Filter by:Phthalate esters have been considered closely related with childhood obesity, but the existing studies revealed inconsistent results. This study was desigened to investigate the association between phthalate esters and childhood obesity in China.
The goals of this study are to 1) pilot the feasibility of a novel meal kit delivery intervention in families and children with food insecurity and obesity and 2) evaluate the implementation of the pilot intervention.
Childhood obesity increases significantly, and determines several complications in childhood and adulthood, and the worldwide prevalence of childhood obesity has shown a rapid increase in recent decades. The severity of obesity-related risk factors is directly linked to body fat topography, and variations in body fat distribution in obese children can be of high value in predicting future health risks, like of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. There is a potential correlation between obesity and sleep disorders, increasing the predisposition to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, that is a frequent complication, affecting up to 80% of obese children and adolescents. In relation to postural control, and that anthropometric indicators interfere with children's postural balance, already verified by balance assessment using computerized dynamic posturography. Several studies show that physical activity in childhood and adolescence can influence healthy habits in adulthood. Children and youth ages 5 to 17 should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity daily. It is important to emphasize that the COVID-19 has impacted every aspect of healthcare delivery, and therefore Telerehabilitation has been satisfactorily addressed in reabilitation In the exercise recommendations for children, exercise programs performing aerobic and resistance exercises at a high level of intensity, on a frequent basis (3-5 days a week) for 30-80 minutes, seeking intensity of 50-90% of the maximum heart rate (HRmax), can be used and are shown to be efficient for the treatment of obesity. Therefore the High-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes physical exercise that is characterized by brief, intermittent bursts of vigorous activity, interspersed with periods of rest, cab generate favorable metabolic adaptations on sleep and body weight loss. Outcome Measures: Primary Outcome Measures - The effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and high-intensity functional training (HIFT) through Telerehabilitation on body composition and Obstructive sleep apnea (assessed by body mass index and bioimpedanceand polysomnography type 4) Secondary Outcome Measures - Functional performance of children and adolescents (3 minute step test) - Balance (balance assessments with Wii Balance board) Inclusion Criteria: - Age ≥ 6 to 17 years; - Confirmed obesity children by body mass index acorrding to the age
The web-based continuity of care intervention model to provide comprehensive nursing interventions for obese children with NAFLD, always tracking their performance status, enabling them to grasp the knowledge of healthy weight loss, develop good lifestyle habits, and reduce their weight, thus reducing the incidence of NAFLD in children.
The South Texas Early Prevention Study-Prekindergarten (STEPS-PreK4) was a cluster randomized trial (CRT) of preschool children 4 years of age to test the effect of the Bienestar/NEEMA Coordinated School Health Program (BN CSHP) on childhood obesity prevalence prevention.
Introduction. Insulin resistance (IR) accompanies practically half of children with obesity. This alteration is the border between what can be reversible or permanent. Among the comorbidities associated with IR are T2D and cardio and cerebrovascular diseases, which are the leading causes of death in Mexico. It has been said that the prevention of obesity rather than its treatment is the way to contain this problem. It has been proposed to supplement obese children with IR with ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) or ω-9 monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) to determine their ability to reverse these alterations. Objetive. To evaluate the effect of supplementing PUFA ω-3, PUFA ω-9 or both, on the change in anthropometric and metabolic parameters in obese children with IR. Methods. Clinical trial, randomized triple-blind, in which obese children with IR participated. Intervention. Three groups were integrated that received one of the following treatments for three months: Group 1: PUFA ω-3 1.8 g/day; Group 2: PUFA ω-3 0.9 g/day + PUFA ω-9 0.9 g/day (avocado oil). Group 3: MUFA ω-9 1.8 g/day. Tracing. For 2 more months he continued his clinical surveillance. Anthropometric and metabolic profile measurements were made at baseline, 3 and 5 months. Throughout the study, all three child groups received nutritional counseling, but no calorie-restricted diets or exercise programs were used.
This study extends follow up on of Native American (NA) mothers and their children (now age 3-5 years) enrolled in the 1:1 randomized controlled trial of the Family Spirit Nurture (FSN) intervention designed to prevent early childhood obesity (PECO 1). The investigators will examine whether positive FSN impacts on sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and healthy growth in the first year of life were sustained. The investigators will also examine the effects of the emergency COVID-19 water solutions on water insecurity, early childhood SSB consumption, and growth, and explore how COVID-19 affected child feeding patterns and weight status either through changes in maternal mental health or household food access.
This study was a randomized, double-blind controlled protocol in children overweight aged 6-11 years. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of consuming fermented milk products containing Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (LcS), as a probiotic enriched with prebiotic fructans from A. salmiana or inulin-like standard commercial prebiotic to improve the gut microbiota modulation. After providing detailed information, written informed consent was obtained from parents and written and oral assent from participants before the initial test day. Children were eligible for inclusion in the trial if they were overweight according to the World Health Organization (≥85th body mass index (BMI) percentile for overweight). The trial took place in three full-time elementary schools in San Luis Potosí, México, and the screening of the prospective participants took place up to 1 week prior to the randomization. Children were evaluated over a 6-week intervention period receiving different fermented milk products
This is a randomized, controlled pilot trial of Behavioral Family Systems Therapy for Teens with Type 2 Diabetes (BFST-DM2), an individual psychological intervention tailored to meet the needs of teens with type 2 diabetes. It is hypothesized that this behavioral family intervention will be feasible to implement with teens with type 2 diabetes and will have positive effects on treatment adherence, health outcomes like weight status and metabolic control, and psychological outcomes.
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare the effectiveness of an expanded virtual educational program at modifying knowledge, self-efficacy, and behaviors when compared to traditional in-office counseling for guardians of children who are obese or overweight.
