Background: Children with overweight and obesity are at risk for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). During lifestyle adjustment, the first step in the treatment of childhood obesity, body proportions are likely to change. The aim of this study was to examine how lifestyle intervention affects creatinine-based kidney function estimation in children with overweight and obesity.
Methods: This longitudinal lifestyle intervention study included 614 children with overweight and obesity (mean age 12.17 ± 3.28 years, 53.6% female, mean BMI z-score 3.32 ± 0.75). Loss to follow-up was present: 305, 146, 70, 26, and 10 children were included after 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (about yearly) follow-up visits, respectively. Serum creatinine (SCr) was rescaled using Q-age and Q-height polynomials.
Results: At baseline, 95-97% of the children had a SCr/Q-height and SCr/Q-age in the normal reference range [0.67-1.33]. SCr/Q significantly increased each (about yearly) follow-up visit, and linear mixed regression analyses demonstrated slopes between 0.01 and 0.04 (corresponding with eGFR FAS reduction of 1.1-4.1 mL/min/1.73 m) per visit. BMI z-score reduced in both sexes and this reduction was significantly higher in males. No correlation between change in rescaled SCr and BMI z-score reduction could be demonstrated.
Conclusions: Rescaled serum creatinine (SCr/Q) slightly increases during multidiscipline lifestyle intervention in this cohort of children with overweight and obesity. This effect seems to be independent from change in BMI z-score. Whether this minor decrease in estimated kidney function has clinical consequences in the long term remains to be seen in trials with a longer follow-up period.

Background: We aimed to evaluate how the parameters used in the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and parameters such as epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness, insulin resistance (IR), and serum uric acid (SUA) are affected according to the severity of obesity.
Methods: A total of 120 obese patients aged 10-18 years were classified as class 1-2-3 according to their body mass index (BMI) score. SUA was measured and oral glucose tolerance tests were performed on all patients.

Design: Analysis of data from two cross-sectional surveys.
Setting And Participants: 921 children from 2016 to 2021 and 1505 adults from 2018 to 2021 living in iodine-sufficient areas from Tianjin, China were recruited.

Background: Childhood overweight and obesity are significant global public health challenges that affect approximately 340 million children worldwide. In Georgia, the prevalence of childhood obesity is alarming, with approximately 28% of 7-year-old children classified as overweight or obese in 2019. This study aimed to investigate the key factors associated with overweight and obesity among school-age children in Georgia.

Background: In England, 23% of children aged 11 start their teenage years living with obesity. An adolescent living with obesity is five times more likely to live with obesity in adult life. There is limited research and policy incorporating adolescents' views on how they experience the commercial determinants of dietary behaviour and obesity, which misses an opportunity to improve services and policies that aim to influence the prevalence of childhood obesity.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to synthesize evidence from primary studies on the acceptability and effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for improving lifestyle behaviors and body mass index (BMI) in children with overweight or obesity. We conducted a meta-analysis or followed the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (SWiM) guidelines to synthesize study findings. The analysis included both mindfulness-only interventions and comprehensive behavioral interventions incorporating mindfulness components.
