“…However, of children with upper airway infection, asthma or bronchiolitis, those who were overweight (85-94th percentiles) had lower admission and readmission rates. 17 Moreover, developmental disorders were significantly more severe in obese compared with overweight children. 18 Unlike our previous work, 9 the present study divided subjects into four groups, with special focus on those classified as overweight.…”

“…In the period from 1988 to 1991, the prevalence of child obesity was estimated to be 10.9%. 2,3 Data (20032,3 Data ( -2006) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were 12.4% for ages 2-5 years; 17.0% for ages 6-11; 17.6% for ages [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Earlier onset and greater severity of pediatric obesity have been associated with a higher severity of adult obesity and an increased rate of complications.…”

The relationship between overweight and otitis media with effusion in children

et al. 2010

Objective: To assess the relationship between pediatric otitis media with effusion (OME) and body mass index (BMI). Methods: We assessed 140 children aged 2-7 years who underwent unilateral or bilateral ventilation tube insertion for treatment of OME (experimental group) and 190 children with no history of OME who underwent operations for conditions other than ear diseases during the same period. Each group was divided into four subgroups based on BMI by age and gender: underweight (BMI below normal limits; BMIp5th percentile), normal (BMI within normal limits; 5thoBMIo85th percentile), overweight (BMI over normal limits; 85thpBMIo95th percentile) and obese ( BMIX95th percentile). We explored differences in BMI, and serum triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC), between the experimental and control group, in comparison with values from those of standard body weight. Results: The prevalence of obesity was significantly higher in the experimental than in the control group (Po0.05). BMI, TG and TC did not, however, differ significantly between groups, according to standard body weight. Conclusion: Pediatric obesity may have an effect on the development of OME, but pediatric overweight may be not associated with occurrence of OME.

“…These conclusions are due to the use standardized tests, measuring development coefficients [44][45][46][47][48] , while others studies that question this association are based on the age of acquisition of some gross motor skills, related to the acquisition of independent gait [49][50][51] .…”

Childhood obesity is the main nutritional and public health problem in Chile, being the principal causes, the increase in energy dense foods and the decline of physical activity. Interventions to prevent obesity at infancy are focused mainly in improving quality and quantity of dietary intake, without taking into account physical activity, which is expressed under two years of age, mainly by motor development. Some studies have proven that motor development at early age, may influence the ability to perform physical activity. Thus, infants scoring a lower motor development may have a greater risk of becoming obese. It isn't know if childhood obesity causes lower motor development (given that children may have greater difficulty to move), or on the contrary, it is the lower ability to move, which increases the obesity risk. The objective of this manuscriptis analize the evidence regards the relation between breastfeeding, motor development and obesity in the childhood.To be able to understand this asocation and casual mecanism, it is important to develop stategys focused in early infancy to promote breastfeeding, healthy eating and early stimulation, starting in pediatric office. 452ClINICal OveRvIew Breastfeeding, gross motor development and obesity -G. weisstaub N et al

“…3 Also, the prevalence of obesity in that age range seems to be influenced by a variety of psychosocial, behavioral, and genetic factors. [4][5][6] As the authors point out, some extremely obese toddlers may experience certain co-morbidities, 7 even at this young age. However, in the referenced study, infants in the 85th to 94th percentile for weight actually had less frequent hospital admissions, as well as lower rates of asthma, bronchiolitis, and otitis media than their normal weight counterparts.…”

Morbidity of Overweight (≥85th Percentile) in the First 2 Years of Life

Abstract: The high admission rates for infants of >or=95th percentile and the high incidence rates of respiratory morbidity, snoring, and delayed gross motor skills in overweight infants support our hypothesis regarding early morbidity associated with overweight.
