  • Association between early weight gain and later adiposity in Sri Lankan adolescents 
    Samaranayake, D.; Lanerolle, P.; Waidyatilaka, I.; de Lanerolle-Dias, M.; Hills, A. P.; Wickremasinghe, A.R.; Wickramasinghe, V.P. (Cambridge University Press., 2021)
    ABSTRACT: Early growth pattern is increasingly recognized as a determinant of later obesity. This study aimed to identify the association between weight gain in early life and anthropometry, adiposity, leptin, and fasting ...
  • Develepment and validation of a BIA prediction equation for 11-13 year old Sri Lankan girls 
    Samaranayake, D.; Dabare, H. P. M.; de Lanerolle-Dias, M.; Waidyatilaka, I.; Jayawardena, R.; Hills, A. P.; Wickremasinghe, A.R.; Lanerolle, P.; Wickramasinghe, V.P. (Sri Lanka Medical Association, 2018)
    INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Population-specific measures of body composition are important in management of childhood obesity. This study aimed to develop and validate a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) equation ...
  • Lifestyle patterns and dysglycaemic risk in urban Sri Lankan women 
    Waidyatilaka, I.; de Silva, A.; de Lanerolle-Dias, M.; Wickremasinghe, R.; Atukorala, S.; Somasundaram, N.; Lanerolle, P. (Cambridge University Press, 2014)
    Specific dietary patterns are associated with the risk of chronic disease. An in-depth understanding more reflective of lifestyle would be possible when assessing the synergistic effects of both diet and physical activity ...
  • Prediction equation for physical activity energy expenditure in 11-13-year-old Sri Lankan children 
    Dabare, P.; Wickramasinghe, P.; Waidyatilaka, I.; Devi, S.; Kurpad, A.V.; Samaranayake, D.; de Lanerolle-Dias, M.; Wickremasinghe, R.; Hills, A.P.; Lanerolle, P. (MDPI Publishing, 2023)
    This study aimed to develop a regression equation to predict physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) using accelerometry. Children aged 11-13 years were recruited and randomly assigned to validation (n = 54) and ...
  • School-based physical activity intervention in 11-13-year-olds: study protocol for cluster randomized controlled trial 
    Prasangi, M.; Dabare; Waidyatilaka, I.; Jayawardena, R.; Wickremasinghe, R.; Andrew, P.; Hills; Wickramasinghe, P.; Lanerolle, P. (Medip Academy, 2019)
    Background: Targeted strategies to enhance regular physical activity appear to be promising to promote health and well-being of adolescents. This article reports the design of a cluster randomised controlled trial to ...
  • Sedentary behaviour and physical activity in South Asian women: time to review current recommendations? 
    Waidyatilaka, I.; Lanerolle, P.; Wickremasinghe, R.; Atukorala, S.; Somasundaram, N.; de Silva, A. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
    OBJECTIVE: Our aims were to describe activity and sedentary behaviours in urban Asian women, with dysglycaemia (diagnosed at recruitment), and without dysglycaemia and examine the relative contribution of these parameters ...
  • Validation of accelerometer-based energy expenditure equations using doubly-labelled water technique in 11-13 year-old Sri Lankan children 
    Dabare, P.M.; Wickramasinghe, P.; Waidyatilaka, I.; Devi, S.; Kurpad, A.V.; Samaranayake, D.; de Lanerolle-Dias, M.; Wickremasinghe, R.; Hills, A.P.; Lanerolle, P. (Sri Lanka College of Paediatricians, 2021)
    INTRODUCTION: Accelerometer based prediction equations are used to calculate physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) among children. Currently, accelerometer-derived PAEE prediction equations validated against a criterion ...
  • Validity of BIA prediction equations in determining the fat mass of 11-13 year old Sri Lankan girls 
    Samaranayake, D.; Dabare, H. P. M.; de Lanerolle-Dias, M.; Waidyatilaka, I.; Jayawardena, R.; Hills, A. P.; Wickremasinghe, A.R.; Wickramasinghe, V.P.; Lanerolle, P. (Sri Lanka Medical Association, 2018)
    INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a simple body composition assessment method, based on use of prediction equations. Validation of equations for the specific populations is important ...
