“…Because sleep habits and routines may persist from childhood into adulthood, it is important to focus on sleep routines in early childhood as a potentially effective obesity intervention strategy. As Haines et al (2013) demonstrated, interventions targeting child sleep duration can effectively influence positive and protective behavior change. Future studies should continue to focus on understanding how both child and adult sleep routines relate to obesity and health outcomes, and which mechanisms affect how and when sleep routines provide the most beneficial influence on obesity and health outcomes.…”

“…In contrast to the focus on risks and negative factors that increase prevalence of obesity (such as cumulative risk models), some researchers have focused on examining positive routines that act as protective factors to decrease prevalence of obesity (e.g., Anderson and Whitaker, 2010; Haines et al, 2013). These researchers have focused on the potential of promoting positive health-related behaviors and daily routines as positive mechanisms of change relating to obesity and health.…”

“…We hypothesized that parent PRs would be positively related to child PRs, and that individual and cumulative PRs would be related to decreased prevalence of obesity in parents and overweight in preschool children. To test these hypotheses, we examined how sociodemographic factors, as well as two specific parent PRs, were related to exposure to the four child PRs that were targeted by Haines et al (2013) (e.g., getting adequate sleep ≥10 h night; regular family dinnertimes; limiting screen-viewing time to 2 h per day or less; avoiding the placement of a TV in the child's bedroom). We then assessed how parent PRs were related to obesity prevalence in parents, and how child PRs were related to overweight prevalence in children.…”

Many daily routines and behaviors are related to the prevalence of obesity. This study investigated the association between routines and behaviors that act as protective factors related to lower prevalence of obesity in parents (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and overweight in preschool children (BMI ≥ 85th percentile). Socio-demographic characteristics were assessed in relation to protective routines (PRs), and prevalence of obesity/overweight data from 337 preschool children and their parents. The two PRs assessed with parents included adequate sleep (≥7 h/night) and family mealtime routine (scoring higher than the median score). The four PRs assessed in children included adequate sleep (≥10 h/night), family mealtime routine, limiting screen-viewing time (≤2 h/day of TV, video, DVD), and not having a bedroom TV. Overall, 27.9% of parents were obese and 22.8% of children were overweight, and 39.8% of the parents had both parent PRs, and only 11.6% of children had all four child PRs. Results demonstrated that several demographic factors were significantly related to the use of PRs for parents and children. The lack of PRs was related to increased risk for overweight in children, but not for obesity in parents. However, in the adjusted models the overall cumulative benefits of using PRs was not significant in children either. In the multivariate adjusted logistic regression models, the only significant individual PR for children was adequate sleep. In a path analysis model, parent sleep was related to child sleep, which was in turn related to decreased obesity. Overall, findings suggest that parent and child PRs, especially sleep routines, within a family can be associated and may play an important role in the health outcomes of both parents and children. Understanding the mechanisms that influence how and when parents and children use these PRs may be promising for developing targeted family-based obesity-prevention efforts.

Disordered Eating Attitudes and Behaviors in Youth with Overweight and Obesity: Implications for Treatment

et al. 2018

Purpose of the Review: Children with obesity experience disordered eating attitudes and behaviors at high rates, which increases their risk for adult obesity and eating disorder development. As such, it is imperative to screen for disordered eating symptoms and identify appropriate treatments. Recent findings: Family-based multicomponent behavioral weight loss treatment (FBT) is effective at treating childhood obesity and demonstrates positive outcomes on psychosocial outcomes, including disordered eating. FBT utilizes a socio-ecological treatment approach that focuses on the development of individual and family healthy energy balance behaviors as well as positive self- and body-esteem, supportive family relationships, richer social networks, and the creation of a broader environment and community that facilitates overall physical and mental health. Summary: Existing literature suggests FBT is an effective treatment option for disordered eating and obesity in children. Future work is needed to confirm this conclusion and to examine the progression and interaction of obesity and disordered eating across development to understand the time for optimal intervention.
