“…Moreover, these findings were not associated only with dietary but also with obesity, blood high level of low density lipoprotein -cholesterol (LDL -Cholesterol) and high blood pressure. It is already well known that metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk later in life is strongly connected with health status in childhood, from early ages (overweight or obesity, hypertension, glucose tolerance impairment, level of serum uric acid, dyslipidemia) [12]. The more risk factors involved, the greater atherosclerotic plaques extension [13].…”

“…Snacks with high energy intake delayed the request for the next meal with less than an hour and did not reduce the energy consumed at the subsequent meal [32][33][34]. Positive results of some programs dedicated to improving eating habits in children had demonstrated that compliance on regular time table can change not only the alimentary habits but also can improve the quality of the diet, with higher energy intake at breakfast compared with afternoon [12].…”

Background: Obesity and overweight have increased prevalence in children during the last decades all over the world. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of overweight/obesity through the 12-18 year old schoolchildren in Brasov district and to describe eating patterns and the possible relationship between overweight/obesity and eating pattern. Material and Method: There were recruted 250 children for a cross-sectional study in Brasov district, Romania. Alimentary habit, snaking, meal frequencies were declared by the subjects using a retrospective questionnaire. Parents were asked to give information about family history regarding the presence of cardio-vascular risk factors. There were measured weight and height for all children and it was calculated body mass index calculated using international standard cutoff points (International Obesity Task Force values). It was also evaluated the level of phisical activityfor each children. Results: Positive family hystory for cardio-vascular risk factor, eating pattern and physical activity were associated with overweight. Healthy eating pattern including fresh fruits and vegetables loses ground in favour of fast-food as the age increases. Conclusions: The main finding was that, eating pattern in schoolchildren should worry both parents and school authorities. The family influence on children̓ s eating pattern decreases as the age grow, the busy school program determine lack of phisical activities and failure of and the healthy alimentation. The prevalence of overweight was high and connected with dietary behaviour, independent associations were evident between eating patterns and overweight, indicating the need of the need for a common intervention on nutrition both from the family and from the educators.

“…Few studies have investigated MD and the development of non-communicable disease during childhood and adolescence. In spite of the particular attention to allergic-respiratory diseases and obesity [ 33 , 34 , 36 , 65 ], there are few reports regarding the correlation between MD and endocrinological, neuropsychological, gastrointestinal diseases, and more generally, with various early-onset autoimmune disorders [ 38 ]. Furthermore, although the link between obesity and MD are largely investigated, evidence is scarce regarding the association between MD and maintaining a correct body weight in childhood.…”

“…In fact, despite adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables, preschool children are often exposed to sugary drinks, snacks, and an excessive intake of proteins and sodium [ 6 ]. A study performed on 619 Spanish children highlighted that a higher adherence rate to MD and higher cardiopulmonary fitness (measured with 20 m shuttle run test) are associated with lower waist circumference, an anthropometric parameter widely associated to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases [ 34 ]. It is noteworthy how MD has a protective role against wheezing [ 35 ] and acute rhinosinusitis [ 36 ], two very frequent causes of pediatrician consultation in preschool age.…”

Numerous studies in recent decades have shown that Mediterranean diet (MD) can reduce the risk of developing obesity in pediatric patients. The current narrative review summarizes recent evidence regarding the impact of MD across the different stages of child development, starting from fetal development, analyzing breastfeeding and weaning, through childhood up to adolescence, highlighting the gaps in knowledge for each age group. A literature search covering evidence published between 1 January 2000 and 1 March 2022 and concerning children only was conducted using multiple keywords and standardized terminology in PubMed database. A lack of scientific evidence about MD adherence concerns the age group undergoing weaning, thus between 6 months and one year of life. In the other age groups, adherence to MD and its beneficial effects in terms of obesity prevention has been extensively investigated, however, there are still few studies that correlate this dietary style with the incidence of non-communicable diseases. Furthermore, research on multi-intervention strategy should be implemented, especially regarding the role of education of children and families in taking up this healthy dietary style.

“…Primary prevention may involve mass media, social communication, and healthcare systems to support parents to a more empathic and less intrusive parenting attitude towards their children since early infancy (Atzil, Hendler, & Feldman, 2011). Secondary and tertiary prevention strategies need to implement nutritional assistance of children with obesity and their families with psychoeducational and psychotherapeutic approaches (Arenaza, Medrano, et al, 2020).…”

Objective: Obesity is rising globally with a heavy health and economic burden. Early attachment experiences are relevant to the development of obesity. The purpose of this study was to investigate if parental care and attachment style experienced in childhood is associated with obesity, with or without binge eating disorder (BED), in adulthood. Method: Parental style, personality traits, and psychopathology were assessed in 810 clinically referred adults with obesity, of whom 357 with BED and 453 without BED (non-BED), and 463 healthy subjects (HS). Assessments included the Parental Bonding Instrument, Temperament and Character Inventory, Eating Disorder Inventory-2, Symptom Checklist-90 and Beck Depression Inventory-II. Results: Both BED and non-BED reported lower maternal and paternal care and higher overprotection than HS. BED reported worse levels of parental care than non-BED and HS. 'Affectionless control' parenting style was more frequently reported by both BED and non-BED than HS. No significant differences in parenting style emerged between BED and non-BED. Conclusions: Perception of parental 'affectionless control' was associated with obesity in adults, and lower quality of parental care was more frequently reported by participants with BED. Parental style may constitute an important target for early interventions to prevent obesity.
