Excess weight gain in the first 18 months of life is associated with later childhood overweight, obesity and greater arterial wall thickness
Commentary on: Skilton MR, Marks GB, Ayer JG, et al.. Weight gain in infancy and vascular risk factors in later childhood. Pediatrics 2013;131:e1821–8.

Male victims of physical partner violence have poorer physical and mental health than men of the general population
Commentary on: Hines DA, Douglas EM. Health problems of partner violence victims: comparing help-seeking men to a population-based sample. Am J Prev Med 2015;48:136–44. Implications for practice and research High blood pressure, asthma, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are health indicators of female-to-male partner violence (PV).
