Obesogenic clusters: multidimensional adolescent obesity-related behaviors in the U.S. Export

@article{citeulike:3779183, abstract = {BACKGROUND: Diet, physical activity, and psychosocial factors are independent and potentially interactive obesity determinants, but few studies have explored complex behavior patterns. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine obesity-related behavior patterning and identify high-risk adolescent groups. METHODS: Cluster analysis identified groups with shared behavior patterns in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (1995 and 1996, ages 11-21; N = 9,251). Descriptive and multivariate regression analyses compared sociodemographics and prevalent and incident obesity across clusters. RESULTS: Seven and six clusters in males and females, respectively, represented behavior patterns such as School Clubs \& Sports, Sedentary Behaviors, Dieters, and Junk Food \& Low Activity. Sociodemographics varied across clusters. Compared to School Clubs \& Sports clusters, adjusted odds of prevalent and incident obesity were higher for most clusters in females but not males. CONCLUSIONS: Cluster analysis identified several obesogenic behavior patterns, highlighting areas for future research and potential avenues for interventions that target broad lifestyle factors.}, author = {Boone-Heinonen, Janne and Gordon-Larsen, Penny and Adair, Linda S.}, citeulike-article-id = {3779183}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12160-008-9074-3}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://view.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19067096}, citeulike-linkout-2 = {http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=19067096}, citeulike-linkout-3 = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/1w385771362kg46u}, doi = {10.1007/s12160-008-9074-3}, issn = {1532-4796}, journal = {Annals of behavioral medicine : a publication of the Society of Behavioral Medicine}, keywords = {adolescents, cluster\_analysis, clustering, usa}, month = {December}, number = {3}, pages = {217--230}, posted-at = {2009-09-21 09:15:14}, priority = {2}, title = {Obesogenic clusters: multidimensional adolescent obesity-related behaviors in the U.S.}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12160-008-9074-3}, volume = {36}, year = {2008} }
