Emotion management and approaches to discipline for young children and parents alike, with pediatrician Dr. Arthur Lavin and child development specialist Susan Glaser, M.A.

Na Nacionalnem inštitutu za javno zdravje so pri mladostnikih med 11 in 17 let izvedli raziskavo Z zdravjem povezana vedenja v šolskem obdobju. Izsledki niso vzpodbudni, občutke osamljenosti je izkusil vsak šesti mladostnik, več kot tretjina jih redno doživlja vsaj dva psihosomatska simptoma, skoraj sedem odstotkov ima znake anksioznosti, nekaj več kot petina pa povišano verjetnost depresije. Mladostniki zaznavajo slabšo podporo prijateljev, staršev in učiteljev, bolj so obremenjeni. Gostji: Helena Jeriček Klanšček, vodja raziskave Z zdravjem povezana vedenja v šolskem obdobju; Monika Erjavec Bizjak, magistrica zakonskih in družinskih študij ter vodjo programa Dobro sem. Zapiski: raziskava Z zdravjem povezavno vedenje v šolskem obdobju; raziskava Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children. 

Health Behaviour in School-aged Children is a study carried out in collaboration with the World Health Organization in 51 countries. Its aim is to monitor the health of schoolchildren in their social context. More in the first part of today's session.

Lifting our children up on today

Many-time guest Dr. Andy Bondy returns to the podcast for a fun chat. Our conversation centered around a recent talk he gave which was titled, "Verbal Behavior: Myths and Misconceptions." What myths and misconceptions are we talking about here? Well, I certainly don't want to spoil the podcast, but we did manage to cover a wide variety of topics, including: PECS' Certified Classroom process. The conceptual rather than data-based nature of the Verbal Behavior book itself. Recall versus recognition. Aided versus unaided communication systems. Selection versus topography-based communication systems. The more subtle aspects of the autoclitic. Whether PECS limits improvised communication. The topic of Matching-to-sample vs. Tacting in PECS. The nature of prompts. Constructional aspects of learning. As many of my chats with Andy have gone, this is a podcast that could've been twice as long. Good news though: we've already scheduled a follow up interview for later on in the summer. If you have questions based on this podcast, perhaps we can feature an "Ask Andy Anything," segment. Keep an eye on the BOP emails for future announcements. Andy grounded his points in many empirical studies (and of course the OG text, Verbal Behavior). I've done my best to capture all of them below: Kuhn's, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Potter and Brown (1997).

Guest: Martha Horrocks, MEd, CCC-SLP - This episode features Martha Horrocks discussing three things all school-based SLPs should know about children who stutter. She will also share two resources to help us deepen our practice and provide us with one actionable strategy for tomorrow.

