Book excerpt: Epidemic increases in obesity in the United States have focused research attention on prevention and treatment issues. Rates of obesity have steadily increase over the past 20 years. Adult and child obesity rates have both increased. The percentage of children at risk for overweight (at or above the 85th percentile body mass index for age) increased significantly from 28.2% to 33.6% between 1999 and 2004. One out of every three children in the United States is overweight or obese. Much effort is now focused on prevention of obesity. However, varied results have been demonstrated. Data analyzed as part of this dissertation were collected during a pediatric obesity treatment trial ("Childhood Obesity Treatment: A Maintenance Approach") funded by a five-year grant from the National Institute for Child and Human Health Development. Over a three year period (three fall cohorts), overweight children (aged 7-12 years), along with one obese parent were invited and agreed to participate in the 20-week weight loss phase of the Family Weight Control and Prevention Program in San Diego, California. This study sought to examine predictors of short term weight loss or stabilization among overweight children enrolled in this family-based behavioral intervention. Offered is an examination of areas to be considered when designing a weight loss intervention program and evaluating what components to maintain as part of an overall program while attempting to reduce participant burden. First evaluated was whether demographic variables affected outcome in an intervention targeting overweight children. Race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status were not found to have a differential effect on the amount of weight lost or self-efficacy. This suggests that intervention strategies don't always need to be tailored to race/ethnicity or socioeconomic status. Next evaluated was dietary self-monitoring. As found previously among adults and adolescents, preadolescent children who completed journals on a more consistent basis, lost more weight comparatively. Additionally, any self monitoring was beneficial for weight loss when compared to those who did not journal. Finally, we demonstrated that physical activity self-efficacy is an important variable to consider in the planning of exercise programs that are components of weight loss interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article reports on the development and psychometric properties of a short-form version of the 50-item Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire III (PSQ-III). The short-form instrument, the PSQ-18, contains 18 items tapping each of the seven dimensions of satisfaction with medical care measured by the PSQ-III: general satisfaction, technical quality, interpersonal manner, communication, financial aspects, time spent with doctor, and accessibility and convenience. PSQ-18 subscale scores are substantially correlated with their full-scale counterparts and possess generally adequate internal consistency reliability. Moreover, both the magnitude of the correlation coefficients and the overall pattern of correlations among PSQ-18 subscales are highly similar to those observed for the PSQ-III. These preliminary analyses support the use of the PSQ-18 in situations where the need for brevity precludes administration of the full-length PSQ-III.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has tripled in the United States in the last 30 years, resulting in 31.8% of youth (ages 2-19 years of age) classified as overweight or obese.1,2 To date many high-intensity and medium-intensity programs have been developed and tested in efforts to ameliorate the high prevalence of childhood obesity, however there is a gap in the testing and implementation of low-intensity family-based treatments.3-7 The Traffic Light Program is the only childhood obesity program that has published long-term outcomes and was developed by Epstein et. al., however it only includes children from ages 6-12. We developed an 8-week family based childhood obesity program (Healthy Hawkeye Program) to test the feasibility and efficacy of an adapted version (light intensity) of the Traffic Light Program in families of overweight and obese children. To our knowledge, this is the first study to test the efficacy of a low-intensity (21 hours) comprehensive family-based intervention specifically tailored for overweight and obese children from 6 to 17 years of age. Measures include body composition (weight, fat mass, lean body mass, body fat %, BMI, waist circumference), sedentary, light and moderate levels of physical activity (wrist-worn Generative Accelerometer), dietary quality (caloric intake, fruit/vegetable daily servings), measures of nutritional and physical activity self-efficacy, Lifestyle Behavior Checklist (LBC), Family Nutrition and Physical activity (FNPA) survey, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Healthy Hawkeye Program Evaluation Survey. We hypothesize that participants will improve in selected (1) health measures (weight, caloric intake, daily fruit intake, daily vegetable intake, sedentary, light, and moderate physical activity levels), (2) improve in selected theoretical constructs (self-efficacy, behaviors, environments), and (3) will find the Healthy Hawkeye Program acceptable and helpful. A total of five families were recruited and only 3 families (3 mothers, 2 male children, and 1 female child) completed the program (attended 6 of 8 weekly meetings). The very low sample size of only 3 families limited the statistical analysis. The results showed parents reduced their absolute weight by 5.6 lbs and children slightly increased by 0.1 lbs. Both parents and children decreased their daily sedentary time tary time as well as increased their daily moderate activity. Various measures of self-efficacy, behaviors, nutrition improved among parents and children. Parents and children found the program to be acceptable and helpful.

