“…Recent research on disparities in the use of feeding practices has addressed parental control over feeding, the types of food made available at home, and parental modelling of healthy food choices among young children (65,97,126,130,149) as well as older children and adolescents (Table 2) (52,113,118,(127)(128)(129)(130)150) . This research evidence is based on eight cross-sectional analyses (52,65,118,(126)(127)(128)(129)(130) and one longitudinal analysis (97) ; five studies represented local/regional populations (52,97,118,128,129) and four studies involved a convenience sample (65,126,127,130) (Table 2).…”

To inform programmes and policies that promote health equity, it is essential to monitor the distribution of nutritional problems among young individuals. Common nutritional problems include overall low diet quality, the underconsumption and overconsumption of certain dietary components, unhealthy meal and snack patterns, problematic feeding practices and disordered eating. The objective of the present narrative review was to summarise recent evidence of disparities among US children (2–19 years) according to age, sex, socio-economic status, ethnicity/race and rural–urban location. Searches in PubMed® and MEDLINE® were completed to identify peer-reviewed research studies published between January 2009 and January 2019. Findings from the ninety-nine reviewed studies indicate adolescent females, young individuals from lower socio-economic households and individuals who identify as non-Hispanic Black race are particularly vulnerable populations for whom targeted strategies should be developed to address evidence of increased risk with regards to multiple aspects of nutritional wellbeing. Limitations of the existing evidence relate to the accuracy of self-reported dietary data; the need for consistent definitions of disordered eating; the focus on individual dietary components v. patterns; the complexities of categorising socio-economic status, ethnicity/race, and rural and urban areas; and the cross-sectional, observational nature of most research designs. There is an urgent need for research to address these limitations and fill a large gap in evidence on rural–urban differences in nutritional problems. It will further be important for future studies to build greater understanding of how nutritional problems cluster among population groups.

“…While some areas report declines in paediatric obesity rates, there remains a clear disparity between ethnic groups, with Hispanic/Latino youth being among the highest in rates of childhood obesity (3)(4)(5), especially if they are from lower socioeconomic areas (2,6). Risk for childhood obesity is complex and influenced by a variety of known factors including but not limited to infant feeding practices, socioeconomic status, parent-child relationships, culture and language, food security status, and parental body weight (7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”

SummaryObjectiveACT! (Actively Changing Together) is a family‐ and community‐based intervention targeting youth with obesity. The objective of this study was to establish the longitudinal impact on Health‐Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as well as the relationship with anthropometric and demographic factors.MethodsYouth (n = 75) aged 8–14 years meeting criteria for overweight or obesity were referred to the programme. Twelve, 90‐min classes in English and Spanish were held at the YMCA. Demographics and anthropometrics were assessed, as well as HRQoL that was measured with the child‐reported Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™) 4.0 Generic Core Scale. Data was collected at three follow‐up points after completion of the intervention: initial follow‐up (n = 65), 6 (n = 41) and 12 months (n = 25). Analysis included paired dependent t‐tests between baseline and follow‐up, and Pearson's correlations on HRQoL, anthropometric and demographic data.ResultsPedsQL scores significantly improved from baseline to all follow‐up timepoints (initial follow‐up immediately following the intervention, and 6 and 12 months post intervention). Over time, body mass index Z‐Score and per cent body fat displayed various points of significance and strengthening correlations.ConclusionsLongitudinal improvements in HRQoL were sustained up to 12 months following a family‐ and community‐based intervention in this underserved population. Anthropometric measures continuously correlated with and contributed to HRQoL outcomes.

“…According to the CDC, overweight is defined as BMI ≥85th and <95th percentile, while obesity is BMI of ≥95th percentile for children <18 years of the same age and sex 35. These two classifications have previously been compared by Gaffney et al , who found that 1 SD unit above the median of the WHO growth curve population approximates the 85th percentile 36. BMI does not measure body fat.…”

Complementary feeding practices and the associated risk of childhood obesity among ethnic minority groups living in high-income countries: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionComplementary feeding (CF) is defined as the period from when exclusive breast milk and formula are no longer sufficient for meeting the infant’s nutritional needs. The CF period occurs from birth to 23 months of age. Though the recommended guidelines for introducing CF is from around 6 months of age, data indicates that some infants are introduced to food earlier than 6 months which can predispose children to obesity and overweight. Obesity in ethnic minority groups (EMG) is higher than their native counterparts and often tracks into adulthood. Hence, our aim was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the available literature to identify the risk of childhood overweight/obesity associated with CF practices concerning their timing, as well as the frequency and type of CF food introduced. We focused specifically on EMG children living in high-income countries.Methods and analysisA methodological literature search surrounding childhood obesity and overweight (COO) risk associated with CF practices will be conducted in May 2021 following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols guidelines. The following academic databases will be methodologically searched: PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library and the WHO Global Index Medicus. Three independent researchers will be involved in independent screening and review the included articles based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Where conflicts arise during the screening process, it will be resolved through discourse until a consensus is reached. Information on CF practices and anthropometric measurements will be extracted to ascertain the risk of COO. For this study, WHO body mass index for age and sex percentiles, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classification and other recognised country-specific classifications will be utilised for the outcome.Ethics and disseminationFormal ethical approval is not needed as the results will be drawn from currently available published literature. Outcomes of the review will be shared through peer-reviewed publications.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021246029.

Early Feeding Practices and Weight Status at One Year of Age: A Comparison of Hispanic Immigrant Mother–Infant Dyads with Participants of the Infant Feeding Practices Study II

Abstract: Differences in PBHS and IFPS II feeding practices and weight status suggest additional studies of modifiable, early life risk factors are needed to inform clinical and public health interventions that reduce childhood obesity for this growing sector of the US population.
