Childhood obesity and schools: evidence from the national survey of children's health.

Ji J Li and Neal H NH Hooker

J Sch Health 80(2):96-103 (2010) PMID 20236408

The international prevalence of childhood obesity and obesity-related diseases has received increasing attention. Applying data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we explore relationships between childhood obesity and school type, National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) eligibility, membership in sports clubs and other sociodemographic, and household factors.

    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A (2013) PMID 23650387

    We performed a forward genetic screen in mice to identify unique genes, models, and mechanisms of abnormal diaphragm development. We identified a mutant allele of kinesin family member 7 (Kif7), the disorganized diaphragm (dd). Embryos homozygous for the dd allele possess communicating diaphragmatic...
