Abstract

The 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts for the United States include population reference data for body mass index (BMI)-for-age (ages 2-19 y) and weight-for-stature (from 77 to 121 cm). For younger children, either set of reference data could be used. The objective of this study was to compare BMI-for-age with weight-for-stature. We used data for 4348 children (aged 2-5 y) from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Weight-for-stature and BMI-for-age percentiles were calculated for each child. The 10th and 85th percentiles of weight-for-stature at selected ages were also reexpressed as BMI-for-age percentiles. More than 63% of children had lower weight-for-stature than BMI-for-age percentiles. Children were more likely to be classified as < or = 10th percentile by weight-for-stature than by BMI-for-age, but less likely to be classified as > or = 85th percentile. Differences in classification by the 2 measures varied with age and stature and were greater for shorter children. The 10th and 85th percentiles of weight-for-stature corresponded to BMI-for-age percentiles from the 3rd to the 21st percentile and from the 74th to the 92nd percentile, respectively, depending on age and sta...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
