard deviation, SD = 4.2] and 2.9 BMI points [SD =

             assigned to receive a 10-month program of tailored mailed

   Abstract = {OBJECTIVE: Given links between obesity and cancer, we
             estimated incident cancer burden due to overweight and
             obesity at the state level in the United States. METHODS AND
             PROCEDURES: Using state rankings by per capita burden of
             incident cancer cases diagnosed in 2003 that were related to
             overweight and obesity, we examined the frequency with which
             states ranked in the highest and lowest quintiles of
             weight-related burden for cancers of the postmenopausal
             breast, endometrium, kidney, colon, and prostate. In this
             study, data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
             System (BRFSS), US Census, US Mortality Public Use Data
             Tapes, and National Cancer Institute Surveillance,
             Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program were used.
             RESULTS: Western states had the lowest weight-related cancer
             burden for both sexes. Iowa, South Dakota, and West Virginia
             had the highest burden for all three types of male cancers.
             West Virginia is the only state that ranked in the quintile
             of highest weight-related burden for all four cancers
             considered in women. DISCUSSION: For certain cancers,
             including endometrial, postmenopausal breast, and colon
             cancers, states with high burdens clustered in geographic
             regions, warranting further inquiry. Although state ranks
             for the total cancer burden and the prevalence of overweight
             and obesity correlated with state ranks for weight-related
             incident cancer burden, they often served poorly as its
             proxy. Such a finding cautions against simply targeting
             states with high overweight and obesity or high total
             burdens of cancers for which overweight and obesity are risk
             factors, as this approach may not reach areas of
             unrecognized burden.},

   Abstract = {To evaluate the relation between smoking and trauma exposure
             in a population-based, longitudinal sample. Contrary to
             current smoking trends in the general population, recent
             findings indicate continued high smoking rates in
             trauma-exposed samples.A nationally representative sample of
             15,197 adolescents was followed from 1995 (mean age, 15.6
             years) to 2002 (mean age, 22 years) as part of three waves
             of The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add
             Health). We examined the relation between self-reported
             trauma exposure and smoking behaviors (lifetime regular,
             current regular), nicotine dependence based on the
             Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND), number of
             cigarettes smoked per day, and age of onset of regular
             smoking.Controlling for demographics and depressive
             symptoms, exposure to traumatic events yielded a significant
             increase in the odds of lifetime regular smoking. Nicotine
             dependence and cigarettes smoked per day was also
             significantly related to exposure to childhood physical and
             sexual abuse. Decreased age of regular smoking onset was
             seen for those reporting childhood physical abuse and
             childhood sexual abuse.Exposure to traumatic life events
             during childhood and young adulthood increases the risk of
             smoking, highlighting the need to prevent and treat tobacco
             use in this vulnerable population.},

   Abstract = {OBJECTIVE: This study addressed the hypothesis that
             variation in genes associated with dopamine function
             (SLC6A3, DRD2, DRD4), serotonin function (SLC6A4, and
             regulation of monoamine levels (MAOA) may be predictive of
             BMI categories (obese and overweight + obese) in young
             adulthood and of changes in BMI as adolescents transition
             into young adulthood. Interactions with gender and
             race/ethnicity were also examined. METHODS AND PROCEDURES:
             Participants were a subsample of individuals from the
             National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add
             Health), a nationally representative sample of adolescents
             followed from 1995 to 2002. The sample analyzed included a
             subset of 1,584 unrelated individuals with genotype data.
             Multiple logistic regressions were conducted to evaluate the
             associations between genotypes and obesity (BMI > 29.9) or
             overweight + obese combined (BMI > or = 25) with normal
             weight (BMI = 18.5-24.9) as a referent. Linear regression
             models were used to examine change in BMI from adolescence
             to young adulthood. RESULTS: Significant associations were
             found between SLC6A4 5HTTLPR and categories of BMI, and
             between MAOA promoter variable number tandem repeat (VNTR)
             among men and categories of BMI. Stratified analyses
             revealed that the association between these two genes and
             excess BMI was significant for men overall and for white and
             Hispanic men specifically. Linear regression models
             indicated a significant effect of SLC6A4 5HTTLPR on change
             in BMI from adolescence to young adulthood. DISCUSSION: Our
             findings lend further support to the involvement of genes
             implicated in dopamine and serotonin regulation on energy
             balance.},

