  • It’s Not Healthy to Be Too Large”—A Qualitative Study Using Participatory Methods to Explore Children’s and Adolescents’ Perspectives on Obesity Treatment and Body Image

    Open AccessTove Langlo Drilen, Trine Tetlie Eik‐Nes et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Body image was influenced by HCPs' emphasis on health and body size, and by their own internalized perceptions, influenced by societal ideals and experiences of stigma

  • Perceived body size across sex and weight categories and its association with body size dissatisfaction

    Open AccessTove Langlo Drilen, Trine Tetlie Eik‐Nes et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Boys and girls from all weight categories frequently misperceived their body size toward their ideal body size, with overestimation of underweight and average weight status and underestimation of overweight status being most frequently reported. No association was found between BSM and BSD, however, the long-term health consequences of BSM should be further elucidated

  • Imagined foodways and rejected biopedagogies

    Open AccessEllen Margrete Iveland Ersfjord, Tanja Plasil et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society2024

    Rural residency is an independent risk factor for being overweight, but little is known about why this is so. The purpose of our study was to gain insight into what Norwegian rural children say about a rural diet in comparison to an urban one. Child‐friendly methods were used. We found a discrepancy between what the children said they eat – traditional, ‘healthy’ foods, and what they ate – largely ultra‐processed foods. We explored this by using …

  • The pen, the receiver and the pump

    Open AccessJulie Hansen, Julie Elisabeth Dahl Hansen et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society2021

    In this article, we explore young children's experiences of having a parent with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

This seemed related to how and what the parents taught them about diabetes, the individual child's curiosity and interest, and the parent's history with fluctuating blood sugar levels. Several children wer…

    Open AccessEllen Margrete Iveland ErsfjordARTICLEChildhood2018Referencias: 27

    Within the social studies of children and childhood, children's humor is an under-explored area. In this article, I explore the use of humor by children diagnosed with severe obesity while attending long-term rehabilitation together with their families. In the children's use of humor, I found a transition from the use of "fat jokes" to "biopedagogical humor," which involved jokes about instructions related to food and physical activity as conveye…

  • Look mommy, I'm eating the plate model!' Biopedagogies and coping with obesity through objectification

    Open AccessEllen Margrete Iveland ErsfjordARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2018Citada por: 3Referencias: 10

    Childhood obesity is increasing in many parts of the world. For the child, obesity often involves major social challenges. Within the framework of social studies of children and childhood and employing the concept of biopedagogies, I explore how children with severe obesity who participate in a long-term rehabilitation programme changed the perception of their bodies from 'being fat' to 'suffering from obesity' by embracing the biopedagogies invo…
