“…This finding is important as early adolescence is a key period for the development of obesogenic behaviors (Birch et al, 2007; Munoz et al, 1997) and strategies for coping with stressful life events (Jaaskelainen et al, 2014). Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that violence exposure and obesity may be related, in part, through changes in health-risk behaviors in response to violent events (Boynton-Jarrett et al, 2010; Clark et al, 2014). …”

“…Results from large-scale cohort studies (Boynton-Jarrett et al, 2010) and meta-analyses (Danese and Tan, 2014; Hemmingsson et al, 2014) demonstrate a robust relationship between exposure to maltreatment, violence, and obesity risk during both childhood and adulthood (Bosch et al, 2015; Clark et al, 2014; Midei and Matthews, 2011). Prior research suggests both direct and indirect effects of exposure to childhood violence on obesity.…”

Objective To test whether exposure to violence is associated with same-day increases in obesogenic behaviors among young adolescents, including unhealthy food and beverage consumption, poor quality sleep, and lack of physical activity. Methods Young at-risk adolescents between 12 and 15 years of age were recruited via telephone screening from low-income neighborhoods. Adolescents and their parents completed in-person assessments, followed by Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) delivered to 151 adolescents’ mobile phones three times a day for 30 days (4329 person days). Three obesogenic behaviors – unhealthy food consumption, poor sleep quality, and lack of physical activity – and violence exposure were assessed daily. Adolescents’ body mass index (BMI) was assessed prior to the EMA and 18 months later. A replication was performed among 395 adolescents from a population-representative sample (with 5276 EMA person days). Results On days that at-risk adolescents were exposed versus not exposed to violence, they were more likely to consume unhealthy foods and beverages (b = 0.12, p = 0.01), report feeling tired the next morning (OR = 1.58, p < 0.01), and to be active (OR = 1.61, p < 0.01). At-risk adolescents who reported higher consumption of soda and caffeinated beverages during the 30-day EMA were more likely to experience increases in BMI in later adolescence. Findings related to sleep and activity were supported in the population-based replication sample; however, no significant same-day associations were found between violence exposure and unhealthy dietary consumption. Conclusions This study provides evidence that exposure to violence is associated with same-day unhealthy dietary consumption among at-risk adolescents and next-day tiredness related to sleep quality among adolescents from both at-risk and normative populations. Findings also point to unhealthy soda consumption during early adolescence as an important predictor of weight gain among at-risk adolescents.

“…The British Birth Cohort, one of the largest studies to follow the effects of child maltreatment on BMI into adulthood, followed 15 000 subjects. 51 Children were not found to have increased BMI initially, but through adolescence and adulthood, BMI increased compared with those who were not maltreated. Physical abuse was associated with an odds ratio 1.67 (95% confidence interval: 1.25-2.24) gain in BMI by age 50 years.…”

Ongoing Pediatric Health Care for the Child Who Has Been Maltreated

et al. 2019

Pediatricians provide continuous medical care and anticipatory guidance for children who have been reported to state child protection agencies, including tribal child protection agencies, because of suspected child maltreatment. Because families may continue their relationships with their pediatricians after these reports, these primary care providers are in a unique position to recognize and manage the physical, developmental, academic, and emotional consequences of maltreatment and exposure to childhood adversity. Substantial information is available to optimize follow-up medical care of maltreated children. This new clinical report will provide guidance to pediatricians about how they can best oversee and foster the optimal physical health, growth, and development of children who have been maltreated and remain in the care of their biological family or are returned to their care by Child Protective Services agencies. The report describes the pediatrician' s role in helping to strengthen families' and caregivers' capabilities and competencies and in promoting and maximizing high-quality services for their families in their community. Pediatricians should refer to other reports and policies from the American Academy of Pediatrics for more information about the emotional and behavioral consequences of child maltreatment and the treatment of these consequences. Pediatricians provide medical care and anticipatory guidance for children who have been maltreated. Because as many as 25% of the child population has experienced some form of maltreatment, medical encounters in a pediatric practice with maltreated children are not uncommon. 1-3 Although only a small proportion of children who have been maltreated are investigated by Child Protective Services (CPS), each year, state CPS agencies determine that approximately 700 000 children have been victims of child maltreatment. 4 Approximately 75% of these children are neglected, and about 17% are physically abused; many children suffer multiple forms of maltreatment. In the United States, an estimated 1700 children die each year as a result of abuse and neglect. Child maltreatment has many long-term health, developmental, and