   Abstract = {Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms are
             associated with an increased risk of smoking, and genetic
             studies have identified similar candidate genes associated
             with both ADHD and smoking phenotypes. This paper addresses
             the question of whether ADHD symptoms interact with
             candidate gene variation to predict smoking risk.
             Participants were a subsample of individuals from the
             National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add
             Health), a nationally representative sample of adolescents
             followed from 1995 to 2002. The sample analyzed included a
             subset from Add Health of 1,900 unrelated individuals with
             genotype data. Multiple logistic regression was used to
             examine relationships between self-reported ADHD symptoms,
             genotype, and lifetime history of regular smoking.
             Polymorphisms in the DRD2 gene and, among females, the MAOA
             gene interacted with retrospective reports of ADHD symptoms
             in contributing to risk for smoking. Trends were observed
             for interactions between the DRD4 gene and, among males, the
             MAOA gene and ADHD symptoms to predict smoking risk. No main
             effect for any of these polymorphisms was observed. We
             observed neither main effects nor interactions with CYP2A6,
             DAT, and SLC6A4 genes. These findings suggest that genotypes
             associated with catecholamine neurotransmission interact
             with ADHD symptoms to contribute to smoking
             risk.},

             disorder (ADHD) symptoms and progression to smoking and the
             association with nicotine dependence. METHODS: Study sample
             consisted of a nationally representative cohort of U.S.
             adolescents (n = 13,494). Logistic regression was used to
             examine ADHD symptoms from both the inattentive (IN) and
             hyperactive-impulsive (HI) domains and smoking trajectories.
             Linear regression was used to examine nicotine dependence.
             RESULTS: HI symptoms were associated with progression from
             nonsmoking to regular smoking (OR = 1.14, 95% CI =
             1.07-1.21), and with progression from experimentation to
             regular smoking (OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.08-1.26). IN and HI
             symptoms were associated with nicotine dependence among

             with a healthy community control sample. METHODS:
             Participants included 80 mothers and their children. Half of
             the mothers had breast cancer or a history of breast cancer.
             Children in both groups ranged in age from 8 to 19 years.
             Assessments included measures of maternal stressors and
             resources, maternal and child adjustment and posttraumatic
             stress, and maternal coping and illness uncertainty reported
             by both mothers and their children. RESULTS: Few differences
             were found between the groups, although there was a trend
             for girls of mothers with breast cancer to have a higher
             frequency of depressive symptoms. Children of mothers who
             perceived support from friends and family had fewer

             have made prevention a high public health priority. Policy
             strategies for curtailing obesity have been recommended, yet
             there has been little research on the degree of public
             support for policy-level interventions. METHODS:
             Participants for this study included 1139 respondents who
             were surveyed as part of the Research Triangle Institute
             Obesity Telephone Survey conducted in September 2004.
             Participants were asked to indicate to what degree they
             favor specific healthcare and work policy strategies for
             treating and preventing adult obesity. Participants were
             also asked about their beliefs regarding the causes of
             obesity. RESULTS: A majority (85%) favored a policy change
             strategy that offered employers tax breaks if they provided
             adequate exercise facilities in the workplace. Seventy-three
             percent favored a move by healthcare companies to require
             obesity treatment and prevention. The same proportion (72%)
             favored beneficiary discounts by employers or healthcare
             companies to motivate individuals to maintain or move toward
             a healthy weight. Majorities endorsed a lack of willpower
             and the cost of healthy food as causes. Nearly two thirds
             did not believe genes or lack of knowledge was related to
             obesity in society, and the sample was split with regard to
             the belief that obesity is caused by society. CONCLUSIONS:
             The findings suggest that there is strong support for
             healthcare and employment policies in obesity prevention and
             treatment. These findings may be important to policymakers
             in developing population-based strategies to prevent

   Abstract = {Specific memory deficits, reduced intellectual processing
             speed, and a variety of social and behavioral problems have
             been implicated as long-term effects of cranial radiation
             therapy (CRT). These deficits are thought to be related to
             changes in brain cytology and structure associated with
             microvascular aberrations. N-3 fatty acids may serve as
             protectants in pediatric patients who receive CRT for brain
             tumors. Timed-pregnant rat dams were fed one of four diets
             that were identical in all respects, except for their
             essential fatty acid content. The dams were placed on these
             diets at the beginning of the third trimester of gestation
             and their pups remained on them throughout the study. The
             rats' behavioral response as judged by acoustic startle
             response (ASR) and neurocognitive response (performance in a
             radial maze, RM) were evaluated in relation to diet, gender,

             rats will show greater CRT-induced neurocognitive and
             behavioral deficits; (2) dietary n-3 fatty acids will
             diminish CRT-induced neurocognitive and behavioral deficits;
             (3) gender-specific differences would be dampened by n-3
             fatty acids in the diet. All three hypotheses were partially
             supported. These findings are discussed in light of the

             churches (8 intervention and 6 control) with 470
             participants from the intervention churches and 285
             participants from the control churches. The outcome of FV
             intake and the proposed mediators were measured at baseline
             and at 6-month follow-up. Structural equation modeling
             indicated that the intervention had direct effects on social
             support, self-efficacy, and autonomous motivation; these
             variables also had direct effects on FV intake. Applying the
             M. E. Sobel (1982) formula to test significant mediated
             effects, the authors confirmed that social support and
             self-efficacy were significant mediators but that autonomous
             motivation was not. Social support and self-efficacy
             partially mediated 20.9% of the total effect of the
             intervention on changes in FV intake. The results support
             the use of strategies to increase social support and

