Brief Summary:
In the first study to identify children at high and low risk for cardiovascular disease and study their nutritional and physical activity behaviors as they relate to cardiovascular disease In the second study to make yearly assessments over a four year period of diet and physical activity among children and their parents The initial effort redefined and retested methods to collect data on dietary intake and activity levels of young children
Detailed Description:
BACKGROUND
In the past several decades relationships between various lifestyle behaviors and the development of cardiovascular risk factors have been identified Nutritional statuseating behaviors and physical activity patterns both directly and indirectly are related to the development of coronary heart disease For example obesity which may be a result of both eating and physical activity behaviors greatly increases the risk of hypertension hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus placing the individuals at greater risk for coronary heart disease Dietary factors such as composition in fatty acids and cholesterol composition in vegetable protein and complex carbohydrates caloric excess and a high intake of salt also are related to the development of risk of coronary heart disease
Physical activity in adults has also been correlated with coronary heart disease Epidemiological research has demonstrated that increased physical activity is associated with reduced risk of myocardial infarctions Regular physical exercise has been shown to have beneficial effects on relative weight and obesity and may act indirectly to beneficially affect hypertension hypertriglyceridemia and glucose intolerance and raise HDL cholesterol levels However in 1985 when SCAN was initiated little information was available concerning the development of nutritional statuseating behaviors and routine physical activity patterns in children
Various psychosocial factors have been associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease Among these factors are behavioral characteristics such as type A behaviors and coping styles to stressors However relatively little was known in 1985 concerning the development of such characteristics in children and when these characteristics became associated with risk of cardiovascular disease
SCAN initiated on the recommendations of the Preventive Cardiology Branch Task Force Group in the Five Year Forward Plan 1982-1987 the Conference on School Health Education Research in the Heart Lung and Blood Areas and the Clinical Applications and Prevention Advisory Committee of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute A Request for Applications was released in October 1984 In 1985 six grants were awarded as part of the Study of Childrens Activity and Nutrition SCAN
DESIGN NARRATIVE
There were six projects supported by the SCAN program They did not follow a common protocol but were basically similar
Medical College of Georgia Five hundred and one Black and white children were followed over a four year period for food intake behavior physical activity and fitness anthropometric measurements blood lipids and lipoproteins heart rate and blood pressure and psychologic characteristics associated with coronary heart disease
West Virginia University Two hundred and eight predominantly white children of adults followed since adolescence in the Bourbon County Study were members of this cohort Children participated in cardiovascular fitness tests and underwent blood pressure measurements and serum lipid determinations The effects of television-viewing child-rearing patterns exercise and nutrition-related knowledge and attitudes were assessed over a four year period
Columbia University Seven hundred and ninety-four primarily Hispanic children and their parents were followed for four years to determine the extent to which diet and physical activity predict coronary heart disease risk Cross sectional and longitudinal analyses were performed
Georgetown University Five hundred and seventy Black children were followed for the influence of the risk status of an older sibling and day care versus home care on nutrient intake and physical activity Eating events were videotaped activity levels were recorded and measurements were obtained on height weight cholesterol blood pressure and skinfold thickness Dietary recalls and nutrition knowledge surveys were obtained
University of Massachusetts In the Framingham Childrens Study one hundred children who were direct descendents of Framingham Heart Study participants were followed for four years Measurements included height weight skinfold thickness lipid profiles heart rate and activity monitoring and assessment of dietary intake four times per year
Memphis State University Six hundred and sixty-three children and their parents were assessed for food intake physical activity and parent-child interactions related to food intake and exercise Anthropometric and cardiovascular data were also collected every four months for four years
Two of the studies were renewed in FY 1992 and again in FY 1996 See the Framingham Childrens Study and the Childrens Activity and Nutrition III
