“…Appalachian children have been found to have a higher overweight prevalence than the rest of the nation (Demerath et al, 2003). A study done in Athens, Ohio, found 46.2% of children were classified according to BMI criteria as overweight or obese (Tulkki et al, 2006). Half of the children found to be overweight while another 45% had body fat levels ranging from moderately high to very high (Tulkki et al, 2006).…”

“…The area is made up of parts of 12 states and all of West Virginia, with almost half of the area being rural (Smith & Grant, 2008). Some studies also support that its rates of food insecurity, overweight and obesity, diabetes, and chronic disease are above those of the rest of the nation (Crooks, 1999;Demerath et al, 2003;Denham, Meyer, Toborg, & Mande, 2004;Holben, McClincy, Holcomb, Dean, & Walker, 2004;Holben & Pheley, 2006;Pheley, Holben, Graham, & Simpson, 2002;Rappaport & Robbins, 2005;Tulkki et al, 2006;Walker, Holben, Kropf, Holcomb, & Anderson, 2007;Wewers, Katz, Fickle, & Paskett, 2006). More specifically, and in relation to poverty and food access, food insecurity has been found to be a concern to Appalachian residents (Holben, Barnett, & Holcomb, 2006;Holben & Pheley, 2006;Hutson, Dorgan, Phillips, & Behringer, 2007;Kendall, Olson, & Frongillo, 1996;Kropf et al, 2007;Pheley et al, 2002;Tessaro, Mangone, Parkar, & Pawar, 2006;Walker et al, 2007;Wewers et al, 2006).…”

This study: (a) measured the effect of a nutrition and gardening education program on Appalachian children's fruit and vegetable intakes and preferences; and (b) examined the relationship of food security status to gardening habits and perceptions, produce intake, and personal characteristics of children and their adult female caregivers.In this study, participants were: (a) 91 children who completed a pre-test, nutrition education and gardening program (intervention), and a post-test over a six-week period;

“…Children living in rural communities, such as rural Appalachia, have a heightened risk for poor health outcomes related to overweight because they are more likely to be of low socioeconomic status (SES) and to have little education, and they have fewer means of obtaining adequate health care 4,5 . In a study conducted in West Virginia in 1998 to 1999, 46% of upper elementary students from 3 rural counties were classified as at risk of overweight or actually overweight, 6 , and similarly, a study in Athens County, Ohio, found that 46% of children attending a summer campus program were either overweight or at risk of overweight 7 . Overweight children, like overweight adults, often display signs of several comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, formerly considered almost exclusively a disease of adults, and cardiovascular diseases 8…”

BACKGROUND Children in Appalachia are experiencing high levels of obesity, in large measure because of inferior diets. This study screened the dietary intake of third-graders residing in three rural Appalachian counties in Ohio and determined whether the Food, Math, and Science Teaching Enhancement Resource Initiative (FoodMASTER) curriculum improved their dietary intake. METHODS Dietary intake was measured for 238 third-graders at the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year and for 224 third-graders at the end of that year. The FoodMASTER curriculum was delivered to 204 students (test group). Intake was measured using the Block Food Frequency Questionnaire 2004. The final analysis included 138 students. RESUTS The FoodMASTER curriculum did not significantly affect the diets of the students in the test group, as no significant differences in intake of macronutrients, specific nutrients, or food groups were found between the test and control groups. Majorities of students did not meet the Recommended Dietary Allowance or Adequate Intakes for fiber, calcium, iron, vitamin A, and vitamin E. The students as a whole did not meet the MyPyramid recommendations for any food group, and nearly one-fifth of their calories came from sweets. Significant differences in percentages of kilocalories from protein and sweets and in servings of fats, oils, and sweets were seen between groups of higher and lower socioeconomic status. CONCLUSIONS Energy-dense foods are replacing healthy foods in the diets of Ohio children living in rural Appalachia. The prevalence of poor dietary intake in Appalachia warrants further nutrition interventions involving programming for nutrition, such as future FoodMASTER curricula.
