AbstractObjectiveTo explore the influences of migration to a Western country on obesity and related risk factors by comparing measures of body composition and energy balance-related behaviours between Turkish adolescents in Turkey (TR-TR) and adolescents from Turkish immigrant ethnicity in the Netherlands (TR-NL).DesignCross-sectional survey or baseline intervention data from six Dutch school-based studies and one Turkish study.SettingPrimary and secondary schools.SubjectsA total of 915 (49 % girls; mean age 13·1 (sd 0·8) years) TR-TR adolescents and 433 (51 % girls; mean age 11·7 (sd 1·3) years) TR-NL adolescents were included. Outcome measures were self-reported sugar-containing beverage consumption, fruit and vegetable intake, screen time, physical activity, measured body height and weight, BMI, waist and hip circumferences, and skinfold thicknesses.ResultsOur data showed that more TR-NL adolescents were overweight (31 % v. 26 %) and obese (9 % v. 6 %) and had significantly higher mean BMI (21·1 v. 20·0 kg/m2), waist circumference (72·2 v. 71·3 cm) and suprailiac skinfold thickness (19·8 v. 13·1 mm) than TR-TR adolescents. TR-NL adolescents reported significantly higher sugar-containing beverage consumption (1173 v. 115 ml/d), less fruit and vegetable intake (295 v. 647 g/d), less screen time (253 v. 467 min/d) and higher physical activity levels (61 v. 27 min/d) than TR-TR adolescents.ConclusionsImmigrant adolescents in the Netherlands were more often overweight and had a less favourable dietary pattern than their peers in Turkey, while their physical activity and screen time patterns were more favourable. These results suggest that adolescents from Turkish immigrant ethnicity in the Netherlands have adopted lifestyles towards the host culture.

AbstractNon-pathological levels of children’s co-occurring externalizing/internalizing problems in the school setting are not well characterized. We assessed associations between aggressive behavior and co-occurring externalizing/internalizing problems among schoolchildren in 39,936 teacher ratings from 4 population-based cohorts (FinnTwin12 from Finland, Generation R and the Netherlands Twin Register from the Netherlands, and the Twins Early Development Study from the UK). Correlations of aggressive behavior were high with other externalizing problems (0.47-0.80) and lower with internalizing problems (0.02-0.39). A negative association was seen with prosocial behavior, ranging -0.33 to -0.54. Although the mean levels of aggressive behavior differed significantly by gender, the correlations of aggressive behavior with co-occurring behaviors were notably more similar between the genders (e.g., aggressive-hyperactivity correlations: 0.51-0.75 boys, 0.47-0.70 girls). Comparisons are also discussed with respect to age, instrument/cohort, and parental ratings. These population-based European observations highlight the complexity of aggressive behavior at school, and can assist in creating appropriate interventions.

The present study aims to investigate whether support from a friend protects against the negative effects of ethnic harassment on engagement in delinquent and violent behaviors among immigrant adolescents in Sweden ( n = 365; X = 13.93, SD = .80). We found that when ethnically harassed immigrant adolescents received friend support, they were less likely to engage in problem behaviors concurrently. Yet, friend support did not moderate the longitudinal associations between ethnic harassment and problem behaviors. These findings highlight the important role of supportive friendship relations in counteracting the detrimental effects of ethnic harassment on externalizing problems, particularly in the short term.
