Although children in infancy present eating problems of multifarious nature, the diagnostic classification of infant eating disorders remains markedly deficient. The authors present a case exhibiting transient eating disorder in early childhood, alongside discussion of some considerations relevant to this age group. The subject was a boy aged 5 years 6 months at first presentation. Starting with an inability to swallow "sushi" at dinner, he was brought to the clinic for inability to ingest food or liquids. Treatment was planned as play therapy for the patient, and psychological interviews for the mother. The child's symptoms were improved in five sessions, but interviews of the mother revealed eating disorders such as bulimia and vomiting, and sexual problems in the marital relationship, necessitating long-term therapy.

Momentary Associations Across Specific Affective States and Dysregulated Eating Experiences Among Children and Adolescents With Loss of Control Eating Symptoms.
Int J Eat Disord
December 2024
Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Objective: Dysregulated eating is common among youth and is associated with trait-level negative affect and emotion regulation difficulties. Despite the transient nature of affect, momentary associations among affect and eating behavior are unclear, which limits development of more impactful treatment tools, such as "just-in-time" intervention approaches (JITAI). The current study (N = 62) drew from two ecological momentary assessment (EMA) studies involving children and adolescents who endorsed loss of control (LOC) eating symptoms during a two-week assessment period.

Background: Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric disorder characterised by undernutrition, significantly low body weight and large, although possibly transient, reductions in brain structure. Advanced brain ageing tracks accelerated age-related changes in brain morphology that have been linked to psychopathology and adverse clinical outcomes.
Aim: The aim of the current case-control study was to characterise cross-sectional and longitudinal patterns of advanced brain age in acute anorexia nervosa and during the recovery process.
[Comparison of the nutritional structure of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with the most significant nutrition patterns for health].

Article Synopsis
- - Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) show impaired nutritional habits, and certain dietary patterns like the Mediterranean, vegetarian, and DASH diets can help prevent the disease.
- - The study involved analyzing the diets of 613 Russian patients with NAFLD and a control group, using data collected from 2021 to 2023, including assessment of liver conditions through advanced imaging techniques.
- - Findings revealed significant differences in food intake between NAFLD patients and healthy individuals, with NAFLD patients consuming less dairy, legumes, healthy fats, fish, vegetables, and nuts, while consuming more meat, compared to recommended dietary patterns.
Lifestyle intervention improves cardiometabolic profiles among children with metabolically healthy and metabolically unhealthy obesity.

Endocrine and Metabolic Unit, Institute for Medical Research, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Setia Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.
Background: In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in the metabolic phenotype among children with obesity characterized by the absence of associated cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs), known as metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), as opposed to those with metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO). This study investigated the effect of lifestyle intervention on CRFs among children with MHO and MUO.
Methods: A total of 102 school-aged children with obesity (54 girls and 48 boys) aged 8-16 years completed a 16-week school-based lifestyle modification intervention program, MyBFF@school Phase I.
Changes in diet quality across life transitions from adolescence to early adulthood: a latent growth analysis.

Background: Adolescence to early adulthood is a period of multiple life transitions. These transitions, along with changing resources and contexts, could contribute to significant changes in diet, which may persist into later adulthood.
Objectives: We investigated diet quality trajectories from age 15 to 31 y and changes in diet quality associated with life transitions by sex.
