[Truncated abstract] Introduction: Childhood obesity is currently a serious worldwide public health issue associated with many medical and psychosocial complications. The increasing disease burden with the potential for the development of medical co-morbidities has implications for future health care provision. This thesis adds to the understanding of the medical complications of overweight and obesity in childhood. Design and Aims: Two different, but related, research studies are reported. The first study is a cross-sectional study, designed to quantify the medical complications of childhood

The study was conducted in Dubai, one of the main Emirate states. It is a cross sectional descriptive study, conducted between January and April 2004. The sample size was 661(324 males and 337 females). These were all local national students from preparatory and secondary schools with ages ranging from 12 to 17 years. A multi-stage stratified, random sampling technique was used to obtain a representative sample of appropriate size for estimating the prevalence of obesity among adolescents. A short questionnaire was used to obtained information relating to factors which contributed to obes

Abstract:

Despite increasing prevalence, significant negative biopsychosocial consequences, and few treatment options, overweight and obesity in adolescence has received very little attention in the scientific literature. The major objective of this research program was to evaluate the efficacy of a cognitive behavioural (CBT) program in the treatment of adolescent overweight and obesity. Sixty three overweight or obese adolescents (28M, 35F) aged 11.5 to 18.9 years (M = 14.41, SD = 1.85) participated in a randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of a CBT weight loss intervention.

Obesity affects Mexican American adolescents at a much higher rate compared to other ethnic groups, yet little information exists regarding Mexican American adolescents' perceptions of obesity. Culture influences many aspects of one's health, and when better understood, can aid in predicting health behaviors. Several major Mexican cultural values may contribute to Mexican American adolescents' perceptions of obesity and overall health. Healthcare providers must have a deeper understanding of how culture influences adolescents' perceptions of obesity to reduce the obesity trend that currently e

Methods: Two systematic reviews were performed for: i) associations between PWV and obesity; ii) associations between stress, obesity and metabolic risk.

Children across the world are more obese than ever before in history. Children are beginning to manifest weight-associated diseases previously only seen in adulthood. With obese children likely remaining so into adulthood, the implications of childhood obesity are significant and long lasting. This underscores the importance of understanding its development so that it may be reversed. One aspect that has paralleled the rise in obesity is a decline in sleep duration. Epidemiologic studies suggest short sleep might play a role in weight gain and the subsequent the development of obesity among ch
