Abstract
This randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a family-based and mobile-assisted lifestyle intervention in reducing weight gain among school-age children with overweight and obesity. A total of 164 school-age children with overweight or obesity and their parents were randomized to the treatment intervention (n = 82) or an attention-control group (n = 82). The treatment intervention included three face-to-face education sessions, augmented by monthly text messages sent to parents on their mobile devices. The primary outcome was child BMI-for-age z-score. Secondary outcomes included child BMI, percent body fat, and actigraphy-assessed sleep as well as parental sleep quality. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months after the intervention, with treatment effects analyzed using general linear models for repeated measures. Our results showed that children in the treatment intervention group had significantly lower BMI-for-age z score, BMI, and percent body fat than did those in the control group, with an adjusted mean difference of 0.31 units (95% CI: -0.59 to -0.03; p = 0.03), 1.34 kg/m² (95% CI, -2.42 to -0.26; p = 0.01), and 3.12% (95% CI, -5.93 to -0.30; p = 0.03), respectively. No treatment effects were observed for child and parental sleep. Our findings suggest that family-based and mobile-assisted lifestyle intervention results in significant and sustained benefits to enhanced weight management for school-age children with overweight and obesity. Nurses planning and delivering childhood overweight and obesity treatment interventions should consider a family-based approach with the assistance of mobile devices.

Abstract
Background: Families with children who have or are at risk for obesity have differing needs and a one-size-fits-all approach can negatively impact program retention, engagement, and outcomes. Individually tailored interventions could engage families and children through identifying and prioritizing desired areas of focus. Despite literature defining tailoring as individualized treatment informed by assessment of behaviors, intervention application varies. This review aims to exhibit the use of the term "tailor" in pediatric obesity interventions and propose a uniform definition. Methods: We conducted a scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines among peer-reviewed pediatric obesity prevention and management interventions published between 1995 and 2021. We categorized 69 studies into 6 groups: (1) individually tailored interventions, (2) computer-tailored interventions/tailored health messaging, (3) a protocolized group intervention with a tailored component, (4) only using the term tailor in the title, abstract, introduction, or discussion, e) using the term tailor to describe another term, and (5) interventions described as culturally tailored. Results: The scoping review exhibited a range of uses and lack of explicit definitions of tailoring in pediatric obesity interventions including some that deviate from individualized designs. Effective tailored interventions incorporated validated assessments for behaviors and multilevel determinants, and recipient-informed choice of target behavior(s) and programming. Conclusions: We urge interventionists to use tailoring to describe individualized, assessment-driven interventions and to clearly define how an intervention is tailored. This can elucidate the role of tailoring and its potential for addressing the heterogeneity of behavioral and social determinants for the prevention and management of pediatric obesity.

Abstract
Interventions aiming to reduce social inequalities of weight status in adolescents usually focus on lifestyle behaviours, but their effectiveness is limited. This study analysed the effect of achieving levels of dietary intake (DI) and/or physical activity (PA) guidelines on reducing social inequalities in weight status among adolescents. We included adolescents from the PRomotion de l'ALIMentation et de l'Activité Physique - INÉgalité de Santé (PRALIMAP-INÈS) trial with weight status data available at baseline and 1-year follow-up (n 1130). PA and DI were measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and a validated FFQ, respectively. We estimated the likelihood of a 1-year reduction in BMI z-score (BMIz) and population risk difference (PRD) under hypothetical DI and PA levels and socio-economic status using the parametric G-formula. When advantaged and less advantaged adolescents maintained their baseline DI and PA, we found social inequalities in weight status, with a PRD of a 1-year reduction in BMIz of -1·6 % (-3·0 %, -0·5 %). These inequalities were not observed when less advantaged adolescents increased their proportion of achieving DI guidelines by 30 % (PRD = 2·2 % (-0·5 %, 5·0 %)) unlike the same increase in PA (PRD = -3·9 % (-6·8 %, -1·3 %)). Finally, social inequalities of weight status were not observed when levels of achievement of both PA and DI guidelines increased by 30 % (PRD = 2·2 % (-0·5 %, 4·0 %)). Enhancing DI rather than PA could be effective in reducing social inequalities in weight status among adolescents. Future interventions aiming to reduce these inequalities should mostly target DI to be effective.

