This scientific statement addresses parents and adult caregivers (PACs) as “agents of change” for obese children, evaluating the strength evidence that particular parenting strategies can leverage behavior change reduce positive energy balance in youth. The has 3 specific aims. first is to review core PACs used family-based treatment programs provide a resource list. second evaluate greater parental “involvement” associated with better reductions child overweight. third identify research...
This study tested whether children's eating behavior and parental feeding prompts during a laboratory test meal differ among children born at high risk (HR) or low (LR) for obesity are associated with excess child weight gain. At 4 years of age, 32 HR (mean maternal prepregnancy BMI = 30.4 kg/m(2)) 29 LR (maternal 19.6 consumed in which their was assessed, including rate caloric consumption, mouthfuls/min, requests food. Parental the to eat also were measured year 4, body composition ages 6...
Prior studies showed that food insecurity may increase the odds of obesity in children and adults. We still know very little about familial aggregation food-insecure households or mechanisms by which confers an increased risk to children. The purpose this study was compare mothers from food-secure their weight status, child eating patterns/behaviors, maternal feeding practices.Fifty 8-10-year-old were asked complete questionnaires, including U.S. Household Food Security survey, had own...
Most prior studies examining maternal pre‐pregnancy body mass index (BMI) in relation to offspring autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have reported an association, though findings are not uniform and few also examined gestational weight gain (GWG). Therefore, we both the Study Explore Early Development, a multi‐site case–control study of children born 2003–2006. Children identified from clinics, schools, birth certificates were enrolled at ages 2–5 year using standardized developmental...
Increasing the portion size of energy‐dense entrées has been shown to increase children's energy intake during a meal. It remains be investigated whether serving larger portions children can used promote more healthful foods, such as fruits and vegetables (F&V). The aim present study was examine effects increasing F&V side dishes on intake. Forty‐three (22 boys, 21 girls), aged 5–6 years, were served dinner once week for 2 weeks. Each consisted pasta with tomato sauce, three...
Increased intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice has been associated with overweight in children.This study prospectively assessed beverage consumption patterns their relationship weight status a cohort children born at different risk for obesity.Participants were low (n = 27) or high 22) obesity based on maternal prepregnancy BMI (kg/m(2)). Daily was generated from 3-day food records aged 3-6 years coded into seven categories (milk, juice, drinks, caloric non-caloric soda, soft...
Abstract Objective This pilot study compared children with autism spectrum disorders ( ASD ) and typically developing TDC on weight‐related outcomes caregiver‐reported child eating behaviors feeding practices. Design Sample Cross‐sectional study. Caregivers of 25 30 , ages 4–6. Methods completed validated questionnaires that assessed Children's height, weight, waist circumference were measured. Results Children when to showed significantly greater abdominal circumferences p = .01)...
We sought to assess the association between age and prevalence of obesity among children with without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in 2011-2012 National Survey Children's Health.Analyses were restricted 43,777 children, ages 10-17, valid measures parent-reported weight, height, ASD status. Exploratory analyses describe impact sex, race/ethnicity, household income on relationship ASD.Although overall was significantly (p < 0.001) higher than (23.1% vs. 14.1%, 95% confidence interval for...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pica, the repeated ingestion of nonfood items, can be life-threatening. Although case reports describe pica in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or intellectual disability (ID), there has been little systematic study prevalence. We assessed 30 to 68 months age (median = 55.4 months) and without ASD. METHODS: Our sample from Study Explore Early Development, a multisite case-control study, included ASD (n 1426), other developmental disabilities (DDs)...
