OBJECTIVE: The aim with the present study was to evaluate the association between pubertal body mass index (BMI) change and adult coronary artery calcification (CAC) score and risk of acute coronary events. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We included 37 672 men from the BMI Epidemiology Study and calculated their pubertal BMI change (BMI at 20 years−BMI at 8 years). Coronary artery computed tomography analysis of CAC score, midlife BMI, and major risk factors for coronary heart disease were available for ...[more]

Project description:ImportanceThe incidence of ischemic stroke among young adults is rising and is potentially due to an increase in stroke risk factors occurring at younger ages, such as obesity.ObjectivesTo investigate whether childhood body mass index (BMI) and change in BMI are associated with adult ischemic stroke and to assess whether the associations are age dependent or influenced by birth weight.Design, setting, and participantsThis investigation was a population-based cohort study of schoolchildren born from 1930 to 1987, with follow-up through national health registers from 1977 to 2012 in Denmark. Participants were 307 677 individuals (8899 ischemic stroke cases) with measured weight and height at ages 7 to 13 years. The dates of the analysis were September 1, 2015, to May 27, 2016.Main outcomes and measuresChildhood BMI, change in BMI, and birth weight. Ischemic stroke events were divided into early (≤55 years) or late (>55 years) age at diagnosis.ResultsThe study cohort comprised 307 677 participants (approximately 49% female and 51% male). During the study period, 3529 women and 5370 men experienced an ischemic stroke. At all ages from 7 to 13 years, an above-average BMI z score was positively associated with early ischemic stroke. At age 13 years, a BMI z score of 1 was associated with hazard ratios (HRs) of 1.26 (95% CI, 1.11-1.43) in women and 1.21 (95% CI, 1.10-1.33) in men. No significant associations were found for below-average BMI z scores. Among children with above-average BMI z scores at age 7 years, a score increase of 0.5 from ages 7 to 13 years was positively associated with early ischemic stroke in women (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.01-1.20) and in men (HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.00-1.16). Similarly, among children with below-average BMI z scores at age 7 years, a score increase of 0.5 from ages 7 to 13 years was positively associated with early ischemic stroke in women (HR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.06-1.23) and in men (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.04-1.18). Adjusting for birth weight minimally affected the associations.Conclusions and relevanceIndependent of birth weight, above-average childhood BMI and increases in BMI during childhood are positively associated with early adult ischemic stroke. To avoid the occurrence of early ischemic stroke associated with childhood overweight and obesity, these results suggest that all children should be helped to attain and maintain healthy weights.

Project description:BackgroundWe examined whether body mass index (BMI) changes in adulthood, prior to disease onset, are associated with overall survival among esophageal adenocarcinoma patients.MethodsWe included 285 histologically confirmed patients with a complete baseline BMI questionnaire. Using extended Cox regression models, we obtained adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for the associations between overall survival and BMI at diagnosis, BMI 6 months before diagnosis, self-reported average adult BMI, and ΔBMI (BMI 6 months before diagnosis minus average adult BMI), categorized into tertiles <0 kg/m2 (BMI loss), ≥0 and <1.25 kg/m2 (stable BMI), and ≥1.25 kg/m2 (BMI gain). We also assessed interaction between ΔBMI and average adult BMI (≥ kg/m2 versus <27.5 kg/m2 ) with overall survival.ResultsBody mass index at diagnosis >25 and <35 kg/m2 was associated with better overall survival. Compared to patients with stable BMI in adulthood, patients who gained BMI throughout adulthood had 1.68 times the all-cause hazard of death (95% CI: 1.17-2.43; P < .01), independent of diagnosis BMI and percent weight loss 6 months before diagnosis. Compared to patients with average adult BMI < 27.5 who maintained stable adult BMI, patients with average adult BMI ≥ 27.5 kg/m2 who gained BMI had the worst survival (HR = 3.05; 95% CI 1.62-5.72; P < .01).ConclusionBody mass index gain in adulthood is associated with poor overall survival, and maintaining a normal body weight throughout adulthood is associated with the best overall survival among esophageal adenocarcinoma patients, independent of BMI at diagnosis.

