Relationship Between Obesity and Youth Athletes' Physical Activity and Exercise-Related Cardiac Symptoms
Conclusions: In this dataset, obesity in youth athletes is associated with decreased physical activity and increased exertional symptoms in general. Obesity is not associated with exertional symptoms in athletes who participated in higher weekly physical activity. Further studies are needed to elucidate the cause-effect relationship of these findings.PMID:38621158 | DOI:10.1089/chi.2023.0194 (Source: Childhood Obesity)

Relationships Between Measures of the Physical Activity-Related Built Environment and Excess Weight in Preschoolers: A Retrospective, Population-Level Cohort Study
Conclusion: The physical activity-related built environment was associated with excess weight in preschoolers, although relationships varied between cities that differed demographically and geographically.PMID:38621159 | DOI:10.1089/chi.2024.0211 (Source: Childhood Obesity)

Height and Weight Measurement and Communication With Families in Head Start: Developing a Toolkit and Establishing Best Practices
Conclusions: Our toolkit can improve anthropometric measurements of HS to ensure that potential surveillance data are accurate. Advisory group best practices highlight opportunities for HS to develop and implement policies, procedures, and trainings across the country to improve communication with HS families. Future research should test the implementation of these best practices within HS.PMID:38573231 | DOI:10.1089/chi.2023.0166 (Source: Childhood Obesity)

Building Healthy Families: Outcomes of an Adapted Family Healthy Weight Program Among Children in a Rural Mid-Western Community
Conclusions: Overall, this study demonstrated that an evidence-based FHWP can result in statistically meaningful declines in BMI z-score and accompanied clinically meaningful changes in health risk. Participants lost ∼4% of their body mass in 12 weeks, while their parents/guardians lost closer to 7% of their body mass, which supports previous literature suggesting body mass changes influence health.PMID:38569168 | DOI:10.1089/chi.2023.0142 (Source: Childhood Obesity)
