Electronic phenotypes to distinguish clinician attention to high body mass index, hypertension, lipid disorders, fatty liver and diabetes in pediatric primary care: Diagnostic accuracy of electronic phenotypes compared to masked comprehensive chart review
ConclusionsElectronic phenotypes for clinician attention to overweight/obesity and distinct comorbidities are highly specific, with moderate (BMI) to modest (each comorbidity) sensitivity. The high specificity supports using phenotypes to identify children with prior high-BMI/comorbidity attention. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Hyperglycemia: A determinant of cardiac autonomic dysfunction in youth with obesity across the spectrum of glycemic regulation
ConclusionsYouth with impaired glucose regulation have evidence of cardiac autonomic dysfunction with decreased HRV, and sympathetic overdrive (increased LF/HF). This dysfunction is mainly related to glycemia and systemic inflammation. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Infant effortful control predicts BMI trajectories from infancy to adolescence
ConclusionsEffortful control in infancy was associated with BMI over time. Specifically, poor effortful control during infancy was associated with higher BMI in childhood and adolescence. These findings support the argument that infancy may be a sensitive window for the development of later obesity. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Relationships examined: Parent and child readiness to change and sociodemographic characteristics in family based weight loss treatment
ConclusionsResults demonstrate that investigators should consider sociodemographic characteristic factors and different levels of readiness to change in participants enrolling in obesity interventions. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Evaluating potential predictors of weight loss response to liraglutide in adolescents with obesity: A post hoc analysis of the randomized, placebo ‐controlled SCALE Teens trial
ConclusionsThis secondary analysis suggests that adolescents with obesity may experience significant BMI reductions after 56 weeks of liraglutide treatment, regardless of their sex, race, ethnicity, age, pubertal stage, glycemic status, obesity category, severity of depression symptoms, or weight variability. Early response may predict greater week 56 response. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

The longitudinal influence of ADHD status and stimulant medication on body mass index and blood pressure among youth with obesity
ConclusionsResults from this study suggest that youth with ADHD who are not taking stimulant medication may not benefit from clinical weight management to the same extent as either youth without ADHD or youth with ADHD who are taking a stimulant medication. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Positive effect of leptin substitution on mood and behaviour in patients with congenital leptin deficiency
ConclusionsMetreleptin substitution improved indices of physical activity and psychological wellbeing in patients with CLD. This suggests that reduced leptin concentrations might be in part responsible for emotional and behavioural changes seen during starvation. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Paediatric obesity and metabolic syndrome associations with cognition and the brain in youth: Current evidence and future directions
SummaryObesity and components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with differences in brain structure and function and in general and food-related cognition in adults. Here, we review evidence for similar phenomena in children and adolescents, with a focus on the implications of extant research for possible underlying mechanisms and potential interventions for obesity and MetS in youth. Current evidence is limited by a relative reliance on small cross-sectional studies. However, we find that youth with obesity and MetS or MetS components show differences in brain structure, including alterations in grey matter ...

NET ‐Works paediatric obesity prevention trial: 66 month outcomes
ConclusionsEvidence suggests that early intervention with children at highest risk for obesity, using community-based, multicomponent, multisetting interventions, may be effective in reducing excess weight gain and obesity among certain subgroups of children. The intervention appeared to be effective in slowing BMI gain 66 months after randomization among children who were already overweight at ages 2–4 years and among children of Hispanic ethnicity.

Child temperament is associated with energy intake and its day ‐to‐day variability among preschoolers—Results from a cross‐sectional DAGIS study
ConclusionsThe results indicate that temperament may shape children's energy intake. Moreover, the role of the ECEC context in children's eating may be different depending on a child's temperamental dispositions, which warrants further research. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)
