“…This commonly results from excessive anatomical and mechanical strain on the lower limbs, leading to pes valgus, pes planus, genu valgum, etc (52). The dynamic impairment associated with childhood obesity can also manifest as shortening of the hip flexor and knee extensors, especially the quadriceps and psoas muscles (53). This can, in turn, result in hyperlordosis (pronounced curve in the lumbar spine) or retropatellar symptoms (anterior knee pain).…”

Childhood obesity is a preventable multi-systemic disorder, defined as the body mass index of a child being at or above the 95th percentile, has become an epidemic. In 2019, about 38 million under-five children and over 300 million individuals aged 5-19 were reported to be overweight or obese. In this narrative review, we showed evidences, from existing literature, of the affectation of various body systems by childhood obesity. Co-morbid disorders associated with childhood obesity in the cardiovascular, nervous, dermatological, respiratory, endocrine, reproductive, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and renal systems, and its effects on mental health are discussed. Since obesity ultimately reduces the quality of life of children and is a leading cause of preventable deaths of children globally, effective research, policy and community-based project interventions, aimed at the prevention of obesity and the treatment of its co-morbid disorders, should be taken by all appropriate stakeholders.

“…Childhood obesity is sometimes associated with early onset of arthrosis, especially of the knee, vertebrae and feet (53). The symptoms of arthrosis are accelerated by both the mechanical factors and hormonal changes associated with obesity (53).…”

“…Childhood obesity presents one of the largest public health problems with serious long-term health consequences. Children with obesity have a higher risk of developing diabetes type 2, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and musculoskeletal disorders later in life [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Amongst the above-mentioned risks of paediatric obesity, musculoskeletal disorders with associated biomechanical and health impact have been least studied systematically.…”

“…Furthermore, obesity leads to degenerative deformities such as osteoarthritis even among children [ 37 ]. Taking everything into account, postural alteration, coordination deficits, and overweight in childhood could lead to the development of DFM and orthopaedic deformities in the future [ 1 , 19 , 20 ]. This could be concerning since the number of children with overweight and obesity is still increasing around the globe [ 38 ].…”

This study examined the association between functional movement (FM) and adiposity in adolescent population (16–17 years). This study was conducted in a representative sample of urban adolescents as the part of the CRO-PALS longitudinal study (n = 652). Body mass index (BMI), a sum of four skinfolds (S4S), waist and hip circumference were measured, and FM was assessed via Functional Movement ScreenTM (FMSTM). Furthermore, total FMSTM screen was indicator of FM with the composite score ranged from 7 to 21, with higher score indicating better FM. Multilevel analysis was employed to determine the relationship between different predictors and total FMS score. In boys, after controlling for age, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and socioeconomic status, total FMS score was inversely associated only with BMI (β = −0.18, p < 0.0001), S4S (β = −0.04, p < 0.0001), waist circumference (β = −0.08, p < 0.0001), and hip circumference (β = −0.09, p < 0.0001). However, among girls, in adjusted models, total FMS score was inversely associated with S4S (β = −0.03, p < 0.0001), while BMI (β = −0.05, p = 0.23), waist circumference (β = −0.04, p = 0.06), and hip circumference: (β = −0.01, p = 0.70) failed to reach statistical significance. Results showed that the association between adiposity and FM in adolescence is sex-specific, suggesting that boys with overweight and obesity could be more prone to develop dysfunctional movement patterns. Therefore, exercise interventions directed toward correcting dysfunctional movement patterns should be sex-specific, targeting more boys with overweight and obesity rather than adolescent girls with excess weight.

This study investigated the relationship between functional movement (FM) and adiposity in adolescents (16-17 years). This research is a part of the CRO-PALS study conducted in a random sample of adolescents (n=652, mean age±SD: 16.6±0.4). Body mass index (BMI), a sum of four skinfolds (S4S), waist and hip circumference were measured, and FM was assessed via Functional Movement Screen™ (FMSTM). Multilevel analysis were employed to determine the relationship between different predictors and total FMS score. After controlling for age, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and socioeconomic status, relationship between variables of adiposity and total FMS score was significant and negative among boys (BMI:β=-0.18, p<0.0001; S4S:β=-0.04, p<0.0001; waist circumference:β=-0.08, p<0.0001; hip circumference:β=-0.09, p<0.0001). However, among girls, in adjusted models, only S4S showed a significant and negative effect on total FMS score (β=-0.03, p<0.0001), while other coefficients failed to reach significance (BMI:β=-0.05, p=0.23; waist circumference:β=-0.04, p=0.06; hip circumference:β=-0.01, p=0.70). Results showed that the effect of adiposity on FM in adolescence is sex-specific, suggesting that boys with overweight and obesity could be more prone to develop dysfunctional movement patterns. Therefore, exercise interventions directed toward correcting dysfunctional patterns should be sex-specific, targeting more boys with overweight and obesity rather than adolescent girls with overweight and obesity.
