“…The confinement imposed to prevent the spread of the virus has made it more difficult to maintain a healthy diet and has reduced the practice of physical activity [ 25 ]. Addressing childhood obesity requires a broad strategy involving the patient, family, school, community, and even government for policy changes [ 26 ]. For long-term results, interventions are needed that help create an environment and opportunities that make it easier for children to make healthy choices about nutrition and physical activity [ 27 , 28 ].…”

Health promotion activities in secondary schools are scarce and have little involvement of the teaching staff. Most often, activities are developed from the curriculum that appears in school materials, with little capacity for adaptation and innovation. The aim of this study was to construct and validate a tool to find out teachers’ attitudes towards activities to promote healthy eating in secondary schools. For this purpose, a descriptive study was conducted. The total sample of the study consisted of 200 teachers from secondary schools. Internal consistency was determined by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient globally and by dimension, and with the corrected item–test correlation. The construct validity of the questionnaire was assessed by means of an exploratory factor analysis, for which the principal components method with Varimax rotation was used. A Likert-type scale with nine items and four response options about attitude was designed. The exploratory factor analysis showed a nine-factor solution, of which two had eigenvalues greater than 1. These two factors explained 63.4% of the variance. The Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency index obtained for the global scale was 0.81, and 0.75 and 0.85 for each component. The results obtained with this structure confirmed an adequate reliability and validity of the questionnaire.

Objective: Obesity is an important health problem with the potential to cause secondary diseases in children. In these patients, increased intra-abdominal and intra-vesical pressure leads to changes in voiding physiology. In addition, insulin and glucose metabolism disorders can also affect lower urinary system functions. However, the relationship between obesity and sleep disorders is also known. Materials and Methods: The questionnaire, which was prepared to determine voiding and sleep disorders, was applied to 100 obese pediatric patients aged between 9 and 18 and 100 normal weight healthy individuals in the similar age group. Results: Daytime urinary incontinence was present in 17% of the patient group and 2% of the control group. Nocturnal enuresis was present in 25% of the patient group and 2% of the control group. The frequency of overactive bladder was also higher in the patient group compared to the healthy controls (15% and 5%, respectively; p

“…It is an important public health problem that affects 25-30% of children worldwide. Only 1-2% of childhood obesity develops from underlying diseases and syndromes whereas the great majority has exogenous obesity [2,3]. Studies indicate that 50% of obese adolescents are also obese in adulthood, this situation is associated with increased morbidity and mortality [4].…”

Introduction: Obesity is an increasing health problem in the whole world, and it has an important inflammatory component related to the insulin resistance (IR), hypertension, atherosclerosis and some cancers. This study aims to evaluate the inflammatory hematological parameters in childhood obesity.Methods: Sixty-four obese and 50 normal weight cases were included in the study. The physical examination features and laboratory data of the patients were evaluated retrospectively from the patient’s files. Laboratory tests, hematological parameters, gender were compared between the groups. Correlations between Homeostasis model evaluation for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and other laboratory parameters in the obese group were examined.Results: The leukocyte, neutrophile, monocyte, lymphocyte, thrombocyte and MPV values of the obese group were found to be statistically higher than the control group (p: 0.006, p:0.015, p:0.014, p:0.001, p<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups for Neutrophile/Lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Monocyte/Lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and Platelet/Lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (p:0.642, p:0.989, 0.982). Also, there was no statistically significant correlation between Homa IR and age, BMI, Neutrophil, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Thrombocyte, Neutrophil/Lymphocyte, Monocyte/Lymphocyte and Thrombocyte/Lymphocyte values.Conclusion: The current study showed that there was no significant difference between obese and controls in terms of NLR, PLR, and MLR values. However, the leukocyte, neutrophile, monocyte, lymphocyte, thrombocyte and MPV values were statistically higher in obese group than controls. Nevertheless, these findings can point relation between obesity and inflammation.Keywords: obesity, children, inflammation, hematological parameters
