    • Adolescent Metabolic Syndrome Risk Is Increased with Higher Infancy Weight Gain and Decreased with Longer ... 
      Khuc, Kim; Blanco, Estela; Burrows, Raquel; Reyes Jedlicki, Marcela; Castillo, Marcela; Lozoff, Betsy; Gahagan, Sheila (2012)
      Background. Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is increasing in pediatric age groups worldwide. Meeting the criteria for the metabolic syndrome puts children at risk for later cardiovascular and metabolic disease. ...
    • Breast-feeding and mental and motor development at 5 1/2 years 
      Clark, Katy M.; Castillo, Marcela; Calatroni, Agustín; Walter, Tomas; Cayazzo, Marisol; Pino Zúñiga, Paulina; Lozoff, Betsy (ALLIANCE COMMUNICATIONS GROUP DIVISION ALLEN PRESS, 2006-04)
      Objective: Breast-feeding is associated with better child development outcomes, but uncertainty remains primarily due to the close relationship between breast-feeding and socioeconomic status. This study assesses the issue ...
    • Iron deficiency in infancy: applying a physiologic framework for prediction 
      Lozoff, Betsy; Kaciroti, Niko; Walter, Tomas (AMER SOC CLINICAL NUTRITION, 2006-12)
      Background: Infants aged 6-24 mo are at high risk of iron deficiency. Numerous studies worldwide have sought to identify predictors of iron deficiency in this age group. Objective: The objectives of the study were to apply ...
    • Iron supplementation in infancy contributes to more adaptive behavior at 10 years of age 
      Lozoff, Betsy; Castillo, Marcela; Clark, Katy M.; Smith, Julia B.; Sturza, Julie (ASN, 2014)
      Most studies of behavioral/developmental effects of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) or iron supplementation in infancy have found social-emotional differences. Differences could relate to behavioral inhibition or lack of ...
    • Iron-deficiency anemia in infancy and poorer cognitive inhibitory control at age 10 years 
      Algarín Crespo, Cecilia Rosa; Nelson, Charles A.; Peirano Campos, Patricio; Westerlund, Elissa; Reyes, Sussanne; Lozoff, Betsy (Mac Keith, 2013)
      AIM The aim of this study was to assess the effects of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in infancy on executive functioning at age 10 years, specifically inhibitory control on the Go/No-Go task. We predicted that children ...
    • Iron-Fortified vs Low-Iron Infant Formula Developmental Outcome at 10 Years 
      Lozoff, Betsy; Castillo, Marcela; Clark, Katy M.; Smith, Julia B. (AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2012-03)
      Objective: To assess long-term developmental outcome in children who received iron-fortified or low-iron formula. Design: Follow-up at 10 years of a randomized controlled trial (1991-1994) of 2 levels of formula iron. ...
    • Nighttime sleep characteristics and white matter integrity in young adults 
      Reyes García, Sussanne Carola; Medeiros Rimkus, Carolina de; Lozoff, Betsy; Algarin Crespo, Cecilia Rosa; Peirano Campos, Patricio Darío (Dove Medical Press Ltd, New Zealand, 2022)
      Purpose: Sleep is essential for life and plays a key role for optimal physiology, brain functioning, and health. Evidence suggests a relation between sleep and cerebral white matter integrity. Human studies report that ...
    • Perception of Neighborhood Crime and Drugs Increases Cardiometabolic Risk in Chilean Adolescents 
      Martinez, Suzanna M.; Blanco, Estela; Delva, Jorge; Burrows, Raquel; Reyes Jedlicki, Marcela; Lozoff, Betsy; Gahagan, Sheila (Elsevier, 2014)
      Purpose: Studies report an association between neighborhood risk and both obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors (CMR) among adolescents. Here we describe the effect of perceived neighborhood risk on adiposity and CMR ...
    • Potential effects of reward and loss avoidance in overweight adolescents 
      Reyes, Sussanne; Peirano Campos, Patricio; Luna, Beatriz; Lozoff, Betsy; Algarín Crespo, Cecilia Rosa (Nature Publishing, 2015)
      BACKGROUND: Reward system and inhibitory control are brain functions that exert an influence on eating behavior regulation. We studied the differences in inhibitory control and sensitivity to reward and loss avoidance ...
    • Resolving early obesity leads to a cardiometabolic profile within normal ranges at 23 years old in a ... 
      Correa Burrows, María Paulina; Rogan Castillo, Jose Antonio; Blanco, Estela; East, Patricia; Lozoff, Betsy; Gahagan, Sheila; Burrows Argote, Raquel del Carmen (Nature Research, 2021)
      Obesity is the most important predisposing factor for cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes. We explored the relationship between the age at onset of obesity and selected cardiometabolic parameters in young adults. ...
