ConclusionsMisalignment between ALwO, caregivers, and HCPs —including caregivers' underestimation of the impact of obesity on ALwO and HCPs' misperception of key motivators/barriers for weight loss—suggests a need for improved communication and education. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Prevalence of early childhood obesity in Ireland: Differences over time, between sexes and across child growth criteria
ConclusionsTo increase transparency and comparability, studies of childhood obesity need to consider differences in prevalence estimates across growth criteria. Effective prevention, intervention and policy-making are needed to control Ireland's high overweight and obesity prevalence. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Possible prediction of obesity ‐related liver disease in children and adolescents using indices of body composition
ConclusionsBody composition indices and alanine transaminase can be used to estimate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, with 38.6% –51.7% sensitivity and 87.6%–91.9%, specificity, in children and adolescents with overweight (including obesity). These estimated a 24.2%–35.3% prevalence in 2120 patients. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Association of insufficient sleep and skipping breakfast with overweight/obesity in children and adolescents: Findings from a cross ‐sectional provincial surveillance project in Jiangsu
ConclusionsInsufficient sleep and skipping breakfast were jointly associated with overweight/obesity in children and adolescents. Appropriate attention should be paid to these modifiable behaviours including sleep and breakfast in the context of the rapidly growing obesity epidemic among children and adolescents.

Serum zonulin as an index of glucose dysregulation in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity
SummaryIncreased intestinal permeability has an important role in metabolic dysregulation. In this cross-sectional study, we examined whether serum intestinal permeability marker zonulin and related pro-inflammatory molecules were associated with the oral disposition index, a predictor for the development of type 2 diabetes, in a cohort of children and adolescents with overweight and obesity. Ninety-two children and adolescents were recruited [Male: 43; 12.7 (2.35) years; BMI SDS: 2.7 (0.96)]. Anthropometric and clinical parameters, lipid profile, glucose metabolism and plasma levels of zonulin, lipopolysaccharide-binding ...
