Treating Obesity in Preschoolers

Abstract: SYNOPSIS Developing interventions targeting obesity reduction in preschoolers is an emergent area. While intensive, multi-component interventions appear a promising approach to preschool obesity reduction, the current review identifies three critical gaps (poor reach to families from low-income and minority backgrounds, do not provide sufficient evidence to determine the most effective and efficient treatment components and approaches to treating obesity in early childhood, and lack consensus on how best to di… Show more

“…This insight is important given the increasing burden of childhood obesity among low-income families 21 and the need to develop interventions that are effective in this context. 22 We hypothesize that greater concern by mothers that their child will become overweight will be associated with more restrictive feeding and greater monitoring of child eating, but less pressuring feeding practices. Additionally, we hypothesize that concern will be associated with family meal characteristics that reflect current clinical guidance for child nutrition promotion and obesity prevention and treatment.…”

“…Em geral, a maioria dos estudos considerou as intervenções acessíveis a diferentes grupos sociais, levando em consideração a urgência de intervenções nas populações mais vulneráveis e que refletem um maior risco para obesidade devido a disponibilidade de alimentos processados e com menor valor aquisitivo, reforçando a necessidade de implementação de estratégias capazes de modificar esse cenário (PFEIFFLÉ et al, 2019;TOWNER et al, 2016). Ressalta-se ainda que são necessários mais estudos direcionados a intervenções não farmacológicas para o manejo da obesidade infantil que possam servir de bases para a construção de estudos intervencionais e elaboração de protocolos e guidelines, fortalecendo as evidências associadas a efetividade dessas intervenções para prevenção e manejo da obesidade infantil.…”

“…Tanto los problemas mentales pediátricos y el exceso de peso, se han considerado problemas de salud pública y causan una importante mortalidad en la región, con consecuencias sobre la salud física y psicológica que persisten y repercuten en la juventud y adultez. Las medidas para su prevención coinciden en gran parte con las medidas para prevenir otras enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles, incluso se propone como indicador útil para la vigilancia epidemiológica y de inequidad social en salud (1,10,30). Pese a la indicación de la necesidad de determinar mediciones de fácil detección y bajo costo, se han usado instrumentos como K-SAD (Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia).…”
