“…On the one hand, it was observed that the presence of a positive familial history of obesity (FHO) increases the risk of the offspring being obese. [2][3][4][5][6][7] On the other hand, it is well known that environmental factors, such as dietary intakes, are important precursors of health and diseases. 8 The role of individual dietary components has been the focus of considerable research in the field of obesity.…”

Associations between dietary patterns and obesity phenotypes

et al. 2009

Objective: To examine whether dietary patterns are associated with obesity phenotypes. Design: Cross-sectional study. Subjects: We recruited 664 participants aged between 18 and 55 years. Dietary data were collected from a food frequency questionnaire. A factor analysis was performed to derive dietary patterns. Body mass index (BMI), weight and waist girth were recorded using standard procedures. Fat mass and fat-free mass were assessed by electrical bioimpedance. Obesity was defined as having a BMIX30 kg m À2 and a positive FHO (FHO þ ) as having at least one obese first-degree relative. Results: Two dietary patterns were identified; Western and Prudent. The Western pattern was mainly characterized by a higher consumption of refined grains, French fries, red meats, condiments, processed meats and regular soft drinks whereas the Prudent pattern was mainly characterized by a higher consumption of non-hydrogenated fat, vegetables, eggs and fish and seafood. Subjects in the top tertile of the Western pattern had higher BMI, weight, waist girth, waist-to-hip ratio and fat mass than those in the lower tertile. In contrast, subjects in the top tertile of the Prudent pattern had lower BMI, weight, waist girth, fat mass, HDL-cholesterol levels, and lower triglyceride levels than those in the lowest tertile. Individuals in the upper tertile of the Western pattern were more likely to be obese (obesity was defined as having a BMIX30 kg m À2 ) (OR ¼ 1.82, 95% CI 1.16-2.87) whereas those in the upper tertile of the Prudent pattern were less likely to be obese (OR ¼ 0.62, 95% CI 0.40-0.96). These latter significant associations were only observed among those with FHO þ . No such association was observed among FHOÀ individuals. Conclusion: Individuals having a high score of Western pattern were more likely to be obese and those having a high score of the Prudent pattern were less likely to be obese, and this is particularly among individuals with an FHO þ .

“…Slovenia is a country that has experienced enormous socio-political and economical changes in the last 20 years, which strongly influenced the lifestyles, nutritional habits of children and youth, and their physical development (38)(39)(40)(41) . Studies in the USA and Europe that tracked obesity from childhood to adulthood generally found that about onethird of overweight and obese children remained overweight and obese as adults (24,(42)(43)(44)(45)(46) . In our cohort study, the percentage of overweight and obese 7-year-olds who became overweight or obese 18-year-olds was considerably higher (over 65 % among males and below 50 % among females).…”

Objective: The objective was to examine the tracking of obesity from childhood to young adulthood in Slovenia. Subjects: A subsample included 4833 children from the Slovenian national sample (n 21 777) who were included in the SLOFIT monitoring system from 1997 to 2008, with complete data at 7 years and 18 years. Design: A 12-year prospective cohort study. Height, weight and triceps skinfold thickness (TSF) were measured at 7, 11, 14 and 18 years. The BMI cut-off points of the International Obesity Taskforce were used to identify excess weight and obesity. Results: Height, weight and BMI at 18 years were well predicted from childhood and became more predictable with age, while TSF was not. Obese and overweight children had the greatest risk of becoming obese or overweight young adults. The history of their weight shows that 40?0 % of males and 48?6 % of females who were obese at 18 years had already been obese at 7 years. Conclusions: Overweight or obese Slovenian children are more likely to become overweight or obese adolescents and young adults than reported in other similar European and American studies, which indicates the need for early prevention and treatment of excess weight and obesity.

“…Obese children often have obese parents. 20 It is possible that parental concerns and distress reflect their own poor experience as obese children or even as adults. Of note, while the moderately obese children's assessment of HRQOL in the emotional and school domains was similar to normal weight children, the parents' score was significantly lower, suggesting that parental perceptions were more severe.…”

Health-related quality of life among children and adolescents: associations with obesity

et al. 2005

Objective: To assess the impact of obesity on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of children, and to compare HRQOL scores of obese children in a hospital versus community setting. Design: A cross-sectional study in two clinical samples. Subjects: A total of 182 children and adolescents recruited from the community pediatric clinics and a hospital-based obesity clinic. Measurements: Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) 495th percentile for age and gender. Subjects were divided into quartiles of BMI Z-scores each containing 45 or 46 children. The first two quartiles correspond to normal BMI, 3rd and 4th quartiles represent moderate and severe obesity, respectively. HRQOL was assessed by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventoryt (PedsQLt) questionnaire submitted by both children and their parents. Results: Obese children reported significantly lower HRQOL in physical, social and school domains compared with normal weight children (Po0.01). Analyzing results of HRQOL by BMI quartiles showed that the emotional and school domains scores of the moderately obese children were similar to the normal BMI quartiles. Only in the 4th quartile, that of children with severe obesity, were scores significantly lower. In contrast, in both physical and social domains scores decreased progressively with increased BMI Z-scores. In the obese group, parents' scores were lower than the children's in all domains. HRQOL scores of obese children assessed in the hospital clinic were similar to that of obese children assessed in the community. Conclusions: Moderately obese children had similar emotional and school HRQOL scores as normal weight children, whereas in the physical domain, a significant difference was documented even in moderate obesity. Parents of obese children perceived their child's HRQOL lower than the children themselves. We believe that intervention programs aimed at improving HRQOL should be directed to both parents and children. Understanding the resilience of moderately obese children in school and emotional domains may assist us in the management of childhood obesity.
