Prediction of physical activity and physical work capacity (PWC 150) in young adulthood from childhood and adolescence with consideration of parental measures

Article Abstract:

This study measured physical fitness, parental activity, and energy expenditure in a sample of Canadian children to predict their fitness levels as young adults. Findings indicate that there were correlations between childhood and adult measures of fitness and activity levels, but parental activity measures only had predictive value for males.

Relation between birth weight at term and growth rate, skeletal age, and cortical bone at 6-11 years

Article Abstract:

A link seems to exist between fetal and childhood growth and puberty and risk for several degenerative diseases in adult years. The relationship between birth weight at term and skeletal age, growth rate and cortical bone in children 6-11 years of age has been studied. Subjects numbered 232 and were of European ancestry.
