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 从出生到成年早期的超重和肥胖， 可能的"敏感"或高风险时期（就肥胖而言）， 更重要的是，确定饮食对儿童的影响， 儿童和成人肥胖的发展。 详细的人体测量数据（身高、体重、皮褶厚度等）和 人口统计特征目前可在计算机数据库中获得 来自费尔斯研究和赖特州人类生物学部门 医学院。多达18项年度饮食和人体测量评估 是为"索引"女孩准备的热量、常量和微量营养素数据 将链接到现有的人体测量计算机文件，包括稍后 成人身高和体重营养成分将使用 美国农业部手册系列的最新版本。营养素包括 以下：总能量（千卡）;总脂肪，蛋白质， 碳水化合物;饱和、多不饱和和单不饱和脂肪; 胆固醇;膳食纤维;维生素和矿物质（来自食物和 补充来源）。

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 are currently available on a computer data base from the Fels Study and the Division of Human Biology of the Wright State School of Medicine. Up to 18 annual dietary and anthropometric assessments are available for "index" girls. Calorie, macro- and micronutrient data will be linked to an existing anthropometry computer file, including later adult height and weight. Nutrient composition will be calculated using the latest version of the USDA Handbook series. Nutrients will 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).
