The objective of this study is to identify the factors influence on body mass index such as parental feeding attitude, style and environment among overweight and obese school children.

Background: In India under nutrition was common but off late overweight and obesity, the diseases of over nutrition, has gained a foothold.Methods: This is a cross sectional study done in schools of Greater Noida city to see the food habits of adolescents and assess its impact on health in terms of being overweight and obesity. A total of 600 school children were included in the study.  4.0% (24) students were found to be obese while 12.8% (77) were overweight. Results: In this study, boys were more commonly overweight (44 out of 353, 7.3%) than girls (33 out of 247, 5.5%) while obesity prevalence was comparable in both the sexes (11 out of 353 i.e. 1.8% in boys and 13 out of 247 i.e. 2.1% in girls).Conclusions: Pearson’s correlation shows that BMI is significantly related to all the asked dietary habits at 0.05 levels and it is the frequency of having meals outside or skipping breakfast that is important.

The Status

 Introduction: Childhood obesity, caused due to excessive fat accumulation, is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths associated with several non-communicable diseases. In Nepal, there is limited data available on the status of overweight and obesity among school children. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of childhood overnutrition among school going children in a municipality. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2019 to July 2019, in four schools of a municipality selected by simple random sampling. Ethical approval was obtained from Nepal Health Research Council (Registration number 380/2019). Data was collected using census sampling from children aged 5-18 years through self-administered questionnaires to the children’s parents. The data was entered into the Statistical Package for Social Sciences for analysis. Point estimate at 95% confidence interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Results: Out of 379 school children, the prevalence of overnutrition was found to be 38 (10.03%) (95% Confidence Interval= 7.01-13.05). Prevalence of overnutrition was highest in children of age group 10-13 years 23 (60.5%), in females 27 (71.1%), those consuming junk food 4-6 times weekly 14 (36.8%) and those performing daily physical activity less than 60 minutes 24 (63.2%). Conclusions: The prevalence of childhood overnutrition is similar in comparison to other studies done in similar settings.

The Relationship

Abstract Background and Aims We describe the relationship between overweight and obesity and Hypertension on ABPM. Method We conducted a cross-sectional study using a database of patients aged 6-16 years, who had undergone 24h ABPM from December 2002 through December 2016. ABPM were performed using the validated device Spacelab 90217. Were evaluated the 24h MAP, daytime MAP, nocturnal MAP, systolic and diastolic load, MAP Systolic and Diastolic. Subjects were grouped by BMI Z-score into overweight (>1<2), obese (BMI Z-score >2<3) and severe obese (BMI Z-score >3). A total of 1016 patients were enrolled and recorded n.1210 ABPMs. Obese pts were 202 (19.8%); 126 M;76F;median age 10,2 y. Overweight childrens were 97 (11.9%);52 M;45F;median age 8,4y. Results Among overweight childrens (BMI Z-Score >1<2): 12 (12.3%) had hypertension, 22 (22.6%) pre-hypertension, 15 (15.4%) MH; non dipping pattern was recorded in 26 (52%). 48 were normotensive. Among obese childrens, 122 had hypertension (60.3%): 24 pts had Masked Hypertension (19.6%); 72 (59.0%) had severe ambulatory hypertension with BMI z-score >3 (mean 3.8) ,and in this category all pts were both systolic and diastolic non dipping. 32 (64%) obese with BMI z-score >2, <3 were non-dipping. Diastolic load was significantly higher (p>0,0001) in severe obese. 28 pts had ambulatory prehypertension (13.8%), 11 pts had White Coat Hypertension (4.9%).41 pts had normotension (20.2%). Conclusion The severity of ambulatory hypertension increased with increased BMI Z-score. The non-dipping status is associated, not only with higher BMI Z-score, but was present in overweight and obese with BMI z-score >2<3 also. ABPM is an effective tool that should become routine in all obese patient, but also in overweight childrens, which may lead to better treatments and prevention methods.
