Quantification of the effect of energy imbalance on bodyweight (2011, positive): “This observation led to the “small changes approach” 104,105 to address the obesity epidemic based on the idea that only a small average daily energy imbalance underlies the population-Hall wide increase of average bodyweight.”
Effects of obesity and sex on the energetic cost and preferred speed of walking. (2006, background): “However, these relatively small differences between the measured and predicted values of energy expenditure may be important given that a small positive energy balance ( 100 kcal/day) has been associated with the development of obesity (25).”
Flying under the radar: Perverse package size effects on consumption self-regulation (2008, background): “This is partly due to the fact that portion sizes have enlarged dramatically over the past decades (Hill et al. 2003) and larger portion sizes lead to overeating (Wansink and Van Ittersum 2007).”
Epidemiological evidence for the role of physical activity in reducing risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. (2005, background): “In addition, a recent study using nationally representative data has estimated that a mere 100 kcal/day change in energy balance could prevent weight gain in the majority of US adults aged 20–40 yr, and that modest increases in physical activity, such as an additional 15 min of walking per day, or r”
Regulatory role for the arginine-nitric oxide pathway in metabolism of energy substrates. (2006, background): “adult population are overweight (a body mass index N25 kg/m(2)) and obese (a body mass index N30 kg/m(2)), respectively [1].”
Sorghum phytochemicals and their potential impact on human health. (2004, background): “(b) Jambubathan and Mertz (1973); (c) Hahn and Rooney (1986);”
Interventions to Break and Create Consumer Habits (2006, background): “For example, it has been estimated that weight gain and obesity in the majority of the population could be addressed if people ate a few less bites at each meal or took approximately 2000 extra steps each day (Hill and Wyatt 2003).”
Weight Gain Following Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy: Risk Factors in Randomized Comparative Clinical Trials (2019, background): “This degree of weight gain mirrors the obesity trend observed in the NHANES CARDIA study, where the average American aged 2040 gained nearly one kilogram per year.(19) Accordingly, the distribution of BMI classes in trial participants shifted toward overweight and obese categories by trial conclusio”
Amount of time spent in sedentary behaviors in the United States, 2003-2004. (2008, background): “This amount of energy is slightly greater than that associated with 30 minutes/day of brisk walking (0.5 hours/ day 3 3.5 METs ¼ 1.75 MET-hours/day, or 117 kcal/day) and is similar to the level of energy imbalance that has been associated with the current obesity epidemic ( 33 ).”
Standardizing and Optimizing the Use of Accelerometer Data for Free-Living Physical Activity Monitoring (2005, background): “The relatively short period of time over which the obesity pandemic emerged(1-3) in people of all ages and nationalities emphasizes the importance of environmental and behavioral mechanisms.(2,4-6) Epidemiological research provides substantial evidence that physical inactivity is a risk factor for o”
