RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether early diet and weight gain velocity have independent or interactive effects on deciduous teeth emergence and overweight status during the first year. STUDY DESIGN: Monthly measures of anthropometry and teeth eruption were collected during a 1-year trial (0.5-12.5 months) on formula-fed infants in which the type of randomized infant formula (cow milk or extensively hydrolyzed protein) diet significantly affected early (0.5-4.5 months) weight gain velocity. Generalized linear mixed models determined whether early diet and weight gain velocity had independent or interactive effects on timing and pattern of teeth eruption. Data from a trial on breastfed infants were used to explore effects of breast milk vs infant formula diets on teeth eruption and overweight status at 10.5 months. RESULTS: Independent of infant formula diet, velocities of weight gain had direct effects on the age of first deciduous tooth (P < .04) and number of erupted teeth over time (P < .002). Greater velocity of weight gain from 0.5 to 4.5 months caused earlier and more frequent eruption of deciduous teeth from 4.5 to 12.5 months. Exploratory follow-up analyses on the breastfed and formula-fed diet groups found early weight gain velocity (P = .001), but not diet or its interaction, had significant effects. Infants in the upper quartile for weight gain velocity had more primary teeth (P = .002), and a greater proportion of them were overweight (P < .001) at 10.5 months. CONCLUSIONS: Faster weight gain accretion forecasted accelerated primary teeth eruption and increased percentage of children who were overweight-risk factors for dental caries and obesity.

BACKGROUND: Black smokers have earlier development of lung disease as well as poorer sleep health than whites. RESEARCH QUESTION: In a sample of black smokers, to what extent does sleep health modify the association between smoking level and functional exercise capacity? DESIGN AND METHODS: Cross-sectional data from 209 black smokers (≥ 1 cigarette in last month), aged 40 to 65 years with no evidence of sleep-disordered breathing (apnea-hypopnea index < 15) or severe COPD (FEV1 > 50%), were used for the current study. Self-reported smoking rate, objectively measured sleep efficiency (SE), total sleep time (TST), and the 6-min walk test (6MWT) for functional exercise capacity were the key assessments. RESULTS: The mean age was 54.8 years (SD, 5.96), and mean cigarettes smoked per day (cpd) was 8.71 (SD, 6.78). Mean SE was 69.9% (SD, 12.3%), and mean TST was 307.99 min (SD 92.2). In adjusted linear regression models of the 6MWT (meters), TST (slope estimate, -0.14; P = .14) and SE (slope estimate, -1.0; P = .19) were negatively associated with 6MWT. The smoking rate × SE interaction was highly significant (slope estimate, 0.18; P = .007) such that in individuals who smoked ≥ 10 cpd, every additional percentage of SE garnered an additional distance of 0.83 to 6.62 m. Similarly, the smoking rate × TST interaction was significant (slope estimate, 0.019; P = .03) such that in smokers who smoked ≥ 10 cpd, every additional minute of TST garnered an additional distance of 0.04 to 0.60 m. INTERPRETATION: Higher SE and, to a lesser extent, longer TST, in black adults who smoke ≥ 10 cpd is associated with better 6MWT performance.
