Article Synopsis
- * Researchers measured the growth of 2,475 infants at multiple points and analyzed data from medical records and parent questionnaires using linear regression to determine factors affecting weight gain patterns.
- * Results showed that birth weight and feeding type (breastfeeding vs. formula) were the key predictors for weight gain in the first six months, while other unidentified factors became more influential after that period.
Objective: To assess whether waist-to-height-ratio (WHtR) is a better estimate of body fat percentage (BF%) and a better indicator of cardiometabolic risk factors than BMI or waist circumference (WC) in young children.
Methods: WHtR, WC and BMI were measured by trained staff according to standardized procedures. (2)H2O and (2)H2(18)O isotope dilution were used to assess BF% in 61 children (3-7 years) from the general population, and bioelectrical impedance (Horlick equation) was used to assess BF% in 75 overweight/obese children (3-5 years).
Aim: To determine parental, especially paternal factors associated with the weight of the placenta and offspring.
Methods: This population-based birth-cohort study includes 2947 singleton children born from April 2006 to 2007 and living in Drenthe, The Netherlands. Placental weight and birth weight were measured and questionnaires were filled out for this cohort.
Background & Aim: Different non-invasive methods exist to evaluate total body fat in children. Most methods have shown to be able to confirm a high fat percentage in children with overweight and obesity. No data are available on the estimation of total body fat in non-obese children.

Methods: Repeated measurements of whole body reactance and resistance were assessed, using a 50kHz frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis, in 51 boys and 62 girls during infancy.
Aim: To assess the predictive value of early MRI and proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS), 11 full-term neonates with severe perinatal asphyxia were studied within 48 h after birth.
Methods: T(1)- and T(2)-weighted MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI), apparent diffusion coefficient of water (ADC) of the basal ganglia and parietal white matter, as well as (1)H-MRS of the basal ganglia were performed in a 1.5-Tesla magnetic field.
