However, adolescents in developing countries, including Ethiopia, have received little attention from nutrition-related programs in recent decades. Consequently, malnutrition among adolescents is a widespread issue in these regions.The study aimed to identify the determinants of thinness among school adolescents in the Legehida district of South Wollo Zone, Northeastern Ethiopia.A school-based, unmatched case-control study was conducted from January 20 to February 2, 2019. A total of 525 school-aged adolescents (175 cases and 350 controls) from the Legehida district were enrolled using a multistage sampling technique. Data were collected through interview-administered questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. EpiData version 3.1 was used for data entry, while Anthroplus software was employed for anthropometric measurement entry and analysis. The data were then exported to SPSS version 25 for further analysis. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the determinants of adolescent thinness.In this study, thinness among school adolescents was significantly associated with several factors: the absence of a latrine at home [AOR = 8.2, 95% CI (3.8, 8.17)], meal skipping per day [AOR = 3.1, 95% CI (1.2, 7.3)], inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables [AOR = 7.5, 95% CI (3.9, 14.5)], having more than four household members [AOR = 13.6, 95% CI (7.1, 26)], and the consumption of unsafe water [AOR = 7.7, 95% CI (3.8, 15.6)].The absence of latrines and access to clean water, dietary factors, and family size emerged as significant contributors to adolescent thinness in this study. Addressing the nutritional challenges faced by adolescents will require collaborative efforts across sectors.","PeriodicalId":512405,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Adolescent Medicine","volume":"36 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141663876","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}

Children were categorized as healthy weight, overweight, class 1 obesity, class 2 obesity and class 3 obesity. The distribution of CCHC children's weight status was compared with Hispanic participants of the NHANES with matched age, sex, and the year of the interview. An ordinal least square regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between individual and household characteristics with CCHC children's weight status.Approximately 48.0% of CCHC children had a healthy weight, 17.9% were overweight, 22.2% were in class 1 obesity, 7.7% were in class 2 obesity, and 4.3% were in category 3. The weight distribution of the CCHC cohort was similar to that in the matched NHANES participants (p = 0.28). Being overweight was associated with higher household income (OR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.01–5.02) while being in class 2 and class 3 obesity was associated with boys (Class 2 & 3 obesity: OR = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.27–6.81) and environmental factors such as parents' BMI (Class 2 and3 Obesity: OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.05–1.21).Family socioeconomic status was positively associated with being overweight and Class 1 obesity, while gender and parent's BMI affected a child's likelihood of being class 2 and 3 obesity.","PeriodicalId":512405,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Adolescent Medicine","volume":"19 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140738037","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}

Multiple barriers to fertility preservation at pediatric institutions have been well described. Numerous logistical barriers can impede successful sperm cryopreservation. We analyzed our institution's experience in optimizing workflows to improve sperm-banking rates. Our processes improvement included: (1) striving for a fertility consult for each newly diagnosed male, (2) utilization of a member of the oncology provider team serving as a fertility navigator (FN) providing fertility consultation and counseling services.Sperm banking rates at St. Louis Children's Hospital were reviewed and compared for three discrete calendar years spanning the implementation of these enhancements (2017, 2019, 2022). We plotted process changes over time to assess their impact on the rate of successful sperm-banking in eligible AYA males newly diagnosed with cancer.The rate of consults for sperm banking prior to therapy increased from 18% in 2017 to 91% in 2022 (p = .0003). Rates of sperm banking in eligible males increased from 18% to 82% (p = .0015) between 2017 and 2022.Embedding a FN who is also a member of the primary oncology team increases not only the fertility consult rate but also the rate of successful sperm-banking in AYA males who are newly diagnosed with cancer at pediatric institutions.","PeriodicalId":512405,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Adolescent Medicine","volume":"237 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140233559","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}
