Abstract
Childhood obesity is a growing concern worldwide, with significant implications for public health. Of particular interest is its association with the early onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus in children. Exploring this relationship and identifying contributing factors may help strengthen understanding of this complex relationship. Factors such as family history, gender, and sedentary lifestyle, and poor dietary habits, insulin resistance in adipose tissue have been identified as significant contributors to early-onset type 2 diabetes. The rising prevalence of childhood obesity and its association with diabetes necessitates early interventions to mitigate this concerning trend and ensure a lasting impact on public health. This scoping review aims to investigate the relationship between childhood obesity and early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus while also exploring other contributing factors. We employed a standardized framework for reviews to analyze relevant literature published in English between 2000 and 2021. Only primary research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses addressing the association between childhood obesity and early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus were included. The review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) format. Out of the 3614 articles assessed, 17 were ultimately incorporated into this scoping review as they met the inclusion criteria. The majority of the literature primarily represented North American studies, with no inclusion of studies from South America. The findings from these studies have highlighted several factors contributing to type 2 diabetes mellitus development. Most of the studies associated obesity development with hypertension and unfavorable lipid profiles. It is important to acknowledge that these findings are derived from the available literature and may not encompass the entirety of research on childhood obesity and early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, the limited regional diversity in the selected studies may restrict the generalizability of these findings to other geographic regions. Additional research involving diverse populations is imperative for a comprehensive understanding of the link between childhood obesity and early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus. Insulin resistance in adipose tissue among obese individuals contributes to the transition from obesity to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Notably, this transition occurs at approximately half the duration in obese youths compared to obese adults, where it typically takes around a decade. The increasing prevalence of childhood obesity and diabetes mellitus in high-income, low-income, and middle-income countries necessitate collective efforts to reduce the increasing rates of early-onset type 2 diabetes in children. This scoping review, therefore, seeks to underscore the importance of early interventions with regard to ensuring a lasting impact capable of extending into adulthood.

Inpatient care cost, duration, and acute complications associated with BMI in children and adults hospitalized for COVID-19. Obesity (Silver Spring) 2022; 30:2055-2063. [PMID: 35730688 PMCID: PMC9350354 DOI: 10.1002/oby.23522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the association of BMI with inpatient care cost, duration, and acute complications among patients hospitalized for COVID-19 at 273 US hospitals. METHODS Children (aged 2-17 years) and adults (aged ≥18 years) hospitalized for COVID-19 during March 2020-July 2021 and with measured BMI in a large electronic administrative health care database were included. Generalized linear models were used to assess the association of BMI categories with the cost and duration of inpatient care. RESULTS Among 108,986 adults and 409 children hospitalized for COVID-19, obesity prevalence was 53.4% and 45.0%, respectively. Among adults, overweight and obesity were associated with higher cost of care, and obesity was associated with longer hospital stays. Children with severe obesity had higher cost of care but not significantly longer hospital stays, compared with those with healthy weight. Children with severe obesity were 3.7 times (95% CI: 1.4-9.5) as likely to have invasive mechanical ventilation and 62% more likely to have an acute complication (95% CI: 39%-90%), compared with children with healthy weight. CONCLUSIONS These findings show that patients with a high BMI experience significant health care burden during inpatient COVID-19 care.

Abstract
We examined the way body-weight patterns through the first 4 decades of life relate to gene expression signatures of common forms of morbidity, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and inflammation. As part of wave V of the nationally representative National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (1997–2018) in the United States, mRNA abundance data were collected from peripheral blood (n = 1,132). We used a Bayesian modeling strategy to examine the relative associations between body size at 5 life stages—birth, adolescence, early adulthood, young adulthood, and adulthood—and gene expression–based disease signatures. We compared life-course models that consider critical or sensitive periods, as well as accumulation over the entire period. Our results are consistent with a sensitive-period model when examining CVD and T2D gene expression signatures: Birth weight has a prominent role for the CVD and T2D signatures (explaining 33.1% and 22.1%, respectively, of the total association accounted for by body size), while the most recent adult obesity status (ages 33–39) is important for both of these gene expression signatures (24.3% and 35.1%, respectively). Body size in all life stages was associated with inflammation, consistent with the accumulation model.

Pediatr Obes 2019; 14:e12554. [PMID: 31215152 PMCID: PMC6812586 DOI: 10.1111/ijpo.12554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2018] [Revised: 04/14/2019] [Accepted: 05/03/2019] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prenatal nutrition impacts offspring appetite regulation in animal models. However, evidence from humans is scarce. OBJECTIVE To determine associations between indicators of prenatal nutrition and appetite regulation among young children. METHODS Participants included 454 low-income mother/child dyads (mean child age = 45.2 months [SD = 9.7]). Children's appetite regulation was ascertained with the maternal-reported Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire and objectively assessed using the Eating in the Absence of Hunger protocol. Using hierarchical linear regression, we modelled child appetite regulation measures as a function of prenatal nutrition indicators (child birthweight z scores [BWz, BWz2 ]; maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index [BMI], gestational weight gain [GWG]), adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics. RESULTS Among girls, higher and lower birthweight were associated with greater energy consumed in the absence of hunger, primarily sweet foods, coeff (95% CI): BWz 0.17 (0.05, 0.28), BWz2 0.15 (0.04, 0.26), but not food responsiveness or food enjoyment. Higher birthweight was also associated with greater satiety responsiveness among girls. Among boys, birthweight was unrelated to measures of appetite regulation. Associations between maternal BMI and GWG and child appetite regulation were inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS Among low-income girls, but not boys, indicators of adverse prenatal conditions were associated with poor objectively measured appetite regulation during early childhood.
