The cortisol stress response in youth with overweight and obesity: Influence of psychosocial variables
ConclusionsThe current study provides evidence for a bifurcation in cortisol stress reactivity in youth with obesity. Our data further suggested that psychosocial variables (alexithymia and attachment avoidance) influence the cortisol stress response. Future research should further explore whether the attenuators are a more vulnerable group. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

What can stop the ‘pester power’? A longitudinal study on the impact of children's audiovisual media consumption on media‐motivated food purchase requests
ConclusionsFindings suggest that restricting exposure to food advertising in the media may be more powerful in stopping the ‘pester power’ than previously thought. Thus, policy-supporting restrictions on depicting unhealthy foods in media content targeted at children may be helpful. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Time spent on social media use and BMI z ‐score: A cross‐sectional explanatory pathway analysis of 10798 14‐year‐old boys and girls
ConclusionsIn girls, high time spent on social media use ( ≥5 h/day) was positively associated with BMI z-score, and this association was partially explained by sleep duration, depressive symptoms, body-weight satisfaction, and well-being. Associations and attenuations between a self-reported summary variable of time spent on social media use and BMI z-s core were small. Further research should examine whether time spent on social media use is related to other adolescent health metrics. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Household food insecurity and childhood obesity/overweight among children with special healthcare needs: Results from a nationally representative sample of 10 –17 years old U.S. children
ConclusionsIt appears that food insecurity can put CSHCN at disproportionately greater risk of obesity or overweight than non-CSHCN. The findings underscore considering CSHCN status in conjunction with household food insecurity in designing and implementing medical interventions or public policies targeted at childhood obesity or overweight.

Mediators of the association between childhood body mass index and educational attainment: Analysis of a UK prospective cohort study
ConclusionsThe detrimental effect of higher BMI on educational attainment appears to be partly explained by externalizing behaviours, particularly in females. Interventions to support behavioural problems may help the academic achievement of children with a higher body weight. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Prevalence of low and high BMI during the first 3 years of life: using New Zealand national electronic health data
ConclusionsThe number of children with high BMI increases rapidly between 6 months and 27 months of age, suggesting this is an important timeframe for monitoring and preventive action. Future work should investigate the longitudinal growth trajectories of these children to determine if any particular patterns predict later obesity and what strategies could effectively c hange them.
