“…A school-based intervention can reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and may affect eating habits at home 32 . Specifically, they recorded a decrease in the prevalence of overweight and obesity by 3.2% and 14.0%, respectively, after an intervention in which eating healthy food and being physically active was encouraged in five schools.…”

Abstract--This study investigated the efficacy of using a diary to record daily routines, combined with guidance on healthy lifestyle (GHL) by a physical educator, on promoting changes in health parameters in children. Sixty-three children (10 ± 0.8 years) were allocated to one of the three following groups: a control group (CON, n = 18); a group that did not use the diary, but received GHL (G, n = 23); or a group that both used the diary and received GHL (DG, n = 22). Blood pressure, body composition, physical fitness tests (PF), physical activity levels (PAL), and dietary intake profiles were assessed in children and their parents before and after 2 months of intervention. The DG group improved their performance in PF, increased PAL, and reduced body fat (p < 0.05). Additionally, 56% of families from both DG and G reduced their consumption of unhealthy foods and 70,6% increased their consumption of healthy foods. Overall, it was concluded that 2 months of using a diary to record daily routines combined with GHL by a physical educator improved PAL, PF, body composition, and dietary intake profiles of children and their families.

Aim: A negative effect of massive weight loss is the development of excess skin. Excess skin causes both physical and psychological problems for those affected and their families. The overall aim of this thesis was to improve the knowledge of the prevalence and associated problems of excess skin in post bariatric patients and to evaluate the outcome of abdominoplasty regarding HRQL. Patients and methods:A literature search was performed to evaluate the quality of evidence for health benefits of abdominoplasty. Thereafter, adult post bariatric patients were sent the Sahlgrenska Excess Skin Questionnaire (SESQ) together with a study specific questionnaire to evaluate their experience with excess skin regarding physical, functional and psychosocial impairments, amount and discomfort regarding the same and requested and undergone body contouring surgery. Further, post bariatric adolescents answered the same questionnaires as the adults, and measurements of excess skin were performed. Finally, post bariatric patients undergoing abdominoplasty answered the Short Form-36 (SF-36), a modified version of SESQ and the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) before and one year after abdominoplasty. Prior to the surgery, all study participants were randomly assigned to either undergo or not undergo rectus fascia plication, and measurement of the amount of abdominal excess skin was performed.Results: The quality of evidence of positive health effects for patients undergoing abdominoplasty was very low regarding HRQL. Most of the post bariatric patients, including both adolescents and adults of both genders, reported that they suffered from excess skin in several body parts. The majority of the post bariatric patients also requested body contouring surgery. Abdominoplasty increased the physical function subscale of the SF-36 and all 10 items regarding physical, functional and psychosocial impairments of the SESQ. However, plication did not influence the outcome of abdominoplasty regarding HRQL. In addition, low correlations were found between the measured amount of abdominal excess skin and discomfort with the same or change in the physical function subscale of SF-36 following abdominoplasty. Conclusions:Most of the post bariatric patients seem to suffer greatly from excess skin independent of sex or age, and a majority request body contouring surgery at several body sites. Abdominoplasty appears to improve physical and psychosocial dimensions of HRQL. However, the impact of the preoperative measured amount of abdominal excess skin on the improvements in HRQL is low.Keywords: Post bariatric patients, massive weight loss, excess skin, body contouring surgery, health related quality of life, plication, abdominal rectus fascia ISBN: 978-91-628-9139-8 (tryckt)

“…Similar to our study, they observed some positive trends in the healthy eating of the intervention group, which were not significant. Some other studies also did not observe any differences in healthy nutritional behaviors between the intervention and control groups after the nutrition education intervention (24)(25)(26). In previous studies, using behavioral changes models and theories resulted in acceptable changes in children, and their constructs can act as mediators to translate knowledge to behavior (27,28).…”

A B S T R A C T Background and Objectives:Regarding the high prevalence of unhealthy food habits among Iranian children, we aimed to assess the effect of a school-based nutrition education program on nutritional status of primary school students in Shiraz. Materials and Methods:This randomized educational controlled trial was carried out on 221 primary school age children selected by cluster sampling in the elementary schools of Shiraz-Iran. The intervention consisted of 6 nutrition education sessions carried out through one year for children, using active learning methods. Mothers' education was carried out in person in both lecture and question-answer sessions also via sending text messages and pamphlets. Weight, height and waist circumference (WC) of children were measured before and after the intervention. Also a 168-item food frequency questionnaire was completed. Two separate nutrition knowledge questionnaires were filled up by children and their mothers. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16.Results: 171 children (83 in the case and 88 in the control group), aged 9.5-10.5 years, completed the study. Anthropometric and nutritional knowledge of the participants in both the intervention and control groups was significantly increased. Weight, height, WC and nutritional knowledge increased significantly more in the intervention group compared to the controls. Consumption of fruits and vegetables decreased in the intervention group while plain sugar and fast foods intake increased among the controls. There were no significant differences between the changes in the intake of any of the food groups in the two groups. Conclusions:In conclusion, the designed nutrition education program could increase students' nutritional knowledge, and lead to a non-significant change towards reducing the consumption of unhealthy foods such as fast foods, sweets and salty snacks.
