“…Although the descriptive data presented here do not allow an aetiological interpretation, there is accumulating evidence that several risk factors for childhood obesity are most prevalent in Mediterranean populations. This is true for lack of physical activity (see Konstabel et al; 27 this issue), insufficient sleep duration, 28 non-adherence to a (so-called!) Mediterranean diet 29 (see also Tognon et al, 30 this issue), and exposure to TV viewing and excess screen time.…”

on behalf of the IDEFICS consortium BACKGROUND: There is a lack of common surveillance systems providing comparable figures and temporal trends of the prevalence of overweight (OW), obesity and related risk factors among European preschool and school children. Comparability of available data is limited in terms of sampling design, methodological approaches and quality assurance. The IDEFICS (Identification and prevention of Dietary-and lifestyle-induced health Effects in Children and infantS) study provides one of the largest European data sets of young children based on state-of-the-art methodology. OBJECTIVE: To assess the European distribution of weight status according to different classification systems based on body mass index (BMI) in children (2.0-9.9 years). To describe the prevalence of weight categories by region, sex, age and socioeconomic position. DESIGN: Between 2007 and 2010, 18 745 children from eight European countries participated in an extensive, highly standardised protocol including, among other measures, anthropometric examinations and parental reports on socio-demographic characteristics. RESULTS: The combined prevalence of OW/obesity ranges from more than 40% in southern Europe to less than 10% in northern Europe. Overall, the prevalence of OW was higher in girls (21.1%) as compared with boys (18.6%). The prevalence of OW shows a negative gradient with social position, with some variation of the strength and consistency of this association across Europe. Overall, population groups with low income and/or lower education levels show the highest prevalence of obesity. The use of different reference systems to classify OW results in substantial differences in prevalence estimates and can even reverse the reported difference between boys and girls. CONCLUSIONS: There is a higher prevalence of obesity in populations from southern Europe and in population groups with lower education and income levels. Our data confirm the need to develop and reinforce European public health policies to prevent early obesity and to reduce these health inequalities and regional disparities.

“…The recent findings of a negative association between longer sleep duration and the development of overweight (8,9) was the reason for investigating the effect of sleep duration on counts of MS. Sleep duration was inversely associated with counts of MS. Night eating has been associated with less sleep, overweight and dental disease in earlier studies (10)(11)(12) , but since data are not available for the times of sugar consumption, we can only speculate about the possible role of night eating in this context.…”

“…Sugar, especially in large quantity and when consumed frequently, is also known to contribute to the development of caries (5)(6)(7) . Further, shorter sleep duration and nocturnal eating have been associated with overweight and obesity (8)(9)(10) as well as with dental disease (11,12) .…”

Objective: The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between salivary counts of mutans streptococci (MS) and children's weight status, while considering associated covariates. MS ferments carbohydrates from the diet and contributes to caries by lowering the pH in dental plaque. In adults, high counts of MS in saliva have been associated with overweight, but this has not been shown in children. Design: Cross-sectional study investigating salivary counts of MS, BMI Z-score, waist circumference, meal frequency, sugar propensity and sleep duration, in children. Setting: West Sweden. Subjects: Children (n 271) aged 4-11 years. Results: Medium-high counts of MS were positively associated with higher BMI Z-score (OR = 1·6; 95 % CI 1·1, 2·3). Positive associations were also found between medium-high counts of MS and more frequent meals per day (OR = 1·5; 95 % CI 1·1, 2·2), greater percentage of sugar-rich foods consumed (OR = 1·1; 95 % CI 1·0, 1·3) and female sex (OR = 2·4; 95 % CI 1·1, 5·4). A negative association was found between medium-high counts of MS and longer sleep duration (OR = 0·5; 95 % CI 0·3, 1·0). Conclusions: BMI Z-score was associated with counts of MS. Promoting adequate sleep duration and limiting the intake frequency of sugar-rich foods and beverages could provide multiple benefits in public health interventions aimed at reducing dental caries and childhood overweight.

Abstract:The objective of this systematic review was to examine the relationships between objectively and subjectively measured sleep duration and various health indicators in children and youth aged 5-17 years. Online databases were searched in January 2015 with no date or study design limits. Included studies were peer-reviewed and met the a priori-determined population (apparently healthy children and youth aged 5-17 years), intervention/exposure/comparator (various sleep durations), and outcome (adiposity, emotional regulation, cognition/academic achievement, quality of life/well-being, harms/injuries, and cardiometabolic biomarkers) criteria. Because of high levels of heterogeneity across studies, narrative syntheses were employed. A total of 141 articles (110 unique samples), including 592 215 unique participants from 40 different countries, met inclusion criteria. Overall, longer sleep duration was associated with lower adiposity indicators, better emotional regulation, better academic achievement, and better quality of life/well-being. The evidence was mixed and/or limited for the association between sleep duration and cognition, harms/injuries, and cardiometabolic biomarkers. The quality of evidence ranged from very low to high across study designs and health indicators. In conclusion, we confirmed previous investigations showing that shorter sleep duration is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes. However, the available evidence relies heavily on cross-sectional studies using self-reported sleep. To better inform contemporary sleep recommendations, there is a need for sleep restriction/extension interventions that examine the changes in different outcome measures against various amounts of objectively measured sleep to have a better sense of dose-response relationships.Key words: sleep duration, adiposity, body weight, emotional regulation, mental health, cognition, academic achievement, quality of life, well-being, injuries.Résumé : Cette analyse systématique a pour objectif d'examiner la relation entre la mesure objective et subjective de la durée du sommeil et d'autres indicateurs sanitaires chez des enfants et des jeunes âgés de 5 à 17 ans. En janvier 2015, une recherche est faite dans les bases de données en ligne sans contrainte de date et de devis utilisé. Les études retenues sont sanctionnées par des pairs et sont conformes aux critères a priori déterminés : la population (des jeunes apparemment en bonne santé âgés de 5 à 17 ans), l'intervention/exposition/comparaison (durées variées du sommeil) et le résultat (adiposité, contrôle des émotions, cognition/ rendement scolaire, qualité de vie/bien-être, préjudices/blessures et biomarqueurs cardiométaboliques). À cause du haut niveau d'hétérogénéité des études, on utilise des synthèses narratives. Au total, 141 articles (110 échantillons originaux) incluant 592 215 participants distincts de 40 pays différents sont conformes aux critères d'inclusion. Globalement, une plus longue durée de sommeil est associée aux indicateurs de ...
