Can left ventricular diastolic stiffness be measured noninvasively?
We conclude that K(lv) can be calculated +/- 0.5 mm Hg/mL from noninvasively measured DT in patients.
Child-specific aspects of the family environment, including mothers' child-feeding practices and perceptions of their daughters' risk of overweight, may represent important, nonshared, environmental influences on daughters' eating and relative weight. The environmental effects noted were modest but comparable in magnitude to the direct association between maternal and child weight, which indicates that measuring family environmental factors can enhance our understanding of the etiology of childhood overweight.