This book was released on 1995-03-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly one out of every three adults in America is obese and tens of millions of people in the United States are dieting at any one time. This has resulted in a weight-loss industry worth billions of dollars a year and growing. What are the long-term results of weight-loss programs? How can people sort through the many programs available and select one that is right for them? Weighing the Options strives to answer these questions. Despite widespread public concern about weight, few studies have examined the long-term results of weight-loss programs. One reason that evaluating obesity management is difficult is that no other treatment depends so much on an individual's own initiative and state of mind. Now, a distinguished group of experts assembled by the Institute of Medicine addresses this compelling issue. Weighing the Options presents criteria for evaluating treatment programs for obesity and explores what these criteria mean--to health care providers, program designers, researchers, and even overweight people seeking help. In presenting its criteria the authors offer a wealth of information about weight loss: how obesity is on the rise, what types of weight-loss programs are available, how to define obesity, how well we maintain weight loss, and what approaches and practices appear to be most successful. Information about weight-loss programs--their clients, staff qualifications, services, and success rates--necessary to make wise program choices is discussed in detail. The book examines how client demographics and characteristics--including health status, knowledge of weight-loss issues, and attitude toward weight and body image--affect which programs clients choose, how successful they are likely to be with their choices, and what this means for outcome measurement. Short- and long-term safety consequences of weight loss are discussed as well as clinical assessment of individual patients. The authors document the health risks of being overweight, summarizing data indicating that even a small weight loss reduces the risk of disease and depression and increases self-esteem. At the same time, weight loss has been associated with some poor outcomes, and the book discusses the implications for program evaluation. Prevention can be even more important than treatment. In Weighing the Options, programs for population groups, efforts targeted to specific groups at high risk for obesity, and prevention of further weight gain in obese individuals get special attention. This book provides detailed guidance on how the weight-loss industry can improve its programs to help people be more successful at long-term weight loss. And it provides consumers with tips on selecting a program that will improve their chances of permanently losing excess weight.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The home environment, parental health attitudes, and parental diet and exercise behaviors have been associated with childhood obesity. The current study utilized a family systems framework to examine the effect of these variables on weight and health changes in a primarily Black sample of 530 parent-adolescent dyads enrolled in a multidisciplinary weight loss intervention. Parent-reported psychosocial variables and demographic information were used to test models predicting changes in adolescents' body mass index, cholesterol, and percentage body fat over the first six months of the intervention. The effect of parent participation in a psycho-education parent group on adolescent health outcomes was also examined. Several significant demographic, parental, and home environment predictors emerged in the models. By identifying specific aspects of the home environment, parent attitudes, and parent behavior to modify in interventions, these findings have significant implications for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People with normal eating patterns eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. But people struggling with binge eating relate very differently to this most basic need, often risking depression, gastrointestinal problems, and even death because of their problems with food. The Appetite Awareness Workbook offers an eight-week, cognitively based program to help you learn to pay attention to hunger cues, keep track of your feelings about food, and develop an eating schedule that discourages binge eating. In a series of easy exercises, the book guides you toward taking control of eating habits. First, gradual changes help you eat only when hungry or when a mealtime is scheduled. Then, awareness exercises help you stop eating when moderately full. Finally, by using cognitive techniques to control the tendency to eat for emotional reasons and journaling exercises to stay motivated and on track, you'll learn how to retrain yourself to maintain normal and healthy eating habits for life.

