    Abstract Background: Pediatric obstructive sleep related breathing disorders (SRBD) are an important under-diagnosed health problem with associated cardiometabolic comorbidities, demonstrated with polysomnographic studies in selected samples. Our main goal was to assess the prevalence of SRBD in a population-based cohort and to analyze its association with cardiometabolic risk factors, in general and by sex.
    Methods: Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) was applied to parents of 7-years-old children evaluated in the birth cohort, Generation XXI. Sex, anthropometrics, blood pressure (BP), lipid profile, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were compared among children with/without SRBD, using Chi-square, Mann-Whitney tests and logistic regression models.
    Results: A total of 1931 children (51.2 % boys) were included; 17.5 % were overweight and 15.7 % obese. The prevalence of SRBD was 13.4 %, more frequent among boys (15.7 % vs.10.9 %, p = 0.002) and in overweight/obese children (22.0 % vs.13.6 % vs.11.3 % in obese, overweight and normal weight group, respectively, p < 0.001). Children with SRBD had higher systolic BP (107 ± 8 vs.105±9 mmHg; p = 0.001) and lower HDL-cholesterol levels (54 ± 11 vs.56 ± 11 mg/dL; p = 0.04) than children without SRBD. After adjustment for sex, age, birthweight-for-gestational age and maternal age, children with SRBD had higher BMI-z-score, systolic BP, insulin and HOMA-IR levels, and lower HDL-cholesterol, when compared to those without SRBD, but these associations were lost when adjusting to BMI z-score. Analyzing obese children with the same regression model, those with SRBD presented lower HDL-cholesterol than those without SRBD.
    Conclusions: Our results identified a male predominance of SRBD in pre-pubertal children and highlighted the potential contribution of SRBD to cardiovascular risk in obese children.

    Abstract Children’s food insecurity has been associated with adverse health outcomes. In Portugal, data on children’s reports of food insecurity, as well as its determinants, are scarce. This study assessed the prevalence and determinants of children’s food insecurity in a population-based sample of Portuguese children. A cross-sectional study based on 2895 children from the Generation XXI birth cohort was performed. Data on food security status and socio-demographic characteristics were collected. Food security status was assessed through the Self-Administered Food Security Survey Module for Children Ages 12 Years and Older. Associations between children’s food insecurity and socio-demographic characteristics were explored using logistic regression models. The food insecurity prevalence was 9.5%. Boys (OR = 1.98; 95%CI = 1.51–2.59), children with low educated mothers (OR = 2.28; 95%CI = 1.62–3.20), fathers in low occupational positions (OR = 1.70; 95%CI = 1.19–2.43), from families with low income (OR = 1.53; 95%CI = 1.05–2.24) and children belonging to families with the perception of having an insufficient household income (OR = 2.54; 95%CI = 1.45–4.45) were more prone to food insecurity. Belonging to a stepfamily (OR = 1.82; 95%CI = 1.04–3.19), single-parent family (OR = 2.26; 95%CI = 1.56–3.28) or extended family (OR = 1.82; 95%CI = 1.28–2.59), and having caregivers unemployed (OR = 1.72; 95%CI = 1.30–2.28) were associated with children’s food insecurity. Household size (OR = 1.24; 95%CI = 1.06–1.45) also showed to be positively associated with food insecurity. Around one in every ten children were shown to be food insecure. Male children, with low educated mothers and fathers in low occupational positions, caregivers’ unemployment, belonging to stepfamilies, single-parent families or extended families, and families with a low and perception of insufficient household income may be those who would beneficiate the most from Public Health interventions to promote food security.

    Abstract Objectives: Premature adrenarche is often linked to a cluster of endocrine-metabolic risk factors. Our objective was to explore the association of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) levels at age 7 with cardio-metabolic traits at ages 10 and 13, independently of adiposity and pubertal stage.
    Methods: Longitudinal study of 603 individuals (301 girls/302 boys) from the Generation XXI birth cohort. DHEAS at age 7 was measured by immunoassay. Anthropometrics, pubertal staging, blood pressure, and metabolic outcomes were evaluated at ages 7, 10, and 13. Pearson correlations between DHEAS and cardio-metabolic traits (insulin, HOMA-IR, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure) were computed. Path analysis was used to estimate the effect of DHEAS at age 7 on cardiometabolic traits at ages 10 and 13, adjusted for body mass index (BMI) z-score and Tanner stage.
    Results: DHEAS at age 7 correlated positively with insulin and HOMA-IR at ages 7 and 10 in both sexes, and at age 13 in girls, but not in boys. In girls, DHEAS levels at age 7 directly influenced HOMA-IR at age 13, controlling for BMI and Tanner stage. In boys, DHEAS at age 7 did not influence HOMA-IR at ages 10 and 13. DHEAS at age 7 did not influence the other cardio-metabolic outcomes analyzed.
    Conclusions: DHEAS levels in mid-childhood have a positive longitudinal association with on insulin-resistance that persists, in girls, but not in boys, at least until age 13. No association was found regarding dyslipidemia, hypertension, or low-grade inflammation.