Predictions state the population of school-aged children will drop during the decade. Education Ministry projections state rolls at primary and secondary schools would fall 4 percent or nearly 30,000 nationwide. Wellington and Auckland schools will be hit hardest from the losses, and Canterbury will be the only region expected to have more school children by 2032.  Massey University sociologist Paul Spoonley says the fertility rate in New Zealand has dipped below replacement level in the last five years. Paul Spoonley says the only way New Zealand can top up their declining population is through immigration. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.10.527990v1?rss=1 Authors: Turoman, N., Fiave, P. A., Zahnd, C., deBettencourt, M. T., Vergauwe, E. Abstract: Developmental improvements in working memory (WM) maintenance predict many real-world outcomes, including educational attainment. It is thus critical to understand which WM mechanisms support these observed behavioral improvements, and how WM maintenance strategies might change through development. One challenge is that specific WM neural mechanisms cannot easily be measured behaviorally, especially in a child population. However, new multivariate decoding techniques have been designed, primarily in adult populations, that can sensitively decode the contents of working memory. The goal of this study was to deploy multivariate decoding techniques to decode the contents of WM in children. We created a simple computerized WM game for children, in which children maintained different categories of information (visual, spatial or verbal). We collected electroencephalography (EEG) data from 20 children (7-12-year-olds) while they played the game. Using Multivariate Pattern Analysis (MVPA) on children's EEG signals, we reliably decoded the category of the maintained information during the sensory and maintenance period. In a set of exploratory reliability and validity analyses, we examined the robustness of these results when trained on less data, and how these patterns generalized within individuals throughout the testing session. Furthermore, these results matched theory-based predictions of WM across individuals and across ages. As the first study of its kind, our proof-of-concept provides a direct and age-appropriate potential alternative to exclusively behavioral WM maintenance measures in children. Our study demonstrates the utility of MVPA to directly measure and track the spontaneously-generated representational content of children's WM. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Nearly 45 percent of American school-aged children suffer from chronic health issues, according to a 2018 National Survey of Children's Health. That's over 27 million children. Parents are often stuck trying to figure out what went wrong. Some doctors say chronic diseases are too hard to treat, while others are happy to give medication to mask the symptoms. And then there are doctors who completely embrace the challenge and somehow turn the patient's health around. More and more, we're finding that this third group of doctors are not limiting themselves to system medicine. Instead, they are reaching for wisdom from other medical modalities that have been used successfully for thousands of years. In this episode, integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh shares his insights on chronic disease and what parents can do to help their children. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Episode 29 [Revisited]: Self-Regulation With Dr. Clancy Blair  We are thrilled to be re-releasing our episode with Dr. Clancy Blair as part of our six week series before our new launch on January 3rd. Dr. Blair is a developmental psychologist, who studies self-regulation in young children. His primary interest concerns the development of cognitive abilities, referred to as executive functions, and the ways in which these aspects of cognition are important for school readiness and early school achievement. He is also interested in the development and evaluation of preschool and elementary school curricula designed to promote executive functions as a means of preventing school failure. Prior to coming to NYU, Blair spent ten years as an Assistant and then Associate Professor in the department of Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State.  Dr. Blair spoke with us regarding self-regulation, and the different stages that can be expected in children as they age from infants to adolescents. We will also explored the ways in which the environment can impact self-regulation, and how parents can utilize different strategies for trying to best promote positive self-regulation. If you would like to learn more about the work of Dr. Blair, you can visit his Google Scholar page at https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=duCRaqgAAAAJ&hl=en

Social media is a major part of many people's day to day lives, including children. Social media can connect young people to other people, groups, imagery, and ideas in a way that was never imaginable two decades ago. This can be exciting but also potentially harmful to vulnerable youth with developing minds. In October of 2021, a former facebook data scientist testified to congress that their internal research showed potential harms the social media platform can inflict on youth mental health, including increasing depression, suicidal thoughts and encouraging eating disorders, especially among girls. However, there are certainly potential benefits to social media for many young people, including encouraging engagement with family and friends more easily. In this episode of Epidemiology Counts, hosts Ghassan Hamra and Bryan James discuss the impact of social media on youth mental health with Kira Riehm, postdoctoral fellow at the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health.

UNESCO DONATES TO EDUCATION: A UNESCO donation of some $18,000 to the gender and education divisions of government last week marked the official start of a project, which seeks to explore gender disparities in education in Saint Lucia and make policy recommendations to close any existing gaps. The project is known as the Gender Dynamics in Academic Attainment of School-Aged Children in Saint Lucia Before and During COVID -19 and has as its main objectives to compare the academic performance of male primary school children with that of their female counterparts and to explore the extent to which there are gender disparities in the instruction, assessment and discipline of primary and secondary school students in saint Lucia. The project, according to Secretary General of the national Commission for UNESCO Marcia Symphorien, compares gender differences in performance of school aged children in face-to-face and remote instructional/learning settings and provide policy and future research recommendations to close any gender gap in educational attainment on the island. Minister with responsibility for Gender Relations Hon. Virginia Albert-Poyotte, who was an educator by profession, says gender inequality remains one of the greatest threats to sustainable development. She highlighted male underachievement as a very disturbing concept requiring well-grounded research that is open and asks the right questions, while at the same time noting the plight of women facing increasing rates of unemployment during the covid pandemic. The expected target groups include primary school boys and girls from grades four and six, primary school teachers and principals in four educational districts and top 2019 Common Entrance Examination results placings in selected Districts. Permanent Secretary in the Department of Education, Innovation and Vocational Training Michelle Charles says no child should be left behind, and that the policies and programmes that administers education in Saint Lucia must reflect that in ensuring there is equal opportunity and nurturing for both male and female. The project is one of four programmes granted funding this current biennium under the UNESCO participation programme. The project will run October 2021 to February, 2022.