Project description:BackgroundProstate cancer aetiology is poorly understood. It may have origins early in life; previously we found a positive association with childhood height. The effects of early life body mass index (BMI; kg m(-2)) on prostate cancer remain equivocal. We investigated if childhood BMI, independently and adjusted for height, is positively associated with adult prostate cancer.MethodsSubjects were a cohort of 125208 boys formed from the Copenhagen School Health Records Register, born 1930-1969 with height and weight measurements at 7-13 years. Cases were identified through linkage to the Danish Cancer Registry. Cox proportional hazards regressions were performed.ResultsOverall, 3355 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer. Body mass index during childhood was positively associated with adult prostate cancer. The hazard ratio of prostate cancer was 1.06 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.10) per BMI z-score at age 7, and 1.05 (95% CI: 1.01-1.10) per BMI z-score at age 13. Estimates were similar and significant at all other ages. However, adjustment for childhood height attenuated the associations at all but the youngest ages as most estimates became nonsignificant.ConclusionsThese results suggest that at most childhood ages, BMI does not confer an additional risk for prostate cancer beyond that of height.

Project description:Bone and muscle development are important processes in pubertal maturation. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between pubertal timing and bone density and body composition in young adult men. In this observational study, bone and body composition was cross-sectionally assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 2056 healthy young men with median age 19, who retrospectively self-reported if they experienced pubertal changes at an earlier, similar or later age than their peers. Associations between voice break timing and bone and body composition were analyzed by linear regression. Men reporting earlier voice break than their peers (n = 417, 20%) had higher lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) and higher total body BMD. Apart from higher BMI, there were no differences in body composition. Men who reported later voice break (n = 353, 17%) had lower lumbar bone mineral content, bone area and volume, but similar BMD. They had lower BMI, lean mass and fat mass, resulting in a lower fat-to-muscle ratio. In conclusion, even after adult height has been reached, physiological variations in pubertal timing were associated with differences in bone and body composition in young adult men.

Project description:BackgroundChildhood body mass index (BMI) predicts adult obesity. How growth trajectories during childhood relate to adult obesity risk is not well defined.ObjectiveWe aimed to characterize BMI growth trajectories from childhood to midlife and to examine the associations between BMI growth rates at childhood age points and adult obesity risk.MethodsThe longitudinal study included 2732 participants with repeated BMI measurements from childhood (4-19 y) to adulthood (20-51 y). A random-effects model was used to construct BMI growth curves by race and sex. Model-estimated levels and linear growth rates of BMI were linked to adult obesity in separate multivariable logistic regression models at individual childhood age points.ResultsBMI followed cubic growth curves. Childhood BMI linear slope estimates were higher in adults with obesity than in adults without obesity (P < 0.001). The association between childhood BMI growth rate and adult obesity was significantly higher in puberty and postpuberty (12-19 y) than in early childhood (4-11 y) with a peak at age 14 (odds ratio = 3.1 and 95% confidence interval, 2.7-3.5).ConclusionsRates of change in BMI at different childhood ages are differentially associated with adult obesity. Puberty and postpuberty are crucial periods for the development of obesity in later life.

Project description:To examine prospectively the relationships of prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), BMI at age 18 years, and weight change since age 18 years with risk of fetal loss.Our prospective cohort study included 25,719 pregnancies reported by 17,027 women in the Nurses' Health Study II between 1990 and 2009. In 1989, height, current weight, and weight at age 18 years were self-reported. Current weight was updated every 2 years thereafter. Pregnancies were self-reported, with case pregnancies lost spontaneously and comparison pregnancies ending in ectopic pregnancy, induced abortion, or live birth.Incident fetal loss was reported in 4,494 (17.5%) pregnancies. Compared with those of normal BMI, the multivariate relative risks of fetal loss were 1.07 (95% CI [confidence interval] 1.00-1.15) for overweight women, 1.10 (95% CI 0.98-1.23) for class I obese women, and 1.27 (95% CI 1.11-1.45) for class II and class III obese women (P trend ? .001). Body mass index at age 18 years was not associated with fetal loss (P trend=.59). Compared with women who maintained a stable weight (± 4 kg) between age 18 years and before pregnancy, women who lost weight had a 20% (95% CI 9-29%) lower risk of fetal loss. This association was stronger among women who were overweight at age 18 years.Being overweight or obese before pregnancy was associated with higher risk of fetal loss. In women overweight or obese at age 18 years, losing 4 kg or more was associated with a lower risk of fetal loss.: II.

