Head Circumference Versus Length and Weight Deficits up to 2 Years of Age in Bangladesh Open
Infant undernutrition, defined by length‐ and weight‐based indices, is common in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), but corresponding deficits in head size have received less attention. In a cohort of term newborns in Dhaka, Banglad…

Height-Age as An Alternative to Height-For-Age z-Scores to Assess the Effect of Interventions on Child Linear Growth in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Open
Height-age can be used as an alternative to HAZ to express intervention effects. The PMB has the advantage of conveying the extent to which an intervention improved average linear growth in relation to a biologically-defined benchmark.

Height-age as an alternative to height-for-age z-scores to assess the effect of interventions on child linear growth in low- and middle-income countries Open
Background Assessments of the efficacy of interventions to improve child growth are often based on differences in mean height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) and stunting (HAZ<-2) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). However, this approach does …

Complementary and alternative metrics for tracking population-level trends in child linear growth Open
Stunting prevalence is commonly used to track population-level child nutritional status. However, other metrics derived from anthropometric datasets may be used as alternatives to stunting or provide complementary perspectives on the statu…

Estimation of skeletal muscle mass in 4-year-old children using the D3-creatine dilution method Open
Background Given limited experience in applying the creatine-(methyl-D 3 ) (D 3 Cr) dilution method to measure skeletal muscle mass (SMM) in young children, the feasibility of deployment in a fielding setting and performance of the method …

Persistent Asthma Is Associated With Carotid Plaque in MESA Open
Background Asthma and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease share an underlying inflammatory pathophysiology. We hypothesized that persistent asthma is associated with carotid plaque burden, a strong predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovas…

Relationships Between 25-Hydroxyvitamin D, Parathyroid Hormone, and Bone Mass in 4-Year-Old Children in Dhaka, Bangladesh Open
OBJECTIVES: Elevated serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration was incidentally observed in a high proportion of children in a study in Dhaka, Bangladesh. We explored potential correlates of elevated PTH by estimating the association o…

Persistent Asthma Is Associated With Increased Risk for Incident Atrial Fibrillation in the MESA Open
Background: Asthma and atrial fibrillation (AF) share an underlying inflammatory pathophysiology. We hypothesized that persistent asthmatics are at higher risk for developing AF and that this association would be attenuated by adjustment f…