HEIGHT & BMI TRAJECTORIES OF SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN & ADOLESCENTS In this 11-minute podcast, Andrea Rodriguez-Martinez, PhD, discusses a study she and her team of researchers published in The Lancet, called “Height & Body-Mass Index Trajectories of School-Aged Children & Adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 Countries & Territories: A Pooled Analysis of 2,181 Population-Based Studies with 65 Million Participants.”  Visit anhi.org for a transcript of this episode.

En el episodio de hoy contamos con Marta García Rodríguez-Maimón para hablar de descansos activos, de su importancia, su utilidad y nos proporciona muchos ejemplos para que implementar estos descansos en nuestras clases sea lo más fácil posible.Ya hemos hablado en muchos episodios la importancia de incrementar los minutos de movimiento de nuestros alumnos, de cómo estamos muy por debajo de las recomendaciones que realiza la OMS. Solo porque esto sería positivo el implementar durante las mañanas de nuestros alumnos pequeños descansos activos centrados en el movimiento, con un tiempo aproximado de 10 minutos.Pero tenemos la suerte de que existen muchas más razones para ponerlos en marcha, conseguimos beneficios de salud, de concentración y de rendimiento escolar. Por lo tanto es obvio que la inversión de tiempo que suponen estos descansos es muy pequeña teniendo en cuenta los beneficios probados que conllevan.EnlacesTwitter marta García https://twitter.com/martagr_mPDF ejerciciosPDF “Piruletas”Libro Irene Pellicer: NeuroEF: La REVOLUCIÓN de la Educación Física desde la NEUROCIENCIA https://amzn.to/3sIAu4nLibro Francisco Mora: Neuroeducación: Solo se puede aprender aquello que se ama https://amzn.to/31BLHYHEpisodio David Cañada: #8 David Cañada.

The United States has a population problem. Lots of us didn't know that we are below the 2.1 babies per family that we need to maintain our population. So what do we do? Have more babies or bring in immigrants? Senator Mitt Romney wants to give families money to help them with their children so at least money is not the reason families are not having children. KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson puts this question to her guests this week on A Woman's View. Her guests this week include Pamela Atkinson, community advocate and senior advisor to Governor Spencer Cox, former legislator Patrice Arent, and Dr. Lisa Stout, urologist with the Summit Urology Group.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How can we simplify the complex topic of child development to support earlier identification of children who need specialist support? Susan Pagel and her colleagues tackled this question in creating the Red Flags Guide. A tool to help parents and practitioners have conversations about children's development, the Guide provides a simple framework for identifying concerns that might need referral to a developmental service.   There are two versions of the Guide; one for children aged 0-5 years (the Red Flags Early Identification Guide), and one for school-aged children six years and older (the Red Flags School-aged Guide). This conversation with Susan focuses on the more recent development of the school-aged guide.   Susan Pagel leads a team of integrated multidisciplinary child development service staff within Brisbane metropolitan area. She is the creator of the Red Flags School-aged Guide and co-chair of the Child Development Sub-Network. Susan graduated from a Bachelor of Speech Pathology over 20 years ago and has worked in paediatrics in rural and remote Queensland, the United Kingdom, and Brisbane.    Susan found working in the child development service at Queensland Children's Hospital highlighted the difficulties in identifying developmental challenges in school-aged children (6-17 years), especially when there are co-morbid mental health and medical complexities. The need for a school-aged version of the Red Flags Guide became apparent, leading to a collaborative project to create a resource for health professionals to support identification of school-aged children with developmental challenges.   In this episode you will learn:  the history behind developing the Red Flags School-aged Guide [05:00] the challenge of identifying developmental concerns in older children [10:24] how to differentiate between developmental and mental health concerns [12:50] why it's important to be aware of certain transition periods where children can present with more challenges [16:38] Further information and resources:  The Red Flags Early Identification Guide is available here: https://www.childrens.health.qld.gov.au/wp-content/uploads/PDF/red-flags.pdf  The Red Flags School-aged Guide is available here: https://www.childrens.health.qld.gov.au/wp-content/uploads/PDF/red-flags-school-aged-blank-contact-details.pdf  The Pink Book is available here: https://www.childrens.health.qld.gov.au/wp-content/uploads/PDF/pink-book.pdf

