Introduction:The rates of pediatric obesity in the U.S. are highest among Hispanics. There is no existing meta-analysis of the effects of obesity interventions among Hispanic youth. This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses the effects of obesity prevention and treatment interventions on Hispanic youth's weight status and lifestyle behaviors.Methods: PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus were searched between January 1, 2000 and October 30, 2020. Interventions with ≥50% Hispanic youth aged 0−18 years were included. Using a weighted inverse-variance procedure, fixed-effects and random-effects models were run for an overall effect size on the basis of the Q total test statistic. Hedges' g was calculated for outcomes of interest between baseline and postintervention separately for studies with multiple versus single conditions. Continuous and categorical moderators were also examined.Results: A total of 1,103 articles were screened, of which 117 were included in the narrative synthesis and 105 in the meta-analysis (n=49,276 youth). The overall effects for RCT/quasi-experimental studies on BMI status (g= À0.

We aimed to identify subgroups of Hispanic/Latino (H/L) cancer survivors with distinct health behavior patterns and their associated sociodemographic, medical, and psychosocial characteristics. MethodsBaseline data was used from a randomized clinical trial evaluating the e cacy of an enhanced patient navigation intervention in H/L cancer survivors. Participants (n = 278) completed the Lifestyle Behavior Scale and validated questionnaires on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), supportive care needs, distress, and satisfaction with cancer care. Latent class analysis was used to determine the latent classes and associated characteristics. ResultsThree latent classes emerged: Class 1 (survivors who increased health behaviors [e.g., exercising and eating healthy] since diagnosis); Class 2 (no changes in health behaviors since diagnosis); and Class 3 (a "mixed class," with a higher or lower engagement across various health behaviors since diagnosis).Participants in class 1 were signi cantly more educated and less likely to be foreign born. Participants in class 2 were signi cantly older and more likely to have prostate cancer. H/L cancer survivors in class 3 had a signi cantly lower income, were less educated, and reported greater unmet supportive care needs, more distress, and poorer HRQOL. ConclusionsSurvivors who report engaging in health behaviors less frequently since diagnosis may be experiencing psychosocial challenges and health disparities.
