... Obese and overweight adolescents scored significantly higher than normal weight adolescents on three subscales [24]. The study concluded that there is a relationship between BMI and eating behaviour, where adolescents often consume fast food and are at low levels of physical activity [31]. In children, making better food choices is highly recommended for people who are overweight and obese [32]. ...
Background and Study Aim. Obesity is a metabolic disease characterised by excessive fat accumulation. Indonesia ranks second after Singapore with the largest number of obese adolescents. The study aimed to assess the impact of physical activity, eating behavior, and sleep quality on Body Mass Index (BMI) in adolescents. Materials and Methods. This study was quantitative, with an ex post facto design. The study included 231 students (136 males, 95 females) aged 16-19 years, each with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 25.1. Participants were healthy and consented to the study by completing a screening questionnaire. The analysis was performed using regression techniques in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 software. Results. The selected regression model is feasible and demonstrates that physical activity, diet, and sleep quality collectively influence students' BMI (p-value < 0.001). Furthermore, the analysis shows that physical activity (p-value < 0.001), diet (p-value = 0.019), and sleep quality (p-value < 0.001) independently affect students' BMI. Conclusions. We suggest that schools need to hold counseling programs in collaboration with relevant health workers to conduct counseling with the prevention of malnutrition, especially obesity. Provide additional tasks in the form of physical activity that students must do at home with parental supervision and the results will be reported to the teacher as an additional task value. Parents should also provide supervision of eating behavior and sleep patterns. For future researchers to be able to reveal other variables that can affect student BMI, because our report found only 49.90%.

Latar belakang. Epilepsi merupakan salah satu penyebab peningkatan morbiditas yang secara signifikan menurunkan kualitas hidup pada populasi anak di seluruh dunia. Terapi asam valproat sebagai anti-epilepsi jangka panjang untuk mencegah serangan berulang. Pemberian asam valproat dapat memberikan efek menambah nafsu makan dan meningkatkan berat badan pasien.Tujuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh terapi asam valproat dengan peningkatan berat badan anak epilepsi setelah tiga dan enam bulan terapi berdasarkan kelompok usia dan jenis kelamin.Metode. Studi ini dilakukan di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh dengan desain potong lintang. Evaluasi kenaikan berat badan dilakukan pada bulan ke-3 dan ke-6 setelah pemberian terapi asam valproat.Hasil. Sebanyak 70 subjek pasien epilepsi yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dengan rerata usia empat tahun delapan bulan didominasi jenis kelamin perempuan (54,3%). Terjadi peningkatan berat badan setelah tiga bulan terapi dengan dosis asam valproat 20-25 mg/kgBB dengan p = 0,002 dan terjadi peningkatan berat badan setelah enam bulan terapi dengan p = <0,001 pada kelompok usia. Kesimpulan. Hubungan terapi asam valproat dan peningkatan berat badan hanya signifikan pada setelah enam bulan terapi berdasarkan kelompok umur. Dengan demikian, peningkatan berat badan adalah hal yang normal sesuai dengan pertambahan usia anak.
... Further, several factors result to students preferring cheese over milk such as cheese having a longer shelf life than milk and being fairly priced in the western nations as compared to the students' native [17]. Despite coming with health benefits such as reduced CVD and diabetes events [18], nuts intake significantly reduced. ...
As a result to the students’ migration to foreign countries, they are forced to adjust to the new host’s environment, culture and tradition. One major adjustment required is their diet. This study assesses actual dietary intake changes after students’ immigration to the UK. This study adopted the approach of a cross-sectional study design to collect quantitative data using a questionnaire. A sample size of 99 international students was selected. Snowball sampling was used in selecting the study’s participants. All data was quantitative hence analysed using the software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (version 26.0). Differences in consumption of the food items pre and post immigration were evaluated using t-test for related samples. The findings show that intake of foods perceived to be non-western such as nuts, fruits and vegetables, proteins such as beans, meat soup, fish and sausages decreased while intake of fat rich highly processed foods perceived to be western such as chips, cheese, bacon, sausages and ham increased after immigration to the UK.

Background: Food and eating behaviors can be related to nutrition as well as sleep for healthy society.
Objectives: The aim of the study is to examine the eating behaviors of adolescents and the effect of some foods on sleep quality in adolescence.
MethodS: The study was carried out as a survey model of 580 adolescents in Konya, Turkey. The questionnaire consists of demographic features and anthropometric measurements, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Eating Behavior Scale (EBS), and 24-hour recalled food consumption record used for evaluation of daily nutrient intakes. The SPSS (ver. 22) software was used to analyze the data.
Results: PSQI score was 5.79±0.17 in girls and 5.27±0.15 in boys, with a significant difference (p=0.022) and sleep quality was found to be good in 42.4% and poor in 57.6%. Sleep duration (p=0.011), sleep disturbances (p=0.002), daytime dysfunction (p=0.000) were differed by gender. The mean of EBS score was found to be 211.04±61.32, differed between girls and boys (p
... In another study with overweight children and adolescents, nut consumption was associated with lower carotid intima-media thickness, which is associated with subclinical stages of atherosclerosis [6]. Similar positive effects of nut consumption in children and adolescents have been suggested, such as lower blood pressure [31], BMI [32], and screen time [33]. In summary, scientific evidence based on children and adolescents supports that nut consumption is associated with healthy lifestyle habits and markers of cardiovascular health [6,12,[30][31][32] and that these factors are related to higher academic performance [34,35]. ...