Abstract
PURPOSE Childhood adversity plays a fundamental role in predicting youth cardiometabolic health. Our understanding of how adverse experiences in childhood should best be conceptualized remains elusive, based on one-dimensional measures of adversity. The present study fills a major gap in existing research by examining two distinct forms of threat and instability-related exposures that may impact cardiometabolic risk (CMR) in adolescence. METHODS We explore two specific subtypes of adversity: trauma (e.g., badly hurt, victim of crime, loss of close person) and instability (e.g., moving, change of schools, change in household structure) as differential influences that can accumulate to impact early childhood onset of CMR (body mass index, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein, diastolic and systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, insulin sensitivity). Secondary data were drawn from a randomized control behavioral trial of youth recruited during sixth grade from urban Cleveland (Ohio) schools beginning in 2012-2014 (n = 360) and followed for 3 years. Participants reported on 12 adverse experiences, six trauma- and six instability-specific. Multiple regression assessed effects of prospective and accumulative indices of trauma and instability with 3-year trajectories of eight objective CMR markers. RESULTS Instability was associated with increased body mass index, decreased high-density lipoprotein, and increased C-reactive protein slopes. Trauma was associated with trends in triglyceride levels but not with any other CMR outcomes. DISCUSSION Experiences with instability distinctly impacted adolescent CMR. Future research is needed to examine factors that can enhance stability for families in marginalized communities.

The efficacy of sleep lifestyle interventions for the management of overweight or obesity in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Public Health 2024; 24:321. [PMID: 38287352 PMCID: PMC10825984 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-024-17708-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood obesity remains a significant public health concern. Sleep duration and quality among children and youth are suboptimal worldwide. Accumulating evidence suggests an association between inadequate sleep and obesity risk, yet it is unclear whether this relationship is causal. This systematic review examines the efficacy of sleep interventions alone or as a part of lifestyle interventions for the management of overweight or obesity among children and adolescents. METHODS A keyword/reference search was performed twice, in January 2021 and May 2022 in MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE/Ovid, PsycINFO/EBSCO, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science Core Collection/Web of Science, SciELO/Web of Science, and CINAHL/EBSCO. Study eligibility criteria included youth with overweight or obesity between 5 and 17, were RCTs or quasi-randomized, and focused on the treatment of overweight and obesity with a sleep behavior intervention component. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias assessment tool (RoB2). A Meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the effect of interventions with a sleep component on BMI. The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021233329). RESULTS A total of 8 studies (2 quasi-experiments, 6 RCTs) met inclusion criteria and accounted for 2,231 participants across 7 countries. Only one study design isolated the effect of sleep in the intervention and reported statistically significant decreases in weight and waist circumference compared to control, though we rated it at high risk of bias. Our meta-analysis showed no significant overall effect on children's BMI as a result of participation in an intervention with a sleep component (Cohen's d = 0.18, 95% CI= -0.04, 0.40, Z = 1.56, P = .11), though caution is warranted due to substantial heterogeneity observed across studies (Tau2 = 0.08; X2 = 23.05, df = 7; I2 = 83.73%). CONCLUSIONS There were mixed results on the effect of sleep interventions across included studies on BMI, other weight-related outcomes, diet, physical activity, and sleep. Except for one study at low risk of bias, three were rated as 'some concerns' and four 'high risk of bias'. Findings from this study highlight the need for additional RCTs isolating sleep as a component, focusing on children and adolescents living with overweight and obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multi-component psychological interventions may mitigate overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. Evidence is, however, scattered on the effectiveness of such interventions. This study aims to review the available evidence on the effectiveness of multi-component psychological interventions on anthropometric measures of school-aged children with overweight or obesity. METHODS We systematically searched international databases/search engines including PubMed and NLM Gateway (for MEDLINE), Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar up to November 2022 for relevant articles pertaining to psychological weight-loss interventions targeting school-aged children. Two reviewers screened and extracted pertinent data. