Analysis of the inheritance, selection and evolution of growth trajectories.
We present methods for estimating the parameters of inheritance and selection that appear in a quantitative genetic model for the evolution growth trajectories and other "infinite-dimensional" traits that we recently introduced. Two methods for estimating the additive genetic covariance function are developed, a "full" model that fully fits the data and a "reduced" model that generates a smooth...
متن کاملEarly maternal depressive symptoms and child growth trajectories: a longitudinal analysis of a nationally representative US birth cohort
BACKGROUND Maternal depressive symptoms are negatively associated with early child growth in developing countries; however, few studies have examined this relation in developed countries or used a longitudinal design with data past the second year of the child's life. We investigated if and when early maternal depressive symptoms affect average growth in young children up to age 6 in a national...
متن کاملAnalyzing growth trajectories.
Growth trajectories play a central role in life course epidemiology, often providing fundamental indicators of prenatal or childhood development, as well as an array of potential determinants of adult health outcomes. Statistical methods for the analysis of growth trajectories have been widely studied, but many challenging problems remain. Repeated measurements of length, weight and head circum...
متن کاملChild growth trajectories to adult disease: lessons from UK birth cohort studies
The developmental origins of health and disease theory purports that early life factors determine long-term risks of death and disease. Historical studies, prospective birth cohorts such the UK ALSPAC birth cohort [1], and more recently genetic studies [2] indicate that the rapid weight gain trajectory to later obesity starts in the first months of life, even from birth. Rapid infant weight gai...
