To provide updated prevalence data on obesity trends among US children and adolescents aged 2 to 19 years from a nationally representative sample.We used the NHANES for 1999 2016. Weight status was determined by using measured height weight physical examination component of calculate age- sex-specific BMI. We report estimates overweight (class I, class II, III) 2-year cycles compared adjusted Wald tests linear ordinary least squares regression.White Asian American have significantly lower...
Importance Autism detection early in childhood is critical to ensure that autistic children and their families have access behavioral support. Early correlates of autism documented electronic health records (EHRs) during routine care could allow passive, predictive model-based monitoring improve the accuracy detection. Objective To quantify value models based on EHR data collected before age 1 year. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective diagnostic study used from seen within Duke...
Abstract Objective: To examine sex‐ and race/ethnicity‐specific relationships between adolescents' self‐esteem weight perception. Method: Descriptive analysis logistic regression of Wave II the National Longitudinal Study Adolescent Health ( N = 6,427 males, 6,574 females; ages 11–21) examined associations low perceived overweight within body mass index (BMI) percentile categories, controlling for sociodemographics stratified by sex race/ethnicity. Results: 25.1% 8% normal females...
While one in five children the USA are now obese, and more than three-quarters receive at least drug during childhood, there is limited dosing guidance for this vulnerable patient population. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling can bridge gap understanding of how pharmacokinetics, including distribution clearance, changes with obesity by incorporating known obesity-related physiological children. The objective study was to develop a virtual population enable physiologically...
OBJECTIVE: Although adverse health outcomes are increased among children with BMI above the 85th (overweight) and 95th (obese) percentiles, previous studies have not clearly defined percentile at which begin to increase. We examined whether existing cutoffs optimal for defining risk dyslipidemia, dysglycemia, hypertension. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional analysis of National Health Nutrition Examination Survey from 2001 2006. Studied were 8216 aged 6 17 years, representative US...
Abstract To describe how social disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic impacted child access to healthcare and health behaviors in 2020. We used mixed-methods conduct surveys in-depth interviews with English- Spanish-speaking parents of young children from five geographic regions USA. Participants completed Exposure Family Impact Survey (CEFIS). Semistructured telephone were conducted between August October Of 72 interviewed, 45.8% participants Hispanic, 20.8% Black (non-Hispanic),...
Restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted lives of young children, but association between and any changes in early childhood developmental milestone achievement US remains unclear.
Variation in energy intake by weight status at different ages may explain inconsistencies previous research on and obesity. Therefore, our objective was to determine the relationship between reported daily categorized across childhood.We examined dietary reports of children 1 17 years using National Health Nutrition Examination Survey, 2001-2008 (N = 12648). Using measured height weight, we based weight-for-length percentile (age <2 years) or BMI (ages 2-17 current recommendations. Dietary...
Assess implicit weight bias in children 9 to 11 years old.Implicit was measured ages (N = 114) by using the Affect Misattribution Procedure. Participants were shown a test image of child for 350 milliseconds followed meaningless fractal (200 milliseconds), and then they asked rate as "good" or "bad." We used pairs matched on age, race, sex, activity but differing child. Implicit difference between positive ratings fractals preceded an healthy-weight overweight child.On average, 64% abstract...
Abstract Obesity is an increasingly alarming public health threat, with nearly 20% of children classified as obese in the United States today. Children obesity are commonly prescribed opioids fentanyl and methadone, accurate dosing critical to reducing risk serious adverse events associated overexposure. However, pharmacokinetic studies challenging conduct, so there limited information guide methadone these children. To address this clinical knowledge gap, physiologically‐based models were...
BACKGROUND: Obesity-promoting content and weight-stigmatizing messages are common in child-directed television programming advertisements, 1 study found similar trends G- PG-rated movies from 2006 to 2010. Our objective was examine the prevalence of such more recent popular children’s movies. METHODS: Raters examined 31 top-grossing released 2012 2015. For each 10-minute segment (N = 302) for as units, raters documented presence eating-, activity-, weight-related observed on-screen. To...