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool for Randomized Trials. Random effect meta-analysis was used to calculate, and pool standardized mean differences (SMD). We distinguished between intervention and maintenance effects. Intervention effects were defined as the mean change in outcome measurement detected between baseline and post-treatment. Maintenance effects were defined as the mean change in outcome measurement between post-treatment and last follow-up. RESULTS Of 3,196 studies initially identified, 54 and 30 studies were included in the qualitative and quantitative syntheses, respectively. Most studies reported on group-based interventions. The significant effects of intervention on BMI z-score (SMD -0.66, 95% CI: -1.15, -0.17) and WC (SMD -0.53, 95% CI: -1.03, -0.04) were observed for interventions that centered on motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy, respectively. Mean BMI and WC did not differ significantly between post-treatment and last follow-up measurement (maintenance effect), indicating that an initial weight loss obtained through the intervention period could be maintained over time. CONCLUSIONS Findings indicate that motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy as interventions to reduce BMI z-score (generalized obesity) and waist circumference (abdominal obesity) are effective and durable. However, detailed analyses on individual components of the interventions are recommended in future effectiveness studies.

Abstract
Childhood obesity is a major health issue and a prominent chronic health condition for children in the United States (U.S.), caused by a multitude of factors. Most existing models of childhood obesity prevention have not worked, yielding little to no effect on improving weight status or the proximal health behaviors most attributed to obesity risk: nutritional intake, physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and sleep. There is an urgent need for new approaches to prevent health disparities that are responsive to impacts of economic inequality on healthy child growth in marginalized populations. In this Short Commentary, a social justice update is provided to motivate a new generation of research that promotes equitable and healthy child growth under present-day social, economic, and political circumstances. Social work-specific research and policy recommendations are provided to guide future research that targets underlying social and economic determinants of weight-related health disparities in childhood. Recommendations include research on cross-disciplinary metrics to better capture reductions in health disparities and the development and testing of policy and system interventions that address structural issues and strengthen health resources in marginalized communities. Progress in reducing disparities in childhood obesity will likely remain inhibited until recommendations from social work research are incorporated to strengthen existing medical and public health models and redirect the childhood obesity epidemic toward equitable, healthy child growth.

Abstract
Rates of overweight and obesity are problematic among systematically marginalized youth; however, these youth and their families are a hard-to-reach research population. The purpose of our study was to identify facilitators and barriers for recruiting systematically marginalized families in youth weight-management intervention research. This study built upon existing evidence through involvement of youth, parents, community agency workers, and school nurses, and an exploration of both recruitment materials and processes. Seven focus groups were conducted with 48 participants from 4 stakeholder groups (youth, parents, school nurses, and community agency workers). A codebook approach to thematic analysis was used to identify key facilitator and barrier themes related to recruitment materials and processes across the stakeholder groups. Ecological systems theory was applied to contextualize the facilitators and barriers identified. Participants reported the need to actively recruit youth in the study through engaging, fun recruitment materials and processes. Participants reported greater interest in recruitment at community-based events, as compared to recruitment through health care providers, underscoring the depth of distrust that this sample group has for the health care system. Recommendations for recruitment materials and processes for weight-management intervention research with systematically marginalized families are proposed.

