Association of physical activity with body-composition indexes in children aged 6–8 years at varied risk of obesity
Rennie, K.L.; Livingstone, M.B.E.; Wells, J.C.K.; McGloin, A.; Coward, W.A.; Jebb, S.A. (2005) -
Behavioural determinants of obesity
Rennie, K.L.; Johnson, L.; Jebb, S.A. (2005)Obesity in children arises from a complex interplay between genetic susceptibility and behaviour, primarily relating to dietary habits and physical activity. Evidence for specific behavioural factors that promote or protect ... -
Can Self-Reported Dieting and Dietary Restraint Identify Underreporters of Energy Intake in Dietary Surveys?
Rennie, K.L.; Siervo, M.; Jebb, S.A. (2006)Underreporting is endemic in most dietary studies and ways to reliably identify individuals who may underreport energy intake are needed. Whether questions on self-reported dieting and dietary restraint, in addition to ... -
A combined heart rate and movement sensor: proof of concept and preliminary testing study
Rennie, K.L.; Rowsell, T.; Jebb, S.A.; Holbourn, D.; Wareham, N.J. (2000)Heart rate monitoring has previously been used as a technique for measuring energy expenditure (EE) in field studies. However, the combination of heart rate monitoring with movement sensoring could have theoretical advantages ... -
Energy density of the diet and change in body fatness from childhood to adolescence : is there a relation?
McCaffrey, T.A.; Rennie, K.L.; Kerr, M.A.; Wallace, J.M.; Hannon-Fletcher, M.P.; Coward, W.A.; Jebb, S.A.; Livingstone, M.B.E. (2008)Background: The contribution of energy density (ED) of the total diet to increased risk of obesity from childhood into adolescence is unclear. Objective: We assessed the relation between the ED of the diet in childhood, ... -
Estimating under-reporting of energy intake in dietary surveys using an individualised method
Rennie, K.L.; Coward, A.; Jebb, S.A. (2007)Under-reporting (UR) of energy intake (EI) by self-reported dietary methods is well-documented but the methods used to estimate UR in population-based studies commonly assume a sedentary lifestyle. We compared estimated ... -
Increased 24-h Energy Expenditure in Type 2 Diabetes
Bitz, C.; Toubro, S.; Larsen, T.M.; Harder, H.; Rennie, K.L.; Jebb, S.A.; Astrup, A. (2004)The aim of this study was to determine whether overweight and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes have higher basal and 24-h energy expenditure compared with healthy control subjects before and after adjustment for body ... -
Nutritional management of rheumatoid arthritis: a review of the evidence
Rennie, K.L.; Hughes, J.; Lang, R.; Jebb, S.A. (2003)Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating disease and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Poor nutrient status in RA patients has been reported and some drug therapies, such as ... -
Prevalence of obesity in Great Britain
Rennie, K.L.; Jebb, S.A. (2005)Since 1980 the prevalence of obesity in Great Britain in adults has almost trebled. Latest figures show that 23% of men and 25% of women were obese in 2002. In children, obesity prevalence is lower but the increase in the ... -
Prevalence of overweight and obesity among young people in Great Britain
Jebb, S.A.; Rennie, K.L.; Cole, T.J. (2004) -
Secular trends in under-reporting in young people
Rennie, K.L.; Jebb, S.A.; Wright, A.; Coward, W.A. (2005)National survey data show that reported energy intake has decreased in recent decades despite a rise in the prevalence of obesity. This disparity may be due to a secular increase in under-reporting or a quantitatively ...
