BackgroundThis study aims to describe the predictive factors of severe obesity in children followed in French Guiana.MethodsIn this observational study, the patients from the French Guianese Childhood Obesity Group database were prospectively included, after giving a statement of patient’s non opposition.ResultsOur group classifications revealed that 36 of 150 (24%) participants were classified as being metabolically abnormal obesity“ (MAO), while 114 of 150 (76%) were categorized as metabolically normal obesity” (MNO). MAO-patients were older. Their mothers had more severe obesity. We also observed that their systolic blood pressure was higher. The median Z-score BMI of children with MAO was 4, 9 [4, 05–5, 38], which shows a more obese condition than the MNO group. The median waist-to-height ratio (WTHR) of our study population was high, either 0.63 [0.54–0.59]. No significant differences in the term of pregnancy, father’s obesity, gender, birth weight, feeding, diastolic blood pressure and WTHR were found between the two groups. The predictors of MAO status, after adjusting for age and sex, were mother’s obesity and high child’s waist circumference.Among the comorbidity, there were two Down syndrome, one Cornelia de Lange syndrome, one Nephrotic Syndrome and one Epilepsy. The leptin hormone and insulin levels were higher in MAO than in MNO, while 25-OH D-vitamin was higher in MNO.ConclusionThis study indicates the need to incorporate waist circumference into routine clinical practice, in addition to traditional measures of weight, height, body mass index and waist-to-height ratio.

“…The items that received the lowest scores, such as slow eating, TV-watching during eating, and snacking between meals, are the most noticeable ones. TV-watching and smartphone addiction are strongly associated with obesity and other health problems such as future metabolic syndrome [ 57 , 58 ]. Slow eating usually accompanies unhealthy eating behaviors such as picky eating, with negative consequences for children’s health.…”

While parenting style has been linked with parent feeding behavior (FB), little is known about the role FB plays in the relationship between parents’ eating behavior (PEB) and children’s eating behavior (CEB). Based on social learning theory, we hypothesized that children learn to develop healthy CEB by obeying and imitating parents’ healthy eating and feeding behaviors, and that FB is the mediator between PEB and CEB. In total, 257 survey responses from parents of children up to 5 years old were included in the study. Results indicated that CEB did not differ by children’s age, gender, or birth order; for parents, older age and lower educational levels were associated with less healthy unhealthier FB and PEB. Healthy PEB and FB explained 46.8% and 21.7% of the variance in healthy CEB, respectively. The model confirmed that FB reduced the coefficient of healthy PEB from 0.563 to 0.468 and increased the variance explained from 35.0% to 38.5%. FB was a mediator for PEB and CEB. Discussion covers the complexity of ideal parenting styles and child feeding and their associated effects on CEB in varied environments, including different cultures. We concluded that PEB was the main predictor of CEB, and healthy feeding acted as a mediator.

“…Also, rapid weight gain of the infant can be associated not only with the type of milk consumed, but also with the way of feeding. Regardless of the type of milk, feeding with a bottle is different from breastfeeding, and its effect on infant weight gain has been reported in numerous studies [9,[32][33][34].…”

“…In a study from Turkey, Kondolot et al [33] investigated the risk factors for overweight and obesity in preschool children and reported that there were no associations between the gender and breastfeeding, or formula-feeding. In the other studies, akin to ours, associations were reported between obesity and gender [32].…”

Risk factors for overweight and obesity in children aged 2–6 years

Abstract: The early childhood period seems to be important in the establishment of healthy behavioral patterns, especially limitation of TV watching and encouragement of physical activity. Obesogenic environment in families with high incomes need to be revealed.
