“…The association between eating disturbances, a sedentary lifestyle and physical activity also needs to be clarified, as well as whether these behaviours are common risk or protective factors for weight-related problems (Krug et al, 2013b). In this regard, wide-spectrum intervention programmes could be developed (NeumarkSztainer et al, 2007).…”

We aimed to assess the association of several risk factors for eating disturbances in adolescents. Participants were 448 girls and boys aged 12-15 years. Being female, higher body mass index, internalisation of standard of appearance, perfectionism, body dissatisfaction, number of lifetime addictive behaviours and lower self-esteem were associated with higher eating disturbance scores, whereas frequency of sedentary behaviours and physical activity were not (R(2) ⩾ 41%). Findings suggest the need to guide prevention efforts towards the broad spectrum of individual potentially modifiable factors. A non-specific comprehensive perspective may be adequate to prevent problems related to weight, body image and drug use.

“…A number of factors have been shown to play a role in the development of these diseases, such as eating disorders [3][4][5], chronic distress [6] and hormonal imbalances [7]. Apart from their origins, the increase in overweight and obesity is of particular concern as they are linked to numerous chronic diseases and other health disorders among both adults [8] and children [9][10][11].…”

Tracking of weight status and body fatness in Italian children

2013

The prevalence of weight disorders among school-aged children is an increasing phenomenon and it is of great importance to identify the characteristics of individuals at risk of gaining or retaining weight. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of weight disorders and their tracking over a 3-year period in a sample of Italian children. Body mass, body height and selected skinfold thicknesses were assessed in 355 children at the age of 7 and 10 years. Tracking of body mass index (BMI), inverted BMI (iBMI) and skinfold-based body fat were analyzed and the relationships between changes in BMI and body fat were examined. Children presenting with overweight or obesity at 7 years old showed a trend toward lower weight categories at 10 years old. Conversely, a trend to become overweight was observed among normal weight boys, and a trend to become underweight was observed among normal weight girls. BMI, iBMI and body fat showed good levels of tracking, with high correlations between measurements performed at 7 and 10 years of age. Furthermore, BMI and iBMI changes were correlated to body fatness changes. The present study shows the importance of carefully following children's development over time because weight disorders may appear even in previously normal weight children.

“…It has been extensively documented that parents' negative attitudes towards their daughters' diet, shape and weight are family aspects related to the onset of an ED (Bäck, 2011;Krug et al, 2013;Meno et al, 2008;Neumark-Sztainer et al, 2010;Quiles et al, 2013;Smart & Tsong, 2014). This was borne out in this study by the fact that participants perceived that their parents were concerned or dissatisfied with their body weight or figure when they were younger, made comparisons, limited the amount of food they were able to eat and set rules about what, how and when to eat.…”

“…Various studies report that parents' conversations regarding body weight or diets (Neumark-Sztainer et al, 2010), and teasing or negative comments in the family unit, particularly those referring to eating patterns and body shape, are linked to the development of EDs (Krug et al, 2013;Loth et al 2009;Meno, Hannum, Espelage & Douglas, 2008;Neumark-Sztainer et al, 2010;Quiles et al, 2013;Smart & Tsong, 2014). Moreover, De la Corte (2016) recently reported the influence of parents' perception of adolescence and educational styles on the development of EDs, noting that the prevention of eating disorders requires teaching parents good parenting practices, which encourage the autonomy of their teenage offspring.…”

The purpose of this study was to identify and comprehend the family aspects associated to the development of an eating disorder (ED), from the point of view of parents with daughters diagnosed with an ED and women diagnosed with an ED. It is a qualitative study where a semi structured interview was used that gathered information about familial support, emotional expression, familial cohesion, problem solving, stressful life events and life cycle transitions, criticism about eating, body shape and weight. The sample comprised nine participants: five parents with daughters diagnosed with an ED, and four women with an ED. A content analysis derived two categories: Difficulties in rearing practices, and Parent's negative attitudes towards daughters eating, shape and weight. Parents showed difficulty with rearing practices during their daughter's childhood and adolescence that hindered the identification of the beginning of the ED. Parents also demonstrated affect by expressing approbation words when their daughters were slim and skipped this same expression for those who weren't. Both aspects were related to the development of an ED. In conclusion, it is highlighted the importance of considering familial aspects in the prevention of ED. show that parents have limited skills for addressing problems or conflicts, implement rigid, unpredictable norms and tend to be demanding, unaffectionate and establish ambivalent bonds (Mateos-Agut et al., 2014;Ward, Ramsaid & Treasure, 2000). These are also families that exert parental control that prevents decision-making, individualization and autonomy in their children.Adolescents with eating disorder symptoms perceive their parents as controlling rather than as supportive figures who encourage family union (Berge, Loth, Hanson, Croll & Neumark-Sztainer, 2011;Brown & Geller, 2006;Dring, 2015;Lampis, Agus & Cacciarru, 2013;Loth et al., 2009), particularly in response to traumatic events such as a serious illness, the death of a family member or sexual abuse (Tagay, Schlottbohm, Reyes-Rodríguez, Repic & Snef, 2014).
