“…In accordance with previous findings (Ricciardelli & McCabe, ), we observed a prevalence of any DEBs of 7.0%, and we did not observe significant sex differences. Also, in line with the existing evidence, we observed that childhood overweight was associated with DEBs (Forrester‐Knauss et al, ; Munkholm et al, ; Neumark‐Sztainer et al, ; Stice et al, ). According to our hypothesis, we expected the risk of DEBs to be higher in children born SGA and who were overweight at age 1 and 7 years as compared with the reference.…”

“…In a recent study of 11‐ to 12‐year‐olds, we observed that overweight co‐occurred with DEBs (Larsen, Strandberg‐Larsen, Olsen, Micali, & Nybo Andersen, ). This is in line with increasing evidence showing that childhood overweight predicts later onset of DEBs (Forrester‐Knauss, Perren, & Alsaker, ; Micali et al, ; Munkholm et al, ; Neumark‐Sztainer et al, ; Neumark‐Sztainer, Paxton, Hannan, Haines, & Story, ; Reed, Micali, Bulik, Smith, & Wade, ; Stice, Presnell, & Spangler, ; Wiklund et al, ). However, not all research concurs; other studies report no association between childhood body mass index (BMI) and DEBs in early adolescence (Evans et al, ; Gardner, Stark, Friedman, & Jackson, ).…”

Objective To examine how childhood weight trajectories are associated with disordered eating behaviours (DEBs) in early adolescence. Methods Self‐reports on DEBs (fasting, purging, and binge eating) were obtained from 18,337 children in the 11‐year follow‐up of the Danish National Birth Cohort. For this population, birth register information on gestational age and birth weight was categorized into the following: small, appropriate, and large for gestational age. Prospective parent‐reported height and weight data at child ages 1 and 7 years were dichotomized using standardized cut‐offs into non‐overweight and overweight. A 12‐category weight trajectory variable was created, and the associations between weight trajectory and DEBs were estimated using logistic regression. Results In total, 7.0% 11‐ to 12‐year olds reported DEBs. Compared with children born appropriate for gestational age and being non‐overweight at age 1 and 7 years, children born small for gestational age and who were overweight at age 1 and 7 years had a very high risk of disordered eating (OR 7.00; CI [2.57, 19.40]). The statistical analyses revealed, however, that overweight at age 7 years was the main contributor and independently of trajectory increased the risk of disordered eating at age 11–12 years significantly (OR 3.16 CI [2.73, 3.65]). Conclusion Overweight not in the first year of life, but at age 7 years was more predictive for DEBs.

“…These findings are in line with studies demonstrating that highly restrained eaters have a higher chance of being in higher BMI trajectories, whereas other factors such as emotional and external eating were unrelated to BMI [ 24 ]. No other of the investigated predictors was statistically significantly associated with children´s BMI at age 11, replicating the findings of the other three longitudinal studies on restrained eating and BMI over time [ 26 – 28 ], though Munkholm et al [ 27 ] also identified a low annual household income as a further strong explanatory factor of BMI increase (OR 2.06), and Forrester-Knauss et al [ 26 ] identified an association of body self-esteem and longitudinal BMI development.…”

“…In the study by Forrester-Knauss et al [ 26 ], with N = 428 children assessed as pre-schoolers and pre-adolescents, restrained eating at the age of 12 years was significantly predicted by BMI at the age of 5 years as well as by BMI change over time. Munkholm and colleagues [ 27 , 28 ] analyzed data of the Copenhagen Child Cohort (CCC2000) that assessed restrained, emotional and external eating with the EPI-C in a general population sample of 11–12 year olds. Restrained eating was significantly associated with overweight, body dissatisfaction and emotional disorders in both genders.…”

Obesity is one of the greatest public health challenges in the world with childhood prevalence rates between 20–26% and numerous associated health risks. The aim of the current study was to analyze the 11-year follow-up data of the Ulm Birth Cohort Study (UBCS), to identify whether abnormal eating behavior patterns, especially restrained eating, predict body mass index (BMI) at 11 years of age and to explore other factors known to be longitudinally associated with it. Of the original UBCS, n = 422 children (~ 40% of the original sample) and their parents participated in the 11-year follow-up. BMI at age 8 and 11 as well as information on restrained eating, psychological problems, depressive symptoms, lifestyle, and IQ at age 8 were assessed. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to predict children’s BMI scores at age 11. PLS-SEM explained 68% of the variance of BMI at age 11, with BMI at age 8 being the most important predictor. Restrained eating, via BMI at age 8 as well as parental BMI, had further weak associations with BMI at age 11; no other predictor was statistically significant. Since established overweight at age 8 already predicts BMI scores at age 11 longitudinally, obesity interventions should be implemented in early childhood.

“…25 Compared to the initial 6090 children, the children participating in the 2011-2012 examination included more girls, and more children born at term, living with both parents at birth, and having more well-educated parents with higher annual household income. 28 In 2016-2017, 1445 subjects participated in the eye examination, including 741 participants who both attended the 2011-2012 and 2016-2017 examination. The follow-up rate was 412 of 733 (56%) for girls and 329 of 673 (49%) for boys.…”

PURPOSE. We describe changes in choroidal thickness from age 11 to 16 years and its association with ocular biometrics and body development. METHOD. In this longitudinal, population-based observational study, choroidal thickness was measured subfoveally and 1-and 3-mm temporal thereof using enhanced depth imaging spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Analyses were stratified by sex and adjusted for age and the time of day that the scan was performed. RESULTS. The study included 687 participants (304 boys). Median (interquartile range [IQR]) age was 11.5 (0.6) years at baseline and 16.6 (0.3) years at follow-up. Mean increase in choroidal thickness was 33, 27, and 11 lm at the three respective locations. The subfoveal choroid thickened less in eyes whose axial length increased more (boys, b ¼ À85 lm/mm; 95% confidence interval [CI], À104 to À66, P < 0.0001; girls, b ¼ À105 lm/mm; 95% CI, À121 to À89, P < 0.0001) and in eyes with a more negative refractive development (boys, 11 lm/diopters [D]; 95% CI, 4.0 to 18, P ¼ 0.0022; girls, 22 lm/D; 95% CI, 16 to 27, P < 0.0001). Subfoveal choroidal thickness increased less in girls who underwent early puberty (Tanner stage 4 vs. 1; À39 lm' 95% CI, À72 to À5.9, P ¼ 0.021) and who had a longer baseline axial length (b ¼ À8.6 lm/mm; 95% CI, À15 to À2.7, P ¼ 0.0043), and more in girls who grew taller (b ¼ 0.9 lm/cm; 95% CI, 0.1 to 1.7, P ¼ 0.026). CONCLUSIONS. The choroid increased in thickness from age 11 to 16 years. The increase was greater in girls with later sexual maturation and smaller in eyes that added more axial length and had a relatively negative refractive development.
