Treatment of obesity, with a dietary component, and eating disorder risk in children and adolescents: A systematic review with meta‐analysis

et al. 2019

Summary This review aimed to investigate the impact of obesity treatment, with a dietary component, on eating disorder (ED) prevalence, ED risk, and related symptoms in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. Four databases were searched to identify pediatric obesity treatment interventions, with a dietary component, and validated pre‐post intervention assessment of related outcomes. Of 3078 articles screened, 36 met inclusion criteria, with a combined sample of 2589 participants aged 7.8 to 16.9 years. Intervention duration ranged from 1 week to 13 months, with follow‐up of 6 months to 6 years from baseline. Prevalence of ED was reported in five studies and was reduced post‐intervention. Meta‐analyses showed a reduction in bulimic symptoms (eight studies, standardized mean difference [SE], −0.326 [0.09], P < 0.001), emotional eating (six studies, −0.149 [0.06], P = 0.008), binge eating (three studies, −0.588 [0.10], P < 0.001), and drive for thinness (three studies, −0.167 [0.06], P = 0.005) post‐intervention. At follow‐up, a reduction in ED risk (six studies, −0.313 [0.13], P = 0.012), emotional eating (five studies, −0.259 [0.05], P < 0.001), eating concern (three studies, −0.501 [0.06], P < 0.001), and drive for thinness (two studies, −0.375 [0.07], P < 0.001) was found. Structured and professionally run obesity treatment was associated with reduced ED prevalence, ED risk, and symptoms.

Pediatric obesity treatment, self‐esteem, and body image: A systematic review with meta‐analysis

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Summary Background Pediatric obesity impacts on multiple domains of psychological health, including self‐esteem and body image. Objective To determine the effect of multicomponent pediatric obesity treatment interventions on self‐esteem and body image. Methods A systematic search of published literature up to June 2019 was undertaken using electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and PsychINFO. Eligible studies implemented an obesity treatment intervention, including a dietary and physical activity component with/without a behavioral component, in children and adolescents with overweight/obesity, and assessed self‐esteem and/or body image. Data were extracted by one reviewer and cross‐checked. Meta‐analysis was used to combine outcome data and moderator analysis conducted to identify intervention characteristics influencing outcomes. Results 64 studies were identified. Meta‐analysis of 49 studies (n = 10471) indicated that pediatric obesity treatment results in increased self‐esteem postintervention (standardized mean difference, [SE] 0.34 [0.03], P < .001, I2 87%), maintained at follow‐up (0.35 [0.05] P < .001, I2 79%, 17 studies). Similarly, meta‐analysis of 40 studies (n = 2729) indicated improvements in body image postintervention (0.40 [0.03], P < .001, I2 73%), maintained at follow‐up (0.41 [0.08], P < .001, I2 89%, 16 studies). Conclusions Pediatric obesity treatment improves self‐esteem and body image in the short and medium term. These findings may underpin improvements in other psychological outcomes.

“…The MaNuEL research framework is specific to older adults. In contrast, AND conducted a systematic review on the validity, agreement, and reliability of tools to screen all adults for malnutrition regardless of age, medical history, or physical location (care setting) using AND's evidence analysis process [26]; 69 studies met their inclusion criteria. The SCREEN II was not evaluated in AND's review.…”

Screening Community-Living Older Adults for Protein Energy Malnutrition and Frailty: Update and Next Steps

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM)/undernutrition and frailty are prevalent, overlapping conditions impacting on functional and health outcomes of older adults, but are frequently unidentified and untreated in community settings in the United States. Using the World Health Organization criteria for effective screening programs, we reviewed validity, reliability, and feasibility of data-driven screening tools for identifying PEM and frailty risk among community-dwelling older adults. The SCREEN II is recommended for PEM screening and the FRAIL scale is recommended as the most promising frailty screening tool, based on test characteristics, cost, and ease of use, but more research on both tools is needed, particularly on predictive validity of favorable outcomes after nutritional/physical activity interventions. The Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) has been recommended by one expert group as a screening tool for all adults, regardless of age/care setting. However, it has not been tested in US community settings, likely yields large numbers of false positives (particularly in community settings), and its predictive validity of favorable outcomes after nutritional interventions is unknown. Community subgroups at highest priority for screening are those at increased risk due to prior illness, certain demographics and/or domiciliary characteristics, and those with BMI < 20 kg/m 2 or < 22 if > 70 years or recent unintentional weight loss > 10% (who are likely already malnourished). Community-based health professionals can better support healthy aging by increasing their awareness/use of PEM and frailty screening tools, prioritizing high-risk populations for systematic screening, following screening with more definitive diagnoses and appropriate interventions, and re-evaluating and revising screening protocols and measures as more data become available.
