Over Time

Socioeconomic status (SES) has a small but significantrelationship with self-esteem (d = .15, r = .08) in a meta-analysis of 446 samples (total participant N = 312,940). Higher SES individuals report higher self-esteem. The effect size is very small in young children, increases substantially during young adulthood, continues higher until middle age, and is then smaller for adults over the age of 60. Gender interacts with birth cohort: The effect size increased over time for women but decreased over time for men. Asians and Asian Americans show a higher effect size, and occupation and education produce higher correlations with self-esteem than income does. The results are most consistent with a social indicator or salience model.

Baseline Bmi

Introduction: Obesity is a risk factor for left ventricular dysfunction and incident heart failure. We hypothesized that baseline body mass index (BMI) and trajectories in weight change through young adulthood are associated with abnormal cardiac mechanics in middle age. Methods: We examined 2,735 participants from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. BMI was calculated at exam years 0, 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25. 2D echo was performed with speckle-tracking analysis. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal, circumferential, and radial strain (GLS, GCS, GRS, respectively) were measured at y25. Group-based modeling with latent class analysis (PROC TRAJ) was used to identify trajectories in relative changes in BMI (% change in BMI from baseline at each exam). Linear regression examined associations between baseline BMI and trajectory of BMI change and absolute GLS, GCS, and GRS at y25 adjusting for demographics, risk factors, and echo parameters. Results: Mean age at baseline was 25±4 years. Baseline BMI at y0 was significantly associated with mean GLS at y25 (p=0.01), but not GRS or GCS. We identified 4 distinct trajectories of relative BMI change: stable weight (36% of sample), mild increase (40%), moderate increase (18%), and major increase (6%) in weight (Figure). At y25, there was no difference in LVEF across the 4 BMI trajectory groups (P=NS). After adjustment for clinical variables and baseline BMI, absolute GLS was lower in groups with BMI increases (overall P<0.001). GRS and GCS were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion: In conclusion, baseline BMI and increases in BMI during young adulthood are significantly associated with the presence of subclinical cardiac dysfunction in middle age despite normal EF. This novel characterization of BMI trajectories across young adulthood may assist in improving understanding of the impact of weight gain and obesity on cardiac dysfunction.

Background: Greater abdominal adiposity is associated with insulin resistance and obesity-related vascular disease. Physical activity (PA) is inversely associated with abdominal adiposity yet associations between trends in adherence to PA recommendations through young adulthood and abdominal adiposity in middle age is unclear. Objective: To identify common trajectories of maintaining recommended levels of PA through young adulthood and to examine associations between trajectories and abdominal adiposity at middle age. Methods: The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study is a population-based, prospective, observational study of black and white men and women. PA was assessed at 8 exams across 25 years of follow-up. PA trajectories were identified by group-based modeling (PROC TRAJ) based on likelihood of maintaining recommended PA levels across exams. Visceral, subcutaneous, and abdominal intermuscular adipose tissue volumes (cm3) were assessed by computed tomography at the year 25 exam (43-55 yrs, n=3180). Results: Four major PA trajectories were identified: highly active (27.3%), declining activity (18.2%), modestly active (20.7%) and always sedentary (33.8%). Abdominal adipose tissue volumes by PA trajectory, race, and sex are displayed in Figure 1. Among white men and women, abdominal adiposity was lowest in always active adults and highest in those always sedentary; higher abdominal adiposity was observed with declining activity compared to modest activity. In black women, highest levels of abdominal adiposity were observed with declining activity. Black men exhibited no differences in abdominal adiposity across PA trajectory groups. Conclusions: Maintaining recommended physical activity levels through young adulthood is associated with lower abdominal adiposity at middle age. Highly active adults who exhibit declining physical activity towards middle age exhibit higher abdominal adiposity compared to adults with consistent modest activity throughout adulthood.

Bmi Trajectory

Knowledge regarding the heterogeneity of BMI trajectories is limited for the Canadian population. Using latent class growth modelling, four distinct BMI trajectories of individuals from young adulthood to middle age were identified for both women and men from the longitudinal data of the National Population Health Survey. The associations between BMI trajectories and the individuals’ sociodemographic characteristics and behavioural factors were also examined. Aboriginal women were found more likely to be in the long-term overweight or obese groups. It reveals that increased years of smoking, drinking, and being physically active were associated with lowering the BMI trajectory in all groups for both women and men, with some exceptions in the long-term normal weight group for men. Increased years of rural living, being employed, and living with low income were associated with raising the BMI trajectory in all groups for women and in some groups for men. Food insecurity was associated with raising the BMI trajectory in each group for both women and men.
