While preventing childhood obesity is important, the effectiveness of existing prevention strategies is indefinite. Important obesity contributors are speculated to be overlooked while the role of well-studied obesity-related factors has been questioned. Objectives: 1) Although the association between lifestyle and obesity is seemingly well-established, how an overlooked dietary factor, breakfast location, associates with obesity was investigated 2) At a time where inconsistencies in findings for the frequently studied association between TV viewing and obesity still exist, this thesis tested for the existence of the said association in the understudied Chinese population 3) The effect of mental health on childhood obesity is understudied. Using self-esteem as a mental health indicator, the effect of self-esteem on childhood obesity was investigated To understand the role of lifestyle factors in the association between self-esteem and obesity, how 4) breakfast habit and 5) TV viewing habit associates with self-esteem was explored Methods: A cohort of 83405 primary 4 (P4) Department of Health Student Health Service participants (49.7% male, mean age 9.9 years) in 1998-2000 were successfully tracked for 2 years into primary 6 (P6). A self-administered health questionnaire collected information on the breakfast and TV habits of participants alongside other lifestyle characteristics. Self-esteem was assessed using the four Culture Free Self-Esteem Inventories for Children (SEI) subscales. Body mass index (BMI) was derived using objectively measured weight and height. Weight status was classified in accordance to International Obesity Task Force standards. Logistic, multinomial logistic and linear regression were used to yield adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and β-coefficients for becoming overweight/obese in P6 (among P4 normal weight children), breakfast skipping/location, TV viewing habit and SEI subscale scores. Breakfast skipping behaviour was tested as a mediator in the association between self-esteem and obesity using standard mediation procedures. Breakfast and TV viewing habits were tested as effect modifiers in the same association by inclusion of interaction terms in models. Results: Among normal weight P4 children, those who skipped breakfast (AOR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.51) or ate away from home (1.39; 1.20 to 1.60) were more likely to become overweight/obese in P6. Poor self-esteem was also associated with higher AORs for becoming overweight/obese, particularly among girls. While TV viewing in P4 did not predict overweight/obesity in P6, those who increased TV watching hours (Breakfast habit and self-esteem was bi-directionally associated. Although a curvilinear inverted J-shaped relation between P4 TV viewing and P6 self-esteem was observed, self-esteem did not predict TV viewing habit. While neither breakfast nor TV viewing habit significantly interacted with self-esteem to predict obesity, breakfast skipping was found to be a potential partial mediator in the association between self-esteem and obesity. Conclusion: Breakfast location, self-esteem and TV viewing patterns over time are important to consider i

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.

Download or read book A Proposed Psychosocial Consequences Model of Childhood Obesity written by Helen Anne Hayden Wade and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of pediatric obesity is rising, which has implications for long-term physical health. Obese children are at increased risk for social problems, and those obese children with clinically significant social problems are less likely to derive long-term benefit from weight loss (WL) treatment than their more socially well-adjusted overweight peers. In the current study, two new models regarding eating pathology and physical activity (PA) among overweight children were tested. This study investigated factors that mediate the relation between Percent Overweight (POV) and two outcome variables: Eating Pathology and PA Participation . Additional latent constructs examined included Level of Social Adjustment (social withdrawal, social problems, aggression) and Level of Personal Adjustment (self-esteem, teasing, loneliness, social dissatisfaction). A sample of 108 overweight (BMI 20-100%) children [mean age = 9.8(SD = 1.3), 64.8% Caucasian, mean POV = 63.5%(SD = 19.9%)], were recruited to participate in a family-based WL study. Path analyses and cross-sectional SEM were used to examine relations between observed variables. Tests of the eating-pathology model yielded excellent goodness of fit indices (ײ = 31.34, df = 24, p = .15; ײ to df ratio = 1.31; GFI = .94; NNFI = .96; CFI = .97; RMSEA = .05, 90%CI = .00-.10). Level of Personal Adjustment was found to mediate the relation between Level of Social Adjustment and Degree of Eating Pathology. Zero-order correlations revealed that increased POV was significantly related to teasing experiences (r = .23, p

