“…Especially, 28% of boys and 23% of girls in the OW group spent 3 or more hours per day being sedentary during the weekend. Chung et al [33] also reported that obesity is related to increased TV viewing and screen time. Dietary guidelines for Korean children also recommend that children limit TV watching or playing computer games to less than 2 hours per day [30].…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESChildhood obesity has increased in recent decades in Korea. This study was designed to examine differences in the eating habits, physical activity (PA), nutrition knowledge, and self-efficacy of children by obesity status.SUBJECTS/METHODSSubjects were 5th-grade children from 70 elementary schools in 17 cities nationwide. Two-stage stratified cluster sampling was employed. Survey questionnaire included items related to general characteristics, eating habits, PA, nutrition knowledge and self-efficacy. Excluding incomplete responses, 3,531 data were analyzed using SPSS. Subjects were categorized into overweight·obesity (OW) and normal weight (NW) groups based on body mass index percentiles for age by sex.RESULTSA total of 21.5% of subjects was overweight or obese. There were significant differences in gender, perceived stress, perception of body shape, body satisfaction, and interest in weight control between the OW and NW groups (P < 0.001). With respect to eating habits, the OW group ate breakfast (P < 0.05) and snacks (P < 0.01) less frequently, ate bigger meals (P < 0.001), and demonstrated less desirable behaviors during meals (P <0.05 in boys) compared to the NW group. The OW group participated in less PA than the NW group, especially boys. OW boys spent less time walking during weekdays (P < 0.05) or the weekend (P < 0.001), spent more time being sedentary during weekdays or the weekend (P < 0.001), and exercised a fewer number of days (P < 0.01). For girls, the OW group spent more time being sedentary during the weekend (P < 0.01) and exercised a fewer number of days by walking or bicycle riding (P < 0.05) than the NW group. Nutrition knowledge was not significantly different between the OW and NW groups. Self-efficacy (P < 0.01 in boys), especially PA self-efficacy (P < 0.01), was significantly lower in the OW than NW group.CONCLUSIONSThis study revealed differences in eating habits, PA, and self-efficacy between OW and NW children. Obesity management programs for children need to focus on increasing self-efficacy, modifying eating habits, and increasing PA.

“…Furthermore, considering that one study result showed that adolescents with daily screen time >5 hours had increased risk of abdominal obesity, further studies may focus on the subjects with serious sedentary behaviour problems. 43 Third, we used a dimensional approach for data analysis of ADHD symptoms and BMI instead of categorical diagnosis. However, binary classification for continuous variables may not fully explain the nature of both conditions.…”

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the mediating roles of uncontrolled eating and sedentary behaviours in the link of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and weight.MethodsA total of 352 children in fifth and sixth grade participated in the present study by completing the self-rated Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire and Children of Alcoholics Screening Test during regular classes. An additional questionnaire completed by their parents provided information about the children's ADHD and emotional symptoms, sedentary behaviour based on screen time, and parental variables. The questionnaires were surveyed within one week after their schools' annual physical check-up.ResultsHierarchical regression analyses revealed that uncontrolled eating was complete mediator in association between ADHD symptoms and body mass index (BMI) for boys, incomplete mediator for girls. However, screen time had no significant effect on the ADHD symptoms-BMI link for both gender.ConclusionThe findings of this study suggest that gender specific intervention programs may be need to help eating behaviour in children with ADHD and overweight.

“…Supporting the results of this study, the study by Hsu et al (2005) [27] also reported that the combined application of manual AT and abdominal electroacupuncture for 6 weeks in obese patients significantly decreases their WC and BMI. Furthermore, the study by Lee et al (2006) [31], reported that a 3-week 10-session abdominal electroacupuncture application significantly decreased the WC and BMI of women with obesity Another study reported significant decreases in WC and BMI among women with abdominal obesity receiving 5-week electroacupuncture on real acupoints compared to the women who received electroacupuncture on fake acupoints [32].…”

Background: Blood lipid levels have been reported as novel biomarkers for chronic subjective tinnitus (CST), with their levels being higher in patients with CST. Objectives: This trial aimed to determine the change in lipid profile and tinnitus-related quality of life (TR-QoL) responses to 8-week acupuncture treatment in patients with CST. Methods: Sixty obese patients with CST were randomly assigned to group A (treatment group; n = 30; mean age = 44.10 ± 3.69 years) or group B (sham group; n = 30; mean age = 45.53 ± 3.62 years). Patients in group A (n = 30) received manual stimulation at the TE3,
