DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The application proposes to develop a comprehensive, ecological research agenda for intergenerational obesity. We define intergenerational obesity along two parallel lines: (1) the developmental course of obesity, with particular focus on two "pivot" or key developmental transition periods where intervention effects may be maximized, young childhood and young adulthood; and relatedly, (2) the intergenerational transmission of obesity. Researchers from social/behavioral, health, exercise, life, medical and engineering sciences will meet regularly to develop a multilevel conceptual model and research agenda that includes both processes and outcomes. This model will inform studies designed over the course of the grant period by smaller working teams. Ongoing formative evaluation will help project teams resolve any collaborative difficulties. Study proposals submitted for funding by the end of the project will advance the field by using multilevel modeling to address interactions between different environmental systems that may affect young children, young adults and their families. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Obesity is considered at epidemic proportions and a major public health issue in the United States and increasingly, across the developed and developing world. Recent estimates are that almost one third of children aged 2-19 are overweight or obese, representing a significant health and economic threat to future generations. To break intergenerational cycles of obesity transmission and arrest obesogenic developmental trajectories, studies must address multiple levels of influence. This project will generate a research agenda and study proposals to address these multifactorial concerns through building strategic interdisciplinary scientific teams dedicated to intergenerational obesity research.

描述（由申请人提供）：申请提议制定代际肥胖的全面生态研究议程。我们沿两个平行线定义了代际肥胖症：（1）肥胖的发育过程，特别关注两个“枢轴”或关键的发育过渡期，在这些期间可能会最大化干预效果，幼儿和年轻的成年期； （2）肥胖的代际传播。来自社会/行为，健康，锻炼，生活，医学和工程科学的研究人员将定期开会，以开发包括过程和结果在内的多层次概念模型和研究议程。该模型将为较小的工作团队在整个赠款期间设计的研究提供信息。正在进行的形成性评估将帮助项目团队解决任何协作困难。在项目结束前提交资金的研究建议将通过使用多层次建模来解决可能影响幼儿，年轻人及其家人之间的不同环境系统之间的互动。 公共卫生相关性：在美国以及越来越多地在发达国家和发展中国家中，肥胖是在流行比例和一个主要的公共卫生问题上考虑的。最近的估计是，2-19岁的儿童中，几乎三分之一的人超重或肥胖，代表了对子孙后代的重大健康和经济威胁。为了打破肥胖传播和阻碍肥胖发育轨迹的代际周期，研究必须解决多种影响的影响。该项目将通过建立致力于代际肥胖研究的战略性跨学科科学团队来制定研究议程和研究建议，以解决这些多因素问题。
