Relationship between submaximal oxygen uptake, detailed body composition, and resting energy expenditure in overweight subjects.

Objective: We investigated the impact of detailed body composition on aerobic fitness to determine whether regional components of fat mass have independent effects on VO2submax , and whether VO2submax and detailed body composition independently explain variation in REE.

Methods: 71 healthy adults (80% female, 20% male, BMI 28.2-43.

"läuft."--a school-based multi-component program to establish a physically active lifestyle in adolescence: study protocol for a cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Background: Physical activity during childhood and adolescence is associated with substantial health benefits and tracks into adulthood. Nevertheless, only 22.7% of German adolescents are sufficiently physically active.

Longitudinal influences of neighbourhood built and social environment on children's weight status.

The objective was to examine longitudinal 4-year-relationships between neighbourhood social environment and children's body mass index-standard deviation score (BMI-SDS) taking into account the built environment. Furthermore, we have analysed the influence of potential interactions between the social environment and family/social data on children's BMI-SDS. Between 2006-2008 and 2010-2012, anthropometric measurements were conducted among 485 children (age at baseline: 6.

Carbohydrate quality and quantity affect glucose and lipid metabolism during weight regain in healthy men.

In this controlled, parallel-group feeding trial, we examined the impact of carbohydrate (CHO) intake and glycemic index (GI) on glucose and lipid metabolism during refeeding after weight loss. Healthy men (n = 32 total, age: 25.5 ± 3.

Clustering of lifestyle factors and association with overweight in adolescents of the Kiel Obesity Prevention Study.

Objective: To identify lifestyle clusters in adolescents and to characterize their association with overweight and obesity.

Design: Cross-sectional and longitudinal data of the Kiel Obesity Prevention Study.

Setting: Schools in Kiel, Germany.

Determinants of the prevalence and incidence of overweight in children and adolescents.

Objective: To systematically analyse determinants of overweight prevalence and incidence in children and adolescents, as a basis of treatment and prevention.

Design: Cross-sectional and longitudinal data of the Kiel Obesity Prevention Study (KOPS).

Setting: Schools in Kiel, Germany.

Energy gain and energy gap in normal-weight children: longitudinal data of the KOPS.

Population-based prevention of overweight needs evidence-based goals consistent with our present knowledge about energy gap (i.e., daily imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure resulting in overweight).

Association of different obesity indices with blood pressure and blood lipids in children and adolescents.

The aim of the present study was to compare individual associations of BMI, triceps skinfold (TSF), waist circumference (WC) and percentage fat mass (%FM) with blood pressure (BP) and blood lipids in children and adolescents. Cross-sectional data on BMI, TSF, WC, %FM as well as on BP, TAG and HDL were analysed in 4220 (BP) and 729 (lipids) 9-11-year-old children and 3174 (BP) and 536 (lipids) 13-16-year-old adolescents as part of the Kiel Obesity Prevention Study. All obesity indices were similarly associated with BP and blood lipids.
