This book was released on 2020 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half of American children are currently overweight or obese, putting them at increased risk for a multitude of obesity-related health problems. Childhood obesity has been linked to physical, emotional, social, and economic consequences, many of which last well into adulthood. Pediatric obesity has also been associated with an increased risk for comorbid medical conditions, poor sleep health, and psychopathology. In children, these risks can be accompanied by lower academic achievement and less favorable social and psychological outcomes. All of these factors have been correlated to decreased self-esteem in children and adolescents diagnosed with the disease. Although there have been many research studies evaluating the self-esteem of children with obesity, this research is limited with regard to pediatric weight management programs based in the community. This dissertation provides a review of the current literature on the impact of pediatric obesity, as well as the current treatment options. It also describes the present study, which examined whether there are changes in the self-esteem of children who participate in a six-month weight management program that targets both the physical and psychological components of the disease. A standardized, multidimensional measure of self-esteem was used to assess how children think about themselves before and after participation in a weight management program. All children who completed the MIGHTY program reported improvements in overall self-concept, particularly with regard to their physical appearance and social functioning. Therefore, this study concluded that pediatric weight management programs in the community can be effective in improving the self-esteem of children diagnosed with obesity. It is hoped that the results of this study will inform future treatment and program development for children diagnosed with pediatric obesity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.

Download or read book Self-esteem Comes in All Sizes written by Carol Johnson and published by Doubleday Books. This book was released on 1995 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carol Johnson once thought of herself as an "un"--unattractive, undisciplined, undesirable, unmotivated, undeserving, uninvited--but no more! Having struggled since childhood with diets, low self-esteem, and the prejudices of others, she has come to believe that being overweight does not make you bad, lazy, or less deserving of happiness. And it has become her mission to make other people understand that their weight is not a measure of their self-worth. "Self-Esteem Comes In All Sizes is written from Ms. Johnson's hard-won and firm conviction that, like flowers, people "come in all colors, shapes, an sizes--but they're beautiful." It is an inspirational guide for all those women (and men) who have been putting their happiness on hold, convinced that if they were only thin, everything else in their lives would be better. Carol Johnson's answer to this self-defeating attitude is that, "You can feel good now, look good now, and be the most you can be--right now!" By separating physiological fact from popular fiction, she helps people to understand that they are not to blame for their size; by focusing on health rather than weight loss, she explains how to set achievable goals. And through the sheer force of her dynamic message and personality, she inculcates the belief that you can get compliments and command respect in an ample body. "From the Trade Paperback edition.

Book excerpt: Discrimination based on body shape and size remains commonplace in today's society. This important volume explores the nature, causes, and consequences of weight bias and presents a range of approaches to combat it. Leading psychologists, health professionals, attorneys, and advocates cover such critical topics as the barriers facing obese adults and children in health care, work, and school settings; how to conceptualize and measure weight-related stigmatization; theories on how stigma develops; the impact on self-esteem and health, quite apart from the physiological effects of obesity; and strategies for reducing prejudice and bringing about systemic change.

This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the Self-Esteem Theory, Gender Theories, the Cognitive Dissonance Theory and the Social Comparison Theory Sabrina Brauneis investigates the relationship between body weight (conceptualized and measured here using the Body Mass Index (BMI)) and skepticism towards advertising. The first study’s findings support a general direct influence of body weight on skepticism towards advertising. The second study finds out that specific products influence the relation of body weight, self-esteem and skepticism towards advertising. The third study discovers seasons as a crucial factor on the relationship. The fourth study shows that overweight models cause higher levels of skepticism towards advertising among normal weight and overweight women.

Download or read book Body Image, Eating, and Weight written by Massimo Cuzzolaro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-03 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book equips readers with the knowledge required to improve diagnosis and treatment and to implement integrated prevention programs in patients with eating and weight disorders. It does so by providing a comprehensive, up-to-date review of research findings and theoretical assumptions concerning the interface and interactions between body image and such disorders as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, other specified feeding and eating disorders, orthorexia nervosa, overweight, and obesity. After consideration of issues of definition and classification, the opening part of the book examines the concept of body image from a variety of viewpoints. A series of chapters are then devoted to the assessment of the multidimensional construct “body image”, to dysmorphophobia/body dysmorphic disorder, and to muscle dysmorphia. The third part discusses body image in people suffering from different eating disorders and/or overweight or obesity, and two final chapters focus on body image in the integrated prevention of eating disorders and obesity, and cultural differences regarding body image. The book will be of interest to all health professionals who work in the fields of psychiatry, clinical psychology, eating disorders, obesity, body image, adolescence, public health, and prevention.
