abstract = {BACKGROUND: There are no Colombian studies published that assess non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) risk factors in children. OBJECTIVE: To determine the factors associated with NSLBP in 73 children (19.2% girls) aged 10\textendash12 years in one military school in Bucaramanga, Colombia. METHODS: A questionnaire was used to obtain information of risk factors. Subsequently, children’s weight and height were measured. The backpack was weighed at the beginning of each day from Monday to Friday. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were calculated, with their respective 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: The one-month prevalence of NSLBP was 39.7% (95% CI 28.4\textendash51.9). In the multivariate analysis, carrying backpacks wearing between 12% and 20% of body weight, having a perception that the backpack is very heavy, and being a passive smoker increase the likelihood of NSLBP, while being 11-year-old compared to 10-year-old decreases the likelihood of having NSLBP, adjusted for gender, body mass index, and history of LBP in parents. CONCLUSIONS: High prevalence of low back pain was found in children between 10 and 12 years old. The study of the decisive factors of low back pain is important to identify children at risk, as well as to develop efficient primary prevention programs.},

The objective of this study was to determine the association between socioeconomic factors and z score height for age (HAZ) in preschool of the Colombo-German Foundation of Floridablanca, Colombia. A cross-sectional study was conducted. A random sample of 112 (2 to 5 years old) preschool of an institution for the low-income population was measured and weighed; their parents/caregivers answered a survey. The mean HAZ in preschool who live in households with more than one child (a) under 7 was lower compared with households with a child (a) under 7 years. Children living in housing with tenure called "possession untitled" scored lower mean HAZ compared with homeownership. Children living in households where the mother was the one who brings home were more HAZ compared with homes where the contributor was the father; this association remained in boys. In girls, none of the variables of the final model was found associated with HAZ. It is important to strengthen programs aimed at improving the socio-economic conditions of the mothers who are household heads.},

The multiple generalized linear models showed in the whole sample that BMIZ significantly decreased with household's socioeconomic strata 1 and 2 compared with strata zero, and in high-income families. In girls, BMIZ significantly increased when another family member, neighbour, or friend was responsible for deciding about feeding on weekdays. In boys, BMIZ increased when they ate alone and when their grandmother was responsible for preparing food on weekdays. It is conceded that socioeconomic factors influencing BMIZ are similar to those that influence health inequity},

abstract = {Objectives:  to determine the level of  RPF  and to explore the association among aerobic fitness,  flexibility and muscle strength with overweight and obesity in schoolchildren 8-12 years. 



Methods: a cross-sectional study was performed; we selected for convenience the fourth and fifth degrees from the “Instituto Tecnologico Salesiano Eloy Valenzuela”. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was determined according to the WHO-CDC and the FITNESS-GRAM. The HRPF was assessed using the FITNESSGRAM battery. Simple and multiple Poisson regression models were applied to calculate prevalence ratios (PR) and their confidence intervals of 95% (CI 95%). 



Results:  a  total of  66  students  (10.4  ±  0.82  years),  19.6%  women,  and  48.5%  of the fourth grade,  were included.  78.8%  and  39.4%  were below the healthy fitness zone in the trunk extension strength and the aerobic fitness qualities, respectively. The prevalence of overweight and obesity according to WHO-CDC criteria was 30.3%. The physical qualities associated with overweight and obesity were aerobic fitness (PR 2.32 CI 95% 1.08 to 4.96) and muscle strength of upper limbs (PR CI 95% 1.28 to 9.69 3.53). 



Conclusions: the percentage of children below the healthy area was higher in the muscular strength and aerobic fitness physical qualities. Which were associated with overweight and obesity. This is especially relevant given that adequate aerobic fitness in childhood has been linked to a healthier cardio-metabolic profile.},

abstract = {Objective: To identify the factors determining the underestimation of the actual weight of the children by the father and mother of preschooler users of Children's homes (CH) of the Colombian Family Welfare Institute located in the municipality of Floridablanca, Colombia. 

Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done in a random sample of 186 preschool children aged 3-6 years from 7 Floridablanca's CH. Researchers interviewed parents and measured the weight and height of children, parents, and caregivers. The analysis was conducted by way of single and multiple binomial regression models. 

Results: Underestimating the weight of the children was 44.6%, 46.3%, 45% and 44.2% for the mother, father, grandparents and uncles, respectively. The underestimation was associated with the child' sex (mother: 1.59 95% CI 1.11-2.29 RP; father: PR2.00 95% CI 1.1-3.6), education (PR 1.42 95 1.05-1.92%), occupation (PR 1.05 95% CI 1.05-1.05) and obesity's history in the mother (PR 1.51 95% CI 1.10-2.08) and the current weight of the father (PR 2.31 95% CI 1.1 to 5.0). 

Conclusions: A high proportion of families of children do not perceive overweight and obesity. Issues such as the child's sex, occupation and education of the mother and obesity in both parents must be considered when we will educate parents on the recognition of obesity as a public health problem.},

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study with a sample of 60 participants selected for convenience. The level of gross motor function was assessed using the classification system of the gross motor function (GMFCS). The analysis calculated absolute and relative frequencies. 



Results: The largest age group was between 6 and 12 years 61.6%, 50% were female and the majority belonged to the socioeconomic stratum 2 (43.3%), representing the lower class stratification as in Colombia; 56, 7% of children lived with both parents, found that 55% of households had \>1 y \<2 Current legal minimum monthly wage and the health system was the most common tax (65%). According to the classification with GMFCS, we found that 38.3% of children were at level V, 25.0% in Level I, Level IV 16.7%, 13.3% in level III and level II 6.7%. Body structures most affected were the central nervous system with 78.3%, followed by deficiencies in the structures for movement (upper and lower limbs) with 20.0%. 



Conclusions: It is found that the severity of gross motor function is directly related to functional abilities, the need for elements of support and caregiver.},

Objective: To establish the facial validity of the instruments Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H) for disabled children between 5 and13 years old. Materials and methods: a study was carried out on the assessment of diagnostic tests, as well as the cultural adaptation of the instruments using 6 mothers of children without disabilities (CD) as a reference. At the same time, the validity was assessed by 19 mothers of boys and girls in CD who were assessed through an interview done by two last-year physiotherapy students. Results: The LIFE-H for age 5-13 years old, in order to assess social participation were officially translated, adapted to local language with comprehensible, clear, and easy to answer questions. We obtained an instrument with facial validity and relevant cultural adaptability to the context. We found confusing words or questions in education and nutrition categories in the LIFE-H for 5-13 years old that were modified. Conclusion: We obtained a useful tool to measure social participation from the habits of children with disabilities, which provides a sound basis for improving interventions in rehabilitation. It is suggested to continue evaluating the reliability of this instrument.},

Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on eighty 5 to 13 years-old children (9±2.7 years) with disabilities, who lived in the metropolitan area of Bucaramanga and were conveniently selected. The life-habit scale assessment was used. Spearman's correlation coefficient was estimated (p).



Results: the global scoring of social participation was 6±2.3 and the satisfaction of the parents with their children's social participation was 3.6±0.7. The habit with the highest correlation coefficient was communication (p= 0.83) and that with the lowest coefficient was personal relationships (p= 0.44). In the global scoring, a very good correlation was found between the social participation and the satisfaction of the parents with this participation (p= 0.82).



Conclusions: at the time of putting forward objectives and treatments, both the social participation and the satisfaction of parents with it should be taken into consideration jointly rather than separately.