   Abstract = {PURPOSE: Accelerometers are recognized as a valid and

             Despite the widespread use of accelerometers, there is no

             This paper a) reviews decision rules researchers have used
             in the past, b) compares the impact of using different
             decision rules on a common data set, and c) identifies

             METHODS: The methods sections of studies published in 2003
             and 2004 were reviewed to determine what decision rules
             previous researchers have used to identify wearing period,
             minimal wear requirement for a valid day, spurious data,
             number of days used to calculate the outcome variables, and
             extract bouts of moderate to vigorous physical activity
             (MVPA). For this study, four data reduction algorithms that
             employ different decision rules were used to analyze the
             same data set. RESULTS: The review showed that among studies
             that reported their decision rules, much variability was
             observed. Overall, the analyses suggested that using
             different algorithms impacted several important outcome
             variables. The most stringent algorithm yielded
             significantly lower wearing time, the lowest activity counts
             per minute and counts per day, and fewer minutes of MVPA per
             day. An exploratory sensitivity analysis revealed that the
             most stringent inclusion criterion had an impact on sample
             size and wearing time, which in turn affected many outcome

   Abstract = {CONTEXT: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has
             been associated with increased risk of smoking, and some
             studies have suggested that inattentive symptoms
             specifically may underlie this risk. Few studies, however,
             have examined ADHD symptoms in nonclinical samples to
             determine the extent to which the number of
             symptoms-independent of the full diagnosis-confer risk for
             smoking-related outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the
             relation between smoking-related variables and the number of
             retrospectively reported ADHD inattentive and
             hyperactive/impulsive symptoms in a population-based sample
             of young adults. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The
             study population consists of 15 197 eligible participants
             from wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of
             Adolescent Health, a nationally representative sample of
             adolescents followed from 1995 to 2002. MAIN OUTCOME
             MEASURES: Logistic regression was used to examine the
             relation between self-reported ADHD symptoms and the
             lifetime likelihood of being a regular smoker, defined by
             having smoked at least 1 cigarette a day for 30 days. For
             individuals reporting regular smoking, we also examined the
             extent to which ADHD symptoms predicted age at onset of
             regular smoking and number of cigarettes smoked. RESULTS: A
             linear relation was identified between the number of
             self-reported inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms
             and smoking outcome measures (P<.001 for each symptom
             domain). Controlling for demographic and conduct disorder
             symptoms, each reported inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity
             symptom significantly increased the likelihood of ever
             regular smoking (odds ratio [OR], 1.11; 95% confidence
             interval [CI], 1.08-1.14 and OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.13-1.19,
             respectively). For those reporting lifetime regular smoking,
             reported symptoms decreased the estimated age at onset and
             increased the number of cigarettes smoked. CONCLUSIONS:
             Self-reported ADHD symptoms were found to be associated with
             adult smoking outcome variables in this nationally
             representative sample, providing further evidence of a
             likely link between ADHD symptoms and risk for tobacco
             use.},

   Abstract = {In this study, we compared levels of posttraumatic stress
             symptoms (PTSS) and general psychological distress between
             parents of childhood cancer survivors and parents of
             children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). In this study,
             we also examined potential risk factors for PTSS.
             Participants included 47 parents of childhood cancer
             survivors and 31 parents of children with DM1. Participants
             completed self-report measures of posttraumatic stress,
             general psychological distress, coping strategies, social
             network size, and perceived illness uncertainty. Findings
             revealed that parents of children surviving cancer reported
             higher levels of PTSS and general distress than parents of
             children with DM1. In the total sample, lower levels of
             emotion-focused coping and greater perceived uncertainty
             were associated with increased frequency of both PTSS and
             general psychological distress after we accounted for
             demographic and illness variables. Having a child with
             cancer may increase the risk for experiencing PTSS.
             Interventions are warranted that focus specifically on the
             reduction of PTSS in parents of children surviving cancer.