Identifying developmental concerns in children can be challenging for practitioners, especially after the early years. Work by speech pathologist, Susan Pagel has led to the Red Flags Guide: a guide to support practitioners and parents to discuss children’s development and more easily identify where they might need specialist support.

Eileen Berger discusses remote learning with elementary school aged children and gives helpful tips about how parents can support their children with resources on the web and by collaborating with teachers.

This episode is Secret # 2.This is what it is called:"A growth mindset, not a fixed mindset, is the only thinking pattern you can have if you are to make progress towards being physically healthy."Carol Dweck is a Professor of Psychology at Lewis and Virginia Eaton, Stanford University (2004 - Present), which is just outside of San Francisco, USA. She is leading the field of research on how to achieve a growth mindset. We need this strategy now more than ever with all school-aged children across the world. It is the reason I call it HEALTH SECRET # 2. We must have this as a focal point; our children are going down a path where they are most are predestined to end up inside what I call THE DISEASE FUNNEL. Here are Professor Dweck's main ideas in three sentences.1. Skills can be cultivated through effort. 2. People with a growth mindset thrive on challenges. 3. The fixed mindset: “I can’t do it.” The growth mindset: “I can’t do it yet.”Here are five big ideas from Professor Dweck's work. 1. The view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life.2. “Believing that your qualities are carved in stone—the fixed mindset—creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over.”3. “People in a growth mindset don’t just seek challenges; they thrive on it.4. “The growth mindset does allow people to love what they’re doing—and to continue to love it in the face of difficulties.”5. “Those with the growth mindset found success in doing their best, in learning and improving."Get access to the ebook/audiobook version of my brand new book; MY CHILD'S HEALTHY LIFE: The Expert secrets Roadmap for $4.95 each.

It is March 2020 and either schools are closed in your country due to the virus or it they are still open and there is a new way phrase teachers are talking to students about....."SOCIAL DISTANCING". The question is this: How do we get students using less mobile tech and loving physical activity to the point where they raise what I call their "PERSONAL PHYSICAL HEALTH STATUS". (Another new FRAMEWORK for our school aged children and PE Teachers).In this episode I discuss how the world has changed since I left high school way back in 1984. Think about the year you left high school, what technology did not exist then that does now? For me virtually all 'personal technology' had NOT been invented. Heck the personal computer was only invented in 1984 and Mark Zuckerberg was born on May 14th of that year!!! I am fairly certain he did not start thinking of Facebook in that year! The second half of this episode is a FREE 15 minute snapshot of the soon to be released AudioBook and eBOOK called "THE DOPAMINE FRAMEWORK...how to get school aged children using less tech and loving physical health."In this 15 minute section you will hear from the person who invented the 'LIKE BUTTON' on facebook and the first President of Facebook. Additionally I share a section from someone who has been instrumental in building apps that try to force the release of Dopamine (A neurotransmitter) from school aged kids brains when they interact with the app on a mobile device. Find out in this 15 minutes:# What is Dopamine and its relationship to 'Pleasure'?# How does a Dopamine burst cause you to go back to your mobile for over 3 hours per day? # How much do school aged kids actually use their devices per day?# What is the real and true impact on physical activity levels as a result?# What is this other neurotransmitter called 'Serotonin' and its relationship to happiness?# What is the difference between pleasure and happiness?# What can you do to get your school aged kids to fall in love with happiness?Phew! All of this in the second half of the episode and just 15 minutes.As we like to say in Australia - GO AND GET STUCK INTO MATE! (Insert Aussie accent here)

