BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The effects of lifestyle interventions on cardio-metabolic outcomes in overweight children have not been reviewed systematically. The objective of the study was to examine the impact of lifestyle interventions incorporating a dietary component on both weight change and cardio-metabolic risks in overweight/obese children.METHODS: English-language articles from 1975 to 2010, available from 7 databases, were used as data sources. Two independent reviewers assessed articles against the following eligibility criteria: randomized controlled trial, participants overweight/obese and #18 years, comparing lifestyle interventions to no treatment/wait-list control, usual care, or written education materials. Study quality was critically appraised by 2 reviewers using established criteria; Review Manager 5.1 was used for meta-analyses. RESULTS:

“…FBT has been tested in 10 separate studies in children (ages 6-12), with nine of these studies finding evidence supporting the use of FBT over treatment of the child alone (Brownell, Kelman, & Stunkard, 1983;Epstein, Valoski, Wing, & McCurley, 1990), control conditions (Epstein et al, 1990;Graves, Meyers, & Clark, 1988;Israel, Stolmaker, & Andrian, 1985;Kirschenbaum, Harris, & Tomarken, 1984;Sacher et al, 2010;Savoye et al, 2007), and routine counseling (Kalavainen, Korppi, & Nuutinen, 2007). The addition of specific parent training on general child management skills (Israel et al, 1985), and parent problem-solving training (Graves et al, 1988) improved outcomes, suggesting these may be important additive components of treatment.…”

Childhood obesity is associated with increased medical and psychosocial consequences and mortality and effective interventions are urgently needed. Effective interventions are urgently needed. This article reviews the evidence for psychological treatments of overweight and obesity in child and adolescent populations. Studies were identified through searches of online databases and reference sections of relevant review articles and metaanalyses. Treatment efficacy was assessed using established criteria, and treatments were categorized as well-established, probably efficacious, possibly efficacious, experimental, or of questionable efficacy. Well-established treatments included family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) and Parent-Only Behavioral Treatment for children. Possibly efficacious treatments include Parent-Only Behavioral Treatment for adolescents, FBT-Guided SelfHelp for children, and Behavioral Weight Loss treatment with family involvement for toddlers, children, and adolescents. Appetite awareness training and regulation of cues treatments are considered experimental. No treatments are considered probably efficacious, or of questionable efficacy. All treatments considered efficacious are multicomponent interventions that include dietary and physical activity modifications and utilize behavioral strategies. Treatment is optimized if family members are specifically targeted in treatment. Research supports the use of multicomponent lifestyle interventions, with FBT and Parent-Only Behavioral Treatment being the most widely supported treatment types. Additional research is needed to test a stepped care model for treatment and to establish the ideal dosage (i.e., number and length of sessions), duration, and intensity of treatments for long-term sustainability of healthy weight management. To improve access to care, the optimal methods to enhance the scalability and implementability of treatments into community and clinical settings need to be established.

“…Parental support and use of social reinforcers are important for the well-being of children, and this has lead to the active involvement of parents in the therapy. [26][27][28] A disadvantage of studying multicomponent treatment programs in childhood obesity is that we do not know what the working ingredients are. So, we cannot know if it is the child, the parents or both that are the primary focus for change.…”

OBJECTIVE:The presentation will successively deal with the psychological models to explain for the onset or maintenance of child obesity. DESIGN: Five psychological perspectives on childhood obesity are selected. The boundary model of Herman and Polivy (1980) was brought forward as an explanation model for understanding the overeating behaviour in obese people. Others describe obese children as over-responsive to external cues and this over-responsiveness is seen as a personality trait. Learning theories put forward how (dysfunctional) learning mechanisms can explain also why obese people eat in front of food cues, without feeling hungry. Finally, obesity can be seen as an expression of a family pathology or an emotional problem. CONCLUSIONS: Psychological explanation models are still subject of discussion. Personality variables, eating behaviour, restraint attitudes, psychopathlogy and emotional factors, learning mechanisms as well as the role of the family are to be considered in an assessment process. It may help to better empathize with both parent and child. Furthermore, it can help to tailor the treatment program to the individual needs of an obese child. Further research is needed to find out whether already during the intake psychological indicators can be found that are predictors of negative therapy outcome.
