This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rates of childhood obesity are alarmingly high and increasing each year. Studies have shown that obese children are more likely to become obese adults and are likely to suffer with numerous health consequences like coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and Type II diabetes, among others. Studies also indicate that television viewing and exposure to advertising for food products influences children's attitudes toward, food preferences and food purchase requests for foods with low nutritional value. It is important to better understand the role of media in childhood obesity and to learn how media may be used to address this issue in a positive way. This book focuses on communication and media research that can have an impact on reducing childhood obesity. Emphasis is placed on topics related to how the media communicate health-related messages about food, nutrition and diet that influence childhood obesity. Particular emphasis is on the new media, given the fact that media now have more central roles in socializing today’s children and youth than ever before. Advertising and marketing messages reach young consumers through a variety of vehicles – broadcast and cable television, radio, magazines, computers through the Internet, music, cell phones – and in many different venues – homes, schools, child-care settings, grocery stores, shopping malls, theaters, sporting events, and even airports. In addition, given the disparity in obesity rates between children of color and the general population, special attention is given to research on media targeting these populations.

Download or read book Dietary and Physical Activity Interventions for Obesity Control Among Latino Youth in the US written by Jennifer Olivares and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood obesity epidemic largely affects Hispanics. There is a critical need for culturally relevant interventions to address obesity among Hispanic/Latino children, who tend a greater risk of obesity and other chronic diseases than non-Hispanic white children. This systematic literature review examines dietary and physical fitness factors to help improve and minimize childhood obesity among Hispanic/Latino children. Findings provided strong recommendations within three domains: school-based, family-based, and community-based interventions. Interventions that were selected focused on childhood obesity related topics such as healthy eating habits, weight loss, and physical activity. This review includes articles that were 2011 and newer to strengthen the relevancy of the findings. Future interventions must consider more culturally relevant ideas to support this population.

This book was released on 2007-02-09 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Joint U.S.-Mexico Workshop on Preventing Obesity in Children and Youth of Mexican Origin was initiated by a desire to share experiences regarding the problem of obesity in children and youth of Mexican origin on both sides of the border, with a particular focus on potential solutions. U.S and Mexican researchers, public health officials, industry leaders, and policy-makers engaged in valuable dialogue to share perspectives, challenges, and opportunities. Commonalities and differences in the United States and Mexico regarding risk factors, potential interventions and programs, and need for all sectors to collaborate and make progress toward solving this serious public health problem were also discussed. This dialogue served as a basis to explore a bi-national agenda for addressing this epidemic, which was the ultimate goal of the workshop.

