Published: August 2015

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review was to describe the potential for general childhood population-based screening of risk of symptomatic type 1 diabetes (T1D) RECENT FINDINGS: The earliest stages of T1D can be identified and risk and rate of progression to symptomatic disease can be estimated by the presence of multiple islet autoantibodies and glucose intolerance (dysglycemia) in individuals screened for risk. Screening for human leukocyte antigen risk genotypes in neonates with follow-up detection of islet autoantibodies in childhood has been explored. An alternative approach of general childhood population-based detection of autoantibodies at well child visits provides an approach to detect a high proportion of children who will develop T1D. The Fr1da study was launched in Bavaria in 2015 to explore this concept.

Summary: General childhood population-based screening for risk of T1D will allow detection of an at-risk population that can participate in natural history studies to better understand disease pathogenesis and intervention trials to prevent symptomatic disease and will provide a framework for public health-based prevention of childhood-onset T1D.

The association between early childhood serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and eosinophilic asthma remains unclear. We investigated this association using multicentre prospective data from 584 children with a history of bronchiolitis requiring hospitalisation (high-risk population). Low serum 25(OH)D levels (<20 ng/mL) were associated with increased odds of developing eosinophilic asthma (adjusted OR 2.

There is a lack of evidence regarding associations of eye-level greenness exposure with blood pressure among children. We aimed to investigate the associations between eye-level greenness of different types and pediatric blood pressure in China. From 2012 to 2013, we recruited 9354 children aged between 5 and 17 years in northeast China.

Background: This study investigated the long-term impact of the primary school-based multicomponent lifestyle intervention "Lekker Fit!" (LF) on obesity-related outcomes, and studied whether the impact differed between population subgroups.

Methods: Children from the Generation R Study (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) were categorized into the LF group (6 years exposure, between the ages 6/7 to 12/13 years) or regular school group (no exposure). BMI and DXA-derived fat mass were assessed after 4 years of intervention (age 10 years), and 1.

It is unknown if children and youth who live in rural or "less rural" locations who enroll in the provincially funded Generation Health Clinic (British Columbia, Canada), a family-based lifestyle program for weight management, present with different health behaviors at baseline. Thus, we assessed sociodemographic and health behavior (diet, physical activity, and sleep) collected between 2015 and 2019. Data were stratified by age (children: ≤12 years; adolescents: ≥13 years) and geographical location ("less urban" and urban) based on Statistics Canada definitions and then analyzed using independent -tests and chisquare tests.

The error-related negativity (ERN) has been called a putative neural marker of anxiety risk in children, with smaller ERN amplitudes denoting greater risk in early childhood. Children of anxious mothers are at elevated risk for anxiety problems compared to children of non-anxious mothers. Still unknown is whether discrete maternal symptoms interact with child ERN to predict different forms of child anxiety risk, knowledge of which could increase our understanding of the specificity of known conditions and pathways for transgenerational effects.
