“…Restraint affects satiation through restriction of FI as a means of controlling body weight (37). Self-regulation of FI is evident after menarche in 12-to 17-y-old girls, who limit their FI because of the concerns with body image (12). Although restraint associates with reduced FI in adult females (38) and restraint was higher in postpubertal girls, its role is unclear because no correlation was found between restraint and FI.…”

Television Viewing at Mealtime Reduces Caloric Compensation in Peripubertal, But Not Postpubertal, Girls

ABSTRACT:The effect of television viewing (TVV) and pubertal status of 9-to 14-y-old girls on mealtime food intake (FI) after a premeal glucose drink was determined. On four separate mornings, girls randomly received equally sweetened drinks containing Sucralose (control) or glucose (1.0 g/kg body weight) in 250 mL of water 2 h after a standardized breakfast. FI from an ad libitum pizza meal was measured 30 min later with or without TVV. Appetite was measured at 15 min intervals to lunch and postmeal. TVV at mealtime had no effect on FI, however, glucose suppressed FI more with no TVV compared with TVV (24 versus 10%, p Ͻ 0.001), primarily because of its effect in peripubertal girls (p Ͻ 0.028). In postpubertal girls (n ϭ 8), glucose reduced FI by ϳ27% in both the no TVV and TVV conditions, but in peripubertal girls (n ϭ 17), reduction in FI was 22% without TVV and only 1% while TVV. Appetite correlated with FI at 30 min only in postpubertal girls. TVV at mealtime reduced caloric compensation after consumption of the glucose drink in peripubertal, but not postpubertal, girls, with no effect on mealtime FI. (Clinical trial number NCT01025687.) (Pediatr Res 70: 513-517, 2011) F ood intake (FI) regulation in children is influenced by both physiological and environmental factors. Physiological signals of satiety and satiation are primary regulators of FI and energy balance (1). However, many nonfood-related stimuli in the mealtime environment impact this regulation (2). In children, excessive screen time (4 ϩ h/d) has been associated with increased incidence of obesity (3). Possible causes of this association are increased preference for energy dense foods and sweetened beverages (4), decreased resting metabolic rate (5), meal skipping (6), and reduced activity (7) while television viewing (TVV).Despite the strong associations found between obesity and TVV (7), few studies in children and adolescents have reported quantitative FI while TVV using a within-subject design. Although 3-to 5-y olds eat less while TVV (8), 15-to 16-y olds show no differences in FI when eating while TVV, no TVV, and listening to music (9). Only one study examined the effect of TVV on FI in 9-to 14-y-old children (10). Although TVV, boys ate 24% more at a pizza meal, indicating delayed satiation and showed diminished response to satiety signals after a glucose drink taken 30 min before the meal. Thus, mealtime TVV impaired physiologic signals leading to both satiety and satiation (10).The effect of TVV on satiety and satiation has not been reported for 9-to 14-y-old girls. Girls in this age range experience hormonal changes during puberty that may impact energy intake (11) and may use food and diet to address their negative perceptions of body image (12). Thus, our objective was to investigate the effect of TVV while eating and pubertal status on subjective appetite and mealtime FI 30 min after consumption of glucose (1.0 g/kg body weight) or noncaloric sweetened drink in 9-to 14-y-old girls. Our hypothesis was that TVV reduces the effect of...

“…Paradoxically, normative pubertal changes which coincide with weight gain and increase in adiposity move many girls away from the ideal of a slender female figure prevalent in western culture; thus in many ways, normal puberty leads to a reduction in body image satisfaction among many girls (Abraham, Boyd, Lal, Luscombe, & Taylor, 2009;Levine & Smolak, 2006;Siegel, et al, 1999). Pubertal gains in adiposity are greater in early maturing females so it is not surprising that they more often report inferior body image satisfaction.…”

A model for adolescent involvement in physical activity (PA) that incorporates individual differences in biological maturation is presented. The Biocultural Model of Maturity-Associated Variance in Physical Activity recognizes PA as a complex and multifaceted behavior that exists in multiple contexts (e.g., transport, vocation, sport, exercise & others) and can be viewed from multiple perspectives (e.g., energy expenditure, movement counts, performance outcomes & fitness). The model holds that biological maturation can exert both direct and indirect effects on PA during adolescence. Direct effects imply a direct and unmediated effect of individual differences in maturation on PA. Indirect effects imply influences of individual differences in maturation on PA that are mediated by psychological constructs (e.g., self-perceptions, beliefs) and/or are moderated by exogenous factors (e.g., social interaction, culture) associated with pubertal maturation.

“…Several studies have suggested that the mean age of menarche has declined over the last few decades in developed (Fredriks et al, ; McDowell, Brody, & Hughes, ; Mendoza et al, ; Morris, Jones, Schoemaker, Ashworth, & Swerdlow, ; O'Connell, Gavin, Kelly, Molcho, & Nic Gabhainn, ) and developing (Jones, Griffiths, Norris, Pettifor, & Cameron, ; Loukid, Baali, & Hilali, ; Mao et al, ; Pathak, Tripathi, & Subramanian, ; Silva & Padez, ) countries. This has several public health implications because early onset of menarche has been linked to many disease conditions such as metabolic syndrome (Pathak et al, ), obesity (Bralić et al, ), type 2 diabetes(Dreyfus et al, ), ischemic heart disease and stroke (Jacobsen, Oda, Knutsen, & Fraser, ), depression (Stice, Presnell, & Bearman, ), eating disorders (Abraham, Boyd, Lal, Luscombe, & Taylor, ), breast cancer (Kotsopoulos et al, ), ovarian cancer (Jordan, Webb, & Green, ), endometrial cancer (Ali, ; Brinton et al, ), and overall mortality (Jacobsen, Heuch, & Kvale, ).…”
