Abstract:
Steatohepatitis is hepatic steatosis with inflammation and, in some cases, hepatocyte balloon degeneration and fibrosis [1]. Steatohepatitis is a form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which includes a wide range of conditions: from non-alcoholic steatosis (NAS) -fat deposition in the liver of more than 5% of the parenchymal mass without signs of damage to hepatocytes to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which progresses with development fibrosis, cirrhosis and, in some patients, hepatocellular carcinoma [1]. The prevalence of steatohepatitis in the pediatric population, according to various sources, varies greatly. Thus, the recommendations of the North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterologists, Hepatologists and Nutritionists (NASPGHAN) indicate that hypertransaminasemia occurs in 29-38% of obese children aged 2-4 years [1]. According to A. Sahota et al. [2], NASH was found in 12% of obese and overweight children. The joint recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment and preventionof obesity in children and adolescents of the Russian Association of Endocrinologists, the Russian Society for the Prevention of Non-Infectious Diseases, and the Association of Pediatric Cardiologists of Russia note that NASH is diagnosed in 12-26% of obese children and adolescents [3]. Obesity and overweight currently affect 25-30% of school-age children [4]. The situation is almost the same for preschool children. The COSI (Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative) study, conducted under the WHO programin Moscow in 2017-2018, summing up the dynamics of body weight for the entire preschool period, showed that among children aged 7 years, 27% of boys were overweight and 22% of girls, and obesity -in 10 and 6%, respectively [5]. Another Russian study assessing the physical development of children of middle and school age [6] also demonstrated a significant prevalence of obesity and overweight in this age group in Russian regions. Thus, at 11 years of age, obesity in boys was recorded in 18.6% of cases, ingirls -in 9.2%, and excess body weight -in 15.4 and 14.3%, respectively. At the age of 15, obesity was detected in 10% of cases among boys, in 3.6% of girls, and overweight in 11.5 and 10.5% of cases, respectively [6]. Based on these data, it can be assumed that the incidence of NASH in the pediatric population varies from 0.5 to 3%. It should be noted that the prevalence of obesity, and with it NAFLD, including NASH, is increasing throughout the world due to modern negative trends in the diet and physical activity of children [7].

Abstract:

Obesity is described as a chronic disease affecting adults, children, and adolescents. It has become a significant burden for the healthcare system and is considered one of the top health problems contributing to severe complications from childhood through adulthood. Obesity represents one of the most worrisome health problems in the United States, because it directly affects the health of individuals.

The research objective was to educate parents and grandparents of Latino children under age 17 regarding the importance of healthy food choices and physical activity. The aim was to empower parents and grandparents to practice health promotion and disease prevention. A descriptive design with pretest and posttest was utilized to indicate the knowledge gained by participants after the instructional phase. The result of the data analysis indicated an increase for the majority of participants regarding their level of understanding about healthy eating and the importance of physical activity.

Abstract:
The prevalence of obesity has increased over recent years but obesity stigma remains widespread. The main aim of this study was to examine whether the hypothesised rejection of fatness by young children is specific to overweight or common to other visible difference. Whether the body size of the character’s peer group moderates or accentuates the rejection was also examined. One hundred and fifty, four to six year old school children (79 girls, 71 boys, mean age of 5 years and 7 months), were individually interviewed. The main character was presented in a story as either overweight, in a wheelchair or average weight. The character’s peer group was also varied in weight. Two methods were used to evaluate the character’s perceived attributes. The main and comparison characters were rated on five point scales. Then participants chose which character was most likely to possess the attribute. Participants also made a friendship choice. Forced choice attribute questions showed a preference for the average weight over the overweight character for happiness with her looks, number of friends, likelihood of receiving party invites, being good at school work and likelihood of winning a race. The character in a wheelchair was also rejected but on fewer attributes. Ratings showed significant differences on similar attributes but the mean scores were neutral or positive, rather than negative. On the friendship choice between the overweight and average weight characters children rejected the overweight character. The weight of the character’s peer group was also found to affect perceptions of the main character. Young children perceive and evaluate obesity differently to other visible difference but not overwhelmingly negatively. Peer relationships appear to be the attribute most affected. Social context also appears to be important at this age. The way in which children are asked to make judgements appears to affect the degree of negativity.

