Peer discrimination of obese children. Research conducted based on a programme for dealing with aggression organised for children attending elementary school

ObjectivesHealthy-weight children tend to gain weight during winter but lose weight during summer. However, overweight elementary school children have shown accelerated summertime weight gain. Whether this seasonal growth variation occurs during preschool period is of substantial interest.MethodsData were derived from a nationwide retrospective cohort of nursery school children. Eight consecutive sets of longitudinal measurements on height and weight were obtained from 15 259 preschool children. Thereafter, growth in height, weight and body mass index (BMI) over a period of 6 months was calculated. Summertime growth was defined as that from April to October, whereas wintertime growth was defined as that from October to April of the following year. Longitudinal growth seasonality was analysed by classifying children according to their BMI status at the age of elementary school entry.ResultsAccelerated summertime weight and BMI gain were observed among children with obesity. This distinctive growth seasonality was detected from around age 2. Children having this growth seasonality at approximately 2 years of age tended to be obese at the age of elementary school entry (OR: 3.7; 95% CI: 2.9 to 4.6; p<0.0001). In height gain, obese children were growing apparently faster than those in the other groups at all ages.ConclusionEarly excessive growth with distinct seasonality was observed in preschool obese children. These findings suggest that individuals involved in child healthcare should pay closer attention to early excessive growth with distinct seasonality in preschool obesity.

36 elementary school children (20 subjects were below and 16 subjects above 15% overweight) completed a self-esteem and body-esteem questionnaire. The Body-esteem Scale was reliable and suitable for children as young as 7 yr. Body-esteem shared a significant amount of variance with self-esteem and percentage overweight. Although body-esteem and relative weight were correlated, self-esteem and relative weight were not significantly related. Furthermore, body-esteem and self-esteem were not differentially related for 20 normals versus 16 obese children in this sample.

Fitness Tests

Motor competence and physical fitness are key components for the promotion of an active and healthy lifestyle. Poor motor competence and low physical fitness in children, therefore, are a major threat to future public health. Even though the assessment of physical fitness and motor competence per se does not enhance these entities, fitness tests can provide important information for intervention strategies. Fitness tests may also motivate children to become more active in order to increase their physical abilities. In the school-year 2016/17 the Upper Austrian government initiated the state-wide testing program “wie fit bist du” (how fit are you) in elementary schools, that examined cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular power, speed, agility, flexibility and object control skills along with the assessment of height and weight. Since the beginning of the program more than 18,000 children between 6 and 11 years of age participated in the school-based tests. The results show a significant increase in the prevalence of overweight/obesity with increasing age (p > 0.01). Overweight/obese children displayed lower motor competence and physical fitness, except for upper body strength. Further, the improvement in test performance with increasing age was less pronounced in overweight/obese children compared to their normal weight peers. In fact, distance covered during the 6-min run did not improve throughout the elementary school years in overweight/obese children. Given the importance of motor competence and physical fitness for general development and well-being, physical education should be considered a viable setting for the promotion of these entities as a majority of children can be reached independent of their socio-economic background. In order to provide adequate movement experiences that enhance motor competence and physical fitness while ensuring a motivating environment, objective information on current ability levels are required. The implementation of fitness monitoring at young ages, therefore, can be an important contributor for the promotion of an active and healthy lifestyle.

SDN 120 Pekanbaru is a school located on Jalan Pesisir Ujung RT 3/RW 9 District of Rumbai Pesisir, Kota Pekanbaru, Riau Province. After the survey, this school did not have Usaha Kesehatan Sekolah (UKS) and there were still many students who did not yet have the knowledge and implementation of good health. To solve health problems, the authors provide a solution in the form of a children's health education club called SUPERMAN to be implemented in the school. SUPERMAN is a program with a new concept created to direct elementary school age children to be more concerned with Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) and the nutrition. The method used in the implementation program is through lectures, training, mentoring, games, and direct applications. The results achieved at this time are the SUPERMAN club has been formed with Semua Sehat; Perbaiki Lemak Dulu; Enaknya di Ruangan; Roar di Outdoor; and Mantap Badanku, Sehat Tubuhku (evidenced by the club's formation certificate, management decree, and club guidebook), members' nutritional status books (there are 6 obese children (21%)), there are five posters and brochures, and the documentation. After this activity was carried out, there wqas an increase in studeny knowledge by 20%.

