Term
when is preadolescence?
Definition
G 9-11
B 10-12
Term
what stage of life has the greatest growth?
Definition
preadolesence
cognitive, emotional, social
Term
what is the average growth for pre-adolesent children
Definition
7 lbs/year
Term
growth spurts
Definition
coincide with increased appetite and food intake
monitor with CDC growth chart
Term
BMI>95th percentile
Definition
overweight
Term
BMI = 85-95th percentile
Definition
at risk for being overweight
Term
early childhood
Definition
5-7 years old
body fat % will be the lowest
F 16%
M 13%
Term
adiposity rebound
Definition
BMI is at its lowest but then starts to increase
happens at around 6 yo
prep for major growth spurt in adolescence
*if it happens before the avg age of 4-6 yo then there is a greater chance for obesity later in life*
Term
middle childhood
Definition
6-10 years old
boys have more lean muscle mass than girls
Term
what cognitive development happens during preadolescence?
Definition
self efficacy
cause-effect
able to classify, reclassify, and generalize
decrease in egocentrism
independence
feeding skills (meal time chores, boost self esteem)
Term
eating behaviors during preadolescence
Definition
parents and siblings have the greatest influence
*Parents responsible for the environment and what foods are available; kids are responsible for how much they eat*
Term
body image and dieting during preadolescence
Definition
start as early as 5 years old
External factors = time of day, presence of other people, availability of good food
Control = more authorative mean less likely to listen to intuitive cues
Heavier – girls that are heavier are less likely able to regulate internal controls
Parental control – those who have troubles with their own intake impose more restrictions on their child
All of the above contribute to onset of obesity or eating disorders
Term
energy needs during preadolescence
Definition
reflect the slower rate of growth

Lower for school age kids than toddler and preschool
Dependent upon physical activity and body size
EER based on formula (different for each age group) gender, age, height, weight, physical activity
Term
what are the 4 levels of physical activity
Definition
sedentary
low active
active
very active
Term
protein needs for preadolesence
Definition
.95 g/kg day for 4-13 years; adjust due to activity and muscle mass
Term
preadolesence - vitamins and minerals
Definition
usually met or exceeding

some not met: calcium, iron, zinc
Term
iron deficiency w/ preadolesence
Definition
not as common in middle childhood as with toddlers due to growth rate not being as fast
different needs for different ages
Term
dental caries w/ preadsolesence
Definition
1 in 2 children have decay in primary teeth; can affect permanent teeth as well
Reduce sticky carb exposure to teeth by brushing teeth; complex carbs better than simple
Regular meal and snack times give better opportuinity to brush teeth
Alter texture of food as baby teeth fall out
Term
obesity w/ preadolesence
Definition
starts around 5-10 yo
2/3 kids are overweight or obese
Physical activity decrease the contributing factor; parents are working, unsafe neighborhoods

Conditions – heart failure, cardiac disease, hypertension, diabetes
Increase bone age = 6 yo has bone age of 15 yo
Higher levels of liver enzymes
85% of kids with type 2 either overweight or obese
Higher risk of type 2 with all other ethnicities

enough calcium and vit D through the diet no supplements are needed!
watch and maintain Ca levels
increased protein and sodium and caffeine = increased Ca excretion
Term
