Background: Weight loss reduces energy expenditure, but the contribution of different macronutrients to this change is unclear.
Hypothesis: We tested the hypothesis that macronutrient composition of the diet might affect the partitioning of energy expenditure during weight loss.
Design: A substudy of 99 participants from the Preventing Overweight Using Novel Dietary Strategies (POUNDS LOST) trial had total energy expenditure (TEE) measured by doubly labeled water, and resting energy expenditure (REE) measured by indirect calorimetry at baseline and repeated at 6 months in 89 participants.
Objective: To determine the efficacy of a 2-year obesity prevention program in African American girls.
Design: Memphis GEMS (Girls' health Enrichment Multi-site Studies) was a controlled trial in which girls were randomly assigned to an obesity prevention program or alternative intervention.
Setting: Local community centers and YWCAs (Young Women's Christian Associations) in Memphis, Tennessee.
Objective: To test a 2-year community- and family-based obesity prevention program for low-income African American girls: Stanford GEMS (Girls' health Enrichment Multi-site Studies).
Design: Randomized controlled trial with follow-up measures scheduled at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
Setting: Low-income areas of Oakland, California.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence and incidence of hypertension and prehypertension and associated factors in adolescent girls.
Study Design: A total of 2368 girls (49% Caucasian, 51% African-American) aged 9 or 10 years enrolled in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Growth and Health Study had blood pressure, height, and weight measured at annual visits through age 18 to 19 years. Prevalence and incidence of hypertension and prehypertension were calculated.
