Disparities by household income and race/ethnicity: the utility of BMI for surveilling excess adiposity in children

Disparities in sleep duration among American children: effects of race and ethnicity, income, age, and sex

“…Even though BMI might not be an ideal measure for excess adiposity in children ( 38 ), we observed a negative association between BMI and TST, similar to prior findings in adults ( 21 , 39 ). In the ABCD dataset children with the higher BMI had lower TST.…”

Maternal Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Is Associated With Higher BMI Among Preschool-Aged Children: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Other researchers in the United States have identified an association: BMI was less differentiated between children from low-and middle-income households than between children from low-and high-income households, suggesting a proportional effect of increased income. 23 It is possible that the present study failed to detect differences by household income because of the high proportion of low-income households and limited sample size. However, the high proportion of dyads from low-income households may also help explain why so many women exhibited multiple CVD risk factors (n = 59 or 60% of mothers exhibited ‡2 CVD risk factors), as lower household income has previously been associated with higher CVD risk.…”

Age at Menarche is Inversely Related to the Prevalence of Common Gynecologic Cancers

“…An experiment by Moslshi et al in 2021 found an association between intake of plant and animal protein in childhood and age at menarche [32] . Waist circumference, BMI, moderate exercise time, PIR, energy intake, smoking and alcohol consumption were all associated with obesity indices [33][34][35] . In a 2022 study on obesity among Japanese adolescents, a positive association between low household income and obesity was found [35] .…”
