Glenn Weaver, Bridget Armstrong, Keith Brazendale, Xuanxuan Zhu, Brian Chen, Alexander McLain","doi":"10.1001/jamapediatrics.2024.3693","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1001/jamapediatrics.2024.3693","url":null,"abstract":"ImportanceChildren experience accelerated gains in body mass index (BMI) during the summer months when school is not in session. Children from low-income households are most susceptible. Accelerated BMI gain in summer may be due to the removal of the health-promoting structure provided by schools. During summer, a common form of health-promoting structure is summer day camps (SDCs). Summer day camps are predominately fee for service, which creates a financial barrier for children from low-income households. One solution to mitigate accelerated BMI gain is providing free access to an existing SDC.ObjectiveTo investigate whether providing free access to an existing community SDC can mitigate accelerated BMI <jats:italic>z</jats:italic> score (zBMI) gain in elementary school–age children.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted during the summers of 2021, 2022, and 2023 in the southeastern United States. Participants were children (kindergarten through fourth grade) from predominantly low-income households who were randomized to attend an SDC operated by a parks and recreation commission or continue summer as usual (control).InterventionFree SDC every weekday (Monday through Friday) for 8 to 10 weeks.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was between-group differences in change of zBMI measured before school ended (May) and on return to school from summer (late August). Secondary analyses examined the dose response of zBMI change with parent-reported child attendance at SDCs during the summer for all children (intervention and control).ResultsA total of 422 children (mean [SD] age, 8.2 [1.5] years; 202 [48%] female, 220 [52%] male, 292 [69%] at or below 200% federal poverty level, 127 [30%] with food insecurity) were randomized to 1 of 2 conditions: summer as usual (control, n = 199) or free SDC (n = 223). Intent-to-treat analysis indicated mean (SE) change in zBMI at the end of the summer was 0.046 (0.027) for the control and −0.048 (0.025) for the intervention group, representing a significant between-group difference of −0.094 (95% CI, −0.166 to −0.022). Dose-response analyses indicated that every 1 day per week increase in attending an SDC resulted in a −0.034 to −0.018 zBMI reduction, which translates to a gain of 0.046 to 0.080 zBMI for children never attending summer programming vs −0.09 to −0.04 zBMI reduction for children attending summer programming every weekday.Conclusions and RelevanceProviding children free access to existing community summer programming can have a meaningful effect on children’s zBMI gain during the summer. Future studies should replicate these findings across different regions and identify the optimal dose of programming to mitigate unhealthy zBMI gains.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04072549\">NCT04072549</jats:ext-link>","PeriodicalId":14683,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Pediatrics","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":26.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142431387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Median (IQR) state social expenditures per low-income person were $1546 ($1074-$2323). Greater total state social expenditures were associated with lower overall rates of preterm birth (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] for every increase of $1000 per low-income person, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.97-0.999) but not with overall rates of low birth weight. In secondary analyses, greater state social expenditures were associated with lower preterm birth rates for infants of Black mothers (aPR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.92-0.999).

It is currently unknown whether GLP1R treatment is associated with suicidal ideation or attempts in this population.ObjectiveTo investigate the association between GLP1R initiation and suicidal ideation or attempts in adolescents with obesity.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsRetrospective propensity score–matched cohort study using electronic health records from the TriNetX global federated network between December 2019 and June 2024. The analysis included data from 120 health care organizations, mainly from the USA. Participants were adolescents aged 12 to 18 years with a diagnosis of obesity and evidence of an antiobesity GLP1R prescription or lifestyle intervention without GLP1R within the following year. Cohorts were balanced for baseline demographic characteristics, psychiatric medications and comorbidities, and diagnoses associated with socioeconomic status and health care access using propensity score matching.ExposureInitial prescription of GLP1R (study cohort) or lifestyle intervention without GLP1R (control cohort).Main Outcomes and MeasuresIncidence of suicidal ideation or attempts based on <jats:italic>International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision</jats:italic> codes recorded in patient electronic health records during 12 months of follow-up. Diagnoses of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) were used as negative control outcomes, and gastrointestinal symptoms (GI) were used as positive control outcomes.ResultsA total of 4052 adolescents with obesity and a concomitant antiobesity intervention were identified for the GLP1R cohort and 50 112 were identified for the control cohort. Propensity score matching resulted in 3456 participants in each balanced cohort.

These results suggest a favorable psychiatric safety profile of GLP1R in adolescents. The detected reduction in HRs for suicidal ideation among adolescents with obesity prescribed GLP1R suggests potential avenues for future research.","PeriodicalId":14683,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Pediatrics","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":26.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142431433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
