• W117228963 abstract "Statistics today indicate a 45% increase in diet-related problems, especially among African American (AA) children. Evidence of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and early sexual maturation among AA girls warrants an investigation of their food intake. The present study analyzed the food intake among AA girls. 45 AA girls ages 7-10 years & guardians were recruited from various Boys & Girls Clubs. The Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals & Fallon & Rozin's (1985) Body Image Checklist were used to assess the food intake & body image perceptions of the young girls. The Food Guide Pyramid was used to code the food groups consumed. Parents reported the development of sexual characteristics in their girls. The expectations that the young AA girls would display unhealthy eating habits, that there would be a difference in food intake as a function of early sexual maturation, & body image satisfaction would not vary as a function of early puberty, were confirmed. These findings are important because a description of specific foods eaten by the young girls, rather than their breakdown into food elements, can be used to communicate with the population, as well as help establish support systems for these emerging child-women. Statistics today indicate an increase in childhood obesity and diabetes. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) II (1976-80), NHANES III (1988-94), NHANES (1999-2002), the prevalence of overweight among children ages 6-11 years increased from an estimated 7 to 16 percent. The most recent NHANES report found a 45 percent increase from the incidence of overweight estimates obtained from the NHANES III. Thus, the current report indicates that the prevalence of overweight children is increasing. The report also contends that obesity is associated with psychological and emotional dysfunction, with youngsters developing low self-esteem, often because of teasing from peers. The American Diabetes Association data (2002) indicate that 210,000 children under the age of 20 have diabetes. The majority of these children, one in 500, have type 2 diabetes, but other types are being increasingly identified. For example, idiopathic or non-immune-mediated type1 diabetes has been reported, particularly among African American (AA) children. High blood pressure, evidenced among AA children was another diet-related problem reported (Lynds, Seyler, & Morgan, 1980). Kaplowitz, Slora, Wasserman, Pedlow, Herman-Giddens (2001) investigation confirms that obesity, as measured by bone mass index (BMI), has increased over the years and that it is associated with another potential problem--the prevalence of early puberty in both Caucasian and AA girls. Therefore, due to the evidence of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and early sexual maturation among AA girls, an investigation of the food intake among African American girls is essential. This information will bridge an important gap in the literature on nutrition, and help design interventions to prevent diet-related problems. Interventions will be designed based on the findings, which will enable the researchers to educate the AA population about the discrepancy between the current state of diets and what they should be. Such an awareness is expected to help achieve a part of the national objective of Healthy People 2010, that of reducing health disparities in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among AA children. Background and Significance Sebastian, Cleveland, Goldman, and Moshfegh (2004) recognized the importance of monitoring the nutrition of children due to increases in diet-related problems. The researchers reported that the food consumption trend among children has changed significantly over the past 25 years, with increases in consumption of non-citrus fruit juices, carbonated beverages, savory snacks, pizza, and candy. This poor dietary quality is exacerbated by the consumption of fast foods. …" @default.
