“…Overweight was defined by ageand gender-specific 90th percentile cut-offs of BMI taken from a representative sample of German pre-school children (49) . Waist circumference was measured directly on the skin half-way between the top of the iliac crest and the lower rib (50) with an accuracy of 0?5 cm using a non-elastic measuring tape (Seca Messband 201; Seca Deutschland) with waist-to-height-ratio (WTHR) calculated as a measure of central body fat (51)(52)(53) . Total body fat was determined by at least two averaged measurements at the triceps, biceps, subscapular, vertical hip and calf skinfolds using Lange Skin Fold Calipers (Beta Technology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA).…”

Objective: To assess the short-term impact of a nutritional intervention aimed at reducing childhood overweight in German pre-school children. Design: Using a cluster-randomized study design with waiting-list controls, we tested a 6-month intervention administered once weekly by a nutrition expert consisting of joint meal preparation and activities for children and parents such as tasting and preparing nutritious, fresh foods. At baseline, 6 and 12 months, a parent-completed questionnaire assessed fruit and vegetable intakes (primary outcomes) and water and sugared drinks consumption (secondary outcomes). Direct measurement assessed BMI, skinfold thickness and waist-to-height-ratio. An intention-to-treat analysis used random-effects panel regression models to assess the intervention effect, adjusted for each child's age, gender, immigrant background and maternal education. Setting: Eighteen pre-schools from three south German regions. Subjects: Healthy children aged 3-6 years. Results: Three hundred and seventy-seven (80 %) eligible pre-school children participated in the study. Of these, 348 provided sufficient data for analysis. The sample mean age was 4?26 (SD 0?78) years; the majority (53?2 %) were boys. Children's fruit and vegetable intakes increased significantly (P , 0?001 and P , 0?05, respectively); no significant changes in the consumption of water, sugared drinks or anthropometric measurements were noted. Conclusions: Nutritional interventions in pre-schools have the potential to change eating behaviours in young children, which in the long term might reduce risk for developing overweight.

Overweight and obesity are an increasing problem: worldwide, for Germany and for children and adolescents. Until now there have been no representative and age-specific assessments of the prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents in Germany. Thus, the standardised height and weight measurements gathered in the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS) have, for the first time, provided national, representative data about overweight and obesity in young people. The terms 'overweight' and 'obese' are defined based on percentiles of the body mass index (BMI) of the Kromeyer-Hauschild reference system. Of children and adolescents between the ages of 3 and 17, 15% exceed the 90th BMI percentile of the reference data and are thus overweight, 6.3% exceed the 97th BMI percentile and thus suffer from obesity by this definition. The proportion of overweight rises from 9% of 3-6-year-olds to 15% of 7-10-year-olds and 17% of 14-17-year-olds. The prevalence of obesity is 2.9%, 6.4% and 8.5% for the same age groups respectively. No clear differences between boys and girls or between East and West Germany are detected. Children are at a higher risk of being overweight or obese if they have a lower socioeconomic status, have a migration background, or have mothers who are also overweight.

Background: Treatment outcome depends largely on treatment adherence (TA). However, studies analyzing TA in chronic endocrine diseases are scarce and controversial in childhood. Patients and Methods: We studied TA in 103 children treated subcutaneously with growth hormone (GH) and 97 children treated orally with thyroxin. TA was calculated based on the prescription refill rates. The number of GH injections was recorded by an autoinjector device in 23 children treated with GH. Results: The correlation between recorded TA and calculated TA based on prescription refill rates was very good (p < 0.001, r = 0.83). TA was lower (p < 0.01) in pubertal children compared to prepubertal children and in children self-administering their medication compared to those whose drug was administered by their parents, both in GH- and thyroxin-treated children. Overall, 67% of the pubertal children treated with GH and 58% of the pubertal children treated with thyroxin missed at least 1 dose per week. TA was higher (p < 0.001) in children with thyroxin treatment compared to children treated with recombinant human GH (8 vs. 26% missed >3 doses/week). Discussion: Puberty and self-administration of drugs were negative predictors of TA. Therefore, in puberty, prevention and treatment efforts should be undertaken to improve TA, especially when adolescents administer their drugs themselves.
