The Impact of Physical Activity Restrictions on Health-Related Fitness in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are often restricted from some types of physical activity (PA) despite the lack of evidence regarding the need to restrict recreational PA, apart from those with rhythm disorders. This study retrospectively investigated the associations between parent-reported activity restrictions (on-going need to restrict exertion, body contact or competition) and measures of health-related fitness among 236 childre…
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Among Children and Adolescents With Depression
Aim: To examine CVD risk factors among children and adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Methods: A cross-sectional study of 77 children and adolescents (mean age 14.1 years, 74% female) referred to a pediatric depression program. MDD was assessed using a semi-structured diagnostic interview. Cardiovascular assessments included family cardiovascular disease (CVD) history, cigarette smoking, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, lipi…
Interactions with Home and Health Environments Discourage Physical Activity
Children with complex congenital heart disease are less active than recommended for optimal health, with social and physical environments important determinants. The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity perceptions of children with complex congenital heart disease and their parents to identify social and physical environment intervention targets. A semi-structured discussion guide elicited physical activity perceptions from …
Paediatric Obesity Research in Early Childhood and the Primary Care Setting
Primary paediatric health care is the foundation for preventative child health. In light of the recent obesity epidemic, paediatricians find themselves at the frontline of identification and management of childhood obesity. However, it is well recognized that evidence based approaches to obesity prevention and subsequent translation of this evidence into practice are critically needed. This paper explores the role of primary care in obesity preve…
Motivational Interviewing as an intervention to increase adolescent self-efficacy and promote weight loss
Results from this study are expected to enhance our understanding of the efficacy of MI with children and adolescents who are overweight or obese
Parental factors associated with screen time in pre-school children in primary-care practice
Objective To identify child and parental factors associated with screen time in 3-year-old children. Design Observational study. Setting Participants were recruited from a large primary-care paediatric group practice in Toronto, Canada. Subjects Healthy 3-year-old children were included. A questionnaire was completed by their parents on screen time. Descriptive statistics and linear regression models were used to assess associations between child…
