“…[29][30][31][32][33][34][35] In addition, skipping breakfast has been associated with poor nutritional status, increased body adiposity and risk of chronic diseases. 2,36,37 The results are in agreement with earlier researchers [38][39][40] who reported that adolescents from affluent families had better quality breakfast than those belonging to the lower socioeconomic group and that skipping breakfast unhealthy dietary practices were more prevalent among adolescent girls.…”

A comparative study was undertaken to assess the nutritional status, dietary practices and physical activities of school going adolescents in public and private schools (PPSs) of Karachi, Pakistan. A sample of 101 boys and 100 girls from PPSs was randomly selected for their weight, height, waist and hip circumferences, percent body fat and lean body mass measurements. Adolescent boys and girls were interviewed for their dietary practices, socio-economic status, frequency and type of physical activities and their responses were recorded. Results by gender and school type revealed that both the boys and girls of private schools had a significantly lower mean age but significantly higher mean height-for-age Z-score, waist and hip circumferences than the public school adolescents. Food frequency results revealed that the frequency and patterns of breakfast, break-time snack, lunch and dinner of private school going adolescents were more diverse and nutritiously rich. Skipping breakfast was more common among adolescents being higher in girls than boys. Parents of adolescents belonging to private schools had a higher education and socio-economic status. Private school adolescents were physically more active (p<0.05) in terms of frequency and type of physical activities. The study concludes that the adolescents of private schools had a better nutritional status, consumed food and beverages of better quality and were physically more active. However, boys and girls of both the public and private schools failed to meet the national and international dietary guidelines of recommended food servings.

“…Usually, childhood is the key step for adopting and consolidating eating habits. This group has been one of the groups most widely influenced by food globalization [ 18 ] given the transformation of the current food model with a wider range of industrial food, salty snacks, more soft drinks, skipping breakfast, not eating plenty of fruit, vegetables, grains and drinking milk, and abandoning traditional cuisine [ 14 , 18 , 24 ]. Thus their nutritionally inadequate diet makes them more vulnerable [ 25 ].…”

The aim of our study was to assess nutritional intake and anthropometric statuses in schoolchildren to subsequently determine nutritional adequacy with Spanish Dietary Reference Intake (DRIs). The ANIVA study, a descriptive cross-sectional study, was conducted in 710 schoolchildren (6–9 years) in 2013–2014 in Valencia (Spain). Children’s dietary intake was measured using 3-day food records, completed by parents. Anthropometric measures (weight and height) were measured according to international standards, and BMI-for-age was calculated and converted into z-scores by WHO-Anthro for age and sex. Nutrient adequacy was assessed using DRI based on estimated average requirement (EAR) or adequate intake (AI). Pearson’s chi-square and Student’s t-test were employed. Of our study group (47.61% boys, 52.39% girls), 53.1% were normoweight and the weight of 46.9% was inadequate; of these, 38.6% had excess body weight (19.6% overweight and 19.0% obesity). We found intakes were lower for biotin, fiber, fluoride, vitamin D (p < 0.016), zinc, iodine, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium and iron (p < 0.017), and higher for lipids, proteins and cholesterol. Our results identify better nutritional adequacy to Spanish recommendations in overweight children. Our findings suggest that nutritional intervention and educational strategies are needed to promote healthy eating in these children and nutritional adequacies.

“…This agrees with several other studies that have reported an inverse relationship between SES and overweight, whereby the lower the SES, the higher the prevalence of overweight [ 6 , 8 , 11 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. One explanation for this finding may be the influence SES exerts on the purchase and/or consumption of certain food products [ 12 , 13 , 44 ], for example, the high price of healthy products [ 43 , 45 ], the availability of grocery stores in certain neighborhoods offering a variety of products [ 43 ], or the possibility of eating homemade food [ 46 ]. However, other indicators such as parental educational level can also influence weight status by facilitating or restricting recommended information on this subject [ 44 , 46 ].…”

Socioeconomic status (SES) influences all the determinants of health, conditioning health throughout life. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between socioeconomic status and obesity in adolescence through an analysis of the patterns of contact between peers as a function of this parameter. A cross-sectional study was performed, analyzing a sample of 235 students aged 14 to 18 and 11 class networks. Social network analysis was used to analyze structural variables of centrality from a sociocentric perspective. We found that adolescents with a medium-low SES presented a two-fold higher probability of being overweight, but we did not detect any differences in the configuration of their social networks when compared with those of normal-weight adolescents. However, we did find significant differences in the formation of networks according to SES in the overall sample and disaggregated by gender, whereby adolescents with a high SES in general presented a higher capacity to form wider social networks. Elucidating the relationship between SES and overweight and its influence on social network formation can contribute to the design of preventative strategies against overweight and obesity in adolescents, since their social environment can provide them with several resources to combat excess weight.
