TL;DR: Maternal size, parity, smoking history, walking speed, and fat stores are independent determinants of neonatal body composition, and if these influences are shown to have persisting effects on body composition through to adulthood, they point to novel public health interventions early in life to prevent later obesity.

TL;DR: The results of this study show that increased adult weight is associated with, and may precede, development of hand OA in men and that decreased birth weight is a new finding and may reflect the persisting influence of prenatal environmental factors on adult joint structure and function.

TL;DR: Infants whose dietary pattern was most similar to current feeding guidelines, with high frequencies of fresh fruit and vegetables, home-prepared foods and breast milk, gained weight and skinfold thickness more rapidly from 6 to 12 months than other infants, independent of milk feeding, age at introduction of solids and maternal factors.

TL;DR: The relationship between placental PMCA3 expression and neonatal whole body bone area, mineral content and areal density (BA, BMC, BMD) were measured within 2 weeks of birth using DXA.