... Similar positive effects of nut consumption in children and adolescents have been suggested, such as lower blood pressure [31], BMI [32], and screen time [33]. In summary, scientific evidence based on children and adolescents supports that nut consumption is associated with healthy lifestyle habits and markers of cardiovascular health [6,12,[30][31][32] and that these factors are related to higher academic performance [34,35]. Hence, it is reasonable to suggest that nut consumption is also associated with greater academic performance, but this assumption requires an understanding of the role which relevant covariates (e.g., sex, socioeconomic level, physical activity, etc.) play on this association and the biological mechanisms behind this possible effect. ...
Purpose
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between nut consumption and academic performance in Spanish adolescents and to explore the role of sociodemographic, anthropometric, and lifestyle covariates on this association.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was carried out using a food frequency questionnaire for estimating nut consumption in the number of 20–30 g servings per week, and academic performance data were obtained from school records. Analyses of covariance were adjusted for sociodemographic, anthropometric and lifestyle covariates, including total energy intake.
Results
Among the 846 adolescents included in the analyses (55.3% girls, age range from 12 to 17 years), the mean ± standard deviation consumption of nuts was 2.7 ± 2.8 servings per week, while the mean of all school grades recorded was 6.5 ± 2.0. Furthermore, compared to no consumption, the consumption of ≥ 3 nut servings per week was consistently associated with higher grades in language (p for trend = 0.005), combination of language and math (p for trend = 0.026), grade point average (p for trend = 0.039), and combination of all school records (p for trend = 0.046). These associations were observed regardless of all covariates considered, although sex and socioeconomic level played a significant role in the completely adjusted models.
Conclusion
Nut consumption is associated with higher academic performance in a representative sample of Spanish adolescents. These cross-sectional results should be confirmed in longitudinal and intervention studies.
... All patients were white male teenagers (age range 15-17 years) with no underlying medical conditions on admission. Four patients were obese, and one was overweight, according to the World Health Organization's body mass index [5]. None of them had a positive medical history for previous COVID-19 infection. ...
Presently, the whole globe is struggling the tough challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccination remains the most effective and safe COVID-19 weapon for adults and in the paediatric population. Aside from possible mild and moderate post-vaccination side effects, more severe side effects may occur. We retrospectively analysed a group of 5 teenagers aged from 15 to 17 years with obesity/overweight (BMI ranging from 24.8 to 30) who presented typical myocarditis symptoms following the first or second dose (3 and 2 patients, respectively) of the COVID-19 vaccine. In the whole study group, a significant increase in troponin serum concentration was observed (1674–37,279.6 ng/L) with a further quick reduction within 3–4 days. In all patients, ST segments elevation or depression with repolarisation time abnormalities in electrocardiography were noticed. Chest X-ray results were within normal limits. Echocardiography showed normal left ventricular diameter (47–56.2 mm) with ejection fraction between 61–72%. All patients were diagnosed with myocarditis based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. During further hospitalisation, swift clinical improvement was notable. Follow-up in the whole study group was obtained after 106–134 days from initial CMR, revealing no myocarditis symptoms, proper troponin level, and no ECG or echocardiographic abnormalities. At the same time, persistent myocardium injury features were detected in the whole study group, including ongoing myocarditis. COVID-19-vaccine-induced myocarditis seems to be a mild disease with fast clinical recovery, but the complete resolution of the inflammatory process may last over 3 months. Further follow-up and investigation for assessing subsequent implications and long-term COVID-19-vaccine-induced myocarditis is required.
... Esta pesquisa foi efetuada de acordo com as recomendações PRISMA (Principais Itens para Relatar Revisões Sistemáticas e Meta-análises) (Harrad, Galvão, Pansati & Andrade, 2015), baseada na análise de artigos referentes à relação da exposição televisiva e a obesidade infantil. Para a recolha de dados da obesidade, as variáveis mais utilizadas foram a estatura, peso e IMC (n=9; 50%) (Bracale et al., 2013;Carandente et al., 2009;Decelis et al., 2014;Katzmarzyk et al., 2015;Lane et al., 2014;Liang et al., 2009;Luis et al., 2015;Mitchell et al., 2018;Montgomery-Reagan et al., 2009). Em três estudos, as variáveis usadas foram a estatura, peso, IMC e percentagem de gordura corporal. ...
... Estes dados vão ao encontro da presente revisão sistemática, que demonstrou que em 94,4% dos artigos foi encontrada uma associação estatisticamente positiva entre a exposição televisiva e a obesidade nas crianças ( (Liang et al., 2009) e demonstraram associações estatisticamente significativas com IMC elevado e a visualização de TV por mais de 5h (Mitchell et al., 2018). ...
