Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking of childhood overweight into adulthood: a systematic review of the literature
Amika S. Singh,Christiaan Mulder,Jos W. R. Twisk,Jos W. R. Twisk,W. van Mechelen,Mai J. M. Chinapaw +5 more
TL;DR: All included studies consistently report an increased risk of overweight and obese youth becoming overweight adults, suggesting that the likelihood of persistence of overweight into adulthood is moderate for overweight and obesity youth, however, predictive values varied considerably.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established reference and normal values for Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), a direct measure of aortic stiffness, based on a large European population.
Journal ArticleDOI
A brief review on correlates of physical activity and sedentariness in youth
TL;DR: Further research is needed examining the correlates of insufficient physical activity and sedentary behaviors, to develop effective interventions that may help children and adolescents diminish the time they spend on inactive behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intensity of leg and arm training after primary middle-cerebral-artery stroke: a randomised trial
TL;DR: Greater intensity of leg rehabilitation improves functional recovery and health-related functional status, whereas greater intensity of arm rehabilitation results in small improvements in dexterity, providing further evidence that exercise therapy primarily induces treatment effects on the abilities at which training is specifically aimed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depression as a risk factor for the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A meta-analysis
M J Knol,Jos W. R. Twisk,Jos W. R. Twisk,Aartjan T.F. Beekman,Robert J. Heine,Frank J. Snoek,Frans Pouwer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the latter association by reviewing the literature and conducting a meta-analysis of longitudinal studies on this topic, concluding that depression may occur as a consequence of having diabetes, but may also be a risk factor for the onset of type 2 diabetes.
