Association between protein-to-energy ratio and overweight/obesity in children and adolescents in the United States: a cross-sectional study based on NHANES.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The dietary protein proportion may be crucial in triggering overweight and obesity among children and adolescents.

Methods

Cross-sectional data from 4,336 children and adolescents who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) between 2011 and March 2020 were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Restricted cubic splines assessed the nonlinear relationships between dietary protein intake and the prevalence of overweight and obesity.

Results

Adjusted logistic regression models showed that each 1% increase in dietary protein proportion was associated with a 4% higher risk of overweight and obesity (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.07). A nonlinear relationship was noted in children aged 6-11 years (P < 0.05), as demonstrated by restricted cubic spline analysis. After dividing dietary protein intake into quartiles, the highest quartile had an adjusted OR of 2.07 (95% CI: 1.35, 3.16, P = 0.001) compared to the lowest, among children aged 6-11 years.

Conclusion

Dietary protein intake is positively linked to overweight and obesity in American children, irrespective of individual characteristics and total energy consumption.

Project description:Background and objectiveThe neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio (NPAR) is an emerging, costimulatory indicator of inflammation that is associated with a variety of diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between NPAR and gallstones (GS) has not yet been explored. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association of the NPAR with the odds of GS and the age of patients at the time of their first GS surgery.MethodsParticipants were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in the United States, a nationally representative survey. Logistic regression analysis and dose-response curve were performed to analyze the relationship between NPAR and the prevalence of GS. Multiple linear regression analysis and dose-response curve were used to analyze the association between NPAR and the age of patients at the time of their first GS surgery. Subgroup analyses further explored the relationships between NPAR and age, sex, race, body mass index, hypertension, and diabetes.ResultsIn total, 7805 adults aged > 20 years were included in this study, of whom 838 had a history of GS. After adjusting for all potential confounders, each 1-unit increase in NPAR was found to be associated with a 4% increase in the prevalence of GS (odds ratio (OR): 1.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02, 1.07) and an advancement in the age of the patient at the time of the first GS surgery by 0.35 years (β = - 0.35, 95% CI: - 0.68, - 0.02). Dose-response curves further confirmed that NPAR was positively associated with the prevalence of GS and negatively associated with the age of patients at the time of their first GS surgery. The results of the subgroup analyses suggested that after adjusting for all potential confounders, the positive association of NPAR with the prevalence of GS was more pronounced in the 40-59-year-old (OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.12), male (OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.12), non-Hispanic Black (OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.12), non-hypertensive (OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.10), and non-diabetic populations (OR=: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.08).ConclusionsThe higher the NPAR, the higher the prevalence of GS, and the earlier the age of the patient at the time of the first GS surgery. Due to the nature of cross-sectional study, it is not possible to determine a causal relationship between them.

Project description:IntroductionChildren and adolescents with overweight and obesity have an impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, it is unclear which of these children are most affected in their physical, psychological, and social functioning. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate HRQoL in treatment-seeking children and adolescents with overweight, obesity, and severe obesity.MethodsA cross-sectional study was performed at the Centre for Overweight Adolescent and Children's Healthcare (COACH). Children and adolescents (8-17 years) with overweight, obesity, and severe obesity were included. The primary outcome was the self-reported HRQoL measured with the KIDSCREEN-27.ResultsA total of 419 participants with overweight (N = 121), obesity (N = 182), and severe obesity (N = 116) were included. One-way ANOVA analysis showed that children and adolescents with severe obesity reported significantly lower physical well-being (41.25 ± 13.14) compared to those with overweight (47.91 ± 12.53; p < 0.001) and obesity (46.74 ± 11.93; p < 0.001). Furthermore, impaired psychological well-being was found in the group with severe obesity (45.14 ± 13.27) in comparison to the group with overweight (50.90 ± 9.48; p < 0.001) and obesity (49.71 ± 10.95; p = 0.002). Multivariable linear regression analysis, while correcting for age, sex, cardio metabolic health risk, and ethnicity, revealed similar results. Additionally, children and adolescents with severe obesity scored lower regarding autonomy and parent relation than those with overweight (B = 3.95; p = 0.009). In almost all groups and dimensions of the KIDSCREEN-27, caregivers scored lower compared to the children and adolescents themselves. Furthermore, a low child-caregiver agreement seemed to exist, especially in the children and adolescents with overweight.ConclusionThe HRQoL of treatment-seeking children and adolescents with overweight and obesity was most affected in children and adolescents with the most severe grade of obesity. Following these findings, lifestyle intervention programs targeting childhood obesity should be aware of this even more vulnerable group so that treatments can be tailored according to their needs.

