This book was released on 2010 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Of children and teenagers aged 6-19, 16% (almost 9 million) were obese (i.e. Body Mass Index at or above the 95th percentile for children of the same age and sex) and this number has continued to increase. Increased understanding of proper nutrition and the need for physical activity among adolescents will likely prevent health problems associated with overweight and obesity, and improve quality of life into adulthood. In particular, when considering determinants of obesity responsive to change, a focus on modifiable, prevalent, and relevant behaviors among adolescents should be taken. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) (behavioral intent, attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavioral control) predicted four behaviors linked to childhood obesity in middle school children: daily physical activity, sedentary behaviors, fruit and vegetable intake, and water versus sweetened beverages consumption. In addition, a valid and reliable instrument which adequately reified the constructs of the TPB in relation to the aforementioned behaviors was developed. Methods: A cross-sectional design was implemented to obtain a convenience sample of 318 middle school students. Prior to the administration of the instrument to the entire student population, factor analysis and reliability estimates were conducted with a sub-group of students. The 129-item instrument was administered during health, physical education, and art classes. Multiple regression and structural equation modeling were used to establish the predictors for each behavior. Results: Almost 25 % of the students were considered overweight or obese. Students did not meet the recommended five servings of fruit and vegetables per day (M = 3.67); participated in more than the 1-2 hours recommended screen time (M = 187.42 minutes); and had an increased risk of obesity with their sweetened beverage consumption (M = 1.59 glasses) per day. The mean behavioral intention scores for the behaviors were as follows: screen time behaviors (M = 12.31, SD = 5.42); physical activity (M = 12.84, SD = 7.18); fruit and vegetable consumption (M = 12.18, SD = 5.74); sweetened beverages versus water consumption (M = 12.42, SD = 6.07) - denoting a moderate intent to participate in the behavior. Regression results showed that behavioral intention was predictive for screen time among overweight and obese students, participation in physical activity among all students, consumption of fruits and vegetables among overweight and obese students, and consumption of water versus sweetened beverages in normal weight students (p

This book was released on 2016 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthy eating behaviors and intentions as well as physical activity behaviors and intentions were examined by assessing individual's attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The purpose of this study was to explore the predictors associated with healthy eating and physical activity behaviors and intentions based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). College students from CCSU were recruited using the program, Sona, and were asked to complete an online questionnaire via SurveyMonkey©. Five measures were adapted and used to assess the healthy eating component: Attitudes, Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC), Subjective Norms, Healthy Eating Intentions, and Healthy Eating Behaviors. Five measures were adapted and used to assess the physical activity component: Attitudes, PBC, Subjective Norms, Physical Activity Intentions, and Past Physical Activity Behaviors. The hypotheses are as follows: (1) Attitudes, PBC, and subjective norms will positively predict healthy eating behaviors; (2) Attitudes, PBC, and subjective norms will positively predict intentions to eat healthy; (3) Attitudes, PBC, and subjective norms will positively predict physical activity behaviors; and (4) Attitudes, PBC, and subjective norms will positively predict intentions to be physically active. Results confirmed that healthy eating attitudes negatively influenced students' healthy eating behaviors; subjective norms significantly negatively impacted students' intentions to eat healthy and be physically active; and perceived behavioral control had a significant negative affect on students' intentions to eat healthy. On the other hand, perceived behavioral control had a significantly positive influence on students' physical activity behaviors. Unhealthy eating behaviors and low physical activity levels are known risk factors of obesity. By examining these concepts further, it may help school programs design interventions that implement strategies to increase healthy eating and physical activity among young adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive previous research has shown that low socioeconomic status in childhood is predictive of adult obesity. Thus, children growing up in situations with fewer economic resources have a higher risk of adult obesity. The Cumulative Stress Model suggest that the confluence various stressors associated with childhood poverty, results in chronic stress, which, in turn, leads to adult obesity as a result of consumption of high fat and high sugar foods that serves as a coping mechanism. The current study investigated the whether chronic stress during childhood was a better predictor of adult obesity than other proposed models. These included the Food Choice Constraints Model, the Neighborhood Affluence Model, and the Feast and Famine Cycle Model, as well as a model based on health disparities at birth. This study used of a novel retrospective survey to examine the influence of various childhood circumstances on adult body mass index (BMI) among a group of college students including as subgroup oversampled for childhood poverty. Results failed to confirm the predicted relationship between childhood poverty and increased adult BMI or other measures typically associated with BMI, including dietary fat intake, fruit and vegetable intake, and physical activity. The best childhood predictors of adult BMI were low birth weight and father's overweight. SNAP participation was positively associated with increased fruit and vegetable intake, which provides tentative support for the Feast and Famine Cycle Model. This model predicts overeating of all types of foods as food becomes more plentiful. Future research is needed to elucidate those specific aspects of childhood poverty that predict adult obesity. Such data may suggest the most effective approaches to avoiding the life-long negative health consequences of child poverty, including obesity.

