Single-parenthood and health conditions among children receiving public assistance in Japan: a cohort study
Daisuke Nishioka, Junko Saito, Keiko Ueno & Naoki Kondo
doi : 10.1186/s12887-021-02682-4
BMC Pediatrics volume 21, Article number: 214 (2021)
Children’s healthy development is important. While governmental public assistance benefits financially troubled families, it cannot compensate for a lack of social support. Single-parenthood is a health risk factor for children owing to low-income-associated food insecurity and stress. No study has investigated the association between single-parenthood and health status in children from families receiving public assistance. This study aimed to examine the association between single-parent households and children’s health among public assistance recipients in Japan by using linkage data of two municipal public assistance databases and administrative medical assistance data.
Sociodemographic characteristics are associated with prevalence of high-risk waist circumference and high-risk waist-to-height ratio in U.S. adolescents

BMC Pediatrics volume 21, Article number: 215 (2021)
Adiposity status in adolescence is associated with various health outcomes in adulthood. Waist circumference [WC] and waist-to-height ratio [WHtR] are measures of abdominal obesity and have shown to be valid predictors of future chronic diseases. However, the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and WC, as well as WHtR in U.S. adolescents remain unclear. Thus, the study aims to examine associations between sociodemographic characteristics and abdominal obesity among a nationally representative sample of U.S. adolescents.

doi : 10.1186/s12887-021-02690-4
BMC Pediatrics volume 21, Article number: 226 (2021)
Immunization is essential to prevent between 2 and 3 million deaths globally each year and it is widely accepted that it is one of the most cost-effective health interventions. Despite all its advantages, immunization in Ethiopia is still far from the target set by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to achieve universal immunization by all countries in 2030. The 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) reported an overall full immunization rate of only 38.3%. The objective of this study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of under immunization in 12 to 23?months old children and further identify the determinants of under immunization clustering in the Butajira Health and Demographic Surveillance Site (HDSS).

doi : 10.1186/s12887-021-02697-x
BMC Pediatrics volume 21, Article number: 246 (2021)
Childhood obesity represents a global public health crisis: the number of obese children and adolescents (aged 5–19?years) worldwide has risen tenfold in the past four decades. The vast majority of overweight and obese children live in high-income countries, and low socio-economic status (SES) is a significant risk factor. Family Based Interventions (FBI) have demonstrated positive results in preventing obesity, although these results are strongly influenced by SES. Moreover, we still poorly understand how FBI can determine a positive trend in weight status in low-income communities. Therefore, there is an urgent need to define and evaluate innovative and multi-target projects to reduce obesity risk behaviors and health inequalities and the present study aims to present the study protocol of FIVALIN a FBI that pretends to achieve this goal.

doi : 10.1186/s12887-021-02716-x
BMC Pediatrics volume 21, Article number: 248 (2021)
Rickets is not an unusual diagnosis for pediatricians even currently in developed countries. Children typically present with leg bowing, enlargement of wrists, rachitic rosary (swelling of costochondral junctions) and/or waddling gait. But not every child with growth delay and enlarged metaphyses is diagnosed with rickets. Metaphyseal anadysplasia (MAD) is a disorder of variable severity with metaphyseal flaring and irregularities, without vertebral abnormalities. MAD is characterized by an early onset and a regressive course in late childhood without treatment, despite persistent short stature. Autosomal dominant or recessive variants in the matrix metalloproteinase 13 gene (MMP13) are responsible for these transient metaphyseal changes.
