Children’s stress influences their diet, physical activity and adiposity: longitudinal behavioural and hormonal pathways

چکیده
Materials and methods In 312 Belgian children (5-12y) of the ChiBS study, the two-year longitudinal stress-lifestyle-adiposity relation was examined. Stress data (sum score of negative events, problem behaviour and negative emotions), lifestyle (food consumption, psychological eating behaviour, physical activity by accelerometry, screen time, sleep duration) and adiposity (BMI, fat% by BodPod, waist) were measured. At baseline, also salivary cortisol levels (4 samples, 2 days) were determined as a biomarker for stress. Multilevel time modelling examined the cross-sectional relation of cortisol with diet. Mplus cross-lagged analyses tested the longitudinal stress-lifestyle-adiposity relations and moderation.

Symposium: The Effects of Childhood Diet on Adult Health and Disease Psychological Influences on the Childhood Diet
Psychological influences on the childhood diet are addressed. The focus is on factors that influence the formation of children’s food preferences. Evidence for links among food preferences, dietary intake and children’s adiposity is presented, with an emphasis on dietary fat. Few food and flavor preferences are innate; most are learned via experience with food and eating and involve associative...

BACKGROUND The rising prevalence of obesity, particularly in childhood, is a global public health emergency. There is some evidence that exposure to non-parental childcare before age 6 years is associated with subsequent development of obesity and obesity-related behaviours such as physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep, diet and stress, although these findings are inconsistent. It is po...
متن کاملThe perfect storm: obesity, adipocyte dysfunction, and metabolic consequences.
BACKGROUND As the prevalence of adiposity soars in both developed and developing nations, appreciation of the close links between obesity and disease increases. The strong relationships between excess adipose tissue and poor health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer, mandate elucidation of the complex cellular, hormonal, and molecular pathophysiology whereby adipos...

Menopause is one of the steps in women’s life which is accompanied by reducing physical and psychological abilities. Because estrogen and other hormonal influences during menopause affect the brain's regulation of mood, hormonal changes can cause some women to experience anxiety during menopause. Anxiety is a psychological state characterized by excessive and persistent worry, tension and nervo...

We examined mean effects and variance moderating effects of measures of physical activity and fitness on six measures of adiposity and their reciprocal effects in a subsample of the population-representative Danish Twin Registry. Consistent with prior studies, higher levels of physical activity suppressed variance in adiposity, but this study provided further insight. Variance suppression appea...