Book excerpt: This quantitative causal comparative study looked to see if there was a relationship between childhood obesity and student achievement. Because of the many conflicting results in the research available, it was not known if there was a relationship between childhood obesity and student achievement among inner-city middle school students in a school in Trenton, New Jersey. This research looked to see if there was a statistical significance between obese sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students' standardized test scores versus non-obese sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students' standardized test scores. Data were collected in the form of heights and weights of 224 middle school students in Trenton, New Jersey to configure their BMI percentile as well as standardized test scores of those students during the 2011-2012 school year. This study was based on Albert Bandura's social learning cognitive theory. Pearson product moment analyses were conducted to see if there was a relationship between BMI and standardized test scores. T-tests were also conducted to see if there was a statistical significance between obese students and non-obese students in their tests scores. The results indicated that there was no correlation between BMI and standardized test scores. Further results indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between obese students and non-obese students in their test scores with one exception. Statistically, seventh grade obese students scored lower on the math section of the standardized test than non-obese seventh grade students. Future research needs to be completed using middle school students but with a larger population sample size with more students from multiple middle schools.

Book excerpt: This research examines the effect of a nutrition education intervention to change attitudes and other factors associated with eating breakfast and consuming low-fat dairy and whole-grains. Adolescents (n = 106) 11 to 15 years old were recruited from afterschool programs in Los Angeles County, California. Participants in the treatment group (n = 57) met once weekly for 60 minutes during seven weeks. The curriculum focused on changing attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control toward eating breakfast along with including low-fat dairy and whole grains. The first three lessons focused on basic nutrition concepts. The later lessons focused on identifying barriers and overcoming barriers, goal-setting, and identifying methods to stay motivated. Questionnaires were administered at baseline and post-intervention. Data were analyzed using SAS statistical analysis program (v. 9.2). Eighty-eight percent of participants were Hispanic, 55% were girls, and mean age was 12 years. One-hundred six adolescents completed the questionnaire at baseline and 75 completed it at post-intervention. Cronbach alpha statistic for subjective norms and attitudes toward eating breakfast, consuming low-fat dairy and whole-grains were 0.67 and higher for each dependant variable. Intention was significantly predicted by attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; however, as these models do not differentiate change, additional models were run with interactions between group (treatment versus control) and the change variables. Significant changes in perceived behavioral control were observed among participants in the treatment group regarding drinking skim milk, 1% milk, and 2% milk respectively (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children's health has made tremendous strides over the past century. In general, life expectancy has increased by more than thirty years since 1900 and much of this improvement is due to the reduction of infant and early childhood mortality. Given this trajectory toward a healthier childhood, we begin the 21st-century with a shocking developmentâ€"an epidemic of obesity in children and youth. The increased number of obese children throughout the U.S. during the past 25 years has led policymakers to rank it as one of the most critical public health threats of the 21st-century. Preventing Childhood Obesity provides a broad-based examination of the nature, extent, and consequences of obesity in U.S. children and youth, including the social, environmental, medical, and dietary factors responsible for its increased prevalence. The book also offers a prevention-oriented action plan that identifies the most promising array of short-term and longer-term interventions, as well as recommendations for the roles and responsibilities of numerous stakeholders in various sectors of society to reduce its future occurrence. Preventing Childhood Obesity explores the underlying causes of this serious health problem and the actions needed to initiate, support, and sustain the societal and lifestyle changes that can reverse the trend among our children and youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past twenty years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States. An estimated thirty percent of adults in the US are obese; in 1980, only fifteen percent were. The issue is gaining greater attention with the CDC and with the public health world in general. This book will offer practical information about the methodology of epidemiologic studies of obesity, suitable for graduate students and researchers in epidemiology, and public health practitioners with an interest in the issue. The book will be structured in four main sections, with the majority of chapters authored by Dr. Hu, and some authored by specialists in specific areas. The first section will consider issues surrounding the definition of obesity, measurement techniques, and the designs of epidemiologic studies. The second section will address the consequences of obesity, looking at epidemiologic studies that focus on cardio-vascular disease, diabetes, and cancer The third section will look at determinants obesity, reviewing a wide range of risk factors for obesity including diet, physical activity and sedentary behaviors, sleep disorders, psychosocial factors, physical environment, biochemical and genetic predictors, and intrauterine exposures. In the final section, the author will discuss the analytical issues and challenges for epidemiologic studies of obesity.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine which obesity related predictors were more significant in the development of obesity in female adolescents. This study uses data from the 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey to examine Body Mass Index (BMI) outcomes in females (N=7326) based on nutritional and physical activity predictors. A multiple linear regression tested for significant associations between outcome predictors and BMI. Data was further stratified by race and region (Rocky Mountain vs. South) to determine if results differed between groups. Overall, 16.7% of respondents were overweight and 8.7% were obese. Black students had the highest mean BMI of 24.07 (SD=4.57) and Asian students reported the lowest mean BMI of 21.39 (SD=3.64). The national sample revealed age, grade, race and region were all significant predictors of BMI outcome. Servings per day of green salad and fruitll00% fruit juice, along with total hours spent sedentary each day were positively associated to BMI. The number of sport teams that an individual played on in the course of one year was inversely associated to BMI and was the most consistent predictor between every single regression performed. These findings suggest that increasing involvement in sport, especially in minority populations, could lower the prevalence of overweight and obesity in US adolescent females.