Project description:ImportancePrevious analyses of obesity trends among children and adolescents showed an increase between 1988-1994 and 1999-2000, but no change between 2003-2004 and 2011-2012, except for a significant decline among children aged 2 to 5 years.ObjectivesTo provide estimates of obesity and extreme obesity prevalence for children and adolescents for 2011-2014 and investigate trends by age between 1988-1994 and 2013-2014.Design, setting, and participantsChildren and adolescents aged 2 to 19 years with measured weight and height in the 1988-1994 through 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.ExposuresSurvey period.Main outcomes and measuresObesity was defined as a body mass index (BMI) at or above the sex-specific 95th percentile on the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) BMI-for-age growth charts. Extreme obesity was defined as a BMI at or above 120% of the sex-specific 95th percentile on the CDC BMI-for-age growth charts. Detailed estimates are presented for 2011-2014. The analyses of linear and quadratic trends in prevalence were conducted using 9 survey periods. Trend analyses between 2005-2006 and 2013-2014 also were conducted.ResultsMeasurements from 40,780 children and adolescents (mean age, 11.0 years; 48.8% female) between 1988-1994 and 2013-2014 were analyzed. Among children and adolescents aged 2 to 19 years, the prevalence of obesity in 2011-2014 was 17.0% (95% CI, 15.5%-18.6%) and extreme obesity was 5.8% (95% CI, 4.9%-6.8%). Among children aged 2 to 5 years, obesity increased from 7.2% (95% CI, 5.8%-8.8%) in 1988-1994 to 13.9% (95% CI, 10.7%-17.7%) (P < .001) in 2003-2004 and then decreased to 9.4% (95% CI, 6.8%-12.6%) (P = .03) in 2013-2014. Among children aged 6 to 11 years, obesity increased from 11.3% (95% CI, 9.4%-13.4%) in 1988-1994 to 19.6% (95% CI, 17.1%-22.4%) (P < .001) in 2007-2008, and then did not change (2013-2014: 17.4% [95% CI, 13.8%-21.4%]; P = .44). Obesity increased among adolescents aged 12 to 19 years between 1988-1994 (10.5% [95% CI, 8.8%-12.5%]) and 2013-2014 (20.6% [95% CI, 16.2%-25.6%]; P < .001) as did extreme obesity among children aged 6 to 11 years (3.6% [95% CI, 2.5%-5.0%] in 1988-1994 to 4.3% [95% CI, 3.0%-6.1%] in 2013-2014; P = .02) and adolescents aged 12 to 19 years (2.6% [95% CI, 1.7%-3.9%] in 1988-1994 to 9.1% [95% CI, 7.0%-11.5%] in 2013-2014; P < .001). No significant trends were observed between 2005-2006 and 2013-2014 (P value range, .09-.87).Conclusions and relevanceIn this nationally representative study of US children and adolescents aged 2 to 19 years, the prevalence of obesity in 2011-2014 was 17.0% and extreme obesity was 5.8%. Between 1988-1994 and 2013-2014, the prevalence of obesity increased until 2003-2004 and then decreased in children aged 2 to 5 years, increased until 2007-2008 and then leveled off in children aged 6 to 11 years, and increased among adolescents aged 12 to 19 years.
