The Relationship

The decline in physical activity (PA) across adolescence is well established but influence of biological maturity on the process has been largely overlooked. This paper reviews the limited number of studies which examine the relationship between timing of biological maturity and PA. Results are generally inconsistent among studies. Other health-related behaviors are also considered in an effort to highlight the complexity of relationships between biological maturation and behavior and to provide future research directions.

The Relationship

This study examined mediating effects of body weight control behaviors in the relationship between body weight perception and health-related behaviors among 11,458 U.S. adolescents from the 2010 National Youth Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey. Parallel multiple mediation analysis was performed for the secondary data analysis. Nearly one third of adolescents (32.5%) had overweight or obesity; one quarter (25.0%) perceived themselves as slightly overweight and 5.1% thought they were very overweight. More girls (58.6%) had tried to lose weight than boys (32.3%), while boys were more physically active than girls. Healthy and unhealthy weight control behaviors significantly mediated the relationship between adolescents’ body weight perception and health-related behaviors (physical activity and screen time). Teachers and parents should help adolescents have accurate weight perception and utilize reliable and healthy weight control strategies. Future studies should consider the intercorrelated relationships among adolescents’ perceptions and behaviors regarding weight to provide successful weight control intervention programs.

Inform Resource Allocation

Background: Increasing use of the Quality-Adjusted Life-Year to inform resource allocation decision-making has highlighted the importance of relating clinical and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Objective and Methods: To investigate the relationship between the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and HRQoL utility, using the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L). The discriminatory power of the EQ-5D-5L was assessed using Shannon’s indices. Results: A linear decline in utility was observed with changes in EDSS score from 0 to 6, after which point the relationship exhibited greater variability. Mean utility values ranged from −0.22 at EDSS 9 to 0.88 at EDSS 0. We found that the discriminative capacity of the EQ-5D-5L was considerably lower for the domains self-care and anxiety/depression, compared with other health-related domains. Conclusion: In its first reported use in an MS population, the EQ-5D-5L displayed good discriminatory capacity, although performance differed between the various domains of health, with evidence of a ceiling effect present in the domains of self-care and anxiety/depression. The EQ-5D-5L demonstrated a high correlation with EDSS in our MS cohort up to EDSS 6, after which point the utility valuation of severe health states exhibited much greater variability. Utility estimates from this study may be used in economic evaluations of disease-modifying therapies in MS, to inform resource-allocation decisions.
