Zequn Zheng; Dihui Cai – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2025
Background: While observational studies have established a connection between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and heightened risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the causal relationships are not well-defined. This study is designed to examine the causality between ASD, ADHD, and CVD risk as well…

Al Banna, Md. Hasan; Brazendale, Keith; Hasan, Mehedi; Khan, Md Shafiqul Islam; Sayeed, Abu; Kundu, Satyajit – Journal of American College Health, 2022
Objectives: Overweight and obesity has an adverse effect on public health, and emerging adulthood (18-25 years) is recognized as a potential period for the onset of obesity, thus, this study aimed to explore risk factors associated with overweight and obesity in Bangladeshi university students. Participants: Bangladeshi university students (n =…

Gilmore, Daniel G.; Longo, Anne; Hand, Brittany N. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Obesity is linked with health and psychosocial outcomes among many populations. However, it is unclear the extent to which obesity is linked with these outcomes among autistic adults. We searched seven research databases for articles examining the association between obesity and autistic adults' health and psychosocial outcomes. Three studies…

The high level of consumption of processed foods has an effect on human health. The consumption of doughnuts, pastries, fried chicken, French fried potatoes, snack chips, and imitation cheese is high among teenagers. These foods are generally rich in fats, although the focus has often been on the quantity rather than the quality of these fats.…

Panjwani, Anita A.; Ji, Yuelong; Fahey, Jed W.; Palmer, Amanda; Wang, Guoying; Hong, Xiumei; Zuckerman, Barry; Wang, Xiaobin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
In contrast to the well-observed associations between obesity, diabetes, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the roles of maternal dyslipidemia and sex disparity in ASD have not been well-studied. We examined the joint associations of maternal plasma cholesterols, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and child sex on child ASD risk. We analyzed data…

DeHondt, Benjamin G.; Madi, Samar A.; Drignei, Dorin; Buchan, Duncan S.; Brown, Elise C. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
Identification of cardiometabolic risk (CMR) in U.S. younger population by assessing muscular strength via handgrip (HG) dynamometry may aid in prevention efforts. Currently, no nationally representative HG cut-points are available for identifying increased CMR in U.S. adolescents or young adults. In this study, we propose normalized grip strength…

Tomayko, Emily J.; Thompson, Paul N.; Smith, Madeleine C.; Gunter, Katherine B.; Schuna, John M., Jr. – Journal of School Health, 2021
Background: Four-day school week (FDSW) use has increased substantially among US districts in recent years, but limited data exist on health impacts of this school schedule. This study examined associations of reduced school exposure via FDSWs with adolescent health and risk behaviors, obesity, and food security. Methods: Self-report data from…

Kiani Asiabar, Azita; Amin Shokravi, Farkhondeh; Hajifaraji, Majid; Zayeri, Farid – Health Education Research, 2018
Gaining weight above the Institute of Medicine recommended range contributes to the development of obesity, which increases risk for diseases. We evaluated the effectiveness of an educational program with the spouse's participation on the optimal gestational weight gain (GWG) in pregnancy. We conducted a randomized controlled trial on 128…

Kahathuduwa, Chanaka N.; West, Blake; Mastergeorge, Ann – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Evidence on neurophysiological correlates of coexisting autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and overweight/obesity may elucidate mechanisms leading to the observed greater risk of obesity in children with ASD. An exploratory secondary data analysis was performed on resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data of children…

Dickson, Tracey J.; Gray, Tonia L. – Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 2022
Extant research reveals time in nature is causally associated with children's health and well-being, including a child's intra and interpersonal skills, socioemotional growth, physiological function, and cognitive development. In today's neoliberal and COVID-19 era, nature-based solutions, alongside a broader outdoor and experiential learning…

Michael R. Capawana – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2024
Childhood obesity is a prevalent health condition, the effects of which extend to mental health, social relationships, educational performance, and long-term physical health conditions. The present study focused on an optimized student support intervention that functions in predominantly high-poverty urban locations, which recognizes students as…

Blair, Clancy; Kuzawa, Christopher W.; Willoughby, Michael T. – Developmental Science, 2020
A well-established literature demonstrates executive function (EF) deficits in obese children and adults relative to healthy weight comparisons. EF deficits in obesity are associated with overeating and impulsive consumption of high calorie foods leading to excess weight gain and to problems with metabolic regulation and low-grade inflammation…

Spears, Erica C.; Guidry, Jeffrey J.; Harvey, Idethia S. – Health Education Research, 2018
There is a paucity in the literature examining the African American middle-class. Most studies of African Americans and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) have concentrated on lower-SES individuals, or make no distinction between African Americans of varying socio-economic positions. Middle-class African Americans are vulnerable in ways often…

Wilson, Shunderla; Whitworth, Brooke A. – Science Teacher, 2020
Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a heart attack (Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics 2017). Students may experience or be affected by several incidences of heart attacks throughout their life. As such, students should be aware of the risk factors and learn the underlying reasons for a heart attack. Most students believe they are…