Abstract:
Background: Childhood obesity remains a major public health concern. While preventing childhood obesity is important, the effectiveness of existing prevention strategies is indefinite. Important obesity contributors are speculated to be overlooked while the role of well-studied obesity-related factors has been questioned. Objectives: 1) Although the association between lifestyle and obesity is seemingly well-established, how an overlooked dietary factor, breakfast location, associates with obesity was investigated 2) At a time where inconsistencies in findings for the frequently studied association between TV viewing and obesity still exist, this thesis tested for the existence of the said association in the understudied Chinese population 3) The effect of mental health on childhood obesity is understudied. Using self-esteem as a mental health indicator, the effect of self-esteem on childhood obesity was investigated To understand the role of lifestyle factors in the association between self-esteem and obesity, how 4) breakfast habit and 5) TV viewing habit associates with self-esteem was explored Methods: A cohort of 83405 primary 4 (P4) Department of Health Student Health Service participants (49.7% male, mean age 9.9 years) in 1998-2000 were successfully tracked for 2 years into primary 6 (P6). A self-administered health questionnaire collected information on the breakfast and TV habits of participants alongside other lifestyle characteristics. Self-esteem was assessed using the four Culture Free Self-Esteem Inventories for Children (SEI) subscales. Body mass index (BMI) was derived using objectively measured weight and height. Weight status was classified in accordance to International Obesity Task Force standards. Logistic, multinomial logistic and linear regression were used to yield adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and β-coefficients for becoming overweight/obese in P6 (among P4 normal weight children), breakfast skipping/location, TV viewing habit and SEI subscale scores. Breakfast skipping behaviour was tested as a mediator in the association between self-esteem and obesity using standard mediation procedures. Breakfast and TV viewing habits were tested as effect modifiers in the same association by inclusion of interaction terms in models. Results: Among normal weight P4 children, those who skipped breakfast (AOR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.51) or ate away from home (1.39; 1.20 to 1.60) were more likely to become overweight/obese in P6. Poor self-esteem was also associated with higher AORs for becoming overweight/obese, particularly among girls. While TV viewing in P4 did not predict overweight/obesity in P6, those who increased TV watching hours (≤2h/day to 2h/day) during the two follow-up years were 32% more likely to become overweight/obese in P6 than their counterparts who maintained watching ≤2h/day. Breakfast habit and self-esteem was bi-directionally associated. Although a curvilinear inverted J-shaped relation between P4 TV viewing and P6 self-esteem was observed, self-esteem did not predict TV viewing habit. While neither breakfast nor TV viewing habit significantly interacted with self-esteem to predict obesity, breakfast skipping was found to be a potential partial mediator in the association between self-esteem and obesity. Conclusion: Breakfast location, self-esteem and TV viewing patterns over time are important to consider in relation to childhood obesity. Additionally, the association between self-esteem and obesity could be mediated by lifestyle factors.

Abstract:
Background: Childhood obesity is a public health concern worldwide. Information on this condition among children living in poor populations is scarce in Kenya. The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence and predictors of overweight and obesity among young children living in informal settlements. Methods: Cross sectional study conducted among 398 mothers / children 24-59 months old dyads. WHO age and sex specific Weight for Height (WFH) Z - score cut off points were used to determine overweight and obesity. Feeding practices were determined based on a 24-hour dietary intake and a 7-day food frequency. Information on physical activity was collected using the Children’s Physical Activity Questionnaire (CPAQ). Predictors of overweight and obesity were determined using Linear Stepwise Regression Analysis (P<0.05). Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among the children was 7.1%. The mean daily energy intake was (1602 kilocalories), carbohydrate (378.5g) and fat (27.4 g), higher than the RDI. Frequently consumed foods were cereals, mean 5.8; vegetables mean 5.8 and milk mean 6.3 days per week respectively. Fruit consumption was low; mean 2.9 days per week. Children were frequently involved in sedentary activities and screen time; mean 10.6 hours and 21.2 hours per week respectively. The main predictors of overweight and obesity were screen time (1.30; P<0.001); followed by sedentary activities (0.96; P<0.001) and carbohydrate consumption (0.01; P=0.033). Conclusion: Prevalence of overweight and obesity is high among the children due to the high amount of time spent on sedentary activities, screen time, and poor dietary practices. Keywords: Overweight. Obesity, dietary practices, sedentary activities, screen times, physical activities; under-fives, informal settlements

ABSTRACT Background: Childhood obesity remains a serious nutritional problem in both developed and developing countries. The prevalence of school-age children with obesity has increased more than ten times, from 11 million in 1975 to 124 million in 2016. One of the efforts to overcome the increase in childhood obesity is providing school-based intervention. This study aimed to estimate the effect of a school-based intervention to reduce the risk of obesity in children according to data from primary studies. Subjects and Method: This was a meta analysis and systematic review. Studies published from 2007 to 2018 were collected from Google Scholar, PubMed, BMJ, ScienceDirect, BMC, and Sage databases. Keywords used (preschool OR school) AND (intervention OR program OR prevention) AND (“children obesity” OR “children overweight”) AND “randomized control trials”. The inclusion criteria were full text, in English language, using randomized controlled trial study design, and reporting risk ratio. The selected articles were analyzed by PRISMA guideline and Revman 5.3. Results: 8 studies from China (3), Meksiko, United States (2), Portugal, and German showed that school-based intervention reduced the risk of obesity in children (RR= 0.91; CI 95%= 0.84 to 0.99; p=0.040) with (I2=35%; p=0.150).

