Predicting childhood obesity using electronic health records and publicly available data.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Because of the strong link between childhood obesity and adulthood obesity comorbidities, and the difficulty in decreasing body mass index (BMI) later in life, effective strategies are needed to address this condition in early childhood. ...

Effect of a short-term physical activity intervention on liver fat content in obese children.

Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism = Physiologie appliquee, nutrition et metabolisme
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic liver disease and can present with advanced fibrosis or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a 7-day intense physical activity interventio...

Recovery Responses to Maximal Exercise in Healthy-Weight Children and Children With Obesity.

Research quarterly for exercise and sport
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine differences in heart rate recovery (HRRec) and oxygen consumption recovery (VO recovery) between young healthy-weight children and children with obesity following a maximal volitional graded exercise ...

Genetic Variation in CD36 Is Associated with Decreased Fat and Sugar Intake in Obese Children and Adolescents.

Journal of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Taste is recognized as an important predictor of food choices. Thus, polymorphisms in genes encoding taste receptors may explain the variability in food preference and intake. Here, we aimed to determine whether genetic variation in ...

Developing an Algorithm to Detect Early Childhood Obesity in Two Tertiary Pediatric Medical Centers.

Applied clinical informatics
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to develop an algorithm to accurately identify children with severe early onset childhood obesity (ages 1-5.99 years) using structured and unstructured data from the electronic health record (EHR).

Interpretable Probabilistic Latent Variable Models for Automatic Annotation of Clinical Text.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
We propose Latent Class Allocation (LCA) and Discriminative Labeled Latent Dirichlet Allocation (DL-LDA), two novel interpretable probabilistic latent variable models for automatic annotation of clinical text. Both models separate the terms that are ...

Exploring the forest instead of the trees: An innovative method for defining obesogenic and obesoprotective environments.

Health & place
Past research has assessed the association of single community characteristics with obesity, ignoring the spatial co-occurrence of multiple community-level risk factors. We used conditional random forests (CRF), a non-parametric machine learning appr...

Machine Learning Techniques for Prediction of Early Childhood Obesity.

Applied clinical informatics
OBJECTIVES: This paper aims to predict childhood obesity after age two, using only data collected prior to the second birthday by a clinical decision support system called CHICA.
