Objective:
Childhood obesity is a serious health epidemic affecting the world today. Children who are obese earlier in life are more likely to stay obese and have an increased risk of poorer health outcomes later in life, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Obesity is also associated with deficits in executive function. Executive function (EF) is comprised of several distinct but interrelated abilities including working memory, planning, inhibition, and flexibility. Prior research suggests that obesity drives brain changes which implicate executive function structures. Our aim is to examine the relationship between childhood obesity and executive function in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Participants and Methods:These data are from an ongoing study on neural and behavioral phenotypes of executive functioning in children with developmental disabilities, primarily Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Only study participants with complete BMI and BRIEF data were included in these analyses (n = 184). 134 representing (72.8%) of the participants were Male, 49 representing (26.6%) were Female, and 1 representing (.5%) were Gender nonconforming. 50 representing (27.2%) of the participants were between 8-9 years, 55 representing (29.9%) were between 10-11 years, and 80 representing (43.0%) were between 12-13 years. Average age was 11 years. 11 representing (6.0%) of the participants were underweight, 115 representing (62.5%) were healthy, 29 representing (15.8%) were overweight, and 29 representing (15.8%) were obese. Average BMI was 19.0, ranging from 13.2 to 36.3. 106 representing (57.6%) of the participants identified as White, 65 representing (35.3%) identified as BIPOC (2 Asian, 31 Hispanic/Latinx, 32 Black) and 13 representing (4.4%) identified as other/unspecified. 114 representing (61.9%) of the participants had a diagnosis of ADHD, ASD, or comorbid ASD and ADHD, 70 representing (38.1%) had a diagnosis of other. Average FSIQ-2 score was 106.98. Parents were asked to complete the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF-2) and the Inhibit, Shift, Working Memory (WM), Planning, and Global Executive Composite (GEC) scales were used as the dependent measure in analyses. BMI (kg/mA2) was calculated based on CDC 2000 growth charts and classified into 4 mutually exclusive categories—underweight, healthy, overweight, and obese. There was a prediction that higher BMI would be associated with lower executive function.
Results:A one-way ANOVA revealed a statistically significant difference between groups (F(3,180) = 3.649, p = .014). A Tukey post hoc test revealed more Shift problems in the obese group (74.55 ± 11.7) compared to the overweight group (65.79 ± 11.6, p = .026). There was no statistically significant difference between the underweight/healthy and obese groups (p = .999/p = .054). There was no statistically significant difference in mean T-scores for the Inhibit, WM, Planning, or GEC scales.
Conclusions:Childhood obesity and executive function deficits are significant risk factors for adult health outcomes. Obesity and elevated executive function T-scores for flexibility are related in a group of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Future investigation will explore the role of cortical thickness and medication in these data.

Quantifying the rate of wave attenuation in sea ice is key to understanding trends in the Antarctic marginal ice zone extent. However, a paucity of observations of waves in sea ice limits progress on this front. We deployed 14 waves-in-ice observation systems (WIIOS) on Antarctic sea ice during the Polynyas, Ice Production, and seasonal Evolution in the Ross Sea expedition (PIPERS) in 2017. The WIIOS provide in situ measurement of surface wave characteristics. Two experiments were conducted, one while the ship was inbound and one outbound. The sea ice throughout the experiments generally consisted of pancake and young ice <0.5 m thick. The WIIOS survived a minimum of 4 d and a maximum of 6 weeks. Several large-wave events were captured, with the largest recorded significant wave height over 9 m. We find that the total wave energy measured by the WIIOS generally decays exponentially in the ice and the rate of decay depends on ice concentration.

In the marginal ice zone, surface waves drive motion of sea ice floes. The motion of floes relative to each other can cause periodic collisions, and drives the formation of pancake sea ice. Additionally, the motion of floes relative to the water results in turbulence generation at the interface between the ice and ocean below. These are important processes for the formation and growth of pancakes, and likely contribute to wave energy loss. Models and laboratory studies have been used to describe these motions, but there have been no in situ observations of relative ice velocities in a natural wave field. Here, we use shipboard stereo video to measure wave motion and relative motion of pancake floes simultaneously. The relative velocities of pancake floes are typically small compared to wave orbital motion (i.e. floes mostly follow the wave orbits). We find that relative velocities are well-captured by existing phase-resolved models, and are only somewhat over-estimated by using bulk wave parameters. Under the conditions observed, estimates of wave energy loss from ice–ocean turbulence are much larger than from pancake collisions. Increased relative pancake floe velocities in steeper wave fields may then result in more wave attenuation by increasing ice–ocean shear.
