Asthma and obesity are both prevalent conditions that appear related, but the etiology for this association remains unclear. This study examines whether asthma is associated with obesity and physical activity limits 10 years later among a subsample from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 who were age 40 at baseline.

Introduction: Past research shows that adolescents who initiate sexual activity at a later age have lower risk of subsequent depression. However, this association is likely highly confounded. Our study evaluates whether male and female adolescents who have later sexual debut are less likely to become depressed, as well as whether this association varies by age cohort.

Methods: We used nearest neighbor matching on the NLSY79 and NLSY97 surveys, to evaluate the association between age of sexual debut and positive depression screening. We stratified by gender and matched on 11 baseline demographic, family, and sociocultural covariates. We then conducted logistic regressions to predict depression 8-10 years after first coitus was surveyed, based on whose sexual debut came before vs. after the age of eighteen.
