“…However, in the 1993 Pelotas Cohort, the few associations that were seen were negative. In contrast to some but not all studies , in our study, when the association between ACEs and adiposity measures differed by gender, it was stronger for males. Several mechanisms are potentially involved in the association between ACEs and adiposity.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adiposity in adolescents from two cohorts in different socioeconomic contexts.MethodsData from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC, United Kingdom) and the 1993 Pelotas Cohort (Brazil) were used. Six ACEs were assessed in both cohorts up to age 15. At 15 years, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were measured, and at 18 years, BMI, fat mass index, and android fat percentage were assessed.ResultsFew associations were observed between ACEs and adiposity at 15 years, and they were not consistent across cohorts. For adiposity at age 15 in ALSPAC, physical abuse had a positive association with WC, and domestic violence had a positive association with both WC and BMI. A dose‐response relationship between the ACE score and both WC and BMI at 15 years was observed in ALSPAC. In the 1993 Pelotas Cohort, the associations found in crude analysis were no longer evident after adjustment.ConclusionsThis study found some evidence of an association between an ACE score and adiposity in adolescence in a United Kingdom cohort but no evidence of association in a Brazilian cohort. Residual confounding or context‐specific relationships could explain the different pattern of associations.

“…We found that the prevalence of general overweight and obesity in this group of adolescents was similar to other regions in Norway . The prevalence of obesity was approximately 6%, with no difference between boys and girls, which was close to results from a survey performed in central Norway in 2006–2008 . The prevalence of abdominal obesity was 22% in boys and 34% in girls in the present study, which was higher than the prevalence of obesity, as defined by the body mass index.…”

“…In 2001–2004, the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 14% among Norwegian adolescents aged 15–16 years , with a higher prevalence in the northernmost regions. In the Nord‐Trøndelag county in central Norway, the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 26% for boys and 23% for girls in 2006–2008 .…”

Self‐reported physical activity during leisure time was favourably associated with body composition in Norwegian adolescents

Aim: We studied the cross-sectional association between self-reported physical activity and body composition in adolescents. Methods: The Norwegian Fit Futures Cohort Study was conducted in the Tromsø andBalsfjord municipalities during 2010-2011. All 1,117 students in their first year of upper secondary high school were invited to attend an examination at the Clinical Research Unit at the University Hospital of Northern Norway and 93% agreed. After exclusions, we analysed 945 participants (51% boys) with a mean age of 16.1 years (range 15.5-17.5 years) with valid measurements. The associations between self-reported weekly hours of physical activity during leisure time and four measures of body composition were explored using linear regression.Results: Self-reported physical activity was significantly associated with the fat mass index (p < 0.03) and lean mass index (p < 0.001) in both genders. The lean mass index increased with higher levels of activity and the fat mass index decreased. Physical activity was not associated with body mass index for either gender, but there was an inverse association with waist circumference in girls (p = 0.04). Conclusion: Physical activity was favourably associated with body composition inNorwegian adolescents and showed contrasting associations with the fat mass and lean mass indexes.

“…In their meta-analysis, Danese and Tan report the association between maltreatment and obesity in studies of children and adolescents to be non-significant [15]. In a recent large cohort study ( n = 10,464), Stensland et al found a robust and significant relationship between interpersonal violence and increased BMI for both genders in adolescence [18]. After controlling for pubertal development, SES, and lifestyle, this effect was, however, more evident in girls [18].…”

Differential Influences of Parenting Dimensions and Parental Physical Abuse during Childhood on Overweight and Obesity in Adolescents

et al. 2017

Besides other explanatory variables, parenting styles and parental violence might also be responsible for setting a path towards overweight/obesity in childhood. While this association has consistently been observed for adults, findings for adolescents still remain scarce and inconsistent. Therefore, the goal of this study is to add evidence on this topic for children and adolescents. Analyses are based on a sample of 1729 German, ninth-grade students. To analyze associations between parenting dimensions and weight status, non-parametric conditional inference trees were applied. Three gender-specific pathways for a heightened risk of overweight/obesity were observed: (1) female adolescents who report having experienced severe parental physical abuse and medium/high parental warmth in childhood; (2) male adolescents who report having experienced low or medium parental monitoring in childhood; and (3) this second pathway for male adolescents is more pronounced if the families receive welfare. The importance of promoting parenting styles characterized by warmth and a lack of physical abuse is also discussed. This is one of only a few studies examining the association of parenting dimensions/parental physical abuse and weight status in adolescence. Future studies should include even more parenting dimensions, as well as parental physical abuse levels, in order to detect and untangle gender-specific effects on weight status.

Interpersonal violence and overweight in adolescents: The HUNT Study

Abstract: The empirical evidence of consistent associations between interpersonal violence, related psychosocial and lifestyle factors, and body fatness, indicates that these features play important roles for adolescents struggling with overweight.
