“…Inadequate sleep, sedentary lifestyle, consumption of soft drinks, and smoking are factors that can be associated with chronic diseases and some of these behaviors might lead to a poor school performance. 30,31 A study conducted with African-American girls used an intervention involving after school dance classes and family education aimed at reducing the habit of watching television and videos, as well as practices linked to video games. The publication of informative newsletters and health education talks were also employed.…”

Objective:The main goal of this work was to produce a review of educational strategies to prevent diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Method: PubMed database was consulted using combined descriptors such as [Prevention] Results: A total of 8,908 articles were found, of which 1,539 were selected about diabetes mellitus (DM, n=369), arterial systemic hypertension (ASH, n=200), and obesity (OBES, n=970). The number of free full text articles available was 1,075 (DM = 276, ASH = 118 and OBES = 681). In most of these studies, demographic characteristics such as gender and age were randomized, and the population mainly composed by students, ethnic groups, family members, pregnant, health or education professionals, patients with chronic diseases (DM, ASH, OBES) or other comorbidities. Group dynamics, physical activity practices, nutritional education, questionnaires, interviews, employment of new technologies, people training and workshops were the main intervention strategies used. Conclusion:The most efficient interventions occurred at community level, whenever the intervention was permanent or maintained for long periods, and relied on the continuous education of community health workers that had a constant interference inside the population covered. Many studies focused their actions in children and adolescents, especially on students, because they were more influenced by educational activities of prevention, and the knowledge acquired by them would spread more easily to their family and to society.

Objective: High soft drink consumption has been linked with asthma. Anecdotal evidence links high-fructose corn syrup with asthma. The receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has emerged as a mediator of asthma. The objectives of the present study were to: (i) assess the correlation between intake of beverages containing excess free fructose (EFF beverages) and asthma in children; and (ii) epidemiologically test the mechanistic hypothesis that intake of high EFF beverages, such as apple juice or beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, is associated with increased risk of asthma. This hypothesis is based on the possible effect of increases in the in situ intestinal formation of advanced glycation end products (enFruAGE) with EFF, which may be absorbed and play a role in RAGE-mediated asthma. Design: We examined cross-sectional associations between beverage intake and self-reported current or history of asthma. Exposure variables were EFF beverages, including apple juice (AJ), non-diet soft drinks (ndSD) and fruit drinks (FD). Orange juice (OJ), not an EFF beverage, was included as a comparison. Rao-Scott χ 2 analysis was used for prevalence differences and logistic regression for associations, adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI and total energy intake. Setting: Data are from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2006, a nationally representative survey. Subjects: US children (n 1961) aged 2-9 years with complete responses on the dietary frequency questionnaire. Results: Intakes of EFF beverages were significantly associated with asthma in 2-9-year-olds. Adjusted odds of asthma in children consuming EFF beverages ≥5 times/week was more than five times that in children consuming these beverages ≤1 time/month (OR = 5·29, P = 0·012). Children consuming AJ ≥5 times/week v. ≤1 time/month, adjusted for the other beverages, were more than twice as likely to have asthma (OR = 2·43, P = 0·035). In contrast, there was a tendency for OJ to be protective. Conclusions: These results support the hypothesis that intake of high EFF beverages, including AJ and beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, is associated with asthma in children aged 2-9 years. Results support the mechanistic hypothesis that enFruAGE may be an overlooked contributor to asthma in children. Longitudinal studies are needed to provide evidence of causal association.

“…This tactic is supported by evidence from two studies that found that compared with students who were not trying to do anything about their weight, those who were trying to lose weight were less likely to drink SSBs. 10,28 Although there is limited evidence regarding whether water intake might facilitate weight management among youth, plain water may have an important role in decreasing energy intake and possibly preventing incidence of obesity. 14 For example, a school-based intervention to promote water consumption among elementary school students in Germany was conducted.…”

Drinking plain water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages is one approach for reducing energy intake. Only a few studies have examined characteristics associated with plain water intake among US youth. The purpose of our cross-sectional study was to examine associations of demographic characteristics, weight status, dietary habits, and other behavior-related factors with plain water intake among a nationally representative sample of US high school students. The 2010 National Youth Physical Activity and Nutrition Study data for 11,049 students in grades 9 through 12 were used. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for variables associated with low water intake (<3 times/day). Nationwide, 54% of high school students reported drinking water <3 times/day.

HHS Public Access Author Manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript a greater odds for low water intake were age ≤15 years (OR 1.1), consuming <2 glasses/day of milk (OR 1.5), nondiet soda ≥1 time/day (OR 1.6), other sugar-sweetened beverages ≥1 time/day (OR 1.4), fruits and 100% fruit juice <2 times/day (OR 1.7), vegetables <3 times/day (OR 2.3), eating at fast-food restaurants 1 to 2 days/week and ≥3 days/week (OR 1.3 and OR 1.4, respectively), and being physically active ≥60 minutes/ day on <5 days/week (OR 1.6). Being obese was significantly associated with reduced odds for low water intake (OR 0.7). The findings of these significant associations of low water intake with poor diet quality, frequent fast-food restaurant use, and physical inactivity may be used to tailor intervention efforts to increase plain water intake as a substitute for sugar-sweetened beverages and to promote healthy lifestyles. KeywordsDrinking water; Dietary intake; Adolescents; Sugar-sweetened beverages; Television Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (Ssbs) are the largest source of added sugar and an important contributor of energy in the diet of US youth. 1 Consumption of SSBs has been associated with obesity, 2-5 dental caries, 6 type 2 diabetes, 7 poor mental health, 8,9 poor academic grades, 10 and displacement of nutrient-rich foods. 11,12 In contrast, drinking plain water instead of SSBs is one approach for individuals trying to reduce dietary energy intake and thereby possibly benefit obesity prevention and control. [13][14][15] Hence, consuming water as part of a healthy diet (eg, one that contains fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat/reduced fat dairy, and lean meats) can aid weight management [13][14][15][16] and, if substituted for SSB consumption, also possibly aver...
