Summary: The present study translated and validated an Arabic version of the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-R18 (TFEQ-R18), which assesses eating behaviour traits among Arabic speakers in three domains: cognitive restraint (CR), uncontrolled eating (UE), and emotional eating (EE). The study confirmed the cross-linguistic translation and comprehension of the questionnaire, and validated the revised Arabic version of TFEQ-R18. The Arabic TFEQ-R18 demonstrated good construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability, and showed associations with gender, BMI, and age group.

Summary: This cross-sectional study examined emotional eating, uncontrolled eating, and restrained eating behaviors in a population of Ghanaian university students. The study found that emotional eating was associated with BMI in males and anxiety and sleep quality in females. Overweight and obese females had higher emotional eating scores compared to healthy weight females.

Summary: This study found a relationship between several components of decision making and eating disorder prodromes. Helping young people engage in moderate risk taking and improving decision making might reduce the later presence of eating disorder prodromes.

Summary: This study aims to examine whether weight perceptions change during adolescence and whether these transitions predict disordered eating. The results show that 77.2% of adolescents had stable weight perceptions, while 15.5% transitioned to perceiving themselves as overweight and 7.3% stopped perceiving themselves as overweight. Perceiving oneself as overweight, especially in late adolescence, was associated with higher risk of concurrent and long-term disordered eating. Rating: 8 out of 10.

Summary: The study found that half of the variation in LDL-C level after statin initiation is due to differences in statin response, around one third is due to differences in pre-statin LDL-C level, and the remaining variation is due to other factors. Among first-degree relatives and spouses, family accounts for a proportion of the variation in statin response.

Summary: This study explores the influence of genetics and environment on counterproductive and citizenship behaviors in the workplace. Findings suggest that familial resemblance for nontask performance increases with genetic relationship, but genetic factors only moderately contribute to workplace behavior. Family members are more similar in counterproductive behavior than citizenship behavior, and spouse influence on nontask performance is limited.

Summary: This study found that unhealthy eating behaviors are related to individual chronobiological differences, with cognitive eating restraint and uncontrolled eating associated with the morning subscale, and emotional eating associated with the evening subscale. These associations are supported by the correlations found between morning vs. evening components of earliness-lateness.

Summary: Disordered eating poses a significant burden on society, but limited research has been conducted from a developmental epidemiological perspective. This study used a large nationally representative sample to conduct network analyses and found that dieting for weight loss was the most important symptom across networks. Additionally, there were significant differences in networks based on sex, grade, and race.

Summary: This study investigated the familial resemblance and heritability of dietary intakes in different age-sex dyads. The findings showed a weak-to-moderate similarity between the nutrient intakes of parents and offspring. The resemblance degree varied between different family pairs, with the strongest correlation observed between spouses. The heritability of nutrient intake ranged from 3% to 21%. These results suggest that genetics, family relationships, and the effects of parents can influence an individual's nutrient intake, although environmental factors also play a significant role.

Summary: Evidence suggests a link between maternal obesity during pregnancy and offspring attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. This study aimed to examine the association between maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and child hyperactivity-inattention symptoms (HIS) at different ages. The results showed that maternal pre-pregnancy obesity was associated with increased likelihood of a high HIS trajectory in children from 3 to 8 years old, while pre-pregnancy overweight was not significantly associated.

Summary: This study found that preschoolers' lifestyle patterns were associated with their socio-emotional, behavioural, and BMI outcomes at 8 years old. Boys' healthy lifestyle pattern (nutrient-dense diet and limited screen time) was positively associated with prosocial behaviours and inversely related to hyperactivity-inattention symptoms at 8 years old. Girls' mixed lifestyle pattern (sugar or artificially sweetened beverages, high screen time, physical activity, and low sleep times) was associated with prosocial behaviours.

Summary: This narrative systematic review examined the effectiveness of interventions during pregnancy and early childhood in improving energy balance-related behaviors and preventing obesity in children from disadvantaged families. The review found that interventions targeting breastfeeding initiation and multi-behavioral interventions were most effective in reducing obesity risk. Interventions involving first-time mothers, professional delivery agents, multidisciplinary teams, and peer groups were also more likely to be effective. The review highlighted the importance of co-creation with stakeholders and adherence to theoretical frameworks for developing inclusive and effective programs.

Summary: A study investigated the associations between maternal diet quality and allergic and respiratory diseases in children. The results showed that maternal diet quality during pregnancy was not associated with allergic and respiratory diseases, but children from mothers consuming legumes less frequently were at higher risk of having multiple allergies.

Summary: The study found that parental lifestyle factors during preconception and pregnancy are associated with the future risk of child obesity. Parental smoking, body mass index, gestational weight gain, diet, physical activity, and sedentary behavior all play a role in the risk of overweight and BMI in children. These findings are important for informing early-life family-based and multi-behavioral strategies for child obesity prevention.

Summary: This study examines the correlation between complementary feeding practices in early childhood and allergic diseases. It finds that delayed introduction of complementary feeding beyond 6 months is associated with an increased risk of food allergy. Additionally, a low diversity score in the diet at 8 months is linked to a higher risk of asthma, and the absence of two or more allergenic foods introduced by 10 months is associated with an increased risk of rhinoconjunctivitis and food allergy.

Summary: This study compared lifestyle patterns among preschool-aged children in Europe and found that children from low-income households and born to mothers with low education level were more likely to have unhealthy lifestyle patterns, which were associated with higher BMI. These findings are valuable for informing early multi-behavioral interventions aimed at reducing social inequalities in health in Europe.

Summary: Green space availability, accessibility, and use showed a social gradient that favored higher socioeconomic groups. However, there were no statistically significant associations between green space exposures and cognitive function outcomes in the overall study population. Living within 300 m of a major green space was associated with improved working memory in children from less deprived areas, while more time spent playing in green spaces was associated with better working memory in children with highly educated mothers. However, studying within 300 m of a major green space increased inattention scores in children from more deprived areas.
