Randomized Controlled Trial
Changes in food choice during a successful weight loss trial in overweight and obese postpartum women.
To examine changes in intake across food groups during a weight loss trial that produced significant and sustainable weight loss in lactating women receiving dietary treatment. ⋯ Lactating women receiving dietary treatment achieved sustainable weight loss through changes in food choice in line with current dietary guidelines.

To identify metabolite patterns associated with childhood obesity, to examine relations of these patterns with measures of adiposity and cardiometabolic risk, and to evaluate associations with maternal peripartum characteristics. ⋯ BCAA and androgen metabolites were associated with adiposity and cardiometabolic risk during mid-childhood. Maternal obesity may contribute to altered offspring BCAA metabolism.

To examine associations of chronic insufficient sleep with mid-childhood cardiometabolic health. ⋯ Chronic insufficient sleep from infancy to school-age was associated with higher mid-childhood metabolic risk. This association was explained by sleep duration's influence on mid-childhood adiposity.
