Declines in physical activity and higher systolic blood pressure in adolescence.

22 Sep 2009 The authors examined the potential association between changes in the number of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) sessions per week, adiposity, and systolic blood pressure (SBP) during adolescence. SBP and anthropometric factors were ... Read more...

Relationship between bronchial hyperreactivity and asthma remission during adolescence.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Many children with asthma outgrow this disease after the onset of puberty. However, the precise mechanism of outgrowing asthma in children is still unclear. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the characteristics of respiratory physiology during ... Read more...

Regional variations in the growth of Saudi children and adolescents.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: No previous study has provided a detailed description of regional variations of growth within the various regions of Saudi Arabia. Thus, we sought to demonstrate differences in growth of children and adolescents in ... Read more...
