Material and Methods: The study, which included obese, overweight and normal weight children, was designed as a quasi-experimental controlled study. An eight-week core stabilization exercise program was implemented to the children. In the first two-weeks of the eight-weeks exercise training, the children were taught how to stabilize the core region. Upper extremity motor skills were evaluated before-after the exercise program. The push-up test, grip strength measurement, Modified Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Ex-tremity Stability Test (M-CKCUEST), Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 Short Form (BOT-2 SF), was used to evaluate upper extremity motor skills. SPSS 25.0 program was used for statistical analysis of the data. Significance level was determined as p<0.05. The normality distribution of continuous variables was evaluated with the Shapiro-Wilk test. When comparing the pre-test and post-test values, the dependent sample t-test was used if the data showed normal distribution, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used if it did not show normal distribution. Results: The study was completed with 46 children, 12 obese, 18 overweight, and 16 normal weight. Statistically significant improvement was obtained in the M-CKCUEST and BOT-2 SF subtests in obese children (p<0.05). In the overweight and normal weight children, there was a significant improvement in the push-up test, M-CKCUEST and BOT-2 SF subtests (p<0.05). No significant re-sults were found in the inter-group analysis of all tests (p>0.05). Con-clusion: Core stabilization exercises in overweight and obese children can improve upper extremity motor skills.","PeriodicalId":39104,"journal":{"name":"Turkiye Klinikleri Pediatri","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70796027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the changing nutritional habits and socioeconomic level in Türkiye, there is no current epidemiological study conducted on Turkish children. In this study, it was aimed to obtain the current frequency of H. pylori in childhood with fecal antigen test which demonstrates only active infection and to show its relationship with clinical findings. This is a cross-sectional study conducted be-tween January 2019 and February 2021. Children who applied to the pediatric outpatient clinic were asked to give stool samples regardless of their presenting complaints. Material and Methods: Presence of H. pylori was determined with fecal H. pylori antigen test. The parents of the subjects were later asked to complete a questionnaire by telephone interview. The questionnaire solicited information on parents’ demographic and socio-economic characteristics. Results: A total of 543 children were included in the study (M: 302, F: 241). Fecal H. pylori antigen test was positive in 11.8% of the children (n=64). The complaints of abdominal pain, halitosis and diarrhea were found to be significantly more common in H. pylori -positive children (p<0.001 for all). As for the socio-demographic characteristics, frequency of H. pylori positivity was shown to be higher in children living in more crowded houses and consuming unbottled water. No relation was found with parents’ education level or breast milk intake. Conclusion: This study reflects the actual frequency of H. pylori positivity in İ stanbul province. Also, remarkable associations of H. pylori positivity with clinical and socio-demographic characteristics have been demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":39104,"journal":{"name":"Turkiye Klinikleri Pediatri","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70796525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
