Abstract:
Maternal overweight/obesity has been associated with an increased risk of obesity in childhood. We investigated the effect of maternal overweight/obesity during pre-pregnancy and whether it is a stronger predictor of child obesity, compared to maternal overweight/obesity during childhood. Prospective or retrospective cohort studies published in English, reporting on obese children and adolescents (2–18 years), with overweight/obese mothers in either pre-pregnancy or during childhood were included. A search was conducted from 2012 to April 2022 in MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and EMBASE, followed by screening, data extraction, quality assessment and narrative synthesis. Eleven eligible studies (9 prospective and 2 retrospective cohort studies; total sample, n = 27,505) were identified. Eight studies examined maternal overweight/obesity in pre-conception, presenting consistent positive associations with childhood obesity, three reported positive associations between childhood obesity and maternal overweight/obesity during childhood, and one presented positive associations between both maternal exposures. The narrative synthesis failed to identify which maternal exposure is the strongest predictor of childhood obesity, with studies reporting significant associations between maternal overweight/obesity and child obesity in both time points. Intervention programs aiming to reduce childhood obesity should focus on supporting women of childbearing age with weight management from preconception and throughout their life-course.

Abstract:
AimThe obesity epidemic in England is growing, with 22% of 4 and 5 year olds and 34% of 10 and 11 year olds being overweight or obese.1 With obesity being linked to several different illnesses including type 2 diabetes and hypertension, it is vital that clinicians are recognising obesity among children as early as possible.This study aims to:Carry out an audit of identification of obesity in paediatric outpatients to determine whether paediatricians are effectively identifying overweight and obese children, and whether practice conforms to standards in medical guidelines.Explore the barriers to discussing overweight and obesity with parents.Carry out a prescription audit and compare against current medical guidelines.2MethodA retrospective review of all new medical patients seen during a one-week period in July was used to determine their weight status and whether they had correctly been identified by clinicians. A short questionnaire was distributed to all clinics at the chosen hospital during a one-week period in October to determine reasons why clinicians may not choose to discuss obesity with patients and their families. A prescription audit was carried out examining the drug cards of all new overweight and obese patients admitted to wards in the chosen hospital to determine if drug doses had been correctly adjusted for weight.Results21% (21) patients in the retrospective audit were classified as either overweight or obese. 28.6% of 4 and 5-year olds were found to be either overweight or obese and 14.3% of 10 and 11-year olds. Only 3 of the 21 overweight or obese patients had been recognised as overweight or obese by clinicians in their notes. The questionnaire found that the most common reasons for not discussing overweight and obesity with patients and their families was concerns about maintaining doctor/patient and doctor/parent relationships. Other reasons given were that there was not enough time in clinic appointments or that the family was already aware. Four overweight or obese patients had been prescribed drugs based on their actual weight rather than ideal weight and therefore had received an overdose. All doses for these patients were adjusted accordingly and re-prescribed in line with trust guidelines.ConclusionsThe results of our study indicate that there is need for regular height and weight checks for all paediatric patients to ensure correct identification and management of overweight and obese children. Ways of doing this may involve more regular height measurements and providing guidelines for medical professionals in how to breech the topic of weight with patients and carers. The results of our pharmacy audit indicate that some overweight and obese children are being prescribed inappropriate doses of medication with clearly shows that there is need for more monitoring of prescribing practices in overweight and obese patients.ReferencesPublic Health England. 2017.

Abstract:
The primary objective of this exploratory study is to understand how ties and influence patterns among actors’ interactions (in this particular case the term actors refer to student/children, father, mother, best friend, and teacher) within an intervention setting affect the students’ dietary habits, physical activities habits and sedentary behaviour. This exploratory study will attempt to identify interesting patterns related to children’s behaviour. As eating habits in children may be affected by various factors, including school intervention, ties and other influence agents, it is extremely difficult to identify the “cause effect relationship” in their eating habits. Therefore, this work is a comprehensive description of our attempt to identify possible factors associated with the improvement of children’s behaviours. The exploratory study hopes that this work forms the basis for future studies where it is possible to better control samples and use improved measurement tools for ties and influence levels. As a result, it will be possible to identify with better precision which factors really influence children’s behaviour. Therefore, not only do the theories and findings presented in this exploratory study entail very different pathways of effect and diverse methodologies for measurement, they also help us to understand the need for innovative ways to design and measure interventions.

