Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
More knowledge seems necessary about risk groups and determinants of overweight and obesity and how these are entangled in order to be able to prevent and treat them effectively. In this article factors that either may prevent, stabilize or reduce overweight are described. We conclude that there is strong evidence for a dose-response relationship between short sleep duration and excess bodyweight in young children (and adolescents). Short sleep duration is becoming increasingly prevalent in children and this trend has paralleled the dramatic increase in the prevalence of obesity. Sleep is important for understanding childhood weight problems. Parents should be encouraged to put their young children to bed early enough, so that they can sleep at least 10 to 11 hours a night. This intervention may present an important and relatively low-cost strategy to reduce childhood weight problems. A second important determinant is the presence of a television/computer in a young child's sleeping room. Lastly, research into childrearing styles and practices demonstrates the importance of an authoritative child rearing style, which is defined as high sensitivity of the caregiver towards the child combined with realistic expectations concerning the possibility of self-control of the child. A restrictive child rearing style defined as too low sensitivity and a permissive or neglective style increases the risk of overweight and obesity.