Download or read book Familial and Individual Predictors of Obesity and Insulin Resistance in Hispanic Children written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprisingly rapid rise in the prevalence of childhood obesity has closely preceded an upsurge in the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in youth, with the most dramatic increases occurring among minority groups. Although the prevalence of obesity and T2D is greater in Hispanics, studies of the nutrition and physical environments have been primarily conducted among non-Hispanic whites. Therefore, we used the social-ecological model as a framework to evaluate the individual and familial predictors of Hispanic pediatric obesity and risk for T2D focusing on the influence of the home environment. Anthropometrics and cardiovascular fitness (PACER) were measured and blood samples were collected to assess HOMAIR, a proxy measure of insulin resistance (IR), in 187 Hispanic children (aged 10 to 14 years). A food frequency questionnaire and physical activity (PA) recall were administered to children and parents reported on family socio-demographics and home environment. It was found that 53% of the children were overweight or obese. Children's diet quality as measured by the Healthy Eating Index was low indicating a lack of adherence to dietary guidelines. The home food availability, parental diet and family eating habits were found to be associated with children's diet quality. Nonetheless, children's overall diet quality was not associated with weight status as hypothesized. Results of these investigations guided subsequent analysis of children's diet and PA in relation to metabolic health. Overweight or obese children had lower cardiovascular fitness (CVF) along with higher HOMAIR when compared to healthy weight children. These relationships were influenced by children's diet and PA, which in turn were shaped by the home environment together with parental eating and PA habits. High intakes of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) and low PA had a negative association on children's weight status and CVF, and subsequent risk for T2D. Interventions aimed at decreasing SSB consumption and increasing PA of Hispanic children seems warranted, where families are educated on the benefits of having a healthier home environment. The diet, PA and CVF of Hispanic children could improve and the prevalence of childhood obesity could possibly be reduced while having a positive impact on the risk for T2D.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between eating frequency and adiposity and associated metabolic disease risk. The main hypothesis was that increased eating frequency compared to infrequent eating frequency would be related to reduced adiposity and metabolic disease markers, as well as healthier dietary and physical activity behaviors in Hispanic youth. For this investigation four cross-sectional analyses were performed in Hispanic youth age 8-19 y with a combined sample size of 1185. Three of the studies completed included gold standard measures of dietary intake, body composition, metabolic parameters, physical activity, and specific fat distribution. The forth included a questionnaire filled out by over 700 Hispanic college freshmen age 18-19 y at the University of Texas at Austin. The first two analyses included two separate cohorts of overweight or obese minority youth ages 8-18 y (n=185 and n=191)1,2. Frequent Eaters (4.0 eating occasions (EOs) per day) compared to Infrequent Eaters (2.4 EOs per day) consumed more calories per day (p≤0.01), ate more often (p≤0.01), consumed less calories per EO (p≤0.01), yet exhibited lower visceral adipose tissue (p=0.03), BMI (p≤0.01), waist circumferences (p≤0.01), fasting insulin (p=0.02), HOMA-IR values (p=0.02), and lower triglycerides (p≤0.01), and higher beta cell function (p=0.01) and acute insulin response (p=0.02). To date, these were the first studies investigating eating frequency and adiposity and metabolic disease risk in Hispanic youth. We know minority youth tend to eat less often than Non-Hispanic Whites and that first year college students are particularly susceptible to weight gain and poor overall health. Given this combined with our previous findings and that in Hispanic high school graduates were more likely to be enrolled in college than NHW or blacks, we wanted to further explore this high risk population as they transitioned to college. We conducted a large cross-sectional study with 709 Hispanic college freshmen that completed a questionnaire to identify eating frequency, physical activity levels and reported height and weight. We found eating frequency to be positively related to moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), but not overweight or obesity prevalence. Also, those who ate 4 or more times per day were 2.5 times more likely to spend at least 150 minutes in MVPA per week compared to those who ate 2 or less times per day. We further brought in 100 of the 709 in for extensive in-person testing in which 92 subjects had complete data. We found frequent eaters ate 44% more often (p≤0.01) and consumed 27% less calories per eating occasion (p≤0.01), while consuming 21% more kcals per day (or 445 less kcals per day) (p≤0.01) compared to infrequent eaters. Frequent eaters had 8% lower BMIs (p=0.02), 60% lower BMI z-scores (p=0.03), 21% lower visceral adipose tissue (p=0.03), 26% lower subcutaneous adipose tissue (p=0.03), and 8% higher total body fat (p=0.04) compared to infrequent eaters. These findings suggest that increased eating frequency is related to decreased obesity and metabolic disease risk in Hispanic youth and Hispanic college freshmen, despite increases in energy intake. Additionally, in a very large and exclusively Hispanic college freshmen population eating frequency was related to self-reported increases in physical activity. Thus, increasing eating frequency may be a viable public health message among Hispanic youth and Hispanic college students, yet more research is needed to understand the potential mechanisms and investigate a causal relationship.

Download or read book Family Functioning, Parenting Strategies, and Disordered Eating Among Hispanic Youth written by Dina Ferranti and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disordered eating (DE) is a major public health concern related to both clinical eating disorders and obesity. DE encompasses various subclinical, yet maladaptive eating behaviors that include dieting, binge eating, and/or extreme weight control behaviors (i.e. self-induced vomiting, laxatives). Hispanic youth appear to be especially vulnerable to DE in comparison to other ethnic groups. However, to date there has been little research focused on Hispanic youth and DE, particularly those in middle childhood (8-11 years). The purpose of this study was to test a theoretical model examining family level variables, parenting strategies for eating and physical activity (PEAS) and family functioning, and their relationships with DE among Hispanic youth, and to understand the role of gender in moderating these relationships. A cross-sectional design was used for a secondary analysis of data from the Study of Latino Youth (SOL Youth), a national, population-based study of Hispanic youth from the Bronx, Chicago, Miami, and San Diego. The subsample for the current study was limited to youth participants 8-11 years (n=673) and their parents (n=569). PEAS and family functioning were independent variables, and DE, specifically dieting and binge eating, were dependent variables. Preliminary analyses explored various individual and sociocultural variables as potential covariates. Of those, BMI, years in U.S., and study site were included in theoretical model testing. Model testing was conducted with one-child per family (n=569) using structural equation modeling. Weak support for some hypotheses were demonstrated for youth variables in correlational analyses. However, the study hypotheses were generally not supported, perhaps due to poor fit of the measurement models, particularly for the youth model. Thus, these measurement issues may have prevented an understanding of the theoretical relationship between family level variables and DE. Further research is needed to refine the measures of key study variables (family functioning and PEAS) used in the current study to improve their developmental and cultural fit for Hispanic youth and their parents.Supplemental analyses were conducted to further explore potential study site differences, gender differences, and/or evidence of validity of measures between youth and parent family level variables, BMI, and DE. Of interest, supplemental analyses indicated that those youth engaging in dieting and/or binge eating had a higher BMI than those youth who did not engage in these behaviors. Participants in the study reported high rates of both dieting and binge eating. This suggests that future intervention development surrounding DE among Hispanic youth is necessary for prevention and treatment of DE and its negative health consequences. Specific nursing research and practice implications are presented in the discussion.

