This book was released on 2017 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the U.S., African American children suffer from higher rates of obesity than their white peers. African American families are often multi-generational, with extended family members, especially women, caring for child relatives. Yet little is currently known about the influence of these female extended family members (EFMs) on African American children's dietary and physical activity behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between the amount of time an African American child spent with an EFM, the frequency of child physical activity and eating around the EFM, and family members' weight status. Data were collected and analyzed as part of a larger study examining relationships in African American families (n=47). Participating families consisted of the mother, her child aged 8-12 years, and an EFM. Participants were recruited from community organizations in Guilford County, North Carolina. Family Systems Theory guided the research in accordance with current literature which suggests that family-based lifestyle interventions achieve better outcomes than education or information only interventions. Eighty-eight percent of non-pregnant mothers (n=44) and 87% of non-pregnant EFMs (n=45) were classified as overweight or obese as defined by Body Mass Index (BMI) compared to 47% of the children in the study as defined by Body Mass Index For Age (BMI-For-Age). EFMs comprised 10 grandmothers, two great grandmothers, one great aunt, 19 aunts, and 15 cousins. No significant association was found between time spent with EFMs and frequency of child eating and physical activity behaviors. Children were less active around grandmothers and great grandmothers compared to aunts and cousins (p

Book excerpt: Confronting two of this country’s fastest growing health problems—body image and weight concerns among children and teens—this practical guide shows parents how to help their children maintain body esteem and make healthy choices a routine part of their lives. At a time when they should feel secure in their body’s growth, too many American children become anxious about size and weight and begin to eat in ways that contribute to the very problems they hope to avoid. Obesity, negative body image, and eating disorders are extremely difficult to reverse once established, and can be devastating to the self-esteem of developing bodies and egos. Long overdue, Real Kids Come in All Sizes challenges the toxic myths that promote body-image and weight concerns in our culture. Building a foundation for lifelong health, parents can use these lessons to help their children: —Eat well and be active —Accept size diversity in themselves and others —Value health and well-being over image —Be comfortable in their developing bodies —Resist damaging cultural messages —Develop a strong identity and choose realistic role models

This book was released on 2005 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children may be less accepting of significantly overweight peers as compared to average weight peers. More information is needed about children's attitudes toward overweight peers. This study examined children's acceptance of models presented as slightly overweight or average weight. This study also examined whether perceiver characteristics, including gender and age, were related to children's acceptance ratings and whether gender moderated the association between age and acceptance ratings. Exploratory analyses examined children's perceptions of negative traits (e.g., being bad) for the overweight and average weight models. Six hundred and twelve children, (aged 3- to 13-years) participated, and were randomly assigned to view a videotape of a same sex model dressed to appear overweight or at an average weight. Then, children completed the Child Interview, which consisted of questions assessing children's acceptance of and perceptions of negative traits for the models. Elementary school-age children participated in small groups and preschool-age children participated in individual interviews. Children rated the believability of the overweight models' costumes. Results indicated that children did not report lower acceptance ratings for the overweight models. Older children provided lower acceptance ratings for the models, irrespective of weight status, than younger children. Gender did not moderate the relationship between age and children's acceptance ratings. Boys reported lower acceptance ratings for the models than girls; but, they provided higher acceptance ratings for the overweight model than for the average weight model. Results of exploratory analyses suggested that adolescents and preschool-age children provided higher negative ratings irrespective of weight status than children in elementary school. Weight status did not predict children's perceptions of negative traits. Boys, compared to girls, reported that the models would fight more often. Overall, results indicated that children in this study did not report poor acceptance of overweight children. This is encouraging because significantly overweight children may be teased because of their weight status and experience emotional distress. Thus, interventions may only be needed for children who are significantly overweight or obese rather than slightly overweight. In the future, researchers should continue to examine children's perceptions of peers who are slightly and moderately overweight, obese, and average weight.