Insecure Attachment Moderates the Association between Thin Internalization and Girls' Eating Concerns

Heart rate is a better predictor of cardiorespiratory fitness than heart rate variability in overweight/obese children :...
...
Cardiac autonomic function can be quantified through mean heart rate (HR) or heart rate variability (HRV). Numerous studies have supported the utility of different HRV parameters as indicators of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). However, HR has recently shown to be a stronger predictor of CRF than HRV in healthy young adults, yet these findings nee...
Insecure attachment moderates the association between thin internalization and girls’ eating concerns
Objective Although it has already been demonstrated that internalization of the thin ideal may play a role in the development of girls' concerns about eating, weight, and shape, research is needed to fully understand this vulnerability. The present study aims to investigate whether insecure attachment dimensions towards mother and father moderate t...
Unravelling the association between inhibitory control and loss of control over eating among adolescents.
Published in Appetite
Loss of control over eating is common among adolescents and is associated with negative developmental outcomes. Recent evidence points to impaired self-regulation, and more specifically poor inhibitory control, as a contributing factor to loss of control over eating among adults; however evidence in adolescent samples is limited. Moreover, in line ...
Children's stress-related reports and stress biomarkers interact in their association with metabolic syndrome risk
The purpose was to examine the cross-sectional associations of stress-related reports and stress biomarkers with metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in children while also testing the interaction between stress biomarkers and stress reports. In 353 children (5-10years old, 7.9% overweight/obese), MetS risk was measured by blood pressure, waist circumfer...
Fat tissue accretion in children and adolescents : interplay between food responsiveness, gender, and the home availabil...
The appetitive trait "food responsiveness" is assumed to be a risk factor for adiposity gain primarily in obesogenic environments. So far, the reported results are inconsistent in school-aged children, possibly because these studies did not take into account important moderators such as gender and the food-environment. In order to better inform car...
Hand-to-foot bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure fat mass in healthy children : a comparison with air-displaceme...
Aim: To identify children at risk of overweight, assessing children's body composition in a valid way is crucial. The present cross-sectional study examines the comparability of children's fat mass percentage obtained by hand-to-foot bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) versusBodPod air-displacement plethysmography as a reference method. Methods:...
Children's psychosocial stress and emotional eating : a role for leptin?
Insulin resistance is associated with smaller cortical bone size in nondiabetic men at the age of peak bone mass
Context: In type 2 diabetes mellitus, fracture risk is increased despite preserved areal bone mineral density. Although this apparent paradox may in part be explained by insulin resistance affecting bone structure and/or material properties, few studies have investigated the association between insulin resistance and bone geometry. Objective: We ai...
Loss of control eating in adolescents: Associations with adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies.
Published in Eating behaviors
To examine differences in the use of emotion regulation strategies in adolescents with and without loss of control over eating (LOC). A community-based sample of 524 adolescents from 12 to 18years old (70.6% girls; Mage=15.08; SD=1.59) reported on LOC and the use of several maladaptive and adaptive emotion regulation strategies. Adolescents who exp...