Prevalence Of Obesity ◽

Sedentary Activities

ABSTRACT Background: According to Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2010 the prevalence of obesity in Yogyakarta was 78% in 2010. Increasing prevalence of obesity in school children is mainly related to sedentary activities and decreasing medium-high physical activities. Objective: To ﬁ nd out whether sedentary behavior was risk factor for obesity in school children and identify the level of its contribution. Method: The study used case-control design. Population consisted of elementary school (either state or private) children of grade 1-5 at Yogyakarta and Bantul. The selection of school during screening phase was based on probability proportional to size (PPS) method. The choice of cases in children diagnosed obese during screening phase used simple random sampling supported with random table tool and matching of school. Based on sample basic calculation there were 488 samples consisting of 244 cases and 244 controls. Data of physical activities were obtained through modiﬁ ed questionnaire on children’s physical activities (CPAQ). Data were processed using software of Epidata v 3.1 and STATA v.11. Analysis used univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis with t-test, anova, and logistic regression. Result: Duration of sedentary behavior in obese students was longer than those not obese with average difference 49.81 minutes/day (p<0.01). The result of Chi-square analysis showed sedentary activities had signiﬁ cant correlation with the incidence of obesity with OR=6.93 (95%CI: 4.56-10.54). Based on types of sedentary activities, there was signiﬁ cant correlation for category of screen based and sitting around (p<0.05). Conclusion: Sedentary behavior was risk factor for the incidence of obesity in elementary school children. Average duration of sedentary activities of obese children was higher than those not obese. Based on residency, average duration of sedentary activities of obese children in urban area was higher than those living in rural area. KEYWORDS: physical activities, overweight, rural, urban, elementary school children ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Berdasarkan Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) tahun 2010, prevalensi obesitas di Yogyakarta adalah 78% pada tahun 2010. Peningkatan prevalensi obesitas pada anak sekolah sangat berkaitan dengan aktivitas sedentari dan berkurangnya aktivitas ﬁ sik. Tujuan: Untuk Mengetahui apakah perilaku sedentari merupakan faktor risiko terhadap obesitas anak sekolah dan mengidentiﬁ kasi seberapa besar kontribusinya. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kasus kontrol. Populasi terdiri dari anak-anak sekolah dasar (baik negeri maupun swasta) kelas 1-5 di Yogyakarta dan Bantul. Pemilihan sekolah selama fase skrining berdasarkan metode probability proportional to size (PPS). Kasus adalah anak-anak yang didiagnosis obesitas pada saat fase skrining, menggunakan simple random sampling didukung dengan tabel random dan dilakukan matching pada sekolah tersebut. Berdasarkan perhitungan sampel, terdapat 488 sampel yang terdiri dari 244 kasus dan 244 kontrol. Data aktivitas ﬁsik diperoleh menggunakan formulir CPAQ. Data diproses menggunakan Epidata v 3.1 and STATA v.11. Analisa data yang digunakan adalah univariat, bivariat, and analisa multivariat dengan t-test, anova, dan logistic regression. Hasil: Durasi perilaku sedentari pada siswa obesitas lebih lama dibandingkan mereka yang tidak obesitas dengan ratarata perbedaan 49,81 menit/hari (p<0,01). Hasil analisis Chi-square menunjukkan perilaku sedentari memiliki hubungan yang signiﬁkan dengan kejadian obesitas dengan OR=6.93 (95%CI: 4,56-10,54). Berdasarkan jenis perilaku sedentari, terdapat hubungan yang signiﬁkan untuk kategori screen based dan duduk-duduk (p <0,05). Kesimpulan: Perilaku sedentari merupakan faktor risiko terhadap kejadian obesitas pada anak-anak sekolah dasar. Rata-rata durasi perilaku sedentari pada anak yang obes lebih tinggi dibandingkan anak yang tidak obes. Berdasarkan tempat tinggal, rata-rata durasi perilaku sedentari pada anak obes di kota lebih tinggi dibandingkan yang di desa. KATA KUNCI: aktivitas ﬁ sik, overweight, desa, kota, anak SD

