Article Abstract
We evaluated whether there was an association between fathers' nutritional status and children's birth weight (BW) considering weight-matched mothers with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In total, 86 trios of women, infants, and fathers were evaluated. BW was not different between the groups of obese and non-obese parents, frequency of maternal obesity, or GDM. The percentage of infants who were large for gestational age (LGA) was 25% in the obese group and 14% in the non-obese group (p = 0.44). There was a borderline significance for higher body mass index (p = 0.09) of the father in the LGA group compared with the adequate for gestational age group. These results corroborate the hypothesis that the father's weight can also be relevant for the occurrence of LGA.

Although the effect of mindfulness on emotion regulation is known, the relationship between mindfulness and emotional eating has not been well-studied in adolescents to date. In this study, we investigated whether mindfulness has a direct effect on the level of emotional eating or whether this association is mediated by emotional dysregulation in a sample of adolescents with obesity. Our sample consisted of 80 adolescents with obesity.

Background: Childhood obesity is an increasing global health concern associated with both systemic and oral complications. While studies suggest links between body mass index (BMI) and oral health markers, these relationships remain poorly defined.
Purpose: This study evaluated the association between salivary microbial/fungal populations, salivary acidity, and obesity in children.

Guilt is an important correlate of the food choices parents make for their children. However, without a validated self-report measure of feeding-related guilt, researchers remain unable to reliably assess its consequences for parents and children. This study developed and validated the Parental Food Choice Guilt (PFCG) Scale.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is widely observed from childhood to adulthood and is treated with methylphenidate (MPH) as a first-line treatment. However, recent findings indicate that the paternal environment preceding conception may influence offspring health, potentially affecting subsequent generations. Moreover, we previously reported that MPH administration to sires reduced anxiety-related behaviors and induced memory impairments in the F1 generation.
