This concluding chapter summarises key messages and reflects on what has been learned from running the Young Lives study. There are six key reflections from the Young Lives study. First is the value of talking to children themselves in both qualitative and survey research. Second is the value of multidisciplinary perspectives for public policy research. Third is the centrality of maintaining respectful and effective engagement with research participants. Fourth is the importance of long-term partnerships for effective research and policy engagement. Fifth is the usefulness of international comparison and the balance between this and national specificity. Finally, it is important to value the type of knowledge a study like Young Lives generates. Young Lives is a resource that can be used by future researchers to extend the boundaries of what is known about children, poverty, and human development.

This chapter outlines the Young Lives study design and conceptual framework. Child development is fundamentally shaped by the national, community, and family contexts in which children live, and by the relationships within which skills, beliefs, and wellbeing are fostered. As such, fully understanding children's development through the life course requires a broad framework that includes attention to the many structures and processes affecting caregivers, families, and households, as these in turn affect children. The bioecological model provides the core conceptual basis for the Young Lives study, identifying the many layers and influences on children's development, and encouraging an analysis of how those wider structural determinants shape poverty and inequalities facing children. Since the cascade approach helps explain how advantages and disadvantages accumulate, it provides a policy tool to assess the factors that make the greatest difference for which children and at which point in their lives.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine the association between consumption of snacks and sweetened beverages and risk of overweight among children.DesignSecondary analysis of the Young Lives cohort study in Peru.SettingTwenty sentinel sites from a total of 1818 districts available in Peru.SubjectsChildren in the younger cohort of the Young Lives study in Peru, specifically those included in the third (2009) and the fourth (2013) rounds.ResultsA total of 1813 children were evaluated at baseline; 49·2 % girls and mean age 8·0 (sd0·3) years. At baseline, 3·3 (95 % CI 2·5, 4·2) % reported daily sweetened beverage consumption, while this proportion was 3·9 (95 % CI 3·1, 4·9) % for snacks. Baseline prevalence of overweight was 22·0 (95 % CI 20·1, 23·9) %. Only 1414 children were followed for 4·0 (sd0·1) years, with an overweight incidence of 3·6 (95 % CI 3·1, 4·1) per 100 person-years. In multivariable analysis, children who consumed sweetened beverages and snacks daily had an average weight increase of 2·29 (95 % CI 0·62, 3·96) and 2·04 (95 % CI 0·48, 3·60) kg more, respectively, than those who never consumed these products, in approximately 4 years of follow-up. Moreover, there was evidence of an association between daily consumption of sweetened beverages and risk of overweight (relative risk=2·12; 95 % CI 1·05, 4·28).ConclusionsDaily consumption of sweetened beverages and snacks was associated with increased weight gainv. never consuming these products; and in the case of sweetened beverages, with higher risk of developing overweight.
