Perspective from a Younger Generation -- The Astro-Spectroscopy of Gisbert Winnewisser
Gisbert Winnewisser's astronomical career was practically coextensive with
the whole development of molecular radio astronomy. Here I would like to pick
out a few of his many contributions, which I, personally, find particularly
interesting and put them in the context of newer results.Comment: 14 pages. (Co)authored by members of the MPIfR (Sub)millimeter

Maternal restrictive feeding and eating in the absence of hunger among toddlers: a cohort study
Abstract
Background
Restrictive feeding by parents has been associated with greater eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) among children, a risk factor for obesity. However, few studies have examined the association between restrictive feeding and EAH longitudinally, raising questions regarding the direction of associations between restrictive feeding and child EAH. Our objective was to examine the bidirectional prospective associations between restrictive feeding and EAH among toddlers.
Methods
Low-income mother-child dyads (nâ=â229) participated when children were 21, 27, and 33Â months old. Restriction with regard to food amount and food quality were measured with the Infant Feeding Styles Questionnaire. EAH was measured as kilocalories of food children consumed after a satiating meal. A cross-lagged analysis adjusting for child sex and weight-for-length z-score was used to simultaneously test cross-sectional and bidirectional prospective associations between each type of restriction and childrenâs EAH.
Results
At 21Â months, mothers of children with greater EAH reported higher restriction with regard to food amount (bâ=â0.17, pâ<â.05). Restriction with regard to food amount at age 21Â months was inversely associated with EAH at 27Â months (bâ=ââ0.20, pâ<â.05). Restriction with regard to food amount at 27Â months was not associated with EAH at 33Â months and restriction with regard to food quality was not associated with EAH. EAH did not prospectively predict maternal restriction.
Conclusions
Neither restriction with regard to food amount nor food quality increased risk for EAH among toddlers. Current US clinical practice recommendations for parents to avoid restrictive feeding, and the potential utility of restrictive feeding with regard to food amount in early toddlerhood, deserve further consideration.https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/140394/1/12966_2017_Article_630.pd
