“…Similarly, the association between toxic habits and dieting could be interpreted as an increase in toxic habits among school children who report dieting. In 2012 we published, for this group of pupils, the association between excess weight and not breakfasting, as it was found that the crude OR for weight excess and not breakfasting of 1.44 (CI 95% 1.16 -1.80) was strengthened after adjustment by age, sex, family type, family stage, sedentarism and health zone: OR 1.54 (CI 95% 1.16 -2.05) [15].…”

Self-perception of body image is one factor to be considered when planning and performing preventive initiatives and interventions in childhood and adolescence. The aim of this study was to analyse self-perception of body image in relation to body-mass index, physical inactivity, not eating breakfast, dieting, smoking and alcohol consumption or toxic habits. Materials and Methods: using data from the "Quito municipal schools" cohort study 6964 students aged from 9 to 17 years were described using a multivariate log linear model of the multidimensional table generated by the variables. A logistic regression model was then fitted to assess associations via OR. Results: 8.2% perceived themselves as overweight. Of those subjects overweight according to their BMI, 21.8% perceived themselves as such, while among those not overweight according to BMI, 96.8% considered themselves as slim or of normal weight. Among students who were dieting, 15.1% perceived themselves as overweight. Among those pupils who perceived themselves has having excess weight, the most common reasons for dieting were: lose weight (56.8%), be healthier (22.6%), and maintain current weight (8.4%). Self-perception of excess weight interacts with excess weight (ORadjusted 8.42; CI95% 6.92-10.25), no breakfast (ORadjusted 2.83; CI95% 2.13-3.77), diet (ORadjusted 2.38; CI95% 1.95-2.89), and with all the variables except toxic habits (ORadjusted 1.01; CI95% 0.78 a 1.29). Conclusion: Interventions to prevent obesity in childhood and adolescence ought to take account of specific determinants within the personal, behavioural and socio-envi-N. Romero-Sandoval et al. 123 ronmental factors, such as the promotion of a positive body image.

“…(6,7) The causes of the increasing prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents are mainly associated with an increased caloric intake and reduced physical activity levels. (8,9) Regarding other associated factors, Orban et al (10) report that the family environment is associated with the development of these conditions, since it influences children and adolescents' food intake habits and lifestyles, and Romero et al (11) and Azar et al (12) state that social determinants such as the neighborhood characteristics and the socioeconomic level are related to the occurrence of these disorders in this population.…”

Introduction: Obesity is a global serious public health issue. According to the World Health Organization, insufficient physical activity and increased sedentary behaviors are the leading causes of this condition.Objective: To compare the time that overweight/obese and normal-weight adolescents spend in daily activities according to sex and the type of school they attend.Materials and methods: Quantitative and analytical research. 106 Chilean teenagers were assessed to determine their nutrition diagnosis based on their weight, height, pubertal development (Tanner stages) and body mass index. A written survey was used to collect data on how they spend their time in different activities during a typical day on weekdays. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test, in which two non-parametric samples are compared.Results: Statistically significant differences regarding the distribution of the time that adolescents devote to engaging in social participation and leisure time activities were observed: overweight/obese teenagers spend less time in these activities.Conclusion: the way that adolescents use their time could be considered as a risk factor for obesity that requires a deeper analysis. Overweight and obese adolescents have a low participation rate in social participation and leisure activities. Undoubtedly, how time is spent is increasingly regarded as a well-being indicator; therefore, further research should focus on the effectiveness of interventions based on the modification of daily routines.

“…Details of the study design may be found in publications which derived from it. [13][14][15] The overall prevalence of excess weight found was 26.6% (CI95% 25.8-27.4), varying with sex and age. 13 Attending a school belonging to a low-income city administrative district, being from a nuclear family (father, mother and children), eating alone, following a diet, not breakfasting, eating fast-food and sedentarism were all associated with excess weight.…”
