Journal Article
This study assessed the change in body mass index (BMI) distribution among 18‐ or 19‐year‐olds in Norway over 24 years. It also investigated parallel changes in the distribution of birth weight and in the association between birth weight and later risk of overweight and/or obesity. Parental educational variations in the trends and associations were explored. The study used data on 606,832 male military conscripts enlisted between 1985 and 2008.

Journal Article
Authors aimed to examine the association between immigrant generation and obesity among Californian adults and Asian Americans using pooled weighted data on 2,967 Asian Americans from the 2013–2014 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). Multiple logistic regression analyses were used with adjustment for age, sex, family income, smoking status, marital status, education, physical activity, and fast food consumption.

Policy Brief
This policy brief describes two types of walking among California adults: walking for transportation and walking for leisure. Using data from the 2003 and 2013-14 California Health Interview Surveys, the study found that the prevalence of both types of walking has increased since 2003. The prevalence of walking for both transportation and leisure varies with age, income, race/ethnicity, and neighborhood safety and cohesion.

Journal Article
The authors examine whether changes in food prices are associated with changes in obesity prevalence among women in developing countries, and assess effect modification by individual socioeconomic status (SES).

Policy Brief
This policy brief examines patterns of sugary beverage consumption among children and adolescents in California. Using data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), this study found that while sugary beverage consumption decreased among adolescents ages 12-17 between 2011-12 and 2013-14, it increased among children under age 12 between 2009 and 2013-14.

Fact Sheet
Of California children ages 2-11, nearly one in three (31 percent) consumed one or more sugary beverages per day in 2013-14. This percentage is higher than the percentages of children who consumed sugary beverages every day in 2009 or in 2011-12. The trend suggests that reductions in sugary beverage consumption observed among children in recent years may be reversing. Authors say continued education and policy efforts are needed to reduce sugary beverage consumption among children.