Have you ever heard the phrase 'HEALTH DESTINY?' Just the name gives you instant identity on what we are talking about. The second part of the question is so much more important. 'What conversation is your school (or group of parents you assoicate with) having about protecting the HEALTH DESTINY of our school aged children?' Is there a dedicated pathway (that does not interupt the current teaching syllabus in your school) that PE Teachers and parents can use to raise the personal physical health status of children? I have found so few that can provide real feedback with evidence based data. Stories and programs which say they are improving our kids physical activity are NOT evidence. There is a way to get hardcore data automatically and be 100% certain you are on track. If you are willing then this is the question that parents and PE Teachers need to ask:“If I was to ask you how do you make sure you are physically healthy between now and your late adult years using physical activity and excluding food choices - where you try to avoid all the major lifestyle diseases like obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, end stage organ failure, type 2 diabetes - can you tell me the exact steps you would put in place to DRAMATICALLY LOWER YOUR RISK?”Join me in the second half of this this episode as we listen to this weeks EXPERT: DR BARRY A FRNAKLIN. A medical researcher at Wayne State University in Detrorit Michigan, USA and also a practicing Cardiologist.

This episode is my love letter to parents of school-aged kids, as a former School Counselor. It's what I wished every parent I've ever worked with knew, and its a reminder of the immense power you have as the most important person in your child's life. I offer advice and strategies on creating routines, how to interact with your child's school, a step-by-step process for helping your child work through a social struggle, and how I feel about the sheer amount of testing our kids experience. Plus, at the end I arm you with a 6 minute meditation for your children, full of affirmations they repeat after me (out loud or in their mind) to validate what incredible, unique, amazing beings they truly are.

Today's podcast hits on an important topic that comes up regularly in the media. We hear lots of news reports about people going on a gluten-free diet when they don't need to be medically. We most often think about this as happening in adults, but a study led by a team of researchers at the Mayo Clinic now reports this is happening amongst school age children as well.  To share more with our listeners about this controversial topic, I have Dr. Imad Absah in the studio with me. Dr. Absah is a pediatric gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic and a leader of the Gluten-Free Diet in School Aged Children in Olmsted County, Minnesota study that was published in the Avicenna Journal of Medicine.   Thank you to the Walter and Jean Boek Global Autoimmune Institute for their ongoing support to make this podcast possible. 

