background: Sobal and Stunkard's review (1989) of 34 studies from developed countries published after 1941, found inconsistent relationships between socioeconomic status (SES) and childhood adiposity. Inverse associations (36%), no associations (38%), and positive associations (26%) were found in similar proportions. In view of the trends in pediatric obesity, the relationship between SES and adiposity may have changed. objective: To describe the cross-sectional association between SES and adiposity in school-age children from western developed countries in epidemiological studies since 1989. Methods and Procedures: PubMed database was searched to identify potentially relevant publications. Epidemiological studies from western developed countries presenting cross-sectional data on the bivariate association between an SES indicator and objectively measured adiposity in childhood (5-18 years), carried out after 1989 were included. SES indicators included parental education, parental occupation, family income, composite SES, and neighborhood SES. Results: Forty-five studies satisfied the review criteria. SES was inversely associated with adiposity in 19 studies (42%), there was no association in 12 studies (27%), and in 14 studies (31%) there was a mixture of no associations and inverse associations across subgroups. No positive SES-adiposity associations were seen in unadjusted analyses. With parental education as the SES indicator, inverse associations with adiposity were found in 15 of 20 studies (75%). Discussion: Research carried out within the past 15 years finds that associations between SES and adiposity in children are predominately inverse, and positive associations have all but disappeared. Research is needed to understand the mechanisms through which parental social class influences childhood adiposity.

“…Mutual connection between health variables, anthropometric measurements and nutrition patterns has been reported in many studies [1,10,14,16]. Although the relations between constitutional peculiarities and nutrition are well known, there are no universally recognized anthropometric methods for comparing the amount of food consumed by subjects with the peculiarities of their body build.…”

The study is focused on creating an anthropometric model that would enable to associate the body build peculiarities with nutritional variables. Thirty-six body measurements and 12 skinfolds were measured on 131 17-23-year-old female students of the University of Tartu, and 12 body composition characteristics were calculated. The subjects had to submit descriptions of their 24-hour menus. Nutrient intake was determined using the Micro-Nutrica software and the food composition database; the energy (in kcal) and main nutrients (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) content in the subjects' 24-hour menus were calculated. All body measurements were compared with nutritional variables, and 29 anthropometric variables were found that showed statistically significant correlations with at least one nutrient characteristic. The amount of food consumed correlated positively with body density and negatively with weight, circumferences, skinfolds and all indicators of body fat content (r reached 0.32). To associate body size, shape and composition with the amount of food consumed, a 5 SD height and weight classification was used, which consisted of three classes of concordance between height and weight (small, medium, large) and two classes of disconcordance -pyknomorphs and leptomorphs. All the 29 body measurements and nutrient were distributed systematically between the different classes. The pyknomorphous class with its greater body fat content and smaller density contrasted clearly with the class of leptomorphs. Food consumption in total as well as per 1 kg of body weight was smaller in pyknics 1 Originally published as "Using a height-weight classification for analysis of food energy and main nutrient contents in 24-hour menus of 17-23-year-old Estonian female students" in Anthropologischer Anzeiger 2007, 1, 51-59.202 | J. Peterson, H. Kaarma, S. Koskel than in leptosomes. Protein consumption did not reveal statistically significant differences. One should not overestimate the significance of BMI in nutritional studies. BMI characterises only obesity and cannot replace the characterisation of different body types. In our study, BMI of the small and the leptosomic class was almost equal, although these body types differ greatly from each other.

“…En los estudios revisados se encuentran diferentes metodologías para determinar la prevalencia de trastornos alimentarios, unos basan su información en los datos aportados exclusivamente por los test y medidas de autoinforme (Cañáis et al, 1996;Toro eí al., 1989;Buddeberg-Fischer et al, 1996;Villena et ai, 1999) (Toledo et al, 1999), mientras que otros utilizan estas medidas para la detección de sujetos en riesgo y posteriormente evalúan individualmente a los sujetos detectados mediante una entrevista personal, siguiendo los criterios diagnósticos internacionales de trastornos de la alimentación, DSM III-R, DSM IV o CÍE 10 (Cotrufo et al, 1998).…”

Los objetivos de este estudio fueron determinar la prevalencia de comportamientos alimentarios anómalos en una muestra de adolescentes de 14 a 18 años, de centros de enseñanza secundaria ubicados en el área de salud n° 9 de Valencia y analizar la relación de dichos comportamientos con variables antropométricas, con la autoimagen corporal y con dietas. Se utilizó el Test de Actitudes Alimentarias (EAT) de Gamer y Garfinkel, el Body Shape Questionnaire de Cooper. Los sujetos fueron pesados y tallados hallándose el índice de Quetelet, se recogió información sobre dietas, auto-valoración del volumen corporal y deseo de mantener su peso, disminuirlo o aumentarlo. La prevalencia de riesgo de sufrir un trastorno de la alimentación, fue del 19, 8% en las mujeres (n=197) y del 1, 76% en los hombres (n=170). Puntuaron significativamente más alto en el EAT, las mujeres de 16 años, los sujetos que desearon estar más delgados, las mujeres que se auto-valoraron con sobrepeso u obesidad, las que realizaron dieta durante el último año y conocían familiares y/o amigos haciéndola. La distorsión de la imagen corporal fue significativamente superior en las mujeres con sobrepeso objetivo, las que se auto-valoraban con problemas de peso, las que deseaban estar más delgadas y las que hacían dieta.Palabras clave: Anorexia y bulimia nerviosas, trastornos de la alimentación, prevalencia, imagen corporal. Abnormal eating attitude and its relationship with body image in an urban sample of adolescents from ValenciaThe aims of the present research were to asses the prevalence of abnormal eating attitudes in a sample of adolescents, aged 14-18, who attend secondary school in the 9"' wealth área of Valencia, and analyse the relationship between such attitudes and anthropometric measurements, body self-image and diets. The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) by Garner and Garfinkel, and the Body Shape Questionnaire by Cooper were used. The adolescents' weigh and eight were measured and the Quetelet Index was calculated. Information about diets, body shape self-evaluation and wish for changing weight was collected. Prevalence of risky eating attitudes, was 19.8% for the girls (n=197) and 1.76% for the boys (n=170). The EAT scores were significantly higher for girls aged 16, the subjects who wished a body shape reduction, women who self-evaluated with overweight and obesity, girls who were on a diet during the last year and women that knew fiends and relatives going on it. The distortion of body shape was significantly higher for woman with objective overweight, women self-evaluated with overweight and obesity, women who wished a body shape reduction and women who were on a diet.
