Download or read book Association Between Short Sleep Duration and Obesity in a Pediatric Population written by David D. Feist and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem: Obesity is a dangerous and costly disease affecting greater numbers of adults and children every year. While the prevalence of obesity has dramatically increased over the past few decades, the average sleep duration of adults and children has noticeably decreased. The purpose of this literature review is to identify and discuss any association between short sleep duration and obesity. Methods: A PubMed search using the Weill Cornell Medical College Library website was conducted for articles regarding the relationship between sleep duration and weight gain or obesity. Only English journal articles available in full-text online versions and written in the last 5 years were selected for this literature review. Results: Many of the studies analyzed for this review found a significant association between obesity and shorter sleep duration. However, not all studies used the same tool for sleep duration measurement. All of the studies utilizing actigraphy to monitor sleep duration found a correlation between shorter sleep duration and increased BMI. Conclusion: Future studies where sleep duration is frequently and objectively measured would provide more consistent results and assist researchers in formulating appropriate sleep duration guidelines for adult and pediatric populations.

Abstract: Objective: Obesity has become one of the major global public epidemic problems while the knowledge of childhood obesity is a bit limited within Chinese study. This review examined the association between sleep duration and childhood overweight and obesity in China. Methods: This systematic review was conducted by searching online electronic resources of papers from PubMed and Chinese database CNKI published up to 2013. The keywords of "sleep" OR "risk factors" AND "obesity OR overweight" AND "child OR adolescent" AND "China OR Hong Kong OR Taiwan" were used for searching and identifying. The search filter to restrict the study design as the observational study written in English or Chinese in these databases was used. Results: Four case-control studies, and eight cross-sectional studies were included in the systematic review. Despite of different method in assessing sleep duration, all included studies suggested that sleep duration is consistently and negatively related with childhood obesity, mainly assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI) in China. Conclusion: Most included articles reported the association between short sleep duration and childhood obesity/overweight. However, given the cross-section nature of the data, the causal relation between sleep duration and obesity remains unclear. Whether sleep duration may be the factor to be considered in childhood obesity prevention strategies remains to be confirmed possibly by studies with longitudinal design or randomized control trials.

Download or read book Exploring the Short Sleep Obesity Association in Young Children written by Caroline Helen Dorothy Jones and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is strong and consistent epidemiological evidence that short sleep duration is associated with increased risk of obesity from early childhood. Childhood obesity and inadequate sleep have negative consequences for health and well-being, and the ability to target both of these public health concerns with a novel obesity intervention involving sleep extension is appealing; yet little is known about the mechanisms linking short sleep with obesity. In adults, hormonal mechanisms have been proposed; in young children, behavioural mechanisms and parenting are likely to be involved. Furthermore, the wider social and cultural determinants of short sleep and obesity should be incorporated into sleep-obesity research. This study aimed to explore some aspects of the sleep-obesity link in preschool children, using an exploratory design with a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods, and applying an evolutionary medicine perspective. Participants were 109 3-year-old children and their parents in Stockton-on-Tees. Children?s sleep (validated by actigraphy), food intake and activity over 4 days/5 nights were assessed by parental diary report, and body composition was measured. Parents? attitudes were explored using semi-structured interviews. Combined daytime and nighttime sleep duration was associated with central fat. Alternate parenting strategies were identified, based on regulation and consistency (routine-led), or child-governance and lack of regulation (routine-free). Building on the trends identified and the literature reviewed, I propose two hypotheses to explain the short sleep-obesity link in young children: the Behavioural Mechanisms Hypothesis (dietary and activity behaviours mediate or confound the association), and the Parental Confounding Hypothesis (parenting strategies, which vary with SES, impact on both children?s sleep duration and obesity risk). Parenting impacts children?s health by either limiting or facilitating discordance between children?s experiences in evolutionarily novel environments, and their biological make-up. I conclude that sleep-based obesity interventions should consider the wider context of children?s behaviours, particularly strategies of parenting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical practice related to sleep problems and sleep disorders has been expanding rapidly in the last few years, but scientific research is not keeping pace. Sleep apnea, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome are three examples of very common disorders for which we have little biological information. This new book cuts across a variety of medical disciplines such as neurology, pulmonology, pediatrics, internal medicine, psychiatry, psychology, otolaryngology, and nursing, as well as other medical practices with an interest in the management of sleep pathology. This area of research is not limited to very young and old patientsâ€"sleep disorders reach across all ages and ethnicities. Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation presents a structured analysis that explores the following: Improving awareness among the general public and health care professionals. Increasing investment in interdisciplinary somnology and sleep medicine research training and mentoring activities. Validating and developing new and existing technologies for diagnosis and treatment. This book will be of interest to those looking to learn more about the enormous public health burden of sleep disorders and sleep deprivation and the strikingly limited capacity of the health care enterprise to identify and treat the majority of individuals suffering from sleep problems.

