CHILDHOOD OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY AND THE RISK OF DEPRESSION ACROSS THE LIFESPAN

INTRODUCTION
Overweight and obesity continue to increase not only in children but also adults, in both developing and developed countries; has become a global health problem. In Vietnam, the rate of TCBP children is also increasing rapidly. The underlying cause of overweight and obesity is an ener[r]

Psychological and behavioral correlates are considered important in the development and persistence of obesity in both adults and youth. This study aimed to identify such features in youth with severe obesity (BMI ≥ 120% of 95thpercentile of sex-specific BMI-for-age) compared to those with overweigh[r]

The study was conducted with the objective to find the association of physical activity with that of overweight and obesity in school students of age group 10-14 years. The random sampling method was used for selecting the students of both the sexes from their respective classes (5th to 9 th class)[r]

Screening and Treatment
The early identification and treatment of toxic stress, including child maltreatment, can lessen the associated long-term negative health and behavioral outcomes. Daycare providers, teachers, and other adults who interact f[r]

The sustainability of intervention impact for obesity is a critical problem faced by practitioners. Short-term behavioural interventions seem not to be effective, par- ticularly in the absence of complementary interventions that address sustainability and fo[r]

Childhood obesity is one of the most challenging public health issues of twenty-first century. While we know that there is an increase in prevalence of childhood and adolescence obesity, incidence studies must be carried out.

Little is known about the suitability of three commonly used body mass index (BMI) classification systems for Indigenous youth. We estimated overweight and obesity prevalence among Cree youth of Eeyou Istchee according to three BMI classification systems, assessed the level of agreement between them[r]

Adolescents with overweight and obesity report various motivations for weight loss other than the desire for better health. However, there is little evidence regarding the main motivations for weight loss in adolescents. The present systematic review aimed to identify the motivations for weight loss[r]

Sleep problems are a major risk factor for the emergence of depression in adolescence. The aim of this study was to test whether an intervention for improving sleep habits could prevent the emergence of depression, and improve well-being and cardiovascular indices amongst at-risk adolescents.

Conclusions
Molecular genetic studies of childhood and adolescent depression are only just beginning and tend to include small samples. There are complex issues regarding phenotypic definition and heterogeneity that need to be addres[r]

Obesity is found to increase the risk of most cancer types, but reduce lung cancer risk in many studies. However, the association between obesity and lung cancer is still controversial, mainly owing to the confounding effect of smoking.

The IOTF defined percentile curves for overweight and obesity which intersect the adult cut-off points of a BMI of 25kg/m² and 30kg/m2 at age 18 years, respectively.43 The cut-off points[r]

METHODS OF ASSESSING OVERWEIGHT-OBESITY STATUS IN CHILDREN Overweight-obesity assessments are usually based on the following main methods: assessment based on anthropometric indicators; [r]

Childhood obesity and early puberty are intermediate risk factors for later metabolic and reproductive disorders including diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and breast cancer.

Obesity is a major public health concern in the United States and should be addressed as early as possible, in childhood. Disparities exist in obesity prevalence and its associated comorbidities by racial/ethnic group, however less is known about the smaller racial/ethnic subclasses that are often a[r]

The study evaluates children in schools that participate in the School Health Program in the Northern region of Brazil with the objective of assessing whether their schools interfered in the development of overweight/ obesity and how individual and school environment variables behave according to co[r]

The prevalence of overweight and obesity (OWOB) has stabilized in some countries, but a portion of children with high body mass index (BMI) may have become heavier. This study aimed to describe the distributions of BMI and the point prevalence of OWOB in Norwegian adolescents in 2002 and 2017.

Diverse studies have investigated the relationship between diet and depression. In fact some crosssectional studies suggested that a healthy diet reduced the risk for depression. The main objective of this study was to assess the relationship of consumption of different food groups with depression.

Obesity is associated with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and a decreased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, little is known about the risk of EAC and ESCC related to other metabolic risk factors. We aimed to examine the risk of EAC and ESCC in relation[r]
