METHODS: A total of 2253 children aged 6.0-11.0 years were assessed: 49.3% girls and 50.7% boys. Children's weight and height were measured, age and sex-specific BMI cut-off points were used to define normal vs overweight/obesity. Children's organized sports (OS) activity was assessed by questionnaire, and local facilities for children's engagement in OS were analyzed. Logistic regression models were computed, adjusted for confounding variables. RESULTS: Results showed greater overweight and obesity (25.1% vs 20.1%) and lower OS engagement (66.5% vs 73.8%) in girls as well as greater impact of OS engagement on weight status in girls (OR for having a normal weight = 1.434 in girls vs 1.043 in boys). Additionally, opportunities to engage in OS were scarce for girls. CONCLUSIONS: The gender gap in children's weight status and OS engagement might be enhanced by an environmental mismatch that undermines girls' opportunities to play sports. There should be more opportunities for girls to engage in their favorite sports as a means to tackle the obesity epidemic and to promote gender equality.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31502359</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nogueira, Helena&lt;br/&gt;Costeira E Pereira, Margarida M&lt;br/&gt;Costa, Diogo&lt;br/&gt;Gama, Augusta&lt;br/&gt;Machado-Rodrigues, Aristides&lt;br/&gt;Silva, Maria-Raquel&lt;br/&gt;Marques, Vitor R&lt;br/&gt;Padez, Cristina M&lt;br/&gt;eng&lt;br/&gt;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't&lt;br/&gt;2019/09/11&lt;br/&gt;Am J Hum Biol. 2020 Mar;32(2):e23322. doi: 10.1002/ajhb.23322.

Thus, this study's main goal was to verify if there is an association between the neighborhood urban design and childhood obesity-independent of well-known childhood obesity determinants, such as, father's level of schooling (as a proxy for socioeconomic status), and parent's weight status. METHODS: This study classifies neighborhoods according to land use and building features using hierarchical clusters analysis and examines their association with childhood obesity through logistic regression models. RESULTS: Four clusters resulted from the analysis: Cluster 1 represents areas with older buildings and mixed land use, cluster 2 is an area with small rented buildings and urban areas, cluster 3 comprises newer buildings with parking and urban green space, and cluster 4 is a forest area. Living in cluster 3 protects from childhood obesity, even when adjusting for father's level of schooling or parent's weight status. CONCLUSIONS: There are distinct urban configurations in Lisbon's municipality and children who live in Cluster 3 (more recent and greener neighborhoods) seem to be protected from obesity. Therefore, public policy should focus on healthy urban planning at the neighborhood level, to promote positive impacts on peoples' health.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30869821</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pereira, Margarida&lt;br/&gt;Nogueira, Helena&lt;br/&gt;Padez, Cristina&lt;br/&gt;eng&lt;br/&gt;SFRH/BD/133140/2017/Foundation for the Science and Technologies/International&lt;br/&gt;PTDC/DTP-SAP/1520/2014/Foundation for the Science and Technologies/International&lt;br/&gt;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't&lt;br/&gt;2019/03/15&lt;br/&gt;Am J Hum Biol. 2019 May;31(3):e23220. doi: 10.1002/ajhb.23220.

There are different regulations, guidelines and health care policies worldwide. This mixed-methods study aimed to assess the opinion of patients about the embryo storage time limit, and the perception of the criteria underlying the establishment of the storage period offered to them. Between August 2011 and December 2012, 534 IVF patients from Portugal participated in a quantitative questionnaire and 34 couples were interviewed. Overall, 38% of participants preferred the duration of 4-5 years, 38% extended it beyond 5 years and 23% indicated 3 years. Having experienced at least one previous cycle was directly associated with agreeing with a duration of storage longer than 5 years, for both women and men. Having children was inversely associated with longer duration of storage, among women. One-third of the 34 interviewed couples stated that their knowledge concerning embryo storage was insufficient. Nevertheless, all the interviewees reported at least one possible reason for the legal establishment of the storage period offered to them, highlighting financial costs and decreased embryo quality. There are misconceptions and gaps in awareness of cryopreservation, which may shape patients' opinions. Accurate information regarding policy on storage of embryos is needed.&lt;/p&gt;
