Filter by:More2Sleep is a randomized, controlled, parallel trial with two groups (sleep extension vs control) including 300 school-aged children (6-9 years) who are mildly overweight or obese and habitually sleep for ≤ 9 h/night. Data will be collected before and after a 3-month sleep extension intervention, and after a 6-month follow-up (at months 0, 3, and 9). The collection of data is mainly related to the main study. However, some optional examinations will be conducted on a first come, first serve basis, consisting of substudy-I (metabolic mechanisms, n=60) and substudy-II (learning mechanisms, n=150). The primary objective is to assess the effects of sleep extension by ~45 min/night, achieved by going to bed 60-90 min earlier, on adiposity and learning ability in school-aged children who are overweight or obese, and sleep less than recommended for their age.
The preschool age is a crucial period of growth and an optimal time to begin to establish healthy eating and physical activity habits leading to better food and activity choices into adulthood, thereby minimizing risk for obesity-related diseases and decreasing the cardiometabolic disparities in this Indigenous population. More Outside Your Door is a multi-level, randomized, stepped-wedge intervention trial designed to reduce the disparity of childhood obesity in Yup'ik Alaska Native children by increasing the proportion of nutrient-dense traditional and traditional-like foods offered and increasing physical activity, particularly outdoor activities related to traditional Yup'ik subsistence and lifestyle practices. This 5-year intervention trial targeting 3-5 year olds is conducted in partnership with Rural Action Community Action Program Head Start programs in 12 rural Alaskan communities, where each site is assigned annually to a wedge group to receive either a community-altered culturally-tailored 8-month traditional foods and activities curriculum intervention or the standard regional Head Start program intervention.
Overweigth and obesity are commonly diagnosed in children with type 1 diabetes, and frequently an increase of wiegth and BMI is observed after diagnoses. Hybrid cloosed loop system are new system where insulin is continually adapted to glycemia (using an algorythme). The weight and growth trajectory of children treated with this system is poorly described.
The FACILITY STUDY is aimed at evaluating maternal and children social, cultural, economic and lifestyle-related risk factors for the development of childhood overweight, obesity and early adiposity rebound (EAR). This study consists of two phases: a cross-sectional phase and a retrospective case-control study.
Childhood obesity is a major public health concern worldwide and parents play a powerful role in children's eating behaviour. Most prior studies analysed parents and children's diet almost exclusively by evaluating food composition (i.e. calorie, macro- and micronutrient contents), with no or little attention paid to degree of food processing. The NOVA classification was proposed as a novel way to look at foods based on the degree of processing of foods rather than on their nutritional composition, postulating that processing may be as relevant to health as food composition. The term ultra-processed food (UPF) indicates industrially manufactured ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat formulations made mostly or entirely from substances extracted from foods or derived from food constituents often containing added flavours, colours, emulsifiers and other cosmetic additives. Most importantly, these industrial formulations are designed to maximize palatability and consumption through a combination of calorie-dense ingredients and chemical additives. Robust and well-conducted cohort studies worldwide found that a large dietary share of UPF is associated with shorter survival and an increased risk of non-communicable diseases. Given the rising popularity of UPF globally, and also in Mediterranean countries, the issue of food processing should be prioritized in relevant dietary recommendations with emphasis on consumption of minimally/unprocessed foods.
- Feeding and growth during infancy have been associated with later life body mass index. - Breastfeeding seems to have a small but consistent protective effect against obesity in children. - The Cholesterol content of human milk is 6-fold greater than that of the standard infant formulas. - Infants delivered by caesarean section may be at increased risk of childhood obesity and adulthood obesity.
The primary goal of this study is to prevent undernutrition and obesity in peri-urban areas of Colombia. This study is designed to evaluate the impact of promoting adequate feeding practices and the use of SQ-LNS (Small Quantity Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements) on the nutritional status of infants and young children. The study will be conducted in peri-urban areas of Pasto, Colombia in conjunction with Fundación Saldarriaga Concha and the Colombian Ministry of Health and Social Protection.
