Early-life childhood obesity risk prediction: A Danish register-based cohort study exploring the predictive value of infancy weight gain.

Background: Information on postnatal weight gain is important for predicting later overweight and obesity, but it is unclear whether inclusion of this postnatal predictor improves the predictive performance of a comprehensive model based on prenatal and birth-related predictors.

Objectives: To compare performance of prediction models based on predictors available at birth, with and without information on infancy weight gain during the first year when predicting childhood obesity risk.

Methods: A Danish register-based cohort study including 55.

Infancy weight gain, parental socioeconomic position, and childhood overweight and obesity: a Danish register-based cohort study.

Background: Rapid infant weight gain (RIWG) is a very strong predictor of childhood overweight and obesity (COO). Socioeconomic position (SEP) is also related to the risk of COO and parents of different SEP may differ in their reaction to accelerated infant weight gain. Together this could lead to differences in how weight gain and COO risk relate across SEP.

Associations between the structural and functional aspects of social relations and poor mental health: a cross-sectional register study.

Background: Social relations influence mental health through different pathways. To capture the complexity of social relations, it is beneficial to consider both the structural (e.g.

Alcohol consumption and mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)-a register-based cohort study.

Background: Previous studies have shown that compared with abstinence and heavy drinking, moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a reduced risk of mortality among the general population and patients with heart failure and myocardial infarction. We examined the association between alcohol consumption and mortality in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients.

Method: We studied 1,919 first-time CABG patients using data on alcohol consumption and mortality obtained from Danish national registers from March 2006 to October 2011.

The relationship between self-reported mental health and redeemed prescriptions of antidepressants: a register-based cohort study.

Background: Poor mental health is a major problem in most western societies, especially predominant among young adults. However, associations of self-reported poor mental health with subsequent psychiatric or medical treatment are unknown. We examined the relation between self-reported mental health and redeeming prescriptions of antidepressants among three age groups.
