The body mass index of the parents and their children influences body mass index during adulthood and the probability of overweight and obesity. The aim of this survey was to obtain reliable data on weight and height for eight and twelve-year-olds in Oslo. School health nurses in Oslo took measurements of the children's weight and height. The survey includes 3453 eight-year-olds and 3597 twelve-year-olds. The prevalence of overweight among eight-to-twelve-year-olds is 21%. There is a significant difference in the prevalence of overweight children between the local districts of Oslo. One in four of eight-year-old and one in five of twelve-year old girls are overweight. There is no significant difference between boys in different age groups. The prevalence of overweight among eight to twelve-year-old children in Oslo is alarming. There are big differences between districts.

Psychological intervention is a treatment alternative and may prevent longer-term postpartum depression. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of supportive counseling by public health nurses on postpartum depression. Methods: The study was designed as an intervention study. The study population included postpartum women, residing in two municipalities in Norway, who had delivered between June 2005 and December 2006. A total of 228 women participated in the study: 64 in the comparison municipality and 164 in the experimental municipality. Public health nurses (26) in the experimental municipality were trained in identifying postpartum depression and in providing supportive counseling. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was administered 6 weeks postpartum (pre-test), and 3, 6 and 12 months post partum (post-test). The EPDS score at 3, 6 and...

A cross-sectional survey was performed among 440 13-15-year-olds in Eastern Norway. The survey questionnaire included measures of impulsivity, six types of maternal and paternal regulation (as perceived by the adolescents), and consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB). Parallel multiple-mediator analyses were performed to reveal potential mediating effects of perceived parental regulatory behaviors on the association between adolescent impulsivity and SSB consumption. Separate models were run for maternal and paternal regulation. Results from our model analyses (both maternal and paternal models) indicated that all the six measured parental regulatory behaviors jointly acted as mediators on the association between adolescent impulsivity and SSB consumption. However, only perceived maternal and paternal legitimacy of regulation showed a unique contribution to the mediated effect. This finding suggests that adolescents' perception of parental legitimate authority is of particular importance in explaining the relationship between impulsivity and unhealthy eating behaviors in adolescents. Future nutrition interventions targeting adolescents and their parents should take personal factors such as adolescents' level of impulsivity into account. Ultimately; what may be an appropriate approach to impulsive individuals and their parents may diverge from what may be an appropriate approach to less impulsive individuals and their parents.
