Adequate nutrition is a crucial component for child growth. Under- or malnutrition may not only affect present and future growth, but also a child's ability to develop skills. Tremendous efforts are being made to try and understand the mechanisms leading to stunted growth, proper diet composition, and an appropriate rehabilitation diet for children suffering from under- or malnutrition in all age groups during the growth period. In this publication, specialists in nutrition and growth present some of the best studies from peer-reviewed journals published between July 2015 and June 2016. Each paper is briefly summarized and supplemented with editorial comments which evaluate the clinical importance of each article and discuss its application. This 'Yearbook' is an important tool for practicing physicians, including pediatricians, subspecialists in pediatric gastroenterology, metabolism and nutrition, and endocrinology. Nutritionists and dieticians, as well as other health professionals involved in the care of children, will also find this to be a useful resource.

The prevalence of obesity is increasing alarmingly to epidemic proportions in children and adolescents in both developed [1] and developing countries [2]. Obesity is known to occur as a result of genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and behavioral influences [3]. Early life may be a "critical period" when appetite and regulation of energy balance is programmed, with lifelong consequences for obesity risk. Childhood obesity is widely recognized as a risk factor for development of comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, and metabolic syndrome in childhood or later life.

Dietary energy intake is a major environmental risk factor which has been the focus of numerous studies. The studies reviewed below have reported that promoting longer breastfeeding duration in high birth weight newborns may decrease their risk of developing obesity, and that the consumption of high volumes of cow milk in late infancy may increase the risk for later obesity. Research has also shown that the content of food in later life, such as protein, salt, and dietary fiber intake, can influence the tendency to become obese. Therefore, interventions in early feeding practices may help prevent childhood obesity.

Another study reported that the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) genotype effects can be attenuated with lower protein intake. Some of the studies evaluated the impact of meals and frequency of snack consumption on the risk of adiposity, and also evaluated the dietary patterns and dietary quality associated with a higher cardiometabolic risk. Few studies have revealed an association of hypovitaminosis D with cardiometabolic risk factors.

Finally, unhealthy eating behavior and obesity have been related to a sedentary lifestyle, particularly screen time. With increased consumption of "screen media" and social networking especially among adolescents, it seems that there is an association between the use of social networking sites and unhealthy eating behavior. This chapter reviews a selection of important articles published between July 2015 and June 2016 focused on the relation between nutrition, obesity, and metabolic syndrome in childhood and in young adults.
