Trends in 4th−12th grade students' aerobic capacity and muscular strength and endurance
Background Systematically monitoring youth fitness over time is critical for designing and implementing policies and interventions to maintain/increase youth fitness and reduce the burden of non-communicable disease. This study describes trends in student fitness over school years 2006/07–2018/19, the longest period for which US-based data are available. Methods This observational, longitudinal study uses 13 years of population-weighted data from…
Asthma management in schools
Asthma is a leading chronic condition among school-aged children and a major driver of absenteeism. Since attendance is linked to academic success, graduation, and earnings, interventions reducing asthma-related absences may improve educational trajectories. We evaluate a program that placed asthma case managers in New York City public schools to engage directly with students and families. Using novel linked health-education data and a triple-dif…
Depressive Symptoms, Emergency Care, and School Climate
BACKGROUND: As rates of depression and anxiety continue to rise, prevention, and treatment of poor mental health in adolescents is a major challenge for population health. Within the US context, a growing body of literature is examining the relationship between school climate and student mental health. METHODS: We extend the notion of school climate and mesosystem effects by creating an emergency department visit intensity, a novel indirect summa…
Data Missingness and Equity Implications in the Nation's Largest Student Fitness Surveillance System
BACKGROUND: Data missingness can bias interpretation and outcomes resulting from data use. We describe data missingness in the longest-standing US-based youth fitness surveillance system (2006/07-2019/20). METHODS: This observational study uses the New York City FITNESSGRAM (NYCFG) database from 1,983,629 unique 4th-12th grade students (9,147,873 student-year observations) from 1756 schools. NYCFG tests for aerobic capacity, muscular strength, an…
Severe obesity and fitness in New York City public school youth, 2010–2018
Findings revealed that more severe obesity was associated with lower fitness. Future research is needed to develop targeted interventions to improve fitness in youth with obesity
The impact of change in neighborhood poverty on BMI trajectory of 37,544 New York City youth
Youth who moved to higher poverty neighborhoods experienced less favorable BMI z-score trajectories for obesity risk, though effects were small and most consistent for females and younger youth. Additional research is needed to illuminate neighborhood poverty's impact on obesity, in order to inform policy, intervention, clinical, and research efforts to reduce obesity and improve child well-being
