“…However, previous studies have shown that parental weight status is associated with children's movement behaviors. For example, Angoorani and colleagues [42] found higher odds of having low PA level and high ST in children whose parents were overweight or obese. One possible explanation for our results could be that parental obesogenic behaviors (e.g., insu cient PA, overuse of electronic devices) and shared home environment (e.g., television in bedroom, a variety of household electronic devices) are associated with decreased level of PA, excessive ST, and short sleep duration in children [43][44][45].…”

Background: There are limited studies on the prevalence of adherence to the combined guidelines for physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior, and sleep in children and adolescents. Moreover, little is known about correlates of adherence to the guidelines. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to examine the prevalence and identify the correlates of adherence to the combined movement guidelines among children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 355 children and 324 adolescents from the Czech Republic participated in this study. PA and sleep duration were estimated using multi-day 24-hour raw data from wrist-worn accelerometers. Recreational screen time was self-reported. Sixteen potential correlates were grouped into three homogenous categories for biological and cognitive, behavioral, and family correlates. The multi-level multivariable regression was applied to identify correlates of adherence to combined movement guidelines and to specific combinations of any of two recommendations.Results: Approximately 6.5% of children and 2.2% of adolescents met all recommendations of the combined movement guidelines. Paternal overweight and obesity was significantly associated with adherence to the combined movement guidelines in children (OR = 0.3; 95% CI = 0.1–0.7). Additionally, children had higher odds of meeting specific combinations of two recommendations if they reported healthy diet, participated in organized PA, or if their fathers had a university degree. Meanwhile, paternal overweight and obesity, and high sleep efficiency were associated with lower odds of meeting specific combinations of recommendations. In adolescents, healthy diet, organized PA, and active play were associated with higher odds of meeting specific combinations of any two recommendations. Conclusions: A low proportion of children and adolescents met the combined movement guidelines and several correlates related to family were identified. Family is a key source of influence for healthy movement behaviors during childhood and adolescence.

“…Increasing prevalence of obesity, a risk factor for metabolic disorders, is one of the most public health problems all over the world. During the past decades, more consumption of high calorie foods and inactive lifestyle, has led to increasing prevalence of obesity and related metabolic risks including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases among children and adolescents . Since childhood obesity increases the risk of onset of obesity‐related metabolic disorders in adulthood, early diagnosis and management of childhood obesity is critically important for public health.…”

Background: Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is regarded as a simple anthropometric index for evaluating central adiposity because of its independence of age, gender, and ethnicity.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal WHtR cutoff value in screening obesity and to compare it with other obesity indicators including body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in Iranian children and adolescents.Methods: This large survey was conducted on 14 274 Iranian children and adolescents as a national school-based surveillance study (CASPIAN) in 2015. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to estimate the optimal cut-off points of WHtR for the prediction of general and central obesity. The area under curve (AUC) was used to compare the ability of WHtR cut-off points, BMI and WC percentiles to discriminate students with and without obesity according to age and sex.Results: The optimal WHtR cutoff value for predicting general obesity was 0.49 and 0.48 for boys and girls, respectively and for central obesity according to WC ≥ 90th percentile was 0.50 for both genders. AUC values of WHtR for predicting general and central obesity were 87% and 96%, which indicates its strong predictive ability.For central obesity, the AUCs of WHtR were superior to those of WC percentiles.The kappa agreement coefficient was 0.55 between WC ≥ 90th percentile and WHtR ≥ 0.5. Conclusions:The WHtR ≥ 0.5 as a simple and useful screening tool is better than WC, for predicting general and central obesity in different age and sex groups of Iranian children and adolescents. K E Y W O R D S children and adolescents, obesity, waist-to-height ratio Mostafa Qorbani and Ramin Heshmat contributed equally to this study.

“…The childhood obesity epidemic has increased dramatically over the past decades in parallel with an increase in prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children and adolescents [ 1 , 2 ]. In Iran during the past decades, transition towards a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy dietary pattern, has resulted in higher prevalence of MetS and its complications, especially among children and adolescents [ 3 – 5 ]. MetS in childhood can promote the risk of chronic diseases including diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), so early diagnosis and age-specific interventions have a substantial benefit in the prevention of its complications in adulthood [ 6 ].…”

BackgroundNon-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) is considered as a valuable predictor for dyslipidemia and subclinical atherosclerosis which can be an appropriate index for identifying individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS).ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between non-HDL-C MetS and determine the optimal cut-points of non-HDL-C fractions for identifying MetS in Iranian children and adolescents.MethodsThis nationwide study was conducted in the framework of the fifth survey of a national school-based surveillance program on children and adolescents aged 7–18 years. MetS was defined by the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria modified for the pediatric age group. The analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to determine the optimal cut-points of non-HDL-C, difference between non-HDL-C and LDL-C (Diff-C) and triglycerides (TG) to HDL-C ratio (TG/HDL-C) for the prediction of MetS.ResultsOverall, the study participants consisted of 3843 students (52.3% boys) with mean (±SD) age of 12.28 (3.1) years. The odds of high LDL-C, low HDL-C and MetS were increased in subjects with higher non-HDL-C, Diff-C and TG/HDL-C (P < 0.05). Non-HDL-C, Diff-C and TG/HDL-C cut-off points for predicting MetS were 120.5 mg/dl (sensitivity: 44%, specificity: 73%), 19.9 mg/dl (sensitivity: 85%, specificity: 75%) and 2.53 (sensitivity: 82%, specificity: 79%), respectively.ConclusionsThis study revealed a strong association between surrogates for serum lipid profile including non-HDL-C, TG/HDL-C and Diff-C and pediatric MetS. Our findings suggest that age- and gender-specific reference values of these markers were appropriate for both risk classification and long-term control of cardiovascular events in clinical assessments.

The association of parental obesity with physical activity and sedentary behaviors of their children: the CASPIAN-V study

Abstract: This study showed that parental obesity was associated with increased screen-based activities and low physical activity in children. Focus on parental weight status, as an important factor influenced by their lifestyle, can be helpful for preventing sedentary behaviors in their children.
