Long-Term Outcomes of Group-Based Treatment for Obese Children and Adolescents

Objective: A 1-year, group-based, treatment program with parental involvement was conducted on 115 obese youths during 2006-2011. The intervention decreased obesity severity. The current study assessed the participants’ long-term weight loss and obesity-related complications. Methods: Participants were invited for a single visit. Their weights, heights, and waist circumferences were measured and compared with corresponding figures at group-based treatment program completion. Factors associated with changed percentage weight-for-height (%W/H) were assessed. Results: There were 43 subjects, including 6 participating telephonically. The median follow-up duration was 5.8 years. %W/H, BMI, and waist circumference increased significantly (p = 0.012, 0.002, and 0.003, respectively). %W/H rose for 26 participants (60.5%; failed group) but declined or stabilized for 17 (39.5%; successful group). The successful-group exercise duration and frequency were significantly higher (p = 0.006 and 0.018, respectively). Three participants had type 2 diabetes, including 1 known case, all in the failed group. Newly-found obesity-related disorders were elevated transaminases (6 participants, with 5 from the failed group), elevated blood pressure (1 failed-group participant), and dyslipidemia (one from each group). Conclusion: Only 40% of the participants maintained long-term weight reduction. Regular exercise was associated with successful weight maintenance. Obesity-related complications were common in the failed group

Dietary Intake and Physical Activity of Thai Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Appropriate dietary intake and physical activity (PA) are essential for glycemic control and optimal growth in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Thus, this study aimed to compare dietary intake and PA between youth with T1D and healthy controls. One hundred Thai youth with T1D and 100 age-matched healthy participants were recruited. A 3-day food record was completed and converted into nutrient intake data. PA data were collected via interview. Participants with T1D had a significantly higher mean ± SD carbohydrate (50.8 ± 6.8% vs. 46.2 ± 7.5%, p p p = 0.01) intake compared to controls. Fifty percent of T1D participants and 41% of control participants consumed saturated fat more than recommendations (p = 0.20). Participants with T1D had a higher median (IQR) calcium intake compared to controls (474 (297–700) vs. 328 (167–447) mg/day, p p = 0.04). In addition to the need for counseling that promotes consumption of more dietary fiber and calcium and less saturated fat and sodium, the benefits of performing regular exercise need to be emphasized among youth with T1D
