Questionnaire Surveys

Excessive daytime sleepiness is increasingly being recognized as a major global health concern. However, there have been few studies related to sleepiness and its associated factors in elementary school children. In Japan, all schools were closed from February to May 2020 to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks. The aim of this study was to identify changes in the subjective sleepiness of pupils during the 1.5-year period and to elucidate factors associated with changes in sleepiness. Questionnaire surveys about pupils’ sleep habits and the Japanese version of the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS-J) were conducted longitudinally at one elementary school in June 2019, January 2020, and June 2020. The average ∆PDSS score was 0.94 ± 5.51 (mean ± standard deviation) from June 2019 to January 2020 and −1.65 ± 5.71 (t[498] = 6.13, p < 0.01) from January 2020 to June 2020. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that decreasing social jetlag was associated with decreasing PDSS scores (OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.62–0.96, p = 0.02) during the school closure. A less restrictive school schedule secondary to a COVID-19-related school closure decreased sleepiness in children and was associated with decreasing social jetlag.

The Impact

The prevalence of obesity among children in the United States is a major health concern and is associated with increased health risks. The goal of this intervention was to develop and pilot test strategies based on mindful eating practices that foster healthy eating behaviors among elementary school children and their families. Mindful eating practice engages all of ones senses and has been shown to decrease impulsive food decisions and increase awareness of hunger and fullness cues. Using Experiential Learning Theory (ELT), class interventions and take-home activities were developed to teach mindful eating strategies to Hispanic and non-Hispanic 3rd through 5th grade elementary school children and their parents. The results of this research will: 1) contribute to the scientific literature regarding the impact of mindful eating practice on children’s eating behavior, 2) provide an alternate strategy for weight loss and management among children, and 3) provide parents and teachers with the knowledge and skills necessary to promote mindful eating among children and families.

This study explored the associations of lifestyle, familial, and social factors with sleep habits in 1882 elementary school children, aged 6–13 years, from the Super Shokuiku School Project in January 2016. A survey assessed sex, grade, sleep habits, lifestyle, social background, and parental lifestyle. Bedtime “≥22:00,” wake-up time “≥07:00,” sleep duration “<8 h,” and “daytime sleepiness” were defined as poor sleep habits; correlates were analyzed using logistic regression. Skipping breakfast was consistently significantly associated with poor sleep, especially among children with late wake-up times (adjusted odds ratio 5.45; 95% confidence interval 3.20–9.30). Excessive screen time was associated with late bed and wake-up times. Physical inactivity was significantly associated with daytime sleepiness. Children of mothers with poor lifestyle habits were likely to go to bed late and feel sleepy the next day. Social and family factors were associated with children’s sleep habits. Several behaviors, including skipping breakfast, excessive screen time, and physical inactivity, were associated with poor sleep habits, manifesting as a night-oriented lifestyle. Although a longitudinal study is needed to determine causality, in addition to sleep education for children, sleep education for parents and society at large may be necessary to improve children’s sleep habits.

The Relationship

ABSTRACT Obesity is a public health concern that its prevalence and intensity on children have been increasing with alarming status. Breastfeeding has been considered as one of protective factors that can prevent childhood obesity. The aim of this study is to discover the relationship between history of breastfeeding and obesity on elementary school children. This is an analytical study with cross sectional design. All children in first and second grade of Namira Islamic Elementary School and their mothers were included as population. Ninety samples were recruited randomly. Data on breastfeeding history were collected by using questionnaire guided interview from the mothers. The BMI-for-age curve CDC 2000 was used to determine obesity status of the children (≥ 95th percentile). Data were analyzed using chi-square test. This study found percentage of children with and without history of breastfeeding consecutively is 92.2% and 7.8%. Prevalence of children with obesity is 12.2% and without obesity is 87.8%. Eight of 83 children with history of breastfeeding (72.7%) were obese, and 3 of 7 children without history of breastfeeding (27.3%) were obese (PR=0.2; 95% CI=0.27-0.752;p<0.05). Based on the study, there is a relationship between history of breastfeeding and obesity in elementary school children. Keywords: Breastfeeding, Elementary School Children, Obesity   ABSTRAK Obesitas merupakan masalah kesehatan yang prevalensi dan intensitas kejadiannya pada anak terus meningkat serta telah mencapai status yang mengkhawatirkan. Pemberian ASI telah dipertimbangkan sebagai salah satu faktor yang dapat mencegah terjadinya obesitas pada anak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui adanya hubungan antara riwayat pemberian ASI dengan kejadian obesitas pada anak sekolah dasar. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui pendekatan analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Populasi penelitian ini adalah anak Sekolah Dasar Swasta Islam Namira yang berada di kelas satu dan dua dan Ibu nya. Jumlah sampel dalam peneltian ini adalah 90 orang yang dipilih secara acak. Data mengenai riwayat pemberian ASI didapatkan melalui wawancara dengan kuesioner dari Ibu. Kriteria obesitas pada anak ditentukan dengan menggunakan kurva indeks massa tubuh menurut usia dari CDC 2000 (persentil ≥95). Data yang didapat dianalisis dengan uji kai kuadrat. Pada penelitian ini ditemukan 92.2% anak mendapat ASI dan 7.8% anak tidak mendapat ASI saat bayi. Anak yang mengalami obesitas adalah 12.2% sedangkan anak yang tidak mengalami obesitas adalah 87.8%. Anak yang mendapat ASI dan mengalami obesitas adalah 72.7% sedangkan anak yang tidak diberi ASI dan mengalami obesitas adalah 27.3%. Berdasarkan hasil uji hipotesis didapatkan (RP=0.2; 95% CI=0.27-0.752: p<0.05). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara riwayat pemberian ASI dengan kejadian obesitas pada anak sekolah dasar. Kata Kunci: Anak Sekolah Dasar, ASI, Obesitas

Hearing Problems

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.