ABSTRACT Background: Obesity in Indonesian school children is increasing dramatically especially in the cities. Whether TV viewing has an important role to the increased obesity prevalence Indonesia is still unclear. Objective: To examine TV viewing as a risk factor of obesity in Indonesian elementary school children. Method: A case-control study of 244 obese and 244 non obese children was conducted in Yogyakarta municipality in 2012. Cases were elementary school children with BMI/Age >95 percentile identiﬁ ed in previous survey. Controls were children from the same class and seating at the right side nearest to the cases. Weight of the children was measured using a calibrated digital weighing scale (SECA) with precision of 0.1 kg, while standing height was measured using a microtoice with precision of 0.1 cm by trained nutritionists. Data on TV viewing were collected using one-week physical activity recall questionnaires. BMI of the study subjects were computed using WHO Anthro2005 software. Statistical analysis was done using STATA 11th edition software. Result: Children with TV viewing ≥2 hours/day were 3 (OR=3.3, 95%CI: 2.2-4.8) times more likely to be obese than children with TV viewing <2 hours/day. Parental regulation of tv viewing was associated with child’s TV viewing duration. Conclusion: Duration of TV viewing was signiﬁ cantly associated with the increased risk of obesity in elementary school children. The existence of parental regulation would help to reduce TV viewing duration leading to the reduction of obesity prevalence in school children. KEYWORDS: obesity, elementary school children, TV viewing ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Obesitas pada anak-anak sekolah Indonesia meningkat sangat drastis terutama di kota-kota. Apakah menonton TV memiliki peran penting terhadap peningkatan prevalensi obesitas Indonesia masih belum jelas. Tujuan: Untuk menguji menonton TV sebagai faktor risiko obesitas pada anak-anak sekolah dasar di Indonesia. Metode: Sebuah studi kasus-kontrol dari 244 obesitas dan 244 anak non obesitas dilakukan di Kota Yogyakarta pada tahun 2012. Kasus adalah anak-anak SD dengan BMI/Umur >persentil ke-95 diidentiﬁ kasi dalam survei sebelumnya. Kontrol adalah anak-anak dari kelas yang sama dan duduk di sisi kanan terdekat dengan kasus. Berat anak-anak diukur dengan menggunakan timbangan digital (SECA) yang telah dikalibrasi dengan presisi 0,1 kg, sedangkan tinggi berdiri diukur dengan menggunakan microtoice dengan presisi 0,1 cm oleh ahli gizi terlatih. Data menonton TV dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner aktivitas ﬁ sik selama satu minggu. BMI dari subjek penelitian dihitung dengan menggunakan software WHO Anthro 2005. Analisis statistik dilakukan dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak STATA edisi 11. Hasil: Anak-anak yang menonton TV ≥ 2 jam / hari cenderung 3 (OR = 3,3, 95% CI: 2,2-4,8) kali lebih gemuk daripada anak-anak dengan menonton TV <2 jam/hari. Peraturan orangtua menonton TV dikaitkan dengan durasi menonton TV anak Kesimpulan: Durasi menonton TV secara bermakna dikaitkan dengan peningkatan risiko obesitas pada anak-anak sekolah dasar. Adanya peraturan orangtua akan membantu mengurangi durasi menonton TV yang mengarah ke pengurangan prevalensi obesitas pada anak-anak sekolah. KATA KUNCI: obesitas, anak-anak SD, menonton TV