Abstract
AIMS Social determinants of health (SDOH) influence cardiovascular health in the general population; however, the degree to which this occurs in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is not well understood. We evaluated associations among socioeconomic deprivation and cardiometabolic risk factors (hemoglobin A1c, low-density lipoprotein, blood pressure, body mass index, physical activity) in individuals with T1D from the T1D Clinic Exchange Registry. METHODS We evaluated the association between the social deprivation index (SDI) and cardiometabolic risk factors using multivariable and logistic regression among 18,754 participants ages 13 - 90 years (mean 29.2 ± 17) in the T1D Exchange clinic registry from 6,320 zip code tabulation areas (2007-2017). RESULTS SDI was associated with multiple cardiometabolic risk factors even after adjusting for covariates (age, biological sex, T1D duration, and race/ethnicity) in the multivariable linear regression models. Those in the highest socially deprived areas had 1.69 (unadjusted) and 1.78 (adjusted) times odds of a triple concomitant risk burden of poor glycemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Persistent SDOH differences could account for a substantial degree of poor achievement of cardiometabolic targets in individuals with T1D. Our results suggest the need for a broader framework to understand the association between T1D and adverse cardiometabolic outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Obesity is a chronic multifactorial disease affecting approximately one in five youth. Many pediatric clinical strategies focus on behavioral change/lifestyle modification efforts, but are limited by their intensity and muted by their inability to address the sociocultural contexts of obesity. The primary objective of the study was to explore primary care pediatric clinicians' current barriers/management practices of patients with obesity. Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted by distributing an electronic survey to pediatric providers in Washington, DC, and its surrounding metropolitan area. Three focus groups were conducted with a subgroup of these primary care clinicians to further explore their responses. Results: Pediatric clinicians (n = 81) completed the survey out of 380 invitations sent, and 20 took part in 3 focus groups, ranging in size between 4 and 8 clinicians. Over 90% of clinicians felt comfortable advising patients. However, 52% lacked confidence in addressing obesity and over 80% indicated that time constraint is a barrier to care and emphasized the need for more training in obesity management. Six themes emerged regarding clinician barriers to addressing obesity, including (1) limited time, (2) clinician perceived familial resistance, (3) challenges with racial and ethnic concordance, (4) perceived environmental barriers, (5) limited knowledge of community resources, and (6) inadequate collaborative support. Conclusions: Clinicians have difficulty implementing obesity management strategies into their everyday practice due to a variety of barriers. This study emphasized the need for better implementation strategies, tools, and collaboration with community stakeholders for clinicians to engage weight management more effectively.

Nonpharmacological Interventions to Lengthen Sleep Duration in Healthy Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. JAMA Pediatr 2022; 176:1084-1097. [PMID: 36094530 PMCID: PMC9468945 DOI: 10.1001/jamapediatrics.2022.3172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Importance Adequate sleep duration is necessary for many aspects of child health, development, and well-being, yet sleep durations for children are declining, and effective strategies to increase sleep in healthy children remain to be elucidated. Objective To determine whether nonpharmaceutical interventions to improve sleep duration in healthy children are effective and to identify the key components of these interventions. Data Sources CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science Core collection, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO trials databases were searched from inception to November 15, 2021. Study Selection Randomized clinical trials of interventions to improve sleep duration in healthy children were independently screened by 2 researchers. A total of 28 478 studies were identified. Data Extraction and Synthesis Data were processed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) reporting guideline. Random-effects meta-analytic models were used to estimate pooled effect sizes. Main Outcomes and Measures Difference in sleep duration, measured in minutes. Results A total of 13 539 child participants from 45 randomized clinical trials were included. Of these, 6897 (50.9%) were in the intervention group and 6642 (49.1%) in the control group, and the mean age ranged from 18 months to 19 years. Pooled results indicate that sleep interventions were associated with 10.5 minutes (95% CI, 5.6-15.4) longer nocturnal sleep duration. There was substantial variation between trials. Sources of variation that were not associated with the study effect size included age group, whether the population was identified as having a sleep problem or being at a socioeconomic disadvantage (eg, coming from a low-income family or area), method of assessment of sleep duration (objective vs subjective), location of intervention delivery (home vs school), whether interventions were delivered in person or used parental involvement, whether behavioral theory was used, environmental change, or had greater or lower intensity. Interventions that included earlier bedtimes were associated with a 47-minute sleep extension (95% CI, 18.9-75.0; 3 trials) compared with remaining studies (7.4 minutes; 95% CI, 2.9-11.8; 42 trials) (P = .006 for group difference). Trials of shorter duration (6 months or less) had larger effects. Conclusions and Relevance Interventions focused on earlier bedtimes may offer a simple, pragmatic, effective way to meaningfully increase sleep duration that could have important benefits for child health.

