“…Social and emotional outcomes share similar trends. Compared to other weight classes, children with severe obesity are more likely to be made fun of and to be neglected or rejected by peers at school and have more indications of depression compared to other weight classes 8 . Children of lower income and racial/ethnic minority (eg, Hispanic, African American, American Indian) populations are disproportionately affected by obesity and severe obesity 9 .…”

Summary Background Paediatric obesity poses dangers to children's short and long‐term health. Multi‐level ecological models posit how children's health behaviours are influenced by interpersonal relationships. Objectives To identify profiles of individual and interpersonal health behaviours and parenting skills among caregivers and their children with elevated BMI. Methods Participants were 240 children (63.7% Latino) ages 5 to 12 years with body mass index ≥85th percentile and their caregivers in a paediatric weight management intervention trial. A latent profile analysis was used to identify profiles among caregiver report of parenting skills; child physical activity, eating behaviours, and food and beverage choices; family mealtime, media and sleep routines; and parent health behaviours, and associations with food and housing insecurity. Results A three‐class model was chosen based on conceptual interpretation and model fit. Profiles were differentiated by parenting skills, child food choices, child physical activity habits, family mealtime, media, and sleep routines, and parent health behaviours. Food and housing insecurity were associated with class membership while child and caregiver anthropometrics were not. Conclusions Distinct profiles existed among this low‐income, racially/ethnically diverse sample of children with elevated BMI. Such findings emphasize the importance of assessing individual and interpersonal influences and contextual factors on childhood obesity.

CONTEXT: Despite their important influence on child health, it is assumed that fathers are less likely than mothers to participate in pediatric obesity treatment and prevention research. OBJECTIVE: This review investigated the involvement of fathers in obesity treatment and prevention programs targeting children and adolescents [0–18 years], DATA SOURCES: A systematic review of English, peer-reviewed articles across 7 databases, Retrieved records included at least 1 search term from 2 groups: “participants” (eg, child* parent*) and “outcomes”: (eg, obes* diet*). STUDY SELECTION: Randomized controlled trials [RCTs] assessing behavioral interventions to prevent or treat obesity in pediatric samples were eligible. Parents must have “actively participated” in the study DATA EXTRACTION: Two authors independently extracted data using a predefined template, RESULTS: The search retrieved 213 eligible RCTs. Of the RCTs that limited participation to 1 parent only (n = 80), fathers represented only 6% of parents. In RCTs in which participation was open to both parents (n = 133), 92% did not report objective data on father involvement, No study characteristics moderated the level of father involvement, with fathers underrepresented across all study types. Only 4 studies (2%) suggested that a lack of fathers was a possible limitation. Two studies (1%) reported explicit attempts to increase father involvement, LIMITATIONS: The review was limited to RCTs published in English peer-reviewed journals over a 10-year period, CONCLUSIONS: Existing pediatric obesity treatment or prevention programs with parent involvement have not engaged fathers. Innovative strategies are needed to make participation more accessible and engaging for fathers,

“…Among first graders, being overweight, obese, and severely obese can lead to intrapersonal and interpersonal problems with peers (33). Studies of obese children’s relations with peers typically have used self-reports or classmates’ ratings of drawings of hypothetical peers (e.g., asking, “How much would you want to play with this [overweight] child?”).…”

“…Starting in 2005, our research team conducted a longitudinal study of rural elementary-school children (1). The Inter- and Intra-Personal Risk (IIPR) model of obesity in childhood is an interdisciplinary representation of psychosocial risk factors based on empirical work in developmental, family, and nutritional sciences (2).…”

In recent years, researchers and policymakers have recognized that obesity in childhood is not simply a medical problem, but is a complex social and psychological phenomenon. Our research team used an interpersonal and intrapersonal risk model to examine the psychosocial aspects of obesity among rural children. In this article, we describe how the global study of children’s obesity has broadened over the last 10 to 15 years, and we present our model of interpersonal and intrapersonal risk factors, which includes complex pathways with many psychosocial variables. We then describe a large prospective longitudinal study of children in grades 1 through 4, and highlight findings from five studies guided by this model. This work illustrates opportunities for developmental scientists and practitioners to join transdisciplinary teams to develop more effective prevention and intervention programs for children.
