Reciprocal longitudinal relations between weight/shape concern and comorbid pathology among women at very high risk for eating disorder onset.
This study examined short-term reciprocal longitudinal relations between weight/shape concern and comorbid symptoms and behaviors over the course of 24 months using cross-lagged panel models. Subjects were women 18-25 years old at high risk for onset of an eating disorder (ED), randomized to an online ED preventive intervention or waitlist control. Results supported focusing intervention on reducing weight/shape concern over reducing comorbid constructs for efficient short-term change.

The effect of gestational weight gain on persistent increase in body mass index in adolescents: a longitudinal study.
Weight retention after pregnancy is a concern for adolescents who may be entering adulthood at unhealthy weights. In this article, the investigators studied associations between each of three measures: pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG), and post-pregnancy BMI in a longitudinal follow-up of an adolescent pregnancy study cohort. They concluded that teens experienced an increase in BMI from pre-pregnancy to within 4 years after their first delivery, and this increase was related to GWG.

Moderate and vigorous intensity exercise during pregnancy and gestational weight gain in women with gestational diabetes.
The researchers estimated the associations of exercise intensity during pregnancy with the rate of gestational weight gain (GWG) from gestational diabetes (GDM) diagnosis to delivery. Upon stratification by prepregnancy overweight/obesity, they found that significant associations were only observed for BMI greater than or equal to 25.0. There were no associations observed for moderate intensity exercise.
