“…These programmes led to a 5 to 20 per cent reduction in weight after treatment, and at ten‐year follow‐up 30 per cent of cases were no longer obese. These results are consistent with those of other narrative reviews (Epstein, 2003; Young et al , 2007; Zametkin et al , 2004). Childhood obesity is due predominantly to lifestyle factors including poor diet and lack of exercise, and so family‐based behavioural treatment programmes focus on lifestyle change.…”

This review updates a similar paper published in the Journal of Family Therapy in 2001. It presents evidence from meta‐analyses, systematic literature reviews and controlled trials for the effectiveness of systemic interventions for families of children and adolescents with various difficulties. In this context, systemic interventions include both family therapy and other family‐based approaches such as parent training. The evidence supports the effectiveness of systemic interventions either alone or as part of multimodal programmes for sleep, feeding and attachment problems in infancy; child abuse and neglect; conduct problems (including childhood behavioural difficulties, ADHD, delinquency and drug abuse); emotional problems (including anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar disorder and suicidality); eating disorders (including anorexia, bulimia and obesity); and somatic problems (including enuresis, encopresis, recurrent abdominal pain, and poorly controlled asthma and diabetes).

“…Some studies have reported that people use eating mechanism as a bodily defensive mechanism against mental problems [44]. Also, lack of self-confidence, depression and anxiety may result in the emergence of the unhealthy condition in lifestyle and subsequently can alter the pattern of NCDs either directly or indirectly [45]. …”

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Prehypertension and Hypertension in Iranian Population: The Lifestyle Promotion Project (LPP)

et al. 2016

BackgroundThis population-based study aimed at investigating the prevalence and associated factors of prehypertension/hypertension in Iran.Methods and FindingsThe data (n = 2818) for this study were collected in 2015 as a part of the major Lifestyle Promotion Project (LPP) conducted in East Azerbaijan (urban and regional parts). The data for socio-demographic status, dietary information, and physical activity and anxiety levels were collected through validated questionnaires. Then, physical examination including systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP), body mass index (BMI) and conicity index was performed. First-morning spot urine (SU) sample was collected to assume salt intake. The One-way ANOVA, logistic regression, chi-square test and independent t-test were used for statistical analysis. The prevalence of prehypertension, stage I and stage II hypertension, and overall hypertension was 47.3%, 13.6%, 5.45% and 22.6% respectively. The mean systolic (p = 0.004) and diastolic (p<0.001) blood pressure in men were significantly higher than women. Results of logistic regression analysis showed that in both sexes, family history of hypertension, obesity, abdominal obesity, anxiety and having high levels of sodium intake were associated with high blood pressure (p< 0.05). Additionally, 45.8% of the hypertensive patients were aware of their disease, 10.0% of the aware patients, and 44.5% of everyone with high blood pressure were receiving antihypertensive medication.ConclusionsOur data showed that prehypertension/hypertension is a major health problem in Iran. Focusing on identifying risk factors to hypertension, regular drug intake, good nutrition, physical activity, and changing lifestyles of patients with hypertension are essential.

“…Overweight and obesity may lead to health problems throughout one's whole life (Khanal et al, 2019;Schiel et al, 2016). Researchers have found that obesity is related to mental health, including self-control, locus of control, anxiety disorder, and depression, and what's more, children who are more obese are more likely to experience depressive symptoms (Williams et al, 2020;Zametkin et al, 2004). Obesity or overweight can negatively impact children' health, social communication ability, psychosocial development, cognitive functions (Barrigas et al, 2012;Puhl & Heuer, 2009;Sikorski et al, 2015); and academic performance (Asirvatham et al, 2019;Taras & Potts-Datema, 2005).…”

This study investigated the relationship between children's mathematics performance and physical health using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Class of -2011 (ECLS-K 2011. A two-level hierarchical growth curve model was used to explore the relationships between childhood mathematics performance and childhood health taking moderator effects into consideration. The study results indicate that higher body mass index relates to higher kindergarten mathematics performance, holding all else constant. The results of this study have implications for educators, parents, and health providers in understanding the relationship between mathematics performance and health indicators.
