“…In this study, boys have a lower percentage of adipose tissue than girls. This is consistent with the results of available research (McCarthy et al, 2006, Halasi et al, 2018Taylor et al, 1997;Chwałczyńska et al, 2018). Zhang et al (2015) analysed fatness in Tibetan children.…”

In some studies, boys have a higher BMI (Đorđić et al, 2016;Chwałczyńska et al, 2018;), yet in other studies girls do (Halasi et al, 2018;Taylor et al, 1997, Basterfield et al, 2011 and in some cases they are .

This study addressed the assessment of anthropometric characteristics and body composition of primary school children. The study aimed to determine age and sex related differences in children aged 7 and 8 years, which could be used to assess the health status of children and to monitor the trend of their growth and development. The study included 1520 students (814 second-grade students and 706 third-grade students; 772 boys and 748 girls). The participants were measured for body height and weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, fat mass, and fat-free mass. The results indicated that there were significant differences between boys and girls in body height and weight, fat percentage, body mass index, and fat-free mass (p <.05), whereas there was no difference in fat mass. Apart from the fat percentage, there are significant differences between seven-and eight-year-old children in all other measured variables. The obtained values of anthropometric characteristics and body composition of children are in accordance with the world trends. The differences between the sexes and the generations of children that have been identified are probably due to genetic predisposition, but also to the conditions in which they grow up.

“…Childhood obesity has also a detrimental impact on HRQoL (Jalali‐Farahani, Shojaei, Parvin, & Amiri, 2018; Mollerup et al, 2017) as measured in both clinical (Manion & Velsor‐Friedrich, 2017; Wille, Bullinger, Holl et al, 2010) and population‐based samples (Halasi, Lepes, Dordic et al, 2018; Ottova, Erhart, Rajmil, Dettenborn‐Betz, & Ravens‐Sieberer, 2012). HRQoL of school‐aged children and adolescents is impaired in children with overweight/obesity compared to children with a normal weight (Costarelli, Koretsi, & Georgitsogianni, 2013; Halasi et al, 2018; Ottova et al, 2012). Furthermore, obesity in childhood or adolescence is considered a determinant of obesity in adulthood.…”

Objectives This study explores the association between socioeconomic position (SEP) and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) among Portuguese children according to their weight status. Methods A total of 1215 primary school‐aged children (mean age 8.78 years) from three Portuguese districts (Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra) were assessed during 2016/2017. Father and mother's education (low, medium, high) and work status (employed, unemployed/retired) were used as SEP indicators. Self‐reported HRQoL was assessed with the KIDSCREEN‐27. Height and weight were objectively measured and body mass index categorized in normal, overweight or obese. Age, sex, and district‐adjusted linear regression models were fitted to estimate associations between SEP indicators and HRQoL dimensions, according to weight status. Results We found that 24.9% of children were categorized as having overweight/obesity. The mean scores of the Physical Well‐Being, and School Environment dimensions of HRQoL were lower among children classified with overweight/obesity compared to children with normal weight (57.21 vs 54.11, P < .001 and 57.85 vs 56.04, P = .010, respectively). Father's education was significantly associated with all HRQoL dimensions in children with a normal weight, but the same was not observed among children presenting overweight/obesity. An increase in the level of maternal education was also significantly associated with all HRQoL dimensions among children classified with a normal weight, and only for the School Environment dimension among children classified with overweight/obesity. Conclusions These results suggest the presence of socioeconomic inequalities in self‐reported HRQoL from early age, particularly among children with normal weight.

“…Obesity is de ned as accumulation of excess body fat that affects individuals' health and wellbeing [1]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over than 10% of the world's population is obese, with the sharp rising trend of overweight in children and adolescents indicating childhood obesity to be a global problem [2].…”

Background: Maternal characteristics have been known to be associated with parenting practices that could eventually influence their child’s weight and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to assess the direct and indirect associations of maternal emotional states (depression, anxiety and stress) with body mass index (BMI) and HRQoL in their children. Methods: This study was conducted within the framework of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). Participants were children (n=231) who participated in the TLGS during 2014-2016 with complete data on maternal emotional states. Body weight and height of children were measured using standard protocol and BMI-Z scores were determined using Anthroplus. HRQoL in children and emotional states in mothers were assessed using the Iranian version of the pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL TM 4.0) and the depression, anxiety and stress scales (DASS-21) respectively. Structural equations modeling (SEM) was used to assess the direct and indirect relations of maternal emotional states with children’s BMI Z score and HRQoL. Results: Mean age, BMI Z-score and HRQoL total score in children were 13.8±3.1 years, 0.74±1.5 and 84.7±11.3 respectively. In mothers, median scores (Interquartile ranges) of DASS-21 in three scales including depression, anxiety and stress were 4(0-10), 6(2-12) and 14(8-20) respectively. Maternal level of education was significantly associated with DASS-21 scores (β=-0.23, 95% CI: -0.37,-0.07). Maternal DASS-21 scores were significantly associated with BMI Z scores only in girls (β=0.25, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.53). Significant determinants of HRQoL in boys were child’s age (β=-0.21, 95% CI: -0.40, -0.01), maternal education (β=-0.24, 95%CI: -0.44, -0.02) and emotional state (β=-0.24, 95% CI: -0.44, -0.03). Child’s age (β=-0.33, 95%-CI: -0.53, -0.10) and maternal emotional state (β=-0.31, 95% CI: -0.54, -0.08) were significantly associated with HRQoL in girls. Conclusion: Our results indicate maternal emotional states to be the important determinants of HRQoL in children, regardless of their weight status. Further research is recommended to examine the current hypothesized model in rural and sub-urban populations taking ino consideration more influential factors.
