Objectives: To describe the associations of income and race with obesogenic behaviors and % body fat among a large sample of U.S. children and adolescents.

Design: Data were obtained from the 2003-2004 and 2005-2006 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey. Multiple linear regression models and interactions were used to examine the associations of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary time, diet quality, and screen-time with income-to-poverty ratio and race. Separate stratified analyses explored associations among individual obesogenic behaviors within race and income groups.

Results: This study included children and adolescents (n = 3551, mean = 13.1 years, SD = 3.9 years) who were 37% Hispanic, 27% White, and 35% Black. Overall, Hispanic children/adolescents had significantly higher levels of adiposity (3.6, 95 CI = 0.9, 6.3) than white children and adolescents. Medium-income children and adolescents engaged in less MVPA (- 3.3 min, 95 CI = - 5.1, - 1.5), had poorer diet quality (- 1.1, 95 CI = - 1.9, - 0.2), and used screens less (- 33.9 min, 95 CI = - 45.4, - 22.4) than children and adolescents from low-income households. High-income children and adolescents also engaged in less MVPA (- 3.1 min, 95 CI = - 5.5, - 0.7) and used screens less (- 62.9 min, 95 CI = - 78.3, - 47.4) than children and adolescents from low-income households. However, there were significant race/ethnicity-by-income interactions for high-income Hispanic children and adolescents with diet quality (- 3.5 HEI-2010 score, 95 CI = - 6.6, - 0.4) and screen time (66.9 min, 95 CI = 24.7, 109.0). There was also a significant race/ethnicity-by-income interaction for the screen-time of Black children and adolescents from medium (33.8 min, 95% CI 0.2, 67.3) and high (75.8 min, 95% CI 34.7, 117.0) income households.

Conclusions: There appears to be a complex relationship that varies by race/ethnicity between income, obesogenic behaviors, and adiposity levels among children and adolescents. More work is needed to identify the behavioral mechanisms that are driving disparate rates of overweight and obesity among minority children and those from low-income households.

Assessment and Treatment of Concussion in the Pediatric Population.

Semin Neurol 2021 Mar 3. Epub 2021 Mar 3.

Division of Pediatric Neurology, Department of Pediatrics, Boston Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common in children. The evaluation and management of children with TBI is based on the research performed in adults. There is a relative paucity of research in the literature involving children and many of the practice recommendations for this age are based on expert opinion in the absence of good research studies in both sports and non-sports-related injuries.

Magnitude and significance of interarm blood pressure differences in children and adolescents.

Background: An interarm difference (IAD) in blood pressure (BP) of 10 mmHg or more is a potential cardiovascular risk factor in adults, given its association with cardiovascular events/mortality. In children and adolescents, accurate BP assessment is critical for identifying risk of end organ damage. However, IAD has not been systematically studied in paediatric patients; if present and of significant magnitude, measuring BP in only one arm could lead to misclassification of hypertensive status.

J Phys Act Health 2021 Mar 3:1-18. Epub 2021 Mar 3.

Background: Global estimates have shown that a small proportion of children and adolescents are physically active. However, the evidence on physical activity (PA) among Colombian children and adolescents is limited. The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence and correlates of meeting PA guidelines among Colombian children and adolescents. Read More

Local vs global processing in Williams syndrome.

Authors:
Giulia Mattavelli Floriana Costanzo Deny Menghini Stefano Vicari Costanza Papagno

Res Dev Disabil 2021 Feb 28;112:103917. Epub 2021 Feb 28.

CIMeC (Centre for Mind/Brain Sciences), University of Trento, Italy; Dipartimento di Psicologia, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy. Electronic address:

Background: It has long been debated whether in Williams syndrome (WS) there is a preferential processing of local with respect to global forms, in contrast to the typical 'global advantage' in healthy individuals, which in WS seems to exist only for faces.

Aims: We aimed at verifying it and to assess the role of stimulus familiarity by comparing performances with faces to those with other objects using the same type of task.

Methods And Procedure: A group of children and adolescents with WS and controls with typical development performed a modified version of three tasks: Mooney (with faces and/or guitars), Jane (with faces and houses) and Navon task. Read More

Department of Occupational Therapy, Texas Woman's University, Denton, TX 76204, USA.

Background: Daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is vital to the physical, mental, and social well-being of children. Early restrictions during the coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic included the closure of schools and physical activity (PA) amenities across the US. This study aimed to examine the impact of the pandemic on the PA and play behavior of US children and to provide evidence-based recommendations to improve their PA. Read More