Doi S, Isumi A, Fujiwara T. Association of Adverse Childhood Experiences Including Low Household Income and Peer Isolation With Obesity Among Japanese Adolescents: Results From A-CHILD Study. Front Public Health 2022; 10:754765. [PMID: 35480585 PMCID: PMC9037323 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.754765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Adverse childhood experience (ACE) is a major risk factor for obesity in both adults and adolescents. Although, arguably, peer isolation and low household income could be conceived as of ACEs, few studies have included these experiences as ACEs. Objectives This study aims to examine whether ACEs, including peer isolation and low household income, are associated with obesity in adolescents. Methods We used pooled data from the Adachi Child Health Impact of Living Difficulty (A-CHILD) study in 2016 and 2018, which is a school-based cross-sectional study in Adachi City, Tokyo, Japan, N = 6,946, 4th (9–10 years old), 6th (11–12 years old), and 8th (13–14 years old) grades. Among the eight items of ACEs, adolescents assessed one item, including peer isolation, and their caregivers assessed seven other items using questionnaires. The adolescents' body mass index (BMI) was measured in school health checkups and calculated to fit the World Health Organization (WHO) standards. Multinomial logistic regression was applied to investigate the association of the cumulative ACEs and each type of ACE with BMI, in which the study was conducted in 2020. Results The number of ACEs was not associated with overweight or obesity among adolescents after adjusting for covariates. As for each type of ACE, single parenthood and low household income showed a significant independent association with obesity. Conclusions The number of ACEs was not associated with overweight or obesity in Japanese adolescents, while single parenthood and low household income showed a significant positive association with obesity. Further longitudinal studies are needed to replicate this association among adolescents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few intervention studies have integrated cultural tailoring, parenting, behavioral, and motivational strategies to address African American adolescent weight loss. PURPOSE The Families Improving Together (FIT) for Weight Loss trial was a randomized group cohort study testing the efficacy of a cultural tailoring, positive parenting, and motivational intervention for weight loss in overweight African American adolescents (N = 241 adolescent/caregiver dyads). METHODS The trial tested an 8-week face-to-face group motivational plus family weight loss program (M + FWL) compared with a comprehensive health education control program. Participants were then rerandomized to an 8-week tailored or control online program to test the added effects of the online intervention on reducing body mass index and improving physical activity (moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [MVPA], light physical activity [LPA]), and diet. RESULTS There were no significant intervention effects for body mass index or diet. There was a significant effect of the group M + FWL intervention on parent LPA at 16 weeks (B = 33.017, SE = 13.115, p = .012). Parents in the group M + FWL intervention showed an increase in LPA, whereas parents in the comprehensive health education group showed a decrease in LPA. Secondary analyses using complier average causal effects showed a significant intervention effect at 16 weeks for parents on MVPA and a similar trend for adolescents. CONCLUSIONS While the intervention showed some impact on physical activity, additional strategies are needed to impact weight loss among overweight African American adolescents.

