Diet/Activity of Mexican American and Anglo Children Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, calls or treatment using a genuine doctor. We are not docs. Always consult your dr. on Diet/Activity of Mexican American and Anglo Children conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Diet/Activity of Mexican American and Anglo Children Clinical research trials and Diet/Activity of Mexican American and Anglo Children healthcare trials occur in a lot of of places throughout the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the potency of new drugs. The intent of the studies / undertakings is to figure out certain human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to locate remedies for all kinds of circumstances, including Diet/Activity of Mexican American and Anglo Children. Diet/Activity of Mexican American and Anglo Children Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Many times the participants undergo treatment for free, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Diet/Activity of Mexican American and Anglo Children clinical trial. Participants typically obtain the most effective healthcare available for their Diet/Activity of Mexican American and Anglo Children condition. Dangers are a reality, nonetheless, and can include extra or frequent mD trips, medical hazards (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Diet/Activity of Mexican American and Anglo Children
For Condition: Heart Diseases,Cardiovascular Diseases
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: To perform a follow-up study of physical activity and dietary behaviors and their determinants in 10- to 11-year-old Anglo and Mexican-American children from low- and middle-socioeconomic status (SES) families who were studied initially when they were 4 to 7 years old.
Details: BACKGROUND: It is well documented that the roots of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are evident in childhood, and elevated levels of serum lipids, blood pressure and body fat are common in childhood. These risk factors are, in turn, related to childhood dietary and physical activity habits. To understand the early development of CVD, it is therefore important to study factors that influence diet and physical activity behaviors in children. Most studies concerned with the determinants of diet and physical activity in children are cross-sectional, limiting their utility for improving understanding of the development of these key health behaviors. The study allowed prospective analyses of the behaviors over a significant portion of the prepubertal age range. Knowledge of the determinants, stability, and relationships of childhood dietary and physical activity behaviors to physiologic risk variables could be useful for setting priorities and designing public health interventions for the next generations of youth. The major contribution of this San Diego SCAN study was in the longitudinal analysis of dietary and physical activity behaviors in children. The follow-up assessment of the 10-to 11-year-old cohort and their mothers produced data that substantially improved understanding of the determinants and tracking of children's dietary and physical activity behaviors, as well as their relations to CVD risk factors. DESIGN NARRATIVE: Selection of subjects studied was based on social learning/cognitive theory, which states that behaviors are a function of personal and environmental factors. The specific aims of the study were as follows: 1) To study the determinants of physical activity and dietary intake of fat, sodium, and calories, and changes in these behaviors in children from ages 4 to 10-11. 2) To determine the relationships between diet and physical activity practices and physiologic indicators of risk, such as blood pressure, adiposity, body mass, and serum lipoproteins at ages 4 to 10-11. 3) To describe the time trends and the degree of tracking of physical activity habits and nutritional intake of fat, sodium, and calories in children from ages 4 to 10-11. The study was renewed in 1999.
