DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal will provide Dr. Joyce Lee with the analytic skills and research experience for becoming an independent researcher focused on obesity and type 2 diabetes over the life course. Dr. Lee will build on her unique training as a pediatric endocrinologist and pediatric health services researcher with a program of advanced coursework focused on quantitative skills in epidemiology, applied modeling, and child health policy. Her accomplished mentoring team includes Dr. William Herman, MD, MPH, and Dr. Gary Freed MD, MPH, and resources such as the Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center, the Child Health Evaluation and Research Unit, and the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan. With this project, Dr. Lee proposes a novel life course approach for understanding the long-term consequences of childhood obesity with regard to type 2 diabetes risk. Rates of childhood obesity are accelerating over time, with large increases in prevalence and magnitude of obesity, as well as earlier onset of obesity. Despite this trend, population-based studies suggest that rates of T2D among children have not yet increased substantially, which may reflect the latency period between the onset of obesity and the development of T2D, which can last upwards of 10 years of more. Therefore, the epidemic of childhood obesity may result in large increases in T2D among young adults, which is of great concern due to higher rates of cardiovascular and end-stage complications from a longer duration of disease. In this proposal, Dr. Lee will evaluate the epidemiologic link between childhood obesity and T2D among young adults using age-period-cohort analyses, and will examine how both degree of excess BMI and duration of obesity early in life affect the rate and age at onset of T2D. She will then develop a state transition model to project future trends in T2D which account for recent increases in childhood obesity. Finally she will identify the policy implications of her findings from the epidemiologic studies and the state transition model to identify and prioritize changes in child health policy and health care delivery needed for addressing childhood obesity as a chronic disease risk factor originating in childhood and extending into adulthood.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案将为Joyce Lee博士提供分析技能和研究经验，使其成为一名专注于肥胖和2型糖尿病的独立研究人员。李博士将以她作为儿科内分泌学家和儿科卫生服务研究员的独特培训为基础，开展一项高级课程，重点是流行病学，应用建模和儿童卫生政策的定量技能。她成功的指导团队包括William赫尔曼博士，医学博士，公共卫生硕士，和加里弗里德博士，公共卫生硕士，以及密歇根糖尿病研究和培训中心，儿童健康评估和研究单位，以及密歇根大学公共卫生学院等资源。通过这个项目，Lee博士提出了一种新的生命历程方法，用于了解儿童肥胖对2型糖尿病风险的长期影响。随着时间的推移，儿童肥胖率正在加速上升，肥胖症的流行率和严重程度大幅增加，而且肥胖症的发病时间也更早。尽管有这种趋势，但基于人群的研究表明，儿童中的T2 D发病率尚未大幅增加，这可能反映了肥胖发作和T2 D发展之间的潜伏期，这可能持续10年以上。因此，儿童肥胖症的流行可能导致年轻人中T2 D的大幅增加，这是一个非常令人担忧的问题，因为疾病持续时间较长，心血管和终末期并发症的发生率较高。在这项提案中，Lee博士将使用年龄-阶段-队列分析来评估年轻人中儿童肥胖与T2 D之间的流行病学联系，并将研究超重BMI程度和生命早期肥胖持续时间如何影响T2 D发病率和发病年龄。然后，她将开发一个状态转换模型，以预测T2 D的未来趋势，这是最近儿童肥胖增加的原因。最后，她将从流行病学研究和状态转换模型中确定她的研究结果的政策含义，以确定和优先考虑儿童健康政策和医疗保健服务的变化，以解决儿童肥胖症作为起源于儿童期并延伸到成年期的慢性疾病风险因素。
