Longitudinal assessment of brain structure and behaviour in youth with rapid weight gain: Potential contributing causes and consequences
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that brain structure in pre-adolescence may predispose some to rapid weight gain and that weight gain itself may alter maturational brain change in regions important for food intake and impulsivity. Behavioural interventions that target inhibitory control may improve trajectories of brain maturation and facilitate healthier behaviours. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Short ‐term complications and post‐acute sequelae in hospitalized paediatric patients with COVID‐19 and obesity: A multicenter cohort study
ConclusionsIn paediatric hospitalized patients with COVID-19, severe short-term outcomes and post-acute sequelae are associated with obesity. Recognizing obesity as a key comorbidity is essential to develop targeted strategies for prevention of COVID-19 complications in children. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Childhood sleep and obesity risk: A prospective cohort study of 10 000 Swedish children
ConclusionThe child's BMI Z-score increases by 0.09 units with every hour shorter sleep duration, indicating that short sleep duration might increase the risk of overweight and obesity in children. Parental educational interventions advising appropriate sleeping patterns should be considered when implementing strategies to combat the development o f childhood obesity.

Circadian variation of serum leptin and adipose tissue changes in children
ConclusionWe found no evidence that circadian variation in serum leptin concentrations during childhood is associated with long-term changes in children's adiposity. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Longitudinal associations between weight status and academic achievement in primary school children
ConclusionsAssociations between being affected by overweight/obesity and poorer academic achievement were more pronounced in girls than boys, indicating potentially inequitable impacts of excess weight and highlighting the greater need for intervention among girls. However, stronger study designs are needed to confirm our findings. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Prenatal interventions and the development of childhood obesity
ConclusionsNo strong association was found between prenatal diet, exercise, or combined interventions and child adiposity. Data are limited due to 63.6% overall retention rate for the follow-up studies and heterogeneity of intervention approach and child adiposity measures. Findings suggest combined interventions initiated early in pregnancy may decrease offspring adiposity in the first year of life. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Association between gestational weight gain and risk of overweight at 3 years old: The Japan Environment and Children's Study
ConclusionsGWG was positively associated with a high risk of overweight at 3 years of age. The risk of offspring overweight was 20%–27% higher and 16%–17% lower with excessive GWG and inadequate GWG, respectively, compared to adequate GWG, based on the aforementioned criteria.

Associations between maternal metabolic parameters during pregnancy and fetal and child growth trajectories from 20 weeks' gestation to 5 years of age: Secondary analysis from the ROLO longitudinal birth cohort study
ConclusionIn a cohort of women with obesity with infants at risk of macrosomia, maternal metabolic markers were not strongly associated with trajectories of weight or abdominal circumference from 20 weeks gestation to 5 years of age. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Maternal pre ‐pregnancy body mass index and offspring with overweight/obesity at preschool age: The possible role of epigenome‐wide DNA methylation changes in cord blood
ConclusionsDNA methylation inFOXN3 andAHRR is associated with overweight/obesity in preschool-aged children, and the methylation inFOXN3 andZNF264 might be associated with children's BMI-z score.FOXN3 methylation may be associated with maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, suggesting its potential role in the children's BMI-z score or overweight/obesity. Our results provide novel insights into the mechanisms of children's obesity. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Childhood follow ‐up of the GRoW randomized trial: Metformin in addition to dietary and lifestyle advice for pregnant women with overweight or obesity
ConclusionsWe did not show evidence of the benefit of metformin for children of women with overweight or obesity during pregnancy adding to the growing literature on the lack of effect of pregnancy interventions in reducing longer-term risks of childhood obesity. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)