             integrated health education curriculum implemented in six
             public middle schools. METHODS: Workshops on Planet Health
             implementation were attended by 129 teachers (language arts,
             math, science, and social studies) over three school years
             (1999-2000, 2000-2001, and 2001-2002). Questionnaires were
             administered post-implementation and in the fall and spring
             of each year. Outcomes were dose, acceptability,
             feasibility, and intent to continue use. RESULTS: The
             average number of lessons taught per teacher per year was
             1.7 to 3.1, compared to a goal of 2 to 3. Each year,
             teachers reported high acceptability and perceived
             feasibility of the intervention, and the majority indicated
             they intended to continue using the curriculum. CONCLUSIONS:
             Planet Health was feasible and acceptable in a participatory
             research model involving a public school-university
             partnership, and it was also sustainable independent of the

   Abstract = {Our study examined the relationship between parental
             overprotection and perceived child vulnerability to
             self-reported depressive symptoms in 8- to 12-year-old
             children diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. The
             moderating influence of parenting stress was also examined.
             Mothers (N = 43) completed measures of parental
             over-protection, perceived child vulnerability, and
             parenting stress, and the children completed a measure of
             child depression. Findings revealed that both child
             vulnerability and parenting stress were associated with
             higher levels of depressive symptoms; no relationship was
             found between overprotection and child depressive symptoms.
             Regression results further indicated that parenting stress
             moderated the relationship between perceived child
             vulnerability and depressive symptomotology. Thus, parenting
             stress appears to magnify the relationship between perceived
             child vulnerability and child-reported depressive symptoms.
             Our findings lend additional empirical support for the
             transactional relationship between discrete parenting
             variables and child distress. These results also support the
             view that overprotection and child vulnerability are
             distinct but overlapping constructs. Interventions that
             target specific parenting approaches and general parenting
             stress may be effective in ameliorating child
             distress.},

             levels of restraint) and perceived family functioning on the
             self-reported adjustment of children with cancer and their
             caregivers. Perceived quality of family relationships and
             supportiveness among family members were examined as a
             potential moderator on the association between repressive
             adaptation and self-reported adjustment. Participants were
             58 children surviving cancer and their caregivers. We
             conducted a multiple regression analysis to determine if
             perceived family relationships characterized by support
             would buffer the influence of repressive adaptation on
             self-reported adjustment difficulties. Results showed that
             the variable of perceived family relationships characterized
             by support moderated the association between repressive
             adaptation and adjustment for caregivers but not for

             Participants were 88 preadolescents recruited from a 6th
             grade classroom in a public elementary school. We found an
             interaction of risk-taking and susceptibility to peer
             influence on smoking tendency. Specifically, a moderator
             effect was found for peer influence on the association
             between risk-taking and smoking tendency. The importance of
             examining peer susceptibility on health promotion and other

             adjustment and quality of life in children who survive brain
             tumors. A total of 31 studies were reviewed. Findings are

             adjustment, internalizing behavior problems, externalizing
             behavior problems, social competence, correlates or

             reports in the literature on rates of psychological
             adjustment in this population vary widely. Limitations in

   Abstract = {Objective: To examine the relation of illness intrusiveness
             and illness uncertainty to psychological distress in
             patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Study Design:
             Participants were recruited from regional support groups and
             local neurologists. Participants completed self-report
             measures of illness intrusiveness, illness uncertainty, and
             psychological distress. Disease status was assessed by
             administration of a mental status exam and an index of
             ambulation. Participants: The sample included 78 (55 women,
             23 men) individuals diagnosed with MS. Main Outcome Measure:
             The Symptom Checklist - 90 - Revised Global Severity Index.
             Results: Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that
             illness intrusiveness and illness uncertainty independently
             predicted adjustment problems above and beyond demographic
             and illness variables. No mediator or moderator
             relationships were found for illness intrusiveness.
             Conclusions: Psychological appraisals of illness are salient
             predictors of adjustment even after statistically
             controlling for the influence of age, education, and
             objective indices of physical and cognitive
             impairment.},

   Abstract = {In this preliminary study we examined both posttraumatic
             stress and general distress among parents of children
             diagnosed with a brain tumor. Participants included 28
             parents of children diagnosed with a brain tumor who
             completed self-report measures of posttraumatic stress,
             general distress, coping, and illness uncertainty. Findings
             revealed that participants reported high levels of
             posttraumatic stress and general distress. Greater levels of
             emotion-focused coping and perceived uncertainty were
             associated with a higher frequency of both posttraumatic
             stress symptoms and general distress. However, perceived
             uncertainty was the strongest predictor of both indexes of
             distress. Emotion-focused coping predicted general distress,
             but not posttraumatic stress symptom severity. Overall,
             parents of children surviving a brain tumor appear to be a
             risk for both posttraumatic stress and general distress.
             Uncertainty in illness may constitute a primary risk factor
             for adjustment problems.},
