Feasibility study of asset mapping with children: Identifying how the community environment shapes activity and food choices in Alexander First Nation
Download2013
Fehderau, David D., Willows, Noreen D., Ball, Geoff D., Holt, Nicholas L.
Introduction: It is estimated that First Nations children living on reserves are 4.5 times more likely to be obese than Canadian children in general. Many First Nations children living on reserves have limited healthy food and physical activity options. Understanding how community factors...

A longitudinal and cross-sectional examination of the relationship between reasons for choosing a neighbourhood, physical activity and body mass index
Download2010
Berry, T. R., Blanchard, C., Selfridge, G., Spence, J. C., Edwards, J., Cutumisu, N.
Abstract: Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between body mass index and neighborhood walkability, socioeconomic status (SES), reasons for choosing neighborhoods, physical activity, fruit and vegetable intake, and demographic variables. Methods: Two studies,...

Impact of a 3-year multi-centre community-based intervention on risk factors for chronic disease and obesity among free-living adults: the Healthy Alberta Communities study
Download2016-01-01
Lytvyak, E., Olstad, D. L., Schopflocher, D. P., Plotnikoff, R. C., Storey, K. E., Nykiforuk, Candace I.J., Raine, K. D.
Background: Healthy Alberta Communities (HAC) was a 3-year community-based intervention to reduce lifestyle-related risk factors for chronic disease and obesity at a population-level. The current paper examines changes in blood pressure (BP) and anthropometric indicators within HAC communities...

Prevalence of Obesity and Its Metabolic Correlates Among the Circumpolar Inuit in 3 Countries
Download2007
Young, T. Kue, Bjerregaard, Peter, Dewailly, Eric, Risica, Patricia M., Jørgensen, Marit E., Ebbesson, Sven E. O.
"Objectives: We investigated the prevalence of obesity and the metabolic correlates of different levels of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference among the Inuit in 3 countries. Methods: Data from 4 surveys of Inuit in Canada, Greenland, and Alaska conducted during 1990–2001 were pooled,...

Association between the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism and the metabolic syndrome in a non-Caucasian multi-ethnic sample
Download2008-03-13
Al-Attar, Salam A., Pollex, Rebecca L., Ban, Matthew R., Young, T. Kue, Bjerregaard, Peter, Anand, Sonia S., Yusuf, Salim, Zinman, Bernard, Harris, Stewart B., Hanley, Anthony J. G., Connelly, Philip W., Huff, Murray W., Hegele, Robert A.
"Background: The rs9939609 T>A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the FTO gene has previously been found to be associated with obesity in European Caucasian samples. The objective of this study is to examine whether this association extends to metabolic syndrome (MetS) and applies in...

Cao, Henian, van der Veer, Eric, Ban, Matthew R., Hanley, Anthony J.G., Zinman, Bernard, Harris, S. B., Young, T. Kue, Pickering, J. Geoffrey, Hegele, Robert A.
"We sequenced the promoter and coding regions of PCK1 encoding cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase from genomic DNA of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). We found nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were present with varying allele frequencies and pairwise linkage...

Hegele, Robert A., Huff, Murray W., Young, T. Kue
"We discovered that rare mutations in LMNA, which encodes lamins A and C, underlie autosomal dominant Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy. Because familial partial lipodystrophy is an extreme example of genetically disturbed adipocyte differentiation, it is possible that common variation...

Feeding long chain (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids to obese leptin receptor deficient JCR:LA-cp rats modifies immune function and lipid raft fatty acid composition
Download2009
Ruth, Megan R., Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D.
Dietary EPA and DHA modulate immunity and thereby may improve the aberrant immune function in obese states. To determine the effects of feeding fish oil (FO) containing EPA and DHA on splenocyte phospholipid (PL) and lipid-raft fatty acid composition, phenotypes and cytokine production,...
