该项目旨在研究儿童营养与 乳腺癌的危险因素，包括月经初潮年龄，成年身高， 体重和肥胖。次要目的包括跟踪 超重和肥胖从出生到青年的发展 成年期，确定可能的“敏感”或高风险时期(WIT 对肥胖的尊重)，更重要的是，识别 饮食对儿童和成人肥胖发展的贡献。 详细的人体测量数据(身高、体重、皮褶厚度等)和 人口学特征可从以下计算机数据库获得： 莱特州的FELS研究和人类生物学的划分 医学院包括多达18年的年度饮食和人体测量 对106名女孩的评估。卡路里、宏量和微量营养素数据是 链接到现有的人体测量计算机文件，包括后来的成年人 身高和体重。营养成分是通过使用 美国农业部手册系列的最新版本。营养素包括 以下：总能量(千卡路里)；总脂肪、蛋白质和碳水化合物 饱和、多不饱和和单不饱和脂肪；胆固醇；饮食 纤维；维生素和矿物质(来自食物和补充来源)。 这项研究是与科学家们合作进行的 位于俄亥俄州黄泉市的莱特州立医学院。资料分析 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 (wit 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 carbohydrat 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.
