BMC Public Health . 2015 Apr; 15:361. PMID: 25884762
Background: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease associated with high morbidity, mortality and increased economic costs. Early prevention during adolescence appears to be one of the most beneficial practices. Exercise is...

Med Sci Sports Exerc . 2015 Feb; 47(10):2084-92. PMID: 25706294
Introduction: Contemporary adolescents are deemed inactive, especially girls, but whether for biological reasons associated with their maturation, changes in their behavior or because of environmental constraints, is uncertain. We examined...

Pediatr Diabetes . 2015 Feb; 15(3):214-9. PMID: 25705748
Objective: An HbA1c threshold of ≥ 6.5% has recently been adopted for the diagnosis of diabetes in adults, and of ≥ 5.7% to identify adults at risk. Little,however, is known...

Pediatr Diabetes . 2014 May; 15(3):244-51. PMID: 24827703
Lifestyle interventions to improve health in young children tend to target areas of relative deprivation, but the evidence for so doing is largely historical. Accordingly, we have re-examined the link...

Diabetes . 2014 Mar; 63(7):2528-37. PMID: 24622795
The early environment, acting via epigenetic processes, is associated with differential risk of cardiometabolic disease (CMD), which can be predicted by epigenetic marks in proxy tissues. However, such measurements at...