Abstract:

The prevalence of overweight and obese individuals has been a critical issue which has caused a worldwide concerns for the health threats, since it is burdened due to several linked diseases. This business plan proposes the establishment of a for-profit health clinic named NutriMed that provides a quality care and is mainly patient centered. This clinic provide the care to decrease the prevalence of overweight and obesity among the children of the ages 5 to 19 years. The functioning of this clinic is based on Barlow et al approach for prevention and treatment of obesity using the multidisciplinary team effort, which consist of physician, dietitian, exercise expert, nurse and behavioral therapist. The goal of this health clinic is to improve the health in the Los Angles community especially for children. This is done by identifying the priorities and striving for a patient-centered and evidence based approach to care. While this plan acknowledges the challenges in serving indigent populations, the clinic will contract with Medi-Cal and commit to continuous fundraising efforts to remain financially sustainable in order to improve the health of vulnerable Angelino’s children.

Abstract:
Childhood obesity continues to grow in the UK despite multiple prevention and intervention strategies. Research on childhood obesity has tended to focus on quantitative research with parents of overweight children, however recently there has been some qualitative studies done with parents and research is beginning to emerge with overweight children themselves. The purpose of this thesis was therefore to draw together the available qualitative research with parents and to undertake an original piece of qualitative research with overweight children. Paper one is a meta-synthesis of qualitative papers examining parents’ perceptions, experiences, beliefs and attitudes to parenting their overweight child. This review involved four phases; systematically searching the literature, applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, undertaking a quality appraisal of the studies and synthesising the findings. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria and two over-arching themes were identified; ambivalence and responsibility. Ambivalence encompassed the sub-themes recognition, parents’ own weight history, uncertainty, and feeding and emotion. The sub-themes resources, attribution and parenting difficulties formed the over-arching theme of responsibility. These findings are discussed in relation to the importance of including parents in childhood weight management interventions and suggestions about what these programmes should focus on in order to be effective. The second paper is an original research study which explored overweight children’s perceptions of their size, and how this affected their self-view. Six participants, aged 8-12, were interviewed and the data was analysed using a combination of Thematic Analysis and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Four themes labelled; recognition, self-view, beliefs about exercise and weight loss, and making sense of eating were identified. The over-arching theme labelled minimisation was found to run through the other themes. These finding are discussed in relation to previous studies, along with their clinical implications and the possible directions for future research. The final paper is a critical appraisal which outlines my experiences of carrying out qualitative research with overweight children and their families. It outlines why I chose this project, and my observations and reflections on undertaking the study. It also discusses what I have learnt from the experience and what I will take forward into my career as a clinical psychologist. Finally it discusses the findings from the thesis as a whole and the possible clinical implications and directions for future research.