Download or read book Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood obesity is a serious health problem that has adverse and long-lasting consequences for individuals, families, and communities. The magnitude of the problem has increased dramatically during the last three decades and, despite some indications of a plateau in this growth, the numbers remain stubbornly high. Efforts to prevent childhood obesity to date have focused largely on school-aged children, with relatively little attention to children under age 5. However, there is a growing awareness that efforts to prevent childhood obesity must begin before children ever enter the school system. Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies reviews factors related to overweight and obese children from birth to age 5, with a focus on nutrition, physical activity, and sedentary behavior, and recommends policies that can alter children's environments to promote the maintenance of healthy weight. Because the first years of life are important to health and well-being throughout the life span, preventing obesity in infants and young children can contribute to reversing the epidemic of obesity in children and adults. The book recommends that health care providers make parents aware of their child's excess weight early. It also suggests that parents and child care providers keep children active throughout the day, provide them with healthy diets, limit screen time, and ensure children get adequate sleep. In addition to providing comprehensive solutions to tackle the problem of obesity in infants and young children, Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies identifies potential actions that could be taken to implement those recommendations. The recommendations can inform the decisions of state and local child care regulators, child care providers, health care providers, directors of federal and local child care and nutrition programs, and government officials at all levels.
Download or read book Sleep Duration and Obesity written by Herpreet Kaur Thind and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevalence of obesity continues to be high in the United States with about one-third adults being overweight or obese. Among adolescents the rates of overweight/obesity have increased by three times in the past two decades. Moreover, the rates of obesity are disproportionately high among the minority population. Recently, sleep duration has emerged as an independent risk factor for obesity. Several cross-sectional and longitudinal studies worldwide have shown an inverse relationship between sleep duration and obesity. However, some studies do not support this association. Majority of the studies in the United States have been conducted on predominantly White populations. African Americans are known to have short sleep; however, it is not known if the relationship between sleep and obesity differs by race/ethnicity. The current research explored the gender and racial/ethnic differences in the relationship between sleep duration and obesity among early adolescents. Data were from wave 1 and wave 2 of Healthy Passages study, a longitudinal cohort of 5th graders with a racially ethnic diverse sample. The sample population for analysis was 3,583. Survey logistic was used to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationship between sleep duration and overweight/obesity after controlling for covariates. In cross-sectional analysis, less than 9 hours of average sleep significantly increased the odds of overweight/obesity for White females (OR = 6.484, 95% CI = 1.859-22.611) and Hispanic males (OR = 2.941, 95% CI=1.728-5.008) compared to more than 10 hours of sleep. In longitudinal analysis, the relationship between sleep duration and overweight/obesity was significant only for African American females (OR = 4.115, 95% CI = 2.003-8.454). No significant associations were found between baseline sleep duration and wave 2 obesity for males. The reason for gender and racial/ethnic differences in the study findings is unclear; however, several possibilities have been discussed. The current research and numerous past studies indicate an inverse association between sleep duration and obesity. Future research is needed to examine this relationship in racially diverse samples. Also, studies are required to determine if sleep extension can help to reduce adiposity. A causal association between sleep duration and obesity if proved can have important public health implications.

