Background: The role of parental cardiorespiratory conditions on fracture risk is unclear. We examined the associations between parental cardiorespiratory conditions and offspring fracture risk.

Methods: In this population-based retrospective cohort study, we identified 279,085 offspring aged≥40 years between April 1, 1997 and December 31, 2015 with successful linkage to 273,852 mothers and 254,622 fathers. Parental cardiorespiratory conditions, including cerebral vascular disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and peripheral vascular disease, were ascertained using physician and hospital records dating back to 1979. The outcome was offspring incident major osteoporotic fracture (MOF).

Results: During an average of 11.8 years of offspring follow-up, we identified 8762 (3.1%) incident MOF. Either parent congestive heart failure (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-1.19) and COPD (adjusted HR: 1.12; 95% CI 1.07-1.17) were independently associated with increased offspring MOF risk; all their false discovery rates were <0.001. Similar risk estimates were observed when analyses were performed for fathers only, mothers only or both parents, in multivariable models with and without adjustment for offspring cardiorespiratory conditions, and stratified by offspring sex and offspring incident fracture site. Parental cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, ischemic heart disease and myocardial infarction were not associated with offspring MOF.

Conclusions: Parental congestive heart failure and parental COPD are independent risk factors for offspring MOF.

Objective: To examine the predictive strength of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), motor competence (MC), maternal educational status, and parental perception of their children's favorite leisure activities for meeting physical activity (PA) guidelines of each gender among children aged 3-6 years.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 367 preschoolers (53% girls), assessing CRF (PREFIT 20m shuttle run), MC (battery of motor skills), PA (accelerometry), maternal education and parental perception of children's preferred leisure (questionnaires). Factorial analysis of covariance, multiple logistic regression, and chi-square tests were conducted.

Background: Cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal disease are among the leading causes of disability in middle-aged and older people. Health and lifestyle factors in youth have known associations with cardiovascular or respiratory disease in adulthood, but largely unknown associations with musculoskeletal disease.

Methods And Findings: We included approximately 40,000 18-year-old Swedish males, who completed their conscription examination in 1969 to 1970, followed up until age of 60 years.

Background: Anakinra is an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). Since IL-1 has been shown to play a key role in the etiology of different autoinflammatory diseases, blocking its pathway has become an important therapeutic target, even in neonates.

Aims: We aimed to report our experience in using anakinra to treat specific neonatal inflammatory conditions.

Background: MyBFF@school program consisting physical activity in the formed small-sided games (SSG), nutrition and psychology education was designed to combat obesity among schoolchildren in Malaysia. It was expected to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, hence, contributing to obesity treatment and prevention. Thus, we aimed to study the effects of the MyBFF@school program on the cardiorespiratory fitness of overweight and obese primary schoolchildren.

Background: Physiological-based cord clamping (PBCC) in preterm infants is beneficial for cardiovascular transition at birth and may optimize placental transfusion. Whether PBCC can improve clinical outcomes is unknown. The aim of the Aeration, Breathing, Clamping (ABC3) trial was to test whether PBCC results in improved intact survival in very preterm infants.
