Abstract:
Obesity is a critical universal well-being challenge. Obesity is influencing various chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetic illnesses, strokes, cardiovascular ailments, and different kinds of cancer. Treatment of obesity becomes subject to high healthcare costs and lifestyle modifications. However, the most worrying aspect in Saudi Arabia is the intensifying obese-related cases among kids and teenagers. Progression of the condition becomes complex to manage. Again, the vital or severity of health consequences of childhood obesity underscores the disorder as a community health issue in the country. Kids’ and teenagers’ obesity cases have adverse effects on life quality and expectancy and lead to substantial healthcare expenses. Evaluation of various research underscores a relation between obesity, socio-economic status, and lifestyle changes. According to Al-Hussaini et al. (2019), economic success and subsequent lifestyle shifts incorporating sedentary lifestyles and dietary mannerisms continue to influence child and adolescent obesity in Saudi. The evaluation of literature on obesity-related cases in the country offers a better comprehension of the link between child or adolescent obesity and lifestyle factors, which enables one to understand how to prevent and manage the condition effectively.

Abstract:
In this article, we review evidence about the treatment of obesity that may have applications in primary care, community, and tertiary care settings. We examine current information about eating behaviors, physical activity behaviors, and sedentary behaviors that may affect weight in children and adolescents. We also review studies of multidisciplinary behavior-based obesity treatment programs and information about more aggressive forms of treatment. The writing group has drawn from the available evidence to propose a comprehensive 4-step or staged-care approach for weight management that includes the following stages: (1) Prevention Plus; (2) structured weight management; (3) comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention; and (4) tertiary care intervention. We suggest that providers encourage healthy behaviors while using techniques to motivate patients and families, and interventions should be tailored to the individual child and family. Although more intense treatment stages will generally occur outside the typical office setting, offices can implement less intense intervention strategies. We not ony address specific patient behavior goals but also encourage practices to modify office systems to streamline office-based care and to prepare to coordinate with professionals and programs outside the office for more intensive interventions.

Abstract:
The World Health Organization estimates that 22 million children worldwide aged <5 years are overweight and highlights tackling childhood obesity as an urgent priority. Childhood obesity is rising to epidemic proportions in the developing world, reflecting changing physical activity levels and dietary intakes, adding a significant public health burden to countries where undernutrition remains common. Interventions to prevent childhood obesity have had disappointing results, because the science and aetiology of obesity is poorly understood and prevention programmes have not targeted appropriate behaviours nor adequately engaged communities being studied. The origins of obesity appear simple, excess energy intake and/or low energy levels expended on physical activity, leading to chronic energy imbalance. However, the problem is more complex with underlying societal, behavioural and genetic causes of energy imbalance remaining unclear. Obesity is driven by individual, household and community factors: research to date has concentrated on individual factors with almost no significant focus on higher level influences on obesity. Findings from studies in developed countries are unlikely to be applicable to rural African settings where there is an increasing transition from a state of undernutrition to that of overnutrition. Few data exist on the prevalence of child and adolescent obesity from low and middle income countries like South Africa. This thesis aimed to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents (aged 7-15 years) within this population and to identify possible risk factors. Participants and Methods The study was cross-sectional and involved collecting primary data in local schools. A total of 1,519 subjects were recruited from three age groups (approximately 500 from each age group 7, 11 and 15 years). Participants were recruited from school grades 1, 5 and 9 corresponding to the ages 7, 11 and 15 years respectively. The study comprised two parts, a main cross-sectional study and a further study including a sub-sample of the participants. In the main cross-sectional study anthropometric measurements (height, weight, mid-upper arm circumference and body fat) were performed on all the participants and a lifestyle questionnaire administered (questions related to water collection, travel to school, TV watching and sport participation). The study took place in a demographic surveillance area and data collected from participants was linked with their household/community data to allow analysis of variables associated with overweight/overfat status. 150 participants were randomly selected from the main study (50 from each age group 7, 11 and 15 years) and invited to take part in a sub-sample study which included objective measurement of physical activity (7 days accelerometry) and dietary assessment (2 x 24 hour multiple pass recall assessments) on each participant. Main Findings Prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher in girls than boys and was highest in the oldest age groups for females. Using the Cole/IOTF BMI for age reference combined overweight and obesity was 23% in grade 9 females compared to only 6% in boys in the same grade (p<0.01). The lifestyle questionnaire revealed high levels of water collection, active commuting and TV watching.

