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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity is a growing problem among children. This study explored parents perceptions of their child's weight status, as defined by body mass index (BMI). Methods: Parents of children aged 3-5 years old were surveyed regarding their perception of their child's weight status. Information was also gathered including child's exercise frequency, and physician involvement. Parents provided subjects height and weight. Results: Of the 69 subjects in this sample, 53.6 of parents accurately perceived their child's weight status. All 27 overweight or obese children were misclassified by parents as normal or underweight. 14.81 of these parents were a little or concerned with their childs weight status. Conclusion: Parental awareness and concern about obesity and its associated health risks must be raised in order to encourage healthy lifestyles in their children. Further research is necessary to determine the most effective approach to increase parental awareness on childhood obesity.
Download or read book Exploring Parent Weight Status Perceptions and Child Weight Status written by Shambreya Leigh Burrell and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood overweight and/or obesity is a growing issue in our nation. Previous studies indicate that children of overweight or obese parents were at higher risk of engaging in health-averse behaviors than were children of parents of normal weight. The current study explored the magnitude of the association between parent's overweight or obese weight status and their ability to recognize overweight or obese weight status in their children. This study was a secondary data analysis of 1,096 parents living with children ages 3 through 14 who participated in the 2010 North Carolina Child Health Assessment and Monitoring Program (NC CHAMP). Multivariate logistic regression was used to calculated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). In the unadjusted model, overweight/obese parents had decreased odds of accurately assessing child weight status (OR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.77-0.79). After adjusting for parent age, income, sex, education, race/ethnicity, marital status, and child sex, the magnitude of the associations attenuated (OR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.84-0.86).These findings are consistent with previous studies in terms of the direction and magnitude of the association and results were statistically significant. Further research in the area is needed using large, nationally representative United States samples and longitudinal study design. Research findings may have important policy implications and could result in changes to interventions focusing on the value of awareness of weight status in children and health education.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood obesity is a major public health problem associated with many adverse health outcomes in adulthood. During 2011-2012, nearly 17% of children and adolescents were obese. Weight status misperception occurs when the child's perception of their weight status differs from their actual weight status based on measured height and weight. Accurate weight status self-perception has been linked to appropriate weight control behaviors in youth. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data for children and adolescents aged 8-15 years offers an opportunity to examine weight perception status in this age group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All parents experience stress as they attempt to meet the challenges of caring for their children. This comprehensive book examines the causes and consequences of parenting distress, drawing on a wide array of findings in current empirical research. Kirby Deater-Deckard explores normal and pathological parenting stress, the influences of parents on their children as well as children on their parents, and the effects of biological and environmental factors. Beginning with an overview of theories of stress and coping, Deater-Deckard goes on to describe how parenting stress is linked with problems in adult and child health (emotional problems, developmental disorders, illness); parental behaviors (warmth, harsh discipline); and factors outside the family (marital quality, work roles, cultural influences). The book concludes with a useful review of coping strategies and interventions that have been demonstrated to alleviate parenting stress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the relationship between energy balance and obesity is essential to develop effective prevention programs and policies. The International Agency for Research on Cancer convened a Working Group of world-leading experts in December 2015 to review the evidence regarding energy balance and obesity, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries, and to consider the following scientific questions: (i) Are the drivers of the obesity epidemic related only to energy excess and/or do specific foods or nutrients play a major role in this epidemic? (ii) What are the factors that modulate these associations? (iii) Which types of data and/or studies will further improve our understanding? This book provides summaries of the evidence from the literature as well as the Working Group's conclusions and recommendations to tackle the global epidemic of obesity.

Download or read book Parental Factors Related to Health Behaviors Among Children and Adolescents With and Without Developmental Disabilities Engaged in Weight Management Treatment written by Haley Jane Killian and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that 19% of children between the ages of 2-19 years are considered obese in the United States (e.g., body mass index ≥ 95th percentile), and obesity is associated with significant adverse health problems. Previous literature has examined childhood obesity with a focus on typically developing (TD) children; however, children and adolescents with developmental disabilities (DD) develop obesity at a significantly higher rate than the general population. Standard treatment for pediatric obesity is a family-based behavioral approach. The treatment recommendations often provided within the context of intervention necessitate behavior change in the family system, and parents or caregivers often support these changes through providing different foods in the home and supervising physical activities. An understanding of the current functioning of the parent or caregiver may be especially helpful in supporting these children through obesity treatment. The current study sought to understand the relationships between parental factors, including perceived stress and confidence in making-weight related changes, and problematic child eating behaviors and barriers to health behavior change among families currently enrolled in weight management treatment. A secondary aim was to examine whether these relationships differed between parents and caregivers of TD children and adolescents with obesity and those with children and adolescents with DDs and obesity. Parents or caregivers of children and adolescents engaged in obesity treatment were invited to participate, resulting in 53 participants. Results indicated that perceived stress and confidence in making weight-related changes predicted the perceived severity of problematic child eating behaviors in children and adolescents with DDs and obesity. Perceived stress of a parent or caregiver significantly predicted the severity of problematic child eating behaviors in TD children and adolescents with obesity. Secondly, the perceived stress of parents and caregivers of TD children and adolescents significantly predicted the number of perceived barriers to changing health behaviors; however, this pattern was not demonstrated in parents and caregivers of children and adolescents with DDs and obesity. Future directions and implications were discussed.