Download or read book Effect of a Family-based Weight Management Intervention on the Association Between Weight Loss and Children’s Quality of Life written by Mark Abbey-Lambertz and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood obesity is associated with numerous morbidities, and effective interventions are needed to provide children and their parents the tools and skills they need to make healthier lifestyle choices. Children with obesity are more likely to have poorer health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and poorer weight-specific quality of life (WSQOL) compared to their peers. The impact of weight management interventions on children’s HRQOL and WSQOL is not fully understood. Whether and how weight loss changes parents’ and children’s perceptions of the children’s quality of life can provide insight into interventions’ effectiveness and highlight opportunities for adapting interventions.Objective: To determine the association between pediatric participants’ weight loss and change in their quality of life, specifically HRQOL and WSQOL, among participants enrolled in family-based behavioral weight management interventions. This study used a one-arm quasi-experimental design and combined data from two previous pediatric weight management intervention studies. Parents with overweight/obesity and their children ages 7 to 11 with overweight/obesity participated in a 20-week, family-based weight management intervention focused on increasing healthier lifestyle eating and activity behaviors. Child height, child weight, and child self-reported and parent proxy-reported HRQOL and WSQOL were collected. Child self-reported and parent proxy-reported HRQOL and WSQOL scores were compared. Multiple regression was used to assess the association between change in child BMI z-score and change in child HRQOL and WSQOL. Parent proxy-reported WSQOL was significantly lower than child self-reported WSQOL at all timepoints, but quality of life significantly increased with treatment. Change in child BMI z-score was significantly negatively associated with change in child self-reported total WSQOL (improvements in child weight status associated with improvements in weight-related quality of life) but not child self-reported total HRQOL. Change in child BMI z-score was also significantly negatively associated with parent proxy-reported HRQOL and WSQOL. The change in children’s self-reported quality of life does not track with changes in their weight status as much as changes in parents’ perceptions of child quality of life improvements. Parent perceptions of child HRQOL and WSQOL indicate significant improvement with intervention that is more linked to child weight status changes. Pediatric weight management interventions may need modification to show children how their weight loss is related to their improving quality of life.

Download or read book Parent Predictors of Self-Monitoring and Attendance in Family-Based Pediatric Obesity Treatment written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatric overweight and obesity status currently affects approximately 30% of children in the United States. Pediatric overweight and obese status is associated with significant physical health difficulties and psychological problems. The gold standard treatment, family-based treatment for pediatric obesity (FBT) has long-term success rates of only 30%. It is important to identify key variables to success in FBT. Research suggests that two main factors are associated with success in FBT: treatment attendance and dietary self-monitoring. The role of parents is integral to success in FBT. Thus this study assessed parent factors that are associated with FBT attendance and self-monitoring. One hundred and fifty parent-child dyads participated in a randomized controlled trial of FBT. Outcome variables included weekly attendance rates and weekly rates of self-monitoring for parents and children. Independent variables included parent depression, socioeconomic status, family ethno-racial minority status, consideration of future consequences, parent baseline motivation, and weekly parent motivation. Final models only included independent variables significantly correlated with outcome variables, in addition to a set of planned covariates (baseline body mass index, child depressive symptoms, child age). The analysis of attendance was time lagged such that motivation from the previous session predicted attendance at the subsequent session. Based on initial correlational analysis, a generalized linear mixed model approach assessed the time-varying relationship between parent weekly motivation, socioeconomic status, and family ethno-racial minority status with weekly attendance, weekly rates of parent self-monitoring, and weekly rates of child self-monitoring, respectively. Results indicated that higher parent weekly motivation was related to higher same week rates of child and parent self-monitoring. Family ethno-racial minority status was related to lower child self-monitoring over time. Higher socioeconomic status, lower child depressive symptoms, and higher parent motivation ratings were related to lower rates of attendance. Parent depression, baseline parent motivation, and consideration of future consequences were not related to any outcome variables. Enhancing treatment engagement for families with low parental motivation during treatment and families from ethno-racial minority backgrounds could be important in improving self-monitoring in FBT. Future studies evaluating factors related to attendance in FBT may be needed to fully understand attendance findings from this study. Further study of variables that showed no relationship with attendance and self-monitoring may be warranted in future studies.