Download or read book Relationships Among Physical Activity, Diet, and Obesity Measures During Adolescence written by Janne Holmberg Maier and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's high prevalence of obesity is a concern especially in youth. Physical activity and diet are both important factors associated with weight management, and current recommendations are to consume a diet low in saturated fat and high in fiber, fruit and vegetables and to participate in frequent and regular physical activity. Adherence to recommendations is low, a factor that is strongly correlated with development of obesity and associated chronic diseases such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease. While associations between diet and physical activity are well established, investigation of changes in their association during growth is lacking. This thesis uses five years of diet, physical activity, and anthropometric data from 2379 adolescent girls in the National Heart Lung and Blood Institutes, Growth and Health Study to explore associations among diet, physical activity, and obesity cross-sectionally and with age. Variables representing physical activity, diet quality, and obesity, as well as income, maturation stage, and other potential confounders, were evaluated pair-wise for correlation, and bivariate statistics were examined for longitudinal trends. For further evaluation of relationships between groups of variables we used a canonical correlation analysis. First, physical activity variables were grouped with confounders and examined in relationship to diet quality variables; next, we grouped physical activity, diet quality, and confounders and examined the relationship to obesity measures. We found a moderately increasing correlation between physical activity and diet with age and an age-related decrease in correlation of all health behaviors and confounding variables with obesity measures, indicating that obesity measures become less sensitive to behaviors and socioeconomic factors with age at the same time as health behaviors become more tightly linked. These results suggest that while health behaviors continue to interact during growth, and in fact become more intertwined, measures of obesity become more static and may be less responsive to potential interventions with increasing age. These findings should motivate intervention work to aim for youth as potential impact would be greater before health behaviors and obesity measures become "locked in" to the more static frame of adulthood.

Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, the U.S. federal government issued fully approved physical activity guidelines for the first time. The idea that physical activity impacts health can be traced as far back as Hippocrates, and the science around the linkages between physical activity and health has continuously accumulated. On April 14-15, 2015, the Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Obesity Solutions held a 2-day workshop to explore the state of the science regarding the impact of physical activity in the prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity and to highlight innovative strategies for promoting physical activity across different segments of the population. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from this workshop.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Download or read book Fat Talk written by Mimi Nichter and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teen-aged girls hate their bodies and diet obsessively, or so we hear. News stories and reports of survey research often claim that as many as three girls in five are on a diet at any given time, and they grimly suggest that many are “at risk” for eating disorders. But how much can we believe these frightening stories? What do teenagers mean when they say they are dieting? Anthropologist Mimi Nichter spent three years interviewing middle school and high school girls—lower-middle to middle class, white, black, and Latina—about their feelings concerning appearance, their eating habits, and dieting. In Fat Talk, she tells us what the girls told her, and explores the influence of peers, family, and the media on girls’ sense of self. Letting girls speak for themselves, she gives us the human side of survey statistics. Most of the white girls in her study disliked something about their bodies and knew all too well that they did not look like the envied, hated “perfect girl.” But they did not diet so much as talk about dieting. Nichter wryly argues—in fact some of the girls as much as tell her—that “fat talk” is a kind of social ritual among friends, a way of being, or creating solidarity. It allows the girls to show that they are concerned about their weight, but it lessens the urgency to do anything about it, other than diet from breakfast to lunch. Nichter concludes that if anything, girls are watching their weight and what they eat, as well as trying to get some exercise and eat “healthfully” in a way that sounds much less disturbing than stories about the epidemic of eating disorders among American girls. Black girls, Nichter learned, escape the weight obsession and the “fat talk” that is so pervasive among white girls. The African-American girls she talked with were much more satisfied with their bodies than were the white girls. For them, beauty was a matter of projecting attitude (“’tude”) and moving with confidence and style. Fat Talk takes the reader into the lives of girls as daughters, providing insights into how parents talk to their teenagers about their changing bodies. The black girls admired their mothers’ strength; the white girls described their mothers’ own “fat talk,” their fathers’ uncomfortable teasing, and the way they and their mothers sometimes dieted together to escape the family “curse”—flabby thighs, ample hips. Moving beyond negative stereotypes of mother–daughter relationships, Nichter sensitively examines the issues and struggles that mothers face in bringing up their daughters, particularly in relation to body image, and considers how they can help their daughters move beyond rigid and stereotyped images of ideal beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infant formulas are unique because they are the only source of nutrition for many infants during the first 4 to 6 months of life. They are critical to infant health since they must safely support growth and development during a period when the consequences on inadequate nutrition are most severe. Existing guidelines and regulations for evaluating the safety of conventional food ingredients (e.g., vitamins and minerals) added to infant formulas have worked well in the past; however they are not sufficient to address the diversity of potential new ingredients proposed by manufacturers to develop formulas that mimic the perceived and potential benefits of human milk. This book, prepared at the request of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada, addresses the regulatory and research issues that are critical in assessing the safety of the addition of new ingredients to infants.