Book excerpt: Over the last thirty years the proportion of children in the United States who are overweight or obese has been increasing, reflecting the dramatic trend that has been witnessed in the adult population. The significance of this trend is enormous when we consider the medical complications of obesity, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, gall bladder disease and the increased risk of certain types of cancer. Unquestionably, the best solution to the obesity problem is prevention, or at least, early intervention. There are many diet schemes that promise quick, effortless results. The only legitimate approach to dealing with childhood obesity, however, is one that stresses improved fitness rather than weight loss. SLIM DOWN is an acronym developed after years of counseling overweight children in a private pediatric office setting. The emphasis is on incorporating healthy habits as part of a child's lifestyle. The goal is not a better weight, but better health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood obesity in the United States has tripled in a generation. But while debates continue over the content of school lunches and the dangers of fast food, we are just beginning to recognize the full extent of the long-term physical, psychological, and social problems that overweight children will endure throughout their lives. Most dramatically, children today have a shorter life expectancy than their parents, something never before seen in the course of human history. They will face more chronic illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes that will further burden our healthcare system. Here, authors Jacob Warren and K. Bryant Smalley examine the full effects of childhood obesity and offer the provocative message that being overweight in youth is not a disease but the result of poor lifestyle choices. Theirs is a clarion call for parents to have "the talk" with their kids, which medical professionals say is a harder topic to address than sex or drugs. Urgent, timely, and authoritative, Always the Fat Kid delivers a message our society can no longer ignore.

Download or read book How Obesity Effects the Social Emotional Development of Head Start Children written by Robin Fairfield and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this descript case study was to demonstrate how social emotional distress affects the eating habits of young obese children. Often times children will engage in "emotional eating". This means that the child eats in order to satisfy an emotional problem such as loneliness, stress, sadness, etc. It is important that educators and parents learn to positively identify a negative self esteem and provide children with alternatives to feel better about themselves. In 1975, Hilde Bruche wrote, "There is no doubt that obesity is an undesirable state of existence for a child." The presence of obesity in childhood may have damaging effects for childhood self-esteem; however, a damaged self-esteem could also have an impact on childhood diets. Although this research study was unable to determine a significant link between childhood obesity and a negative impact on the self-esteem, it did find that there is a need for parental education in the area of nutrition and discipline. The results of this study proved that parents need to be taught the dangers of obesity while their children are infants. Parent education classes can aid the parents in disciplinary techniques to use with children so that their children will grow to understand the importance of healthy eating habits. Parent education classes can also help the parents grow themselves by providing them with ways to model healthy eating habits for their children. Obesity prevention is the number one cure to this epidemic that is taking over America's children.

Download or read book Obese Adolescents written by Christie Mariam Kavossi and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that the association between depression and obesity may be strongest among the most obese individuals. Appearance is a central evaluative dimension for females in Western culture, therefore body dissatisfaction can contribute directly to depression. Adolescents and females are at greater risk for self-esteem problems because body image is an important component of their self-esteem. The present study will add to the existing literature on adolescent obesity by examining the associations between family functioning, self-esteem levels, and depression in a self-selected sample of female adolescents who attended a weight-loss program. More specifically, this study will investigate how high and low levels of self-esteem and family functioning affect depression levels. Reasons for such an investigation are to increase the awareness of the effects and causes of depression levels among obese children and adolescents. A total of 45 obese adolescents with a mean age of 13.32 years participated in the initial evaluations (baseline measures). Fifty-three percent of the participants were Caucasian, 22% were Hispanic, 20% were African American, and 4% were multi-racial. The mean BMI was 34.04 kg, and ranged from 25.80 to 56.17. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine a relationship between body image and depressive symptoms and between self-esteem and depressive symptoms. The analysis produced a significant relationship between self-esteem and depressive symptoms, t(39) = -7.20, p .001 and between body image and depressive symptoms, t(39) = 2.52, p
