“…Child growth is complexly regulated, with genetic, epigenetic and environmental components having an effect. Increasing maternal and paternal height, weight and BMI are positively correlated with child growth, with especially maternal obesity associating strongly with childhood obesity of the offspring (Addo et al, 2013;Sørensen et al, 2016;Ohlendorf et al, 2019). Furthermore, excessive maternal gestational weight gain and gestational diabetes increase the risk of childhood obesity (Josey et al 2019;Ohlendorf et al, 2019).…”

“…Multiple studies have shown higher pre-pregnancy BMI and significant gestational weight gain correlates with an increased risk of obesity in children [18][19][20]. One particular study analyzed data from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Wisconsin and found that for every 1 kg/m 2 increase in pre-pregnancy BMI, there was a 4.5% increase risk of obesity when compared to mothers with normal BMI [21]. Another study showed mothers who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery prior to pregnancy were less likely to deliver a large-for-gestationalage (LGA) child in comparison to mother's with obesity [22].…”

Racial Disparities in Obesity Treatment Among Children and Adolescents

et al. 2021

Purpose of Review With the growing obesity epidemic among children and adolescents, the evaluation of disease origin to slow disease progression is necessary. Racial disparities which are evident amid prevalence and treatment must be studied to counteract disease propagation. Recent Findings Disparities are pronounced among Black and Hispanic pediatric patients prior to conception and birth due to genetic composition and fetal environment. Postnatal environment and psychosocial influences can further increase a child/ adolescent's propensity to increased weight. Current treatment options including nutrition, physical activity, behavior modification, pharmacotherapy, and surgery are underutilized in communities of color due to limited access to care and cost. Summary Data is limited to demonstrate disparities among treatment of obesity in children and adolescents. The reviewed studies show the role of race on disease treatment. Increased research efforts, especially in pharmacotherapy and metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), will help combat obesity in pediatric communities of color.

“…Significant maternal weight gain during pregnancy can increase a child’s risk for obesity. 8,9 There is evidence that increases in BMI percentile level or BMI trajectory in children during the first 3 years of life is predictive of obesity. 10 Infants can develop obesity due to being overfed (such as for comfort) and other feeding practices like bottle feeding in infancy.…”

The prevalence of childhood obesity continues to rise despite decades of clinical and public health efforts. Early identification of children at risk of developing obesity is essential using newer electronic health systems, which move beyond traditional growth charts to provide a wealth of information about body mass index and other relevant parameters such as social determinants of health and comorbid conditions. For children who already have obesity, there are several evidence-based strategies health care providers can use as they work with patients and families to mitigate the effects. First and foremost, providers should address the issue; unfortunately, weight is often not discussed in clinical practice. In addressing the issue, providers should support families through effective, positive relationships. Providers must be aware of their biases; their language should be appropriate and nonstigmatizing. Helpful interventions should focus on behavior, not weight, health, or appearance. Motivational interviewing may be used to promote healthful behaviors: supportive parenting, regular exercise, healthful food choices, minimal screen time, and optimal sleep. There is limited evidence for the efficacy of specific weight loss diets. Both medication and bariatric surgery are indicated for select adolescents who have severe disease unresponsive to behavioral management.