Abstract:
The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity is increasing at an alarming rate in the United States. Currently more than 1 in 3 children aged 2-19 are overweight or obese. This is of major concern because childhood overweight and obesity leads to chronic conditions such as type II diabetes and tracks into adulthood, where more severe adverse health outcomes arise. In this study I used the premise of the social ecological model (SEM) to analyze the common levels that a child is exposed to daily; the intrapersonal level, the interpersonal level, the school level, and the community level to better understand what risk factors are significantly associated with child weight status. Data came from the 2012 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) (n=41,361). Frequencies and confidence intervals were used to describe risk factors at each level. Bivariate analyses were conducted between each risk factor and the outcome variable. Using all risk factors that were significantly associated with overweight and obesity in the bivariate analyses, multinomial logistic regressions were performed for each SEM level. The 4 SEM levels were then analyzed together using stagewise multinomial logistic regression. A significance level cutoff of 0.05 was applied to all analyses. Thirty-three percent of participants were overweight or obese. Child sex, race, age, child physical activity participation, mother’s education and health, the child’s family structure, the child’s participation in extracurricular activities, frequency of family meals at home, safety and engagement in school, the number of amenities and the safety and support within their communities were found to be significantly associated with child weight status. The odds ratios of the covariates in the final stagewise model were similar to those in each individual model. Understanding both the risk factors associated with child overweight and obesity in each individual level and in the complete socio-ecological perspective is important when working toward more effective policy and program creation and the reduction of childhood obesity. Recognizing that all levels of a child's SEM influence his or her likelihood of being overweight or obese can lead to more effective strategies that tackle multiple SEM levels collectively instead of each level independently.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Childhood obesity remains a serious nutritional problem in both developed and developing countries. The prevalence of school-age children with obesity has increased more than ten times, from 11 million in 1975 to 124 million in 2016. One of the efforts to overcome the increase in childhood obesity is providing school-based intervention. This study aimed to estimate the effect of a school-based intervention to reduce the risk of obesity in children according to data from primary studies. Subjects and Method: This was a meta analysis and systematic review. Studies published from 2007 to 2018 were collected from Google Scholar, PubMed, BMJ, ScienceDirect, BMC, and Sage databases. Keywords used (preschool OR school) AND (intervention OR program OR prevention) AND (“children obesity” OR “children overweight”) AND “randomized control trials”. The inclusion criteria were full text, in English language, using randomized controlled trial study design, and reporting risk ratio. The selected articles were analyzed by PRISMA guideline and Revman 5.3. Results: 8 studies from China (3), Meksiko, United States (2), Portugal, and German showed that school-based intervention reduced the risk of obesity in children (RR= 0.91; CI 95%= 0.84 to 0.99; p=0.040) with (I2=35%; p=0.150). Conclusion: School-based intervention can reduce the risk of obesity in children. Keywords: school-based intervention, obesity, children Correspondence: Riftiani Nikmatul Nurlaili.

Abstract:
Childhood obesity and loss of physical fitness are rising problems internationally. Although research concerning mitigation strategies has been enforced, empirical results until now fail to address problems and needs of the Gulf region, which has unique geographical and cultural features. Therefore, this study investigated academic performance and physical fitness in normal, overweight, and obese child handball athletes in Qatar. Measurements included anthropometric data (BMI and body fat percentage (%BF)), and physical performance tests: agility T-half test; squat jump (SJ), and countermovement jump (CMJ), 10 and 15 m sprint; medicine ball throw. Aerobic capacity was evaluated using the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test level 1. Academic achievement was assessed through school records of grades point average (GPA) of Mathematics, Science and Arabic. With the exception of medicine ball throw (obese: 4.08 ± 1.05 m) and sprinting parameters (overweight: 10 m: 2.43 ± 0.35 s, 15 m: 3.60 ± 0.46 s), athletes from the normal weight group showed the highest performance level in all parameters. Between group differences existed for the T-Half Test (p = 0.035, ηp2 = 0.190), CMJ (p = 0.001, ηp2 = 0.363) and SJ (p = 0.007, ηp2 = 0.269). For CMJ and SJ, the comparison between overweight and normal weight also yielded a difference (CMJ: p = 0.005; SJ: p = 0.009). The academic parameters generated the largest difference between groups for science (p = 0.057; ηp2 = 0.164). For all parameters studied, the normal weight group had the highest performance level. In contrast, the overweight group showed the lowest level of academic performance. These findings suggest being overweight or obese are related to science academic performance among schoolchildren in Qatar. Physical education teachers should be cognizant that health promotion interventions improving composition may have the additional potential to improve dimensions of academic performance.