“The rich vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in fresh fruits and veggies are the building blocks of a healthy childhood diet.” - Dr. Rachael Bilello (5:48 - 6:01)Lori TaylorThe Produce Moms Childhood obesity is a growing issue in the United States.   According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), almost 90% of children in America are getting less than the recommended five servings of fresh of fruits and vegetables per day. Moreover, around half of all food consumed by children is processed, unhealthy snack food.   Fresh fruits and vegetables are the foundations of a healthy diet at any age, but are an integral component for children. They provide multiple vitamins and minerals that are essential for their development and are a good source of fiber which promotes better gastrointestinal health. Consuming an adequate amount of fruits and veggies fights childhood obesity, and it puts children on the path to a happy and healthy life. “Data shows that in America, the most food-secure nation in the world, close to 90% of all children are not getting the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables.” - Lori Taylor (7:38 - 7:58)   The higher consumption of processed foods, coupled with the lack of fruits and veggies, has led to a childhood obesity crisis in America. It is estimated that one in five kids are now obese in this country. That's around thirteen million children between the ages of 2-19. It is a significant problem, and parents, pediatricians, and school nutritionists across the country are looking for solutions to counter these disturbing trends. While the task may seem daunting, adopting relatively simple habits at home can go a long way in improving the health of our children.   How to promote a healthy lifestyle for your children.   When promoting a healthy lifestyle with children, it's important to keep in mind that we are holistic beings. This encapsulates much more than our diet. Adequate fruits and vegetables are a fundamental component, but a healthy lifestyle also incorporates habits like exercise and quality rest.   Your child is never too young to start incorporating healthy habits that will stick with them throughout the rest of their life. There are simple things you can do to help your child make better choices. Infants. Breastfeeding has been associated with a lower risk of obesity in childhood and adolescence. The positive correlation has even been shown, at times, to reach well into adulthood. It has also been known to help with immune function and improve gastrointestinal health. Toddlers. At the 4-6 months stage, as you introduce solids, include a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in your child's diet. This can be a difficult stage, with food preferences, and sensitivity to textures. If they are reluctant, find creative ways to help them get their recommended amount. For example, try parboiling carrots if for a toddler who doesn't want to eat them raw.School-Aged Children. Help children make healthy choices at school by looking through the menu beforehand and pre-selecting the fruits and veggies they could order for lunch. Helping your child understand healthy choices beforehand can help them be more likely to order a turkey salad or an orange instead of those greasy nachos. It is also helpful to make sure your children eat breakfast. Those rushed mornings can make it feel impossible to make breakfast and get to school and work on time. However, even something small, like a fruit or a whole grain toast with peanut butter, can prevent children from being overly hungry at lunchtime and overeating, or making unhealthy food choices. At home, family meals are a great time to connect with your kids and to set an example of healthy food choices.  Plan to include plenty of fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains at the dinner table. Your children will follow your lead, and if you aren't eating your veggies, they aren't going to either.   “Your kids are not going to eat vegetables if you're not eating them. Set a positive example. Kids watch us, and they do what we do.” - Dr. Rachael Bilello (13:02 - 13:12)   Health and nutrition is a lifelong journey. It's never too late to start promoting a healthy lifestyle! Start with some small choices this week to incorporate healthy choices in your family.

High sodium intake from a variety of foods makes children vulnerable to heart disease later in life, according to a new report. Sodium reduction is considered a key public health strategy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases nationwide. This study, the latest in ongoing CDC efforts to monitor U.S. sodium intake, points to 10 types of foods that make up almost 50% of kids' sodium intake. (10.1016/j.jand.2016.09.010)

Background: Asthma and allergies are world-wide common chronic diseases among children and young people. Little information is available about the prevalence of these diseases in rural areas of Latin America. This study assesses the prevalence of symptoms of asthma and allergies among children in urban and rural areas at Oropeza Province in Bolivia. Methods: The Spanish version of the ISAAC standardized questionnaire and the ISAAC video questionnaire were implemented to 2584 children attending the fifth elementary grade in 36 schools in Oropeza province (response 91%). Lifetime, 12 months and severity prevalence were determined for asthma, rhinitis and eczema symptoms. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated adjusting for age using generalized linear mixed-effects models. Results: Median age of children was 11 years, 74.8% attended public schools, and 52.1% were female. While children attending urban schools had lower prevalence of self-reported wheeze in the written questionnaire (adjusted OR 0.6; 95% CI 0.4-1.9), they were more likely than children attending rural schools to report wheeze in the video questionnaire (aOR 2.1; 95% CI 1.0-2.6). They also reported more frequently severe rhinoconjunctivitis (aOR 2.8; 95% CI 1.2-6.6) and severe eczema symptoms (aOR 3.3; 95% CI 1.0-11.0). Conclusion: Overall in accordance with the hygiene hypothesis, children living in urban areas of Bolivia seem to have a higher prevalence of symptoms of asthma and allergies compared to children living in the country side. In order to develop primary prevention strategies, environmental factors need to be identified in future studies.

