Key Factors In Student Weight - Impoverished Schools, Parent Education
Fri, 03 Feb 2012 09:00:00 +0100 | Health News from Medical News Today
Attending a financially poor school may have more of an effect on unhealthy adolescent weight than family poverty, according to Penn State sociologists. Poor schools even influence how parental education protects kids from becoming overweight. "It was once thought that family income was the main factor when we talk about the research on adolescent weight," said Molly Martin, assistant professor of sociology and demography. "That's not true. The environments the children live in play a key role in weight problems among adolescents... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Potatoes Lower Blood Pressure In Those With Obesity And Hypertension Without Increasing Weight
Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:00:00 +0100 | Health News from Medical News Today
The first study to check the effects of eating potatoes on blood pressure in humans has concluded that two small helpings of purple potatoes (Purple Majesty) a day decreases blood pressure by about 4 percent without causing weight gain. In a report in the ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the researchers say that decrease, although seemingly small, is sufficient to potentially reduce the risk of several forms of heart disease. Joe Vinson and colleagues point out that people in the U.S. eat more potatoes than any other vegetable... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Blood pressure and associated factors in a North African adolescent population. A national cross-sectional study in Tunisia
Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | BMC Public Health - Latest articles
Conclusion: Within the limits of BP measurement on one visit only, these results suggest that Tunisian adolescents of both genders are likely not spared from early elevated BP. Though further assessment is likely needed, the strong association with overweight/obesity observed suggests that interventions aimed at changing lifestyles to reduce this main risk factor may also be appropriate for the prevention of elevated BP.

Credible Mendelian Randomization Studies: Approaches for Evaluating the Instrumental Variable Assumptions
Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | American Journal of Epidemiology
As with other instrumental variable (IV) analyses, Mendelian randomization (MR) studies rest on strong assumptions. These assumptions are not routinely systematically evaluated in MR applications, although such evaluation could add to the credibility of MR analyses. In this article, the authors present several methods that are useful for evaluating the validity of an MR study. They apply these methods to a recent MR study that used fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) genotype as an IV to estimate the effect of obesity on mental disorder. These approaches to evaluating assumptions for valid IV analyses are not fail-safe, in that there are situations where the approaches might either fail to identify a biased IV or inappropriately suggest that a valid IV is biased. Therefore, the authors d...
