“…Increased risk of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (28) and different gut microbiota composition (29) in obesity has been reported which might contribute to gastrointestinal dysmotility, excessive fermentation, altered visceral perception and gut permeability with their metabolites leading to pain-predominant FGID (30,31). Finally, obesity and FGID share common psychological comorbidities, such as stress, depression, and anxiety, which can contribute to each other's development and aggravate each other (32,33,34).…”

Background Functional abdominal pain (FAP) disorders are one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders in children. We aimed to define the association between obesity and functional abdominal pain (FAP) disorders and to assess differences between overweight/obese children and normal weight children with FAP disorders. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of children (2-18 years old) with a clinical diagnosis of FAP who were followed-up in our pediatric gastroenterology unit between 1/2016-10/2018. FAP disorders were defined according to the ROME IV criteria. Body mass index (BMI) percentiles were defined by CDC standards. Patients with BMIs ≥85th percentile were designated as being overweight/obese. A population control group was obtained from the 2015-2016 Israel national health survey. Results Data from 173 children with FAP disorders (median age 11.5 years, 114 females) were included. Seventy-one children (41%) were classified as having functional abdominal pain-NOS, 67 (38.7%) as having irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and 35 (20.2%) has having functional dyspepsia. Fifty-three children (30.6%) were classified as being overweight/obese. Adolescents with FAP disorders had a significantly higher prevalence of overweight/obesity compared to controls (39.5% vs. 30%, respectively, p = 0.04). Children with FAP and overweight were older [12.4 (range 9.8-15.3) vs. 10.8 (7.4-14.1) years, p = 0.04] and had more hospitalizations due to FAP (20.8% vs. 7.6%, p = 0.01) compared to Children with FAP and normal weight. Conclusions Adolescents with FAP had higher prevalence of overweight/obesity compared to controls. Future studies are warranted to raise awareness of weight issues in FAP and determine the effect of weight loss on FAP.

“…Al comparar el estado nutricional y la autoestima no se detectaron diferencias estadísticas (p> 0,05), distinto a lo encontrado en adolescentes obesos, los cuales alcanzaron menores niveles de ésta variable y con tasas significativamente más altas de depresión y ansiedad (21). Niños coreanos obesos, obtuvieron menores niveles de autoestima que los sujetos con peso normal, y la obesidad infantil puede estar relacionada con insatisfacción corporal, lo que lleva a una baja autoestima y altos niveles de síntomas depresivos (22).…”

INTRODUCCIÓNEl informe del Ministerio de Educación de Chile, señala que un 44% de los estudiantes chilenos de octavo año básico (13 años), se encuentra con sobrepeso u obesidad y muy bajos niveles de rendimiento físico (1). La asociación entre ambas variables ha sido ampliamente estudiada, demostrando los efectos negativos de la obesidad infantil (2, 3), además existen componentes psicosociales que afectan el desarrollo personal de los niños.La obesidad produce problemas derivados de la falta de aceptación social y baja autoestima, observándose cada vez en edades más tempranas. En una sociedad en que el cuerpo es un referente de identidad personal y ante la presión social, aparecen cada vez con mayor frecuencia los trastornos asociados a la imagen corporal, generando una preocupación obsesiva por la figura y distorsión de la auto imagen (4). Chil Nutr Vol. 44, Nº1, 2017 En los niños, el sobrepeso genera una baja autoestima, por lo cual su imagen corporal es negativa y el rendimiento académico e interacción social se ven afectados por los sín-tomas depresivos y ansiosos (5). Factores como el rechazo de los compañeros, las burlas relacionadas con el peso, y las normas sociales internalizadas, juegan un papel importante en la disminución de la autoestima de un niño obeso, afectando numerosos aspectos de la salud y el comportamiento, incluyendo el ajuste social, el compromiso de actividad, la dirección objetivo y la presencia de ansiedad (6). RevEn niños y jóvenes, la actividad física (AF) tiene el potencial de actuar positivamente en aspectos sicológicos y sociales como la autoestima, influir beneficiosamente en la función cerebral y cognición (7). Sin embargo, existen escasos estudios en el sistema escolar, que comparen los beneficios de la práctica de actividad física con distintas frecuencias a

“…Alternately, Topcu et al [8] found obese children may experience psychiatric disorders to a greater degree than normal weight children. According to this group, the heightened anxiety and depression of the obese children-could be due to their need to seek more comfort laden foods, but could also suggest a negative feedback cycle of obesity, heightened depression, and anxiety, fewer social interactions, and more challenges with energy balance along with emotion driven eating.…”

Obesity is a worldwide health issue that shows no signs of abating despite concerted efforts in the past decade to understand the determinants of this growing problem, as well as efforts to prevent or reduce the problem. Associated with high rates of morbidity, and lower than anticipated life quality and years of life, as well as significant impacts in middle life on working ability, the costs to the individual and society are increasingly exorbitant, with no respite in sight. This brief was designed to examine the most recent data in PUBMED and Web of Science that discusses the possible role played by foods that can become addictive in the context of obesity, and to examine the evidence base linking food addiction and obesity. Results show that despite the absence of an extensive research base, and clear differences between addictive drugs and foods, there is increasing evidence from human and animal-based research that food addictions can occur in the same way individuals can become addicted to chemical substances, and that a linkage to obesity in some cases cannot be overlooked.