Book excerpt: In the 2001 Surgeon General's Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity, former Surgeon General David Satcher, MD, PhD, warned of the negative effects of the increasing weight of American citizens and outlined a public health response to reverse the trend. The Surgeon General plans to strengthen and expand this blueprint for action created by her predecessor. Although the country has made some strides since 2001, the prevalence of obesity, obesity-related diseases, and premature death remains too high.
Download or read book Sleep Loss and Obesity written by Priyattam Shiromani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep Loss and Obesity: Intersecting Epidemics represents a major contribution to the field of sleep medicine. It is a comprehensive review of the neurobiology of sleep, circadian timing and obesity, the deleterious effects of sleep loss and obesity on health, and the worrisome associated social and medical costs in a range of patient populations and overall to society. The number of individuals who are obese has reached alarming levels. As a result, the incidence of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, heart disease, and kidney failure have also increased. The surgeon general estimates that the total annual cost of obesity in the US is about $117 billion. This cost is expected to escalate significantly because the number of overweight and obese children is increasing rapidly. Indeed, the new generation is expected to have a shorter life-span then their parents. In addition, sleep loss is emerging as an important contributing factor to obesity. People who sleep less or are sleep deprived tend to eat more, especially carbohydrates, and have a higher body mass index. Increased weight restricts the upper airway, causing obstructive sleep apnea and further sleep loss. In the end there is a vicious cycle of weight gain and sleep loss. In the past few years there has been a tremendous growth in our understanding of brain mechanisms controlling energy metabolism. Interestingly the neurons regulating waking also regulate feeding. There is also a mechanism that regulates the timing of feeding and sleep. In shift-workers this system is likely to be disturbed, and this has an adverse impact on both feeding and sleep. Sleep Loss and Obesity: Intersecting Epidemics is the first title to clearly examine how obesity and sleep loss are interacting epidemics. This fascinating title makes the link between energy metabolism, sleep and circadian timing; identifies poor sleep as a risk-factor for obesity in children and adults and offers treatment strategies for obstructive sleep apnea and obesity. This book will be a vital source of information for all physicians interested in sleep disorders and obesity. It will also be of value to neuroscientists, health system administrators, and policy makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects related to pediatric sleep and its associated disorders. It addresses the ontogeny and maturational aspects of physiological sleep and circadian rhythms, as well as the effects of sleep on the various organ systems as a function of development. Organized into nine sections, the book begins with a basic introduction to sleep, and proceeds into an extensive coverage of normative sleep and functional homeostasis. Part three then concisely examines the humoral and developmental aspects of sleep, namely the emerging role of metabolic tissue and the intestinal microbiota in regulation. Parts four, five, and six discuss diagnoses methods, techniques in sleep measurement, and specific aspects of pharmacotherapy and ventilator support for the pediatric patient. Various sleep disorders are explored in part seven, followed by an in-depth analysis of obstructive sleep apnea in part eight. The book concludes with discussions on the presence of sleep issues in other disorders such as Down syndrome, obesity, cystic fibrosis, and asthma. Written by recognized leaders in the field, Pediatric Sleep Medicine facilitates an extensive learning experience for practicing physicians who encounter specific sleep-related issues in their practice.
Download or read book Associations Between Sleep Duration and Indicators of Cardio metabolic Disease in Canadian Children and Adolescents written by Larine Sluggett and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes in Canadian children and adolescents have increased rapidly in recent years, so research exploring modifiable risk factors is critical. Partial sleep loss has been linked with deteriorations in indicators of cardio-metabolic health. The objectives of this study were 1) to examine associations among short sleep duration and indicators of cardio-metabolic disease in Canadian children and adolescents, and 2) to identify determinants of short sleep duration. Using the 2007-2009 Canadian Health Measure Survey dataset as a data source, logistics regression models were developed to examine associations among sleep duration and indicators of cardio-metabolic disease and to identify predictors of short sleep duration. Short sleep duration was linked with greater odds of overweight/obesity in boys and adolescents only. Age was a strong predictor of inadequate sleep duration. Interventions designed to address sleep loss should focus on adolescents."--Leaf ii.

Download or read book Examining the Association Between Sleep Duration Diet and Body Mass Index in Quebec Children written by Fabiola E. Tatone-Tokuda and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of obesity in young children is increasing. Sleep duration is suggested to affect the regulation of body weight through changes in metabolic hormones that regulate appetite, food selection, and energy expenditure. Using data obtained from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development, this study prospectively examined: 1) the association between longitudinal sleep duration pattern (LSDP) (age 2.5 to 6 years) and overweight/obesity at age 6 and 7 years; and, 2) whether such an association may be mediated by dietary intake and/or eating behaviour at the population level. Associations were examined using multivariate logistic regression methods, with adjustments for potential confounders. Boys with a 'short persistent or short increasing ' LSDP had significantly greater odds of being overweight/obese at age 6 and 7 years, in comparison to boys with an '11-hour persistent ' LSDP. This association was partially mediated by problematic eating behaviours. LSDP did not associate with overweight/obesity in girls.
