FELS EARLY NUTRITION AND GROWTH STUDY

本项目旨在调查儿童营养与儿童健康之间的关系 乳腺癌的危险因素，包括初潮年龄，成年身高， 体重和肥胖。 次要目的包括跟踪发展 从出生到成年早期的超重和肥胖， 确定可能的“敏感”或高风险时期（ 肥胖），更重要的是，确定 饮食对儿童和成人肥胖症的发展。 详细的人体测量数据（身高、体重、皮褶厚度等）和 人口统计特征，可从计算机数据库中获得， 费尔斯研究和赖特州立大学人类生物学系 医学包括多达18项年度饮食和人体测量评估 106个女孩 热量、大量营养素和微量营养素数据与 现有的人体测量计算机文件，包括成年后的身高， 重量. 已使用最新版本计算营养成分 美国农业部手册系列 营养素包括：总能量 （千卡）;总脂肪、蛋白质和碳水化合物;饱和的， 多不饱和脂肪和单不饱和脂肪;胆固醇;膳食纤维;以及 维生素和矿物质（来自食物和补充来源）。 这项研究是与赖特大学的科学家合作进行的。 位于俄亥俄州的黄石州立医学院。 数据分析是 目前正在进行中。

This project is designed to investigate the relation of childhood nutrition to breast cancer risk factors, including age at menarche, adult height, weight, and fatness. Secondary purposes include tracking the development of overweight and obesity from birth through young adulthood, identification of possible "sensitive" or high-risk periods (with respect to obesity) in childhood and, more important, to identify the contribution of diet to the development of childhood and adult obesity. Detailed anthropometric data (height, weight, skinfold thickness, etc.) and demographic characteristics available from a computer data base from the Fels Study and the Division of Human Biology of the Wright State School of Medicine included up to 18 annual dietary and anthropometric assessments for 106 girls. Calorie, macro- and micronutrient data were linked to the existing anthropometry computer file, including later adult height and weight. Nutrient composition has been calculated using the latest version of the USDA Handbook series. Nutrients include the following: total energy (kilocalories); total fat, protein, and carbohydrate; saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fat; cholesterol; dietary fiber; and vitamins and minerals (from food and supplementary sources). This study is being conducted collaboratively with scientists at the Wright State School of Medicine in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Data analysis is currently underway.