Examining current physical activity interventions in Black school-age children and parents: A systematic review. Prev Med 2021; 153:106814. [PMID: 34597612 DOI: 10.1016/j.ypmed.2021.106814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2020] [Revised: 09/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Obesity is prevalent in Black children and adults; increasing physical activity (PA) can aid in reducing childhood obesity in both age groups. The purpose of this systematic review is to examine current research on PA interventions in school-age Black children. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted in six databases for PA interventions in Black children. A total of 13 articles met inclusion criteria (n = 7 randomized controlled trial, n = 5 quasi-experimental, n = 1 cross-sectional). The majority of the articles were on a combination of diet and PA programs (n = 9). Four articles targeted PA and parental role modeling of PA as the outcome showing positive intervention effects. Nine additional studies included PA as an outcome variable along with at least one additional obesity-related predictor. PA interventions for Black school-age children typically use a parent-child dyadic approach (n = 13), are guided by theory (n = 11) and are high quality. However, continued investigation is warranted to draw definitive conclusions and determine how to best involve parents within the PA interventions. Theory-driven higher quality trials that clearly describe the structured PA component and outcomes among Black parent-child dyads are needed.

Correlates of obesity in adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder: The 2017-2018 National Survey of Children's Health. Disabil Health J 2021; 15:101221. [PMID: 34654677 DOI: 10.1016/j.dhjo.2021.101221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Revised: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and childhood obesity are increasing, and youth with ASD are at an increased risk of obesity compared to typically developing youth. Specific obesity risk factors in adolescents with ASD remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE This study examined correlates of obesity among adolescents with and without ASD using extant 2017-2018 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) data. METHODS This cross-sectional study examined the co-occurrence of obesity among US adolescents with ASD aged 10-17 years compared to those without ASD, adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, co-occurring conditions, and relevant covariates, using 2017-2018 NSCH data. Multiple logistic regression was used to compare the odds of obesity among children with mild ASD, moderate/severe ASD, and without ASD. RESULTS Odds of obesity were higher in adolescents with ASD compared to adolescents without ASD (cOR 1.9, CI 1.3-2.7). In the adjusted model, the odds of obesity were not significantly higher in those with mild or moderate/severe ASD compared to those without ASD. Odds of obesity were higher for all adolescents who were Hispanic or Black, as well as those with lower household income or with one or more co-occurring conditions. CONCLUSIONS The association between obesity and ASD in this study highlights the need for greater attention to nutrition, physical activity, and co-occurring conditions among adolescents with ASD. Effective interventions to curtail the risks among racial/ethnic minority adolescents and adolescents with lower household income are needed. Further research is needed to examine additional factors associated with obesity in adolescents with ASD, including family, community, organizational, and policy factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to characterise parents' concerns for their children's health behaviours and perceptions of motivators and barriers to positive child health behaviour change, and to determine associations between motivators and barriers and parents' priorities for a school-based healthy lifestyle programme. DESIGN Cross-sectional study of 46 parents who had completed an un-validated survey distributed during school-wide events. SETTING School for children aged 5-14 years in The Bronx, New York City, USA. METHODS Wilcoxon Rank Sum tests compared motivators and barriers to positive child health behaviour change by heath behaviour concern; Spearman's correlation measured associations between motivators and barriers and programme priorities. RESULTS Parents concerned about child weight significantly ranked keeping up with others and decreasing clothing size as motivators, while parents concerned about child food choices significantly ranked improving food choices and decreasing BMI and clothing size as motivators. Food-, play-, and self-esteem-related motivators were associated with nutrition education (rs ≥ .41, p ≤ .01), physical activity classes (rs ≥ .29, p ≤ .04) and child involvement in programme decision-making (rs ≥ .43, p ≤ .01) priorities. Consistency-, child resistance-, and home rules-related barriers were associated with nutrition education (rs ≥ .37, p=.02), physical activity classes (rs ≥ .32, p = .02), and child involvement (rs ≥ .40, p ≤ .02) priorities. CONCLUSIONS Despite the study sample size, selection bias, and generalisability limitations, prioritising nutrition, physical activity and child involvement in programme decision-making may enhance parent support for school-based healthy lifestyle programmes.