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body image is among many psychological variables that are related to physical activity and dietary practices. Body image begins to develop in childhood and takes on increased importance during adolescence. Interventions aimed to improve physical activity and nutrition in pre-adolescents may have effects upon body image during this key developmental period. The purpose of the current study was to examine the secondary effects of a larger trial of physical activity and nutrition on body image in pre-adolescents. Based on Social Cognitive Theory, several personal, behavioral, and environmental factors are hypothesized to affect body image and were examined in this study. It was hypothesized that the intervention would have a significant positive impact on body image. Eighty-four 10-12 year olds (52 females, 32 males) of diverse ethnic backgrounds were recruited for study as part of the Healthy Youth and Parent Program, an on-going trial for physical activity and nutrition. A two-group (intervention and control) pre-post design was used. The intervention consisted of 8 weekly 2-hour sessions during which children participated in fitness activities. Body image was measured by the Eating Disorders Inventory-2, a well-validated measure. Analysis of co-variance revealed no significant direct effect of the intervention on body image, although participants in both conditions showed non-significant improvements in body image from baseline to post-test. Multiple regression analyses were used to examine theoretically hypothesized mediators of body image change, including level of physical activity and fitness, body mass index, and mood. Puberty status, negative self-esteem, and perceived barriers to physical activity were significantly related to body image concerns. The lack of a significant intervention effect on hypothesized mediators precluded the possibility of determining whether changes in these mediators would have affected change in body image. Future studies will need to test the role of hypothesized mediators if a comprehensive theoretical model of body image is to be developed.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Childhood obesity and mental health continue to be a growing concern. Today, children are exposed to technology and other gadgets increasing their opportunities to be sedentary thus, children’s lack of physical activity, could increase negative self-esteem reports. Because of this, engaging in an active lifestyle may help improve self-esteem in adolescents. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess how body composition and physical activity relates to self-esteem within adolescents. Methods: The study was completed following 15 weeks. A total sample of 44 (28 boys, 16 girls) subjects gave assent and parental consent to be included in the study. Students participated in various weightlifting classes in which they completed three mesocycles of resistance training during the semester. To test pre and post variables, Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzers (BIA) were used to assess body composition (BC). Self-esteem (SE) was measured by the Rosenburg Self-esteem Scale. A Digital Hand Dynamometer was be used to assess the effect of resistance training on student’s handgrip strength (HGS). Results: Due to unequal sample-sizes between genders, the primary statistics of this study were assessed as an independent t-test (collapsed across gender). Results revealed no significant difference for BC or HGS (p = 0.171 – 0.619), however, there was a significant difference between pre and post-test for SE (p = 0.001). Pre versus post SE mean was 26.68 and 30.36 respectively. Additionally independent t-tests were assessed per gender. For females, no significance was observed for any variables (p = 0.059 – 0.729). For males, no differences were seen for FM or HGS (p = 0.161 – 0.687), however, there was a significant difference for SE (p = 0.004). Lastly, a Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to examine the relationships between FM, HGS and SE. Results from Pearson Correlation Coefficient test revealed no significant differences (p = 0.281 – 0.455) or effect sizes (-.116 - .100). Conclusion: The present findings suggest that structured physical activity, can have a positive outcome on high-school aged self-esteem values. While no significant differences were observed for body composition, or hand grip strength, it is possible that engaging in structured physical activity can increase adolescents’ self-esteem. Statistics suggest that males positive SE could be attributed to structured physical activity, however, more studies are needed to support this theory.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Productive sedentary-to-light activity pursuits may enhance the relationship between positive health behaviors, like physical activity and sufficient fruit and vegetable intake, and weight status. The purpose of this study is to examine whether participation in a creative, problem-solving program is related to overweight/obesity, other sedentary pursuits, physical activity, and diet. Methods: This study describes select health behaviors that are believed to be related to body weight status for 1,679 adolescents in grades 6-12 participating in the 2008 Destination Imagination (DI) Global Finals. Dietary, physical activity (PA), and sedentary behavior data was collected via self-reported survey based on the 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Measured height and weight data were collected to calculate BMI percentile. Using multinomial regression, models were constructed to predict the likelihood of being overweight/obesity compared to normal weight. Results: The prevalence of overweight in the study population was 15.6% and obese was 11.4%. Fruit/vegetable intake, milk consumption, moderate/vigorous PA, television time, and total screen time (ST) were all independently associated with weight status. After controlling for all covariates, male gender, minority racial/ethnic status, and high ST while not meeting the PA recommendation significantly increased the likelihood of overweight/obesity. DI exposure does not appear to be independently associated with, nor influence the relationship between, the above variables and the risk of overweight/obesity. Conclusion: The participants in the current study are leaner and engage in healthier behaviors compared to national data for adolescents. Even among these low risk adolescents, the interaction between sedentary and physical activity behavior, presented as an interactive measure, was strongly associated with weight status.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