Project description:BackgroundIt is still unclear whether body mass index (BMI) affects bleeding and cardiovascular events in patients requiring oral anticoagulants (OAC) for atrial fibrillation (AF) and antiplatelet agents after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between BMI and clinical events in patients who underwent PCI under OAC therapy for AF.MethodThis was a multicenter, observational cohort study conducted at 15 institutions in Japan. AF patients who underwent PCI with drug-eluting stents for CAD were retrospectively and prospectively included. Patients were divided into the Group 1 (BMI <21.3 kg/m2) and the Group 2 (BMI ≥21.3 kg/m2) according to the first-quartile value of BMI. The primary endpoint was net adverse clinical events (NACE), a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and major bleeding events within one year after index PCI procedure.ResultsIn the 720 patients, 180 patients (25.0%) had BMI value <21.3 kg/m2. While the rates of NACE and MACE were significantly higher in the Group 1 than the counterpart (21.1% vs. 11.9%, p = 0.003 and 17.2% vs. 8.9%, p = 0.004), that of major bleeding did not differ significantly between the 2 groups (5.6% vs. 4.3%, p = 0.54). The cumulative rate of NACE and MACE was significantly higher in the Group 1 than the Group 2 (both log-rank p = 0.002), although that of major bleeding events was equivalent between the 2 groups (log-rank p = 0.41). In multivariable Cox regression analyses, while BMI value <21.3 kg/m2 was not associated with major bleeding events, that cut-off value was an independent predictor for increased NACE and MACE.ConclusionsAmong the patients undergoing PCI for CAD and requiring OAC for AF, BMI value was a useful indicator to predict major adverse clinical events.

Project description:Metabolic risk varies within adult body mass index (BMI) categories; however, the development of BMI-specific metabolic risk from childhood is unknown.The sample included 895 adults (20-38 years of age; 43% male, 34% black) from the Bogalusa Heart Study (1995-2002), who had been measured as children (5-18 years of age) in 1981-1982. Adult metabolic risk was assessed using two definitions: Cardiometabolic risk factor clustering (RFC) included two or more abnormal risk factors [blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides, and fasting glucose] and insulin resistance (IR), comprising the top quartile of the homeostasis model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) distribution. Logistic regression, within BMI categories, was used to predict adult metabolic risk from childhood mean arterial pressure (MAP), HDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), glucose, and triglycerides. Covariates included childhood age, race, sex, adult BMI, and length of follow-up.The prevalence of the adult abnormal metabolic risk profile varied by definitions of metabolic risk (normal weight, 5%-9%; overweight, 15%-23%; and obese, 40%-53%). The adult abnormal profile was associated with higher childhood LDL-C [IR, odds ratio (OR), 1.95; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06-3.58) and insulin (IR, OR, 1.69; CI, 1.10-2.58) in normal-weight adults; lower childhood HDL-C in overweight adults (RFC, OR, 0.61; CI, 0.40-0.94); and higher childhood MAP (RFC, OR, 1.75; CI, 1.24-2.47) and glucose (IR, OR,1.38; CI, 1.06-1.81) in obese adults.Some childhood metabolic risk factors are moderately associated with adult BMI-specific metabolic risk profiles. The ability to identify children with high future adult cardiovascular risk may initiate early treatment options.

Project description:Excess weight is caused by multiple factors and has increased sharply in Switzerland since the 1990s. Its consequences represent a major challenge for Switzerland, both in terms of health and the economy. Until now, there has been no cross-dataset overview study on excess weight in adults in Switzerland. Therefore, our aim was to conduct the first synthesis on excess weight in Switzerland. We included all existing nationwide Swiss studies (eight total), which included information on body mass index (BMI). Mixed multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the associations between different socio-demographic, lifestyle cofactors and the World Health Organization (WHO) categories for BMI. Along with lifestyle factors, socio-demographic factors were among the strongest determinants of BMI. In addition, self-rated health status was significantly lower for underweight, pre-obese and obese men and women than for normal weight persons. The present study is the first to synthesise all nationwide evidence on the importance of several socio-demographic and lifestyle factors as risk factors for excess weight. In particular, the highlighted importance of lifestyle factors for excess weight opens up the opportunity for further public health interventions.

Project description:The relationship between risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and adult height, changes in individual body mass index (BMI) and body shape is not established. We performed a large population-based case-control study, which enrolled a total of 1414 ESCC cases and 1989 controls in a high-incidence area in China. Using face-to-face interview with a structured questionnaire, information on participants' heights, weights, and perceived body shapes at 20 years of age was collected. Additionally, data on weight and perceived body shape among the same participants 10 years prior to ascertainment were collected using the same method. Odd ratios (ORs) of ESCC risk in relation to BMI and body shape were estimated using unconditional logistic regression models. The adjusted results indicated that ESCC risk in adults rapidly rose as height increased, plateauing at 170 cm among men and 157 cm among women. Among participants who were underweight, normal weight, or thinner than body shape 4, body weight loss was associated with increased risk of ESCC, and body weight gain was associated with decreased incidence of ESCC (ORs ranging from 0.40 to 0.76). Notably, however, changes in body weight did not significantly affect ESCC risk among participants who were overweight, obese, or larger than body shape 3. Maintaining a fit body shape and a reasonable BMI is advisable and of vital importance to reduce the risk of ESCC, especially in high-risk areas.