Abstract:
Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health issues of the twenty-first century. Obesity in children can be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this study is to determine the association between birth weight and obesity in children, as well as the impact that residence has on this relationship. The 2018 Riset Kesehatan Dasar (or Basic Health Research), cross-sectional, Indonesian population survey with a nationwide representative sample, was subjected to secondary analysis. In 2018, parents of children aged 0 to 5 years (n = 71,925) provided height, weight, child's birth weight, and other basic characteristics. With LBW, there was a substantial rise in weight, BMI z-score, and the likelihood of pediatric obesity. LBW children from rural had higher BMI z-scores (mean + Standard Error (SE): 1.39 + 0.03) and higher odds of obesity (odds ratio (OR) (95 percent confidence interval (CI)): 7.45 (6.76 – 8.21)), than those from urban areas. Childhood obesity must be adequately prevented and addressed as soon as possible. Initiatives, policies, and goals are needed to reduce LBW prevalence. According to our findings, children born to LBW in rural areas should be treated as soon as possible with forceful intervention.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Previous studies suggest that individual and environmental factors were associated lack of vegetable and fruit consumption, which can lead to obesity. Recent studies have indicated the level of vegetable and fruit intake in children aged 2-7 years is particularly low. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of fruits and vegetables intake on obesity in school-aged children. Subjects and Method: This was meta-analysis and systematic review. The study was conducted by collecting published articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, Research Gate, dan Springer Link databases, from year 2011 to 2019. Keywords used ”Nutrition” OR “Obesity” AND ”Cross sectional”. The inclusion criteria were full text, using English OR Indonesian language, using cross-sectional study design, and reporting adjusted odds ratio. The study population (P) was school-aged children. Intervention (I) was fruits and vegetables intake with comparison (C) malnutrition. The study outcome (O) was obesity. The collected articles were selected by PRISMA flow chart. The quantitative data were analyzed using Revman 5.3. Results: 6 studies from Ethiopia, South Afrika, Nepal, Ghana, Saudi Arabia, reported that low fruits and vegetables intake increased the risk of obesity in school-aged children (aOR= 1.34; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.70; p<0.001; I2= 92%). Conclusion: Low fruits and vegetables intake increased the risk of obesity in school-aged children. Keywords: obesity, nutrition, fruits and vegetables intake, school-aged children Correspondence: Utami Pangestu. Masters Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret. Jl. Ir.

Abstract:
This Evidence Check was used to inform the program review and refresh of the ‘Live Life Well @ School’ program as part of the NSW Healthy Children Initiative. It aimed to discover the effectiveness of obesity prevention programs for children delivered in primary school settings. It also examined how best to implement them, to maximise the number of children participating and the overall impact of the programs. Eighteen studies were found to address the question of effectiveness, finding evidence for programs focused on nutrition, physical activity or a combination of them (sometimes with additional components); school food service and environments; and active travel strategies. The studies addressing this question were judged to be of moderate to critically low quality. Thirty-two studies were found to address the question of implementation, finding evidence for strategies involving audit and feedback; continuous quality improvement; external funding; education materials; education meetings or outreach visits; local consensus processes; local opinion leaders; and tailored interventions to improve implementation of healthy canteen policies.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize available randomized controlled trial studies concerning the effects of exercise interventions on fundamental motor skills in children with autism spectrum disorder. Condition being studied: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complicated and highly prevalent neuro-developmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. The CDC reported that the prevalence of ASD was estimated to be 1 in 59 in the United States by 2020. Along with typical symptoms, a couple of studies have indicated that individuals with ASD encounter a variety of challenges, including sleep disturbance, obesity, executive function deficits, physical inactivity, and motor dysfunctions. Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are the unnaturally occurring basic motor learning model of the human body, which are the building blocks for advanced specialized motor skills and for children and adolescents to participate in sports, games, or other context-specific physical activity.FMS falls into three different categories: (a) locomotor skills (e.g., running and hopping), (b) object control skills (e.g., catching and throwing), and balance or stability skills (e.g., balancing and twisting).