Abstract
Objective: The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial, conducted in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota (2014-2019), was to evaluate the effects of a school-based, school nurse-delivered, secondary obesity prevention intervention to reduce excess weight gain among preadolescent children with obesity or at risk of developing obesity. Methods: Parent/child dyads (n = 132) were randomized to the 9-month Students, Nurses, and Parents Seeking Healthy Options Together (SNAPSHOT) intervention (32.5 contact hours) or newsletter-only control group. Eligible children were 8 to 12 years old, proficient in English, and with a BMI ≥75th percentile, calculated using height/weight reported by a parent, school nurse, or clinician. The primary outcome was child BMI for sex/age z-score (BMIz) at postintervention (12 months) and follow-up (24 months). Results: Among children, 63% were non-White, 51% were male, and 51% with obesity, including 21% with severe obesity. Among families, 59% received economic assistance and 30% reported food insecurity. The mean number of intervention contact hours received was 20 (range: 0-32.5). Among dyads (n = 54) receiving the intervention, parents were very satisfied/satisfied with SNAPSHOT and SNAPSHOT staff, 96% and 100%, respectively, and very likely/likely (97%) to recommend SNAPSHOT to others. Most (70%) children liked the kid group sessions "a lot." In an intent-to-treat analysis, there were no significant between-group differences in child BMIz at 12 [0.04; 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.07 to 0.16] or 24 months (0.06; 95% CI -0.08 to 0.20), with participant retention of 92% and 93%, respectively. Conclusions: The SNAPSHOT intervention was well received, but did not improve BMI in a mostly diverse, low-income preadolescent population. Approaches to intervention delivery that are feasible, maximize accessibility, and optimize clinician and school nurse collaboration warrant consideration. Clinical trial registration identifier NCT02029976.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study set out to examine the role of parenting practices in protecting or exacerbating the negative effects of parent and adolescent stress on adolescent body mass index (BMI) over time. Separate longitudinal models were conducted to evaluate how parenting practices interacted with parental perceived stress and adolescent perceived stress in predicting adolescent BMI. METHODS Baseline data were collected from 148 African American adolescents (Mage = 12.93, SD = 1.75; Mz-BMI = 0.78, SD = 0.50; MBMI%-ile = 96.7, SD = 3.90) and their caregivers (Mage = 44.45, SD = 8.65; MBMI = 37.63, SD = 8.21) enrolled in the Families Improving Together for Weight Loss trial. Adolescents self-reported their perceptions of caregiver parenting style and feeding practices. Both caregivers and adolescents self-reported their perceptions of chronic stress. BMI for parents and adolescents was assessed objectively at baseline and 16 weeks post-intervention. RESULTS Hierarchical regression models predicting adolescent BMI z-score (z-BMI) indicated a significant interaction between parental perceived stress and parental pressure to eat. Simple slopes analyses demonstrated that for those parents that exhibit higher pressure to eat, parent stress was positively associated with adolescent z-BMI. CONCLUSIONS These findings provide preliminary support suggesting that certain parenting practices interact with chronic stress on adolescent weight-related outcomes and that future interventions may consider integrating these factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine impact of a primary care-based child obesity prevention intervention beginning during pregnancy on early childhood weight outcomes in low-income Hispanic families. METHODS A randomized controlled trial comparing mother-infant pairs receiving either standard care or the Starting Early Program providing prenatal and postpartum nutrition counseling and nutrition parenting support groups targeting key obesity-related feeding practices in low-income groups. Primary outcomes were reduction in weight-for-age z-scores (WFAzs) from clinical anthropometric measures, obesity prevalence (weight for age ≥95th percentile), and excess weight gain (WFAz trajectory) from birth to age 3 years. Secondary outcomes included dose effects. RESULTS Pregnant women (n = 566) were enrolled in the third trimester; 533 randomized to intervention (n = 266) or control (n = 267). Also, 358 children had their weight measured at age 2 years; 285 children had weight measured at age 3 years. Intervention infants had lower mean WFAz at 18 months (0.49 vs 0.73, P = .04) and 2 years (0.56 vs 0.81, P = .03) but not at 3 years (0.63 vs 0.59, P = .76). No group differences in obesity prevalence were found. When generalized estimating equations were used, significant average treatment effects were detected between 10-26 months (B = -0.19, P = .047), although not through age 3 years. In within group dose analyses at 3 years, obesity rates (26.4%, 22.5%, 8.0%, P = .02) decreased as attendance increased with low, medium, and high attendance. CONCLUSIONS Mean WFAz and growth trajectories were lower for the intervention group through age 2 years, but there were no group differences at age 3. Further study is needed to enhance sustainability of effects beyond age 2.