Background: Asthma and allergies are world-wide common chronic diseases among children and young people. Little is known about prevalence and environmental and dietary risk factors of asthma and allergies among rural and urban school children in Bolivia. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence, severity and risk factors associated with asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis, and eczema symptoms in children of school age in Oropeza Province – Bolivia. Methods: Overall, 2584 children (response 91%) attending fifth elementary grade in Oropeza province answered the written and the video questionnaire of the International Study on Asthma and Allergies in Childhood. Lifetime, 12 months and severity prevalence were determined for asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema symptoms. The associations between: environmental and dietary factors and symptoms of asthma, rhinoconjuctivitis and eczema symptoms were analysed using logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age, sex and place of living. Results: Median age of children was 11 years, 52% were female and 26% lived in rural areas. The prevalence of asthma symptoms was higher in the written (18%) than in the video questionnaire (6%). 22% of children reported symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis and 9% eczema symptoms. Overall, rural children reported more frequently symptoms of asthma and allergies than urban children. Parental smoking (adjusted OR 1.3; 95%IC 1.0-1.6), presence of disease vectors at home (fourth quartile vs. first quartile: 1.5; 1.1-2.2) and farm animals (1.3; 1.0-1.6) were statistically significant predictors of asthma symptoms detected by the written questionnaire. The associations were similar for symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema. A greater adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) was inversely related with asthma symptoms in the video questionnaire (reference category: 1st quartile; second quartile 0.6; 0.3-0.9, third quartile 0.7; 0.4-1.2, fourth quartile 0.6; 0.3-1.0) Conclusion: Our results suggest that promoting a healthy diet and reducing exposure to modifiable risk factors like environmental tobacco smoke, precarious housing conditions and certain disease vectors would have a significant positive impact on asthma and allergies morbidity in children in this region.

Background: In recent years, the prevalence of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema symptoms in childhood has considerably increased in developing countries including Bolivia, possibly due to changes in lifestyle, environmental and domestic factors. This study aimed to assess the association between environmental factors and asthma, rhinoconjuctivitis and eczema symptoms in school-aged children from Oropeza Province in Chuquisaca, Bolivia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 2340 children attending the fifth grade in 36 randomly selected elementary schools in Oropeza province. The prevalence of symptoms was determined using the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire. Environmental factors were assessed by the ISAAC environmental questionnaire including questions related to exposure to pets, farm animals, indoor and outdoor pollution, presence of disease vectors at home and precarious household conditions. Generalized linear mixed-effects models were adjusted for age, sex and place of living. Results: Thirty seven percent of children reported that at least one of their parents smoked at home. Wood or coal was used as cooking fuel in 19% of the homes and 29% reported intense truck traffic on the street where they lived. With respect to hygiene conditions, 86% reported exposure to dogs, 59% exposure to cats and 36% regular contact to farm animals. More than one precarious household condition was reported by 8% of children. In the adjusted model exposure to dog (adjusted OR 1.4; CI 95% 1.0-1.9), cat (1.2; 1.0-1.5), farm animals (1.5; 1.2-1.8); intense truck traffic (1.3; 1.0-1.6), parents smoking at home (1.2; 1.0-1.5), presence of disease vectors at home (fourth quartile vs. first quartile: 1.6; 1.2-2.3) and two or more precarious household conditions (1.5; 1.0-2.2) were significantly associated with rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms. The associations were similar for asthma and eczema symptoms; however it did not reach the level of statistical significance for all items. Conclusion: Our results support previous findings reported for poor communities especially in Latin America, showing that lower hygiene conditions did not have protective effect against asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema symptoms.
