“…Adolescents in group N had a worse perception of their oral health than did those in group O because there were positive associations with Eating, Cleaning mouth and Smiling ( Table 3). The low perception of health-related quality of life in group O differs from that of other studies 31,32 , in which overweight/obesity was associated with worse quality of life. However, in this study, group O adolescents had lower dental caries activity than did adolescents in group N, which, in turn, could explain the low perception in the Child-OIDP.…”

“…This finding indicates that negative emotions and rest related issues are the most well-known issues among Iranian children and these health problems should be considered by health-care professionals. [31] In our study, age was not related to HRQOL in primary school children of Tehran. Although in previous studies (in children 8-18) HRQOL declined with age [32] this finding could be due to selecting participant from a narrow range of age in this study.…”

“…Additionally, in this study we found that the total and physical summary scores were lower in the underweight group, particularly among older children. This contrasts with several studies which report no significant difference in HRQOL between underweight and healthy weight children [25, 34, 35]. Again, this could be linked to cultural influences; if heaviness is taken to be a sign of health, growth and prosperity, then underweight may indicate poor health and poverty, and thus lead to a lower quality of life.…”

BackgroundTo investigate the association between weight status and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among pupils in Guangzhou, China.MethodsThe study comprised 5781 children aged 8–12 years from 29 schools. Height and weight were objectively measured using standardized methods, and BMI z-score derived using the age and sex specific WHO reference 2007 for 5–19 years. Weight status was classified as underweight (<−2SD), healthy weight (between -2SD and 1SD), overweight/obesity (>1SD). HRQOL was measured by the self-report version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0.ResultsAfter controlling for gender, age, school type, parental education, and family income, HRQOL scores were significantly lower in overweight/obese compared with healthy weight children only in the social functioning domain (β = −1.93, p = 0.001). Compared with healthy weight children, underweight children had significantly lower total (β = −1.47, p = 0.05) and physical summary scores (β = −2.18, p = 0.02). Subgroup analysis for gender indicated that compared to healthy weight, total (β = −1.96, p = 0.02), psychosocial (β = −2.40, p = 0.01), social functioning (β = −3.36, p = 0.001), and school functioning (β = −2.19, p = 0.03) scores were lower in overweight/obese girls, but not boys. On the other hand, being underweight was associated with lower physical functioning (β = −2.27, p = 0.047) in girls, and lower social functioning (β = −3.63, p = 0.01) in boys. The associations were mainly observed in children aged 10 and over, but were not significant in younger children. Children from private schools had generally lower HRQOL compared to those in public schools, but the associations with weight status were similar in both groups.ConclusionsThe relationship between overweight/obesity and HRQOL in children in China is not as prominent as that seen in children in western or high-income countries. However, there appears to be gender and age differences, with more of an impact of overweight on HRQOL in girls and older children compared with boys and younger children. Underweight is also associated with lower HRQOL. Future intervention to prevent both obesity and undernutrition may have a positive impact on the HRQOL in children in China.
