Validation of desk-based audits using Google Street View® to monitor the obesogenic potential of neighbourhoods in a pediatric sample: a pilot study in the QUALITY cohort

Author(s): Roberge JB; Contreras G; Kakinami L; Van Hulst A; Henderson M; Barnett TA;

Background: The suitability of geospatial services for auditing neighbourhood features relevant to pediatric obesity remains largely unexplored. Our objectives were to (i) establish the measurement properties of a desk-based audit instrument that uses Googl ...

Social gradients in ADHD by household income and maternal education exposure during early childhood: Findings from birth cohort studies across six countries

Author(s): Nicholas James Spencer

CONCLUSION: Findings indicate that children in families with high household income or maternal education are less likely to have ADHD at age 9-11. Absolute inequality, in combination with relative inequality, provides a more complete account of the socioeco ...

The effects of napping on night-time sleep in healthy young adults

Author(s): Melodee Mograss

The discrepancies in the effects of napping on sleep quality may be due to differences in methodologies, napping behaviours, and daytime activity levels across studies. We determined whether napping behaviours and daytime activity levels are associated with ...

Sex-Related Differences in the Associations Between Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scores and Pure-Tone Measures of Hearing

Author(s): Al-Yawer F; Bruce H; Li KZH; Pichora-Fuller MK; Phillips NA;

Purpose: Hearing loss (HL) is associated with cognitive performance in older adults, including performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a brief cognitive screening test. Yet, despite well-established sex-related differences in both hearing a ...

The relationship between weight bias internalization and healthy and unhealthy weight control behaviours

Author(s): Levy M; Kakinami L; Alberga AS;

Purpose: Weight bias internalization (WBI) is associated with disordered eating symptomology and motivation to control weight. The relationship between WBI and specific weight control behaviours and how these behaviours differ between men and women is not w ...

Sperm histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation serves as a metabolic sensor of paternal obesity and is associated with the inheritance of metabolic dysfunction

Author(s): Anne-Sophie Pepin

CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest sperm H3K4me3 might serve as a metabolic sensor that connects paternal diet with offspring phenotypes via the placenta. This non-DNA-based knowledge of inheritance has the potential to improve our understanding of how environme ...

Diffuse optical reconstructions of functional near infrared spectroscopy data using maximum entropy on the mean

Author(s): Zhengchen Cai

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures the hemoglobin concentration changes associated with neuronal activity. Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) consists of reconstructing the optical density changes measured from scalp channels to the oxy-/d ...

Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the LEAD trial: a cluster randomized controlled lifestyle intervention to improve hippocampal volume in older adults at-risk for dementia

Author(s): N D Koblinsky

CONCLUSIONS: High adherence and retention rates were observed among participants and preliminary findings illustrate improvements in diet quality and HbA1c. These results indicate that a larger trial is feasible if difficulties surrounding recruitment can b ...

Associations between family functioning during early to mid-childhood and weight status in childhood and adolescence: findings from a Quebec birth cohort

Author(s): Van Hulst A; Wills-Ibarra N; Nikiéma B; Kakinami L; Pratt KJ; Ball GDC;

Background: Impaired family functioning has been associated with obesity in children and adolescents, but few longitudinal studies exist. We examined whether family functioning from early to mid-childhood is associated with overweight and obesity in later c ...
