“…Overall, our findings are consistent with previous research in showing high rates of psychopathological symptoms in children of parents with psychiatric diagnosis, suggesting a negative effect of parental eating disorders on their offspring's mental health (Cerniglia et al, 2014;Cimino et al, 2015;Cimino et al, 2016a 110 relationship between parents diagnosed with BED and their children at 36 months, our data are consistent with those of previous studies that argued that psychiatric disease in parents lead to offspring's uneasiness, which could crystalize into early psychopathological symptoms (Cimino et al, 2015;Cimino et al, 2016a). Even more so, findings in the current study turn out to be very important in relation to child mental health, since early children's emotional and behavioural difficulties in the first years of life tend to increase overtime (Ammaniti, Lucarelli, Cimino, D'Olimpio & Chatoor, 2012;Cimino et al, 2016b;Cimino et al, 2015).…”

Several studies demonstrated that the quality of dyadic interactions during feeding has an impact on offspring's psychopathological problems in families where parents have a psychiatric diagnosis.Although literature addressed the trans-generational transmission of psychopathology from parents with eating disorders to their offspring, the specific quality of parent-infant interactions during feeding has not been assessed. The purpose of the study was to assess possible differences in the quality of motherschildren and fathers-children feeding interactions at 36 months of age of the child in families with parents diagnosed with binge eating disorders (BED). The sample was composed by 30 Italian couples of parents and children (Ntot =90), divided into three groups based on the presence of BED diagnosis. Group A: diagnosis in both parents; Group B: diagnosis only in the mothers; Group C: diagnosis only in the fathers.For the evaluation of feeding dyadic exchanges SVIA Italian adaptation of the Feeding Scale was applied.Parent-infant interactions in families with parents diagnosed with BED show maladaptive features.Mothers and fathers relate to children in a not overlapping fashion, with mothers showing various maladaptive symptoms and fathers showing severe conflicts with the children during the meal. Primarily reducing parental symptoms is relevant in term of mental health prevention programs.

“…11,12 It is presumed that FED are multifactorial in nature and involve interactions among biological, environmental, and behavioral factors. 11,[13][14][15][16] Some predisposing factors for FED may originate from the perinatal period. Low gestational age and birth weight have been identified as risk factors.…”

Perinatal Risk Factors for Feeding and Eating Disorders in Children Aged 0 to 3 Years

OBJECTIVE: To describe the incidence, age at diagnosis, and associations between perinatal risk factors of feeding and eating disorders (FED) diagnosed at hospital in children aged 0 to 3 years. METHODS:A nationwide cohort of 901 227 children was followed until 48 months of age in the national registers from 1997 to 2010. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for FED diagnosis according to the International Classification of Diseases and associations with perinatal risk factors. RESULTS:A total of 1365 children (53% girls) were diagnosed with FED at hospital, corresponding to a cumulative incidence of 1.6 per 1000 live births. High risk of FED was seen in children born before gestational week 28 (HR, 3.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.15-5.78). HRs were 3.74 for children small for gestational age ≤3 SD (95% CI, 2.71-5.17) and 4.71 in those with congenital malformations (95% CI, 3.86-5.74). Increased risk of FED was associated with female gender (HR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.08-1.34), maternal smoking in pregnancy (HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.08-1.42), immigrant status (HR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.92-2.61), and being the firstborn (HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.19-1.50).CONCLUSIONS: FED in referred children aged 0 to 3 years are associated with perinatal adversities, female gender, maternal smoking in pregnancy, being firstborn, and having immigrant parents. The results suggest complex causal mechanisms of FED and underscore the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the clinical management of young children with persistent problems of feeding, eating, and weight faltering.

“…aggression and hyperactivity) (Achenbach & Rescorla 2000). In terms of predictive implications, in line with the DP framework, recent studies highlight that the early onset of emotional-behavioural problems during childhood can imply several difficulties across the following stages of life, such as adolescence and adulthood (Ammaniti et al, 2012;Cimino et al, 2016). The earlier difficulties are identified, the earlier it is possible to plan support and intervention programs.…”

Risky Behaviours in Adolescence: A Brief Overview of Unintentional Injuries

Different risk behaviours pertaining to adolescents, such as sports or motor vehicle accidents, impact on healthy development. Adolescent injuries have been studied in international literature, but very little work has presented a general framework, including the main psychological and relational factors associated with different types of accidents. The present study aims to offer a theoretical overview of adolescents' individual and relational factors related to the phenomenon of unintentional injuries, focusing on psychological, personality functioning and different types of accidents. An extensive review of international literature on adolescent unintentional injuries was conducted in university libraries and in databases such as ProQuest, PsyArticles, PsyInfo, and PubMed. The papers' scientific relevance was verified by Scopus indexing. In particular, different studies and research that have addressed adolescent injuries from several point of view were examined, in an attempt to identify relevant works that contribute to the unravelling of this complex issue. Literature search results highlight the relevance of multiple individual factors that may be associated with accidents in adolescence. Although adolescent injuries have been widely studied, the victims' psychological profiles associated with different types of accidents remain scarcely addressed, because of the complex set of emotional, behavioural, social factors involved. Given the international relevance of the rising phenomenon of adolescent injuries, psychological and relational functioning and their correlates should be better investigated, for the significant impact of accidents on morbidity, particularly in this vulnerable yet important youthful segment of the population.