Abstract:
Research over the previous decades has shown us that early life influences have long-term effects on health and disease. Emerging science supports a role in the pathogenesis of obesity and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) for novel risk factors like maternal metabolic health, socioeconomic position (SEP), and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This thesis aimed to examine the role of early life predictors, focusing on maternal, chemical and social factors, on child growth and early adolescent cardiovascular health using traditional and novel measures of preclinical phenotypes. The findings suggest that early life exposure to maternal metabolic parameters and EDCs appear to have a potentially adverse effect on child growth and early adolescent cardiovascular health, which may be modified by SEP. Given how widespread exposure to EDCs is, the importance of maternal health status prior to pregnancy, and the increasing rates of obesity and CVD, these findings are of critical importance.<br>Las investigaciones realizadas durante las décadas anteriores demostraron que las influencias de la vida temprana tienen efectos a largo plazo sobre la salud y la enfermedad. La ciencia emergente respalda un papel en la patogénesis de la obesidad y las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) para nuevos factores de riesgo como la salud metabólica materna, la posición socioeconómica (SEP) y los químicos disruptores endocrinos (EDC). Esta tesis tuvo como objetivo examinar el papel de los predictores de la vida temprana, centrándose en los factores maternos, químicos y sociales, en el crecimiento infantil y la salud cardiovascular de la adolescencia temprana utilizando medidas tradicionales y novedosas de fenotipos preclínicos. Los hallazgos sugieren que la exposición temprana en la vida a los parámetros metabólicos maternos y los EDC parecen tener un efecto potencialmente adverso sobre el crecimiento infantil y la salud cardiovascular de la adolescencia temprana, que puede ser modificado por SEP. Dado lo generalizada que es la exposición a los EDC, la importancia del estado de salud materna antes del embarazo y las crecientes tasas de obesidad y ECV, estos hallazgos son de vital importancia.

Abstract:
Syfte sjuksköterskans erfarenheter av det preventiva arbetet rörande övervikt och fetma hos barn och ungdomar. Bakgrund Fetma är ett världsomspännande problem som drabbar över 10% av världens befolkning. WHO uppskattar att 42 miljoner barn under 5 år har övervikt eller fetma. Fler människor avlider i dagsläget av sjukdomar relaterat till övervikt och fetma än av undervikt och malnutrition. Fördelningen av de som har övervikt och fetma är skev och de ur samhällets lägre sociala skikt, invandrare eller bor på glesbygden har högre risk att drabbas. De fysiska och psykiska negativa konsekvenserna av fetma och övervikt är många. Metod En kvalitativ litteraturstudie där 11 artiklar har ingått. Genom kritisk granskning och analys har artiklarna sammanställts till ett resultat. Resultat Resultatet innefattar två huvudkategorier: “Sjuksköterskans erfarenhet av det preventiva arbetet” som tar upp möjligheter och hinder vid rådgivning, bemötande och interaktion, hjälpmedel och tid. Den andra huvudkategorin - “Vårdens organisation” beskriver bristfälligt samarbete och stöd samt riktlinjer och preventionsåtgärder.   Konklusion Det finns ett stort behov av att ge sjuksköterskor mer tid att arbeta preventivt, mer kunskap om hjälpmedel och fler möjligheter att samarbeta med kollegor och andra professioner.<br>Aim Nurses’ experiences of the preventive work regarding overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.   Background Obesity is a worldwide problem that affects over 10% of the world population. WHO estimates that 42 million children under 5 years are overweight or obese. More people die of diseases related to overweight and obesity than of underweight and malnutrition. The distribution of those with overweight and obesity is skewed and from society’s lower social strata, immigrants or people living in a rural areas have a higher risk to be obese. The physical and psychological consequences of obesity are many.   Method A qualitative literature review that included 11 articles. The result was created by a critical review, analyze and summarization.   Result The result included two main themes: “ Nurses’ experience in the preventive work” which addressed the opportunities and barriers with counseling, refutation and interaction, aids and time. The last major category - “Healthcare organization” describes insufficient cooperation and support as well as guidelines and prevention measures. Conclusion There is a great need to give nurses more time to work preventive, give more knowledge of utilities and more opportunities to collaborate with colleagues and other professionals.