... Em Portugal, as crianças também passam, em média, duas horas e meia por dia em frente à televisão (EPHE, 2015). Na atual revisão sistemática as crianças com excesso de peso passavam mais de duas horas a ver TV (Bracale et al., 2013;Decelis et al., 2014;Dutra et al., 2015;Huang et al., 2013;Novaes et al., 2009;Mitchell et al., 2018;Xinhua et al., 2010). Num estudo, as crianças obesas passavam mais de três horas a ver TV (Novaes et al., 2009); e, num outro estudo, as crianças obesas passavam mais de cinco horas por dia a ver TV (Mitchell et al., 2018). ...
Estudos indicam uma associação entre a visualização televisiva e a obesidade, seja por incentivar o consumo de alimentos calóricos seja por conduzir ao sedentarismo, comportamento que contribui para a génese da obesidade. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a relação entre a exposição televisiva e a obesidade infantil, em crianças dos 6 aos 11 anos. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura, tendo sido selecionados 18 artigos nas plataformas Web of Science e PubMed, publicados entre 2008 e 2018, que respondessem aos objetivos. Esta revisão foi conduzida de acordo com as diretrizes PRISMA (Principais Itens para Relatar Revisões Sistemáticas e Meta-análises) e colaboração Cochrane para revisões sistemáticas. Verificou-se uma associação estatisticamente positiva entre o tempo de exposição televisiva e a obesidade (n=9; 53%). Em três artigos verificou-se uma relação entre a visualização de TV e a obesidade, independentemente do tempo despendido na visualização (n=3; 17,6%). Aferiu-se, também, que em 29,4% dos estudos (n=5), o nível de adiposidade aumentava nas crianças quando estas tinham uma TV no quarto.Constatando-se que a existência de aparelho televisivo no quarto e o tempo de visualização de TV se relacionam com a obesidade nas crianças, conclui-se que é necessário e urgente o estímulo a atividades que promovam de um estilo de vida ativo.
... This finding is in line with other studies conducted among adolescents. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) study, performed on participants from 35 countries, revealed that the adolescents consuming nuts three or more times per week exhibit a lower BMI when compared to those consuming nuts rarely, or never [83,84]. Another study found that adolescents who reported consuming nuts had a lower likelihood of being overweight or obese [85]. ...
Adolescent female gymnasts are a vulnerable population in terms of their diet, as their nutritional needs are higher due to their growth and high daily training demands. The Mediterranean diet (MD) is a well-known dietary pattern that is associated with a greater nutritional adequacy and a lower prevalence of overweight. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the degree of adherence to the MD among adolescent female athletes who participated in all disciplines of gymnastics in Greece, as well as to explore the potential correlations between MD adherence, body weight, and body mass index (BMI).
... Moreover, obesity/overweight was found to be associated with family socioeconomic status and number of siblings [19]. Other factors could include birth weight [20], breastfeeding [21], fast food consumption [22], or parents' smoking [23]. ...
... Studies investigating risk factors for childhood obesity/ overweight have focused mainly on high-income countries, and have shown some significant associations with certain factors, such as fast food consumption [22]. However, lower income countries may have different cultural and lifestyle settings. ...
... First, although 74% of the children preferred eating fast food most of the times and sometimes, such preference did not associate with higher zBMI. This result can perhaps be explained by family control over their child's diet for this age group, and it is consistent with the reported correlates of Ibrahim et al. [5] and the adolescent results of Braithwaite et al. [22]. Nonetheless, causalities and bias cannot be overruled. ...
Purpose: Childhood obesity and overweight are on the rise worldwide,
and Jordanian children are no exception to this rule. Childhood Obesity
has major implications on the physical and mental health of individuals, and
it can often develop into adult obesity. Obesity/overweight correlates have not
been researched extensively in the Middle East region, where Jordan is central.
This region is undergoing tremendous changes because of wars, globalization,
and the influux of refugees. The cultural and eating habits of the people are
changing along with demographical changes. Thus, timely research is required
to assess the current health state of this dynamic society. The main goal of
this study is to understand the environmental and cultural factors that are
associated with Body Mass Index (BMI) z score in elementary school children
in Jordan. Methods: A total of 1260 children enrolled in this descriptive,
cross sectional study. The study used a parental self-reporting questionnaire
that contains possible factors associated with BMI, zBMI, demographics, and
other pertinent information. Results: Several factors have been associated
with higher zBMI among elementary school children: if a child owns a smartphone
(p = 0:0037), uses electronics to play (p = 0:0301), uses electronics
for longer hours (p = 0:0065), eats food while using electronics or watching
TV (p < 0:0001 and p = 0:0304, respectively), sleeps less hours in weekends (p = 0:0051), was breastfed for lower number of months (p = 0:0067), lives in
rural areas (p = 0:0126), goes to a private school (p = 0:0344) and is a male
(p = 0:0069). Conclusion Investigating characteristics and environmental determinants
of child hood obesity play an essential role in establishing effective
intervention program and reduce future risks of morbidity.
