“…We traced weight changes in children aged 6 and 7 years old for 1 year. Generally, BMI starts to increase at a rapid rate after the age of 8, and overweight and obesity become more prevalent in older children . A study from Japan that followed up a rural prefectural cohort for 20 years found that children living with grandparents were at increased risk of overweight and obesity in adulthood .…”

Summary Background The prevalence of grandparent coresidence is increasing. However, the impact of grandparent coresidence on weight change among school‐age children remains unclear. Objectives The objective of the study is to examine the association between grandparent coresidence and obesity‐related behaviours and change in body mass index (BMI) z scores among school‐age children. Methods In total, 3422 caregivers of first‐grade children in Adachi City, Tokyo, participated in surveys and health checkups in 2016 and 2017 with no change in their grandparent coresidence status (response rate: 80.1% and 81.4%, respectively). Association between grandparent coresidence and obesogenic dietary, physical activity, and screen‐based sedentary behaviours was measured using Poisson regression with robust error variance analysis, while change in BMI z scores was determined by linear regression and adjusting for potential covariates. Results Grandparent coresidence was associated with increased prevalence rate (PR) of irregular snack foods intake (PR: 1.38, 95% confidential interval (CI): 1.19, 1.61); however, children who live with grandparents showed a lower BMI z scores in the second grade (coefficient: −0.048, 95% CI: −0.094 to −0.0013) after adjustment for BMI z scores in the first grade, family sociodemographics, and obesogenic behaviours. Conclusion Grandparent coresidence is associated with lower BMI z scores among early primary school‐age Japanese children living in urban areas.

“…The patients’ medical records were reviewed for documentation of age, sex, type of dialysis before RTx, source of graft, presence of tube feeding, prescription of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers before RTx, immunosuppressants, and diagnosis of cause of ESRD. The BMI was evaluated with reference to the Japanese Society for Pediatric Endocrinology . BP was measured 3 times on the day on which echocardiography was performed, and the average BP of the three measurements was evaluated with reference to the NHBPEP Working Group .…”

LVH is a significant risk factor for the development of cardiovascular morbidity. However, few studies have evaluated the changes in cardiac function that occur in pediatric patients with ESRD undergoing RTx. Therefore, we assessed the changes in parameters associated with LVH in children within the first year after RTx. We retrospectively evaluated patients aged < 18 years who underwent initial RTx from April 2014 to December 2016. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence of LVH before RTx. Clinical, biochemical, and echocardiographic parameters including the LVMI before and 1 year after RTx were evaluated in both groups. Twenty‐six patients were included in this study. Seven of the 26 patients had LVH before RTx. Among the echocardiographic parameters, the LVMI was significantly improved 1 year after RTx in the initial LVH group (57.79 ± 11.86 vs 42.20 ± 6.03 g/cm2.7, P = .018), while no change was observed in the initial non‐LVH group (32.66 ± 7.52 vs 35.17 ± 12.86 g/cm2.7, P = .376). Improvement of the ejection fraction was also observed only in the initial LVH group (66.5% ± 5.3% vs 72.2% ± 5.2%, P = .042). Children who had LVH before RTx showed significant improvements in the LVMI and ejection fraction even within 1 year after RTx. To minimize aggravation of cardiac function, early RTx should be considered for patients with LVH.
