Ballast fürs Leben - Übergewicht und Adipositas bei Karlsruher Vorschulkindern
Abstract
Background Within the past few years the number of children and adolescents in Germany presenting with overweight and obesity has continually increased. A final review of the present situation is not possible, since the investigations in different regions of Germany vary greatly. The body weight data in different age categories of schoolchildren are mostly collected as a part of the school enrollment medical checkup. Goal The present situation of overweight and obesity in preschool children in Karlsruhe is reported in two prevalence studies. Method The data and facts on preschool children were collected within the enrollment medical checkup between the ages of three to seven years. Results Every 13 th child in Karlsruhe's kindergartens is overweight. Every 8 th child with the school enrollment medical checkup is overweight, and almost half of them are obese. The number of overweight children begins at about the age of five, it increases continuously and doubles within two years from 8 to 16 %. Every 5 (th) child of families of non-German origin is overweight. Discussion The number of overweight and obese children increases continually during preschool age. In the modern way of living, children with genetic predisposition hardly have a chance to keep their overweight in control through sports and healthy eating habits. Hence children of socioeconomically underprivileged families need more support and guidance to achieve a healthy life. The consequence of these alarming results…

“Correlative and randomized-controlled studies also show that experience of weight stigma is linked with lower levels of physical activity, higher exercise avoidance29–31, consumption of unhealthy diets, and increased sedentary behaviors1–3, as well as increased obesity and weight gain over time32, and increased risk of transitioning from overweight to obesity in both adults and adolescents33–35.”

“The prevailing view that obesity is a choice and that it can be entirely reversed by voluntary decisions to eat less and exercise more can exert negative influences on public health policies, access to treatments, and research1–3.”

In the citing paper
“Both observational and randomized-controlled studies show that these strategies can result in the opposite effect, and may instead induce exercise avoidance, consumption of unhealthy diets, and increased sedentary behaviors1–3, leading to poor metabolic health, increased weight gain56,57, and reduced quality of life57.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
