Anisometropia of spherical equivalent and astigmatism among myopes: a 23-year follow-up study of prevalence and changes from childhood to adulthood.

2017

Purpose To study anisometropia of spherical equivalent and astigmatism from the onset of myopia at school age to adulthood. Methods A total of 240 myopic schoolchildren (mean age 10.9 years), with no previous spectacles, were recruited during 1983–1984 to a randomized 3-year clinical trial of bifocal treatment of myopia. Examinations with subjective cyclopedic refraction were repeated 3 years later (follow-up 1) for 238 subjects and thereafter at the mean ages of 23.2 (follow-up 2) and 33.9 years (follow-up 3) for 178 and 134 subjects. After exclusions, the 102 subjects who attended all three follow-ups were included in the analyses. Corneal refractive power and astigmatism and anterior cha…

Loneliness and subjective health complaints among school-aged children

2018

Aim: The first aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of loneliness and subjective health complaints (SHCs) among school-aged children in Finland. The second aim was to analyse to what extent perceived loneliness explains any variance in SHCs among school-aged children. Method: A representative sample of 5925 Finnish children and adolescents from grades 5 ( Mage=11.8 years), 7 ( Mage=13.8) and 9 ( Mage=15.8) completed the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the prevalence of health complaints and loneliness. Structural equation modelling was used to test how strongly loneliness was associated with SHCs. Results: The p…

Astigmatism among myopics and its changes from childhood to adult age: a 23‐year follow‐up study

2014

Purpose To study the prevalence of and changes in astigmatism from the onset of myopia at school age. Methods Two hundred and forty myopic schoolchildren (mean age 10.9 years), with no previous spectacles, were recruited during 1983–1984 to a randomized 3-year clinical trial of bifocal treatment of myopia. Three annual examinations with subjective cycloplegic refraction were performed for 237–238 subjects. Subsequent examinations were performed at the mean ages of 23.2 and 33.9 years for 178 and 163 subjects, and the last examination, including data from prescriptions of different ophthalmologists, for 32 subjects. Corneal topography was studied at baseline, at the 3-year follow-up and at t…

Associations Between Physical Activity and Perceived School Performance of Young Adolescents in Health Behavior in School-Aged Children Countries

2020

Background: Regular physical activity and doing well in school are important for growing adolescents. In this study, the associations between physical activity and perceived school performance (PSP) are examined together. Methods: Young adolescents from 42 countries (n = 193,949) in Europe and Canada were examined for associations between self-reported moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and PSP. Multinominal analyses were conducted with 0 to 2 days of MVPA and below average PSP as reference categories. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were reported for pooled data and individual countries after controlling for family affluence scale. Results: Girls had better PSP…

MOTIVATION OF LATVIAN YOUNG ATHLETES TO BUILD A DUAL CAREER

2020

The study explores factors that motivate high- performance athletes to manage their dual career while studying in secondary school. The dual career experience of Latvian youth is obtained. The paper analyses the results from young high- performance athletes’ questionnaire, focusing on the support young athletes receive and would need to receive in their education and sports training process. A survey, based on an individual approach, was carried out in training camps and schools; 125 high- performance athletes of the secondary school age completed the questionnaire (19 questionnaires were filled in electronically). The gained data were processed with the statistics methods using SPSS Statis…

Lien entre dépression et estime de soi scolaire chez les enfants intellectuellement précoces

2007

Resume Les travaux sur la psychologie des enfants intellectuellement precoces evoquent frequemment un developpement affectif relativement immature en regard des capacites intellectuelles et des difficultes relationnelles avec les pairs, les enseignants, l’entourage et parfois les parents. D’un point de vue psychopathologique, differents types de troubles ont ete observes tels que des symptomes depressifs, une instabilite motrice avec hyperactivite, des deficits attentionnels, de l’impulsivite et une baisse de l’estime de soi. Dans cette etude, nous souhaitons verifier les liens entre estime de soi et symptomes psychopathologiques chez ces enfants. Une comparaison de 23 enfants intellectuell…

Langage et Soi verbal Des rapports entre pathologies limites et dysphasies graves chez l'enfant

1999

Resume Ce travail dessine les convergences et les divergences qui existent entre dysphasie grave de l'enfant et pathologies limites de l'enfance. Il a egalement pour but de s'interroger sur les troubles sous-jacents qui generent les tableaux symptomatiques de la dysphasie grave. Le concept d'un trouble majeur de l'activite representative parait fecond, exploitable cliniquement et devant etre prolonge par une interrogation sur la representation de soi chez le dysphasique grave, en mettant a profit l'apport de Stern quant aux processus d'edification des « sens de soi «, notamment celui du « sens du Soi verbal «. De facon dialectique, la dysphasie grave offre un modele invoque permettant de me…

Health-Related Behaviors Among School-Aged Children and Adolescents During the Spanish Covid-19 Confinement

2020

In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) world pandemic, affected countries such as Spain enacted measures comprising compulsory confinement as well as restrictions regarding free movement. Such measures likely influence children's and adolescents' lifestyles. Our study aimed to investigate the impact that the Covid-19 confinement has on health-related behaviors (HRBs) among Spanish children and adolescents. An online survey was administered to 516 parents to collect data about 860 children and adolescents (49.2% girls) aged between 3 and 16 years in relation to physical activity, screen exposure, sleep time, and fruit and vegetable consumption during the Covid-19 confinement.…

If You Could Read My Mind—An Experimental Beauty-Contest Game with Children

2021

AbstractWe develop a new design for the experimental beauty-contest game (BCG) that is suitable for children in school age and test it with 114 schoolchildren aged 9–11 years as well as with adults. In addition, we collect a measure for cognitive skills to link these abilities with successful performance in the game. Results demonstrate that children can successfully understand and play a BCG. Choices start at a slightly higher level than those of adults but learning over time and depth of reasoning are largely comparable with the results of studies run with adults. Cognitive skills, measured as fluid IQ, are predictive only of whether children choose weakly dominated strategies but are nei…
