How do early environment, diet and physical activity interact to determine bone development in young children?
… composition and lifestyle.<br/>On assessment of growth patterns in this cohort, children were who born small tended to remain small at aged 6 years. Increased catch up growth was associated with increased maternal height and total milk intake at aged 3 years. Rapid weight gain during childhood …

The Role of Maternal High Fat Diet in the Pathogenesis of Metabolic and Bone Disease in the Adult Offspring
… lactational exposure to such a diet resulted in growth restriction and skeletal aberrations indicative of osteoporosis, despite being fed a standard rodent diet post-weaning. We propose that dietary-induced hyperlipidemia, along with pregnancy-associated factors, resulted in fatty liver and …

Somatic growth of non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate subjects compared with the general population in a developing country
A number of studies of somatic growth in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate (CL/P) subjects in developed countries have found small differences from the general population. In contrast there is a dearth of such growth studies in developing countries which enable comparison with the local …