Abstract
Adolescent obesity continues to be a serious concern around the world, placing young people at risk for chronic conditions and early death. Research has shown that social relationships are important in making health behavior changes, such as following health-care recommendations for eating and physical activity. Specifically, the trust of health-care providers has been shown to be important in making health behavior change. Evidence suggests that obese young adults are less trusting of health-care providers than their healthy weight peers, but it is not known if this also applies to obese adolescents. The purpose of this secondary analysis study was to determine relationships between the trust of health-care providers and body mass index percentile in adolescents. Participants were 224 adolescents aged 14-19 years attending a public high school in the Midwestern United States. The Wake Forest Physician Trust scale measured the trust of health-care providers. Height and weight were collected at a school screening; body mass index percentile categories were determined according to age- and sex-adjusted body mass index percentiles. One-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey tests showed trust scores varied significantly between body mass index percentile categories of girls. Results suggest it may be necessary for health-care providers to make additional efforts to build trust with obese adolescent girls than with other groups of adolescents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Latino grandparents are often involved in rearing grandchildren, but their roles in promoting children's physical activity (PA) have been largely overlooked. This study examined the impact of a community-based intervention called Nietos Activos y Saludables (Active and Healthy Grandchildren) on Latino grandparents' knowledge about and self-efficacy in supporting grandchildren's (aged 2-12 years) PA. METHOD The Spanish language intervention, consisting of 4 weekly sessions, was delivered to 12 Latino grandparents (primarily female, aged > 60 years) in Los Angeles County from October to November 2017. Pre- and posttest surveys and postintervention focus groups assessed the intervention impact. RESULTS Participants indicated that the intervention provided useful information. After intervention sessions, participants achieved a higher score in test on PA requirements for children. They also reported greater knowledge about children's PA, local resources for children's PA, and modifying children's behavior. Additionally, participants reported greater confidence in motivating children in PA and collaborating with parents in promoting children's PA. Results of focus groups generally confirmed the quantitative findings. DISCUSSION Nietos Activos y Saludables intervention has the promise to increase Latino grandparents' knowledge about and self-efficacy in supporting grandchildren's PA. Future studies should test the impact of the intervention on grandparents' behavior and grandchildren's health outcomes using a randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
Objective: Childhood obesity is associated with long-term health consequences, yet little is known about the prevalence of child and parent risk factors of overweight across the socioeconomic gradient in early life. This exploratory study documents the prevalence of risk factors that contribute to overweight among toddlers within and across socioeconomic status (SES). Methods: Obesity risk factors were examined within and across SES quintiles in a nationally representative sample. Data were collected from 5,100 mothers and 2-year-old children. Weighted regression models assessed child and parent characteristics that predict toddler weight status in a national sample and samples stratified by SES quintiles. Results: Higher rates of overweight were observed in Q1 (29.2%) and reduced with each successive SES quintile (16.9%-Q5), suggesting a gradient effect. Results indicated factors unique within quintiles, distinct from the full national sample: Q1-motor development; Q2-motor and mental development, maternal BMI, breastfeeding, bottle feeding, introduction of solid foods; Q3-breastfeeding; and Q4-5-introduction of solid foods. Discussion: Findings further existing knowledge of toddler obesity by uncovering risks relevant for specific SES groups. Results yield implications for social workers to refine strategies for improving toddler health and preventing overweight/obesity.