Abstract:
Introdução: Conhecer as respostas proteômicas de diferentes grupos metabólicos após uma intervenção nutricional poderia ajudar a identificar biomarcadores e o tratamento dietético mais apropriado para diferentes perfis de indivíduos. Objetivos: Descrever dois diferentes grupos metabólicos em um estudo de intervenção nutricional; descrever o perfil lipídico, os níveis de glicose e os dados proteômicos ao longo do estudo nesses dois grupos. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo de intervenção \"N-of-1\", com indivíduos de 9 a 13 anos, no qual ocorreu avaliação antropométrica, de composição corporal, de ingestão alimentar, bioquímica e proteômica em três momentos: no início do estudo (momento 1), após 6 semanas de suplementação diária de micronutrientes (momento 2), e após outras 6 semanas sem nenhuma intervenção (momento 3). A técnica estatística \"k-means clustering\" foi utilizada para alocar os participantes em dois grupos metabólicos distintos (cluster 1 e cluster 2), de acordo com os perfis glicídicos e lipídicos (glicemia, triglicerídeos, colesterol total, LDL, HDL e VLDL colesterol) que os indivíduos apresentaram nos três momentos do estudo. Resultados: O cluster 1 (n = 111) teve melhor perfil glico-lipídico e também apresentou menores valores para índice de massa corporal, circunferência de cintura e porcentagem de gordura corporal nos três momentos do estudo, comparado ao cluster 2 (n = 25). A ingestão alimentar não diferiu entre os clusters em nenhum momento do estudo. Com a suplementação de micronutrientes, o cluster 1 apresentou redução de glicemia, LDL e colesterol total, além de diminuir sua ingestão de energia, carboidrato, lipídeo e proteína, enquanto o cluster 2 reduziu LDL, colesterol total e HDL e não alterou sua ingestão de energia e macronutrientes. Foi identificada a expressão de 20 proteínas no plasma dos indivíduos dos clusters 1 e 2, sendo que a maioria delas evoluiu de maneira diferente entre os dois grupos após a intervenção. Com a suplementação, o cluster 1 apresentou aumento na expressão de alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1, alpha- 2-HS-glycoprotein, ceruloplasmin e de fibrinogen alpha, beta e gamma chain, bem como redução na expressão de apolipoprotein A-IV, haptoglobin, Ig alpha-1 chain C region, serotransferrin e vitamin D-binding protein. No mesmo período, o cluster 2 mostrou aumento de alpha-1-antitrypsin, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, Ig alpha-1 chain C region e plasma protease C1 inhibitor, além de diminuição na expressão de alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1 e de fibrinogen alpha, beta e gamma chain. Conclusões: É possível que tenha ocorrido aumento de expressão de proteínas que podem ter auxiliado na melhora do perfil glico-lipídico dos participantes. O cluster de pior perfil parece ter se beneficiado mais com a intervenção em relação à expressão de proteínas do que o cluster de melhor perfil. O estudo do perfil genético poderia ajudar no entendimento da resposta metabólica dos indivíduos.<br>Introduction: Knowing the proteomic responses from different metabolic groups after a nutritional intervention could help to identify biomarkers and the most appropriate dietary treatment for different profiles of subjects. Aims: To describe two different metabolic groups in a nutritional intervention study; To describe the lipid profile, glucose levels and proteomic data throughout the study in these two groups. Methodology: An \"N-of-1\" intervention study was carried out with subjects from 9 to 13 years of age, in which anthropometric, body composition, food intake, biochemical and proteomics evaluation was performed in three moments: at the beginning of the study (moment 1), after 6 weeks of daily micronutrient supplementation (moment 2), and after another 6 weeks without any intervention (moment 3). The \"k-means clustering\" technique was used to allocate the participants to two distinct metabolic groups (cluster 1 and cluster 2) according to the glucose and lipid profiles (glycemia, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and VLDL cholesterol) that these subjects presented at the three moments of the study. Results: Cluster 1 (n = 111) had a better glycemic and lipid profile and also presented lower values for body mass index, waist circumference and body fat percentage in the three moments of the study, compared to cluster 2 (n = 25). Food intake did not differ between the clusters in any moment of the study. With supplementation, cluster 1 showed a decrease in glycemia, LDL and total cholesterol, as well as decreased energy, carbohydrate, lipid and protein intake, while cluster 2 reduced LDL, total cholesterol and HDL and did not alter its energy and macronutrients intake. It was identified the expression of 20 proteins in the plasma of the subjects from clusters 1 and 2, and most of them evolved differently between the two groups after the intervention. Cluster 1 showed increase in expression of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1, alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein, ceruloplasmin and alpha, beta and gamma chain fibrinogen, as well as reduction in expression of apolipoprotein A-IV, haptoglobin, Ig alpha-1 chain C region, serotransferrin and vitamin D-binding protein. In the same period, cluster 2 showed an increase of alpha-1-antitrypsin, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, Ig alpha-1 chain C region and plasma protease C1 inhibitor, as well as decrease in the expression of alpha-1- acid glycoprotein 1 and alpha fibrinogen, beta and gamma chain. Conclusions: It is possible that there was occurred an increase in the expression of proteins that may have helped to improve glycemic and lipid profiles of the participants. The worst-profile cluster seems to have benefited more from the intervention in relation to protein expression than the cluster with the best profile. The study of the genetic profile could help in the understanding of the individuals metabolic response.

