The aims of this study were to examine self-reported adherence to recommended micronutrient...Association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Obesity in a Pediatric Population
In adult populations, the pathology of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is mainly related to obesity. In contrast, early studies in pediatric populations suggested adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) to be the main causes of OSAS in children, making adenotonsillectomy the first line of treatment. Early consensus was that, in contrast to adults, pediatric OSAS...An Examination of Nutritional Outcomes from an Intensive Outpatient Pediatric Feeding Program for Children with Feeding Difficulties
Children with feeding disorders consume an insufficient volume or variety of food. This can compromise growth and development and the child may require enteral nutrition.

State and federal legislation and regulations influence the creation, maintenance, and revision of local SDWP. The objectives of this study were to examine the strength and comprehensiveness of local SDWP content categories, the...The Influence of Caregivers and Meal Decision Makers on the Nutritional Content of Fast Foods Purchased for Children
Fast food consumption has been shown to contribute to excess caloric intake and the development of obesity. Interventions that target key contributors to meal decisions have been suggested as a means for improving the foods that children select.