Abstract:
The proportion of obese adolescents in Southern Appalachia is among the highest in the nation. Currently there are few effective programs that address this issue, especially among high school students. Through funding from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities in the National Institutes of Health, the Team Up for Healthy Living Project targets obesity prevention in adolescents through a crosspeer intervention. The specific aims of the project are: 1) To develop a peer-based health education program focusing on establishing positive peer norms and supportive peer relationships toward healthy eating and physical activity among high school students, 2) To test the efficacy of the program, and 3) To explore the mechanisms underlying the program. The intervention is based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, which presupposes that human behavior is primarily driven by attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and social support. Through influencing these components, the intervention is expected to improve eating behavior, increase physical activity, and lead to healthier body weight among adolescents in Southern Appalachia. Ten area high schools were selected to be a part of the project, and schools were matched based on similar demographics (school size and number of students enrolled) and were randomized to intervention or control. Wave one of baseline data collection was completed in January 2012; with 265 students assigned to intervention and 276 to control. A second wave of subject recruitment will occur in fall 2012. To deliver the intervention, undergraduate students from the disciplines of Public Health, Nutrition, and Kinesiology were trained as peer facilitators. These peer facilitators are teaching the eight-week Team Up curriculum during Lifetime Wellness classes at intervention schools. The curriculum focuses on nutrition awareness, physical activity, leadership, and communication skills. Page 84 2012 Appalachian Student Research Forum Control group participants receive their regularly scheduled Lifetime Wellness curriculum. Body mass index percentile, dietary behavior, and physical activity among study subjects will be assessed at baseline, and at three and twelve months post-baseline. In addition, peer group norms, body image, supportive peer relationships, role modeling, behavioral control/self-efficacy, attitudes, and intentions toward healthy eating and physical activity will also be assessed. Group differences will be assessed at each data collection period. The long-term goal of the study is to establish an effective academia-community partnership program to address adolescent obesity disparity in Southern Appalachia.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Övervikt och fetma bland barn och ungdomar är ett växande samhällsproblem då det ökar världen över och är en stor riskfaktor till att drabbas av många av de välfärdssjukdomarna som finns idag. Orsakerna till att drabbas av övervikt eller fetma är en blandning av levnadsvanor, genetiska-, sociala-, psykologiska- och kulturella faktorer. Barn som är överviktiga eller lider av fetma riskerar att vara det livet ut. Sjuksköterskan har som uppgift att främja hälsa genom att ha en holistisk syn på individen. En insikt i hur varje person uppfattar sin livskvalitet är därför en grundläggande utgångspunkt.  Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva barn och ungdomars livskvalitet vid övervikt eller fetma skattat utifrån det egna och föräldrarnas perspektiv.  Metod: Litteraturstudie av beskrivande design som omfattar 12 stycken artiklar, varav en använde mixed method och de övriga 11 använde kvantitativ ansats.  Huvudresultat: Barn och ungdomar som led av övervikt eller fetma skattade ofta sin livskvalitet lågt. Detta framför allt i kategorierna för fysiska- psykiska- och sociala funktioner då många uppgav sämre fysiskt välmående och hade svårigheter att delta i fysisk aktivitet, upplevde nedstämdhet och hade en låg självkänsla. Erfarenheter av mobbing och utanförskap var vanligt förekommande hos dessa barn och ungdomar.  Slutsats: Samband mellan låg livskvalitet och ökad vikt kunde observeras i domänerna för fysisk- psykisk- och social funktion. Då övervikt och fetma bland barn och ungdomar ständigt ökar världen över behöver sjuksköterskan ha en förståelse för detta fenomen för att kunna ha ett holistiskt synsätt på individen och ge ett gott stöd för att stärka barnen och ungdomarnas känsla av sammanhang i sitt arbete med att främja hälsa.<br>Background: Overweight and obesity among children and adolescents is an increasing societal problem all over the world and a serious risk factor of being affected by many of the welfare diseases that exists in present time. The main causes of being overweight or obese is a mix of living habits, genetic- social-, psychological- and cultural factors. Children who are overweight or suffer from obesity have a great risk of being in that condition for the rest of their lives. It is in the nurses tasks to promote health by a holistic viewpoint of the individual. An insight of each person’s perception of their quality of life is a fundamental starting point.  Aim: To describe children and adolescents quality of life when overweight or obese, estimated on personal and parent perspective.  Method: A literature study of descriptive design based on twelve articles wherein one article used a mixed-method and the remaining eleven used a quantitative approach.  Main result: Children and adolescents who were overweight or suffered from obesity often assessed a low quality of life. Prominently in the categories of physical- psychological- and social functioning where many declared a decrease in physical wellness and difficulties in participating in physical activities, experienced depression and a low self-esteem. Experiences of bullying and alienation were common in these children and adolescents.  Conclusion: A correlation between a low quality of life and an increase in weight were observed in the domains of physical-, psychological- and social functioning. Because of the global increase in overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, the nurse needs an understanding of the phenomenon in order to have a holistic approach to the individual and act as support system to strengthen these children and adolescents’ sense of coherence in order to promote health in the profession.
