American Kids Getting Fewer Prescription Drugs: Study

HealthDay – 4 hrs ago MONDAY, June 18 (HealthDay News) -- New research shows that the number of prescriptions written for children has dropped by 7 percent in recent years.

Between 2002 and 2010, notable decreases occurred in antibiotic, cough/cold, allergy, pain and depression prescriptions, according to the study, which was conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. At the same time, there was a rise in the number of asthma, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and contraceptive prescriptions.

"Approximately 263 million prescriptions were dispensed to the pediatric population in 2010 -- 7 percent lower than the number of prescriptions dispensed in 2002," the study authors said, adding that the number of prescriptions written for children dropped by 2.4 million each year between 2002 and 2010.

During that time, however, the number of prescriptions written for adults increased by 22 percent, according to the study.

The findings were released online June 18 and are scheduled to appear in the July print edition of the journal Pediatrics.

The top 10 prescribed drugs for children 17 and under in 2010 included antibiotics, asthma medications and the pain reliever ibuprofen. Antibiotics accounted for approximately one-quarter of all prescriptions written between 2002 and 2010, according to the study.

By 2010, however, the number of antibiotic prescriptions had decreased by 14 percent.

"This could potentially be good news. The antibiotic numbers are consistent with the efforts to decrease the use of antibiotics for upper respiratory infections," said Dr. Kenneth Bromberg, chairman of pediatrics at the Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York City.

He noted, however, that this particular study wasn't designed to tease out the reasons behind a change in medication use, only to determine whether a change occurred.

Still, he said, "It's likely that this represents some of the efforts to cut down on antibiotic use, and this will help to decrease the risk of antibiotic resistance."

The volume of allergy-medication prescriptions also decreased significantly (61 percent), but much of that decrease may be because many allergy medications went from prescription-only to being available over the counter during the study period.

The number of prescriptions written for cough and cold medication dropped by 42 percent during the study. The authors suggest that this may be due to a public-health advisory in 2008 that warned against using such medications in children under 2.

Prescriptions for pain medications declined by 14 percent, and the number of prescriptions for depression drugs dropped by 5 percent.

Dr. Victor Fornari, director of the division of child and adolescent psychiatry at North Shore-LIJ Health System in New Hyde Park, N.Y., said the decrease in depression-medication prescriptions may have something to do with the black box warnings that were added to the drugs, which described an increased risk of suicide.

Not all classes of medications were prescribed less often. The number of prescriptions for ADHD medications increased by 46 percent, according to the study. Part of that increase likely is due to an increase in the number of children being diagnosed with ADHD. In 2002, 4.4 million children were estimated to have the disorder. By 2010, that number was 5 million, according to the study.

Even with the increase in prescriptions, Fornari said ADHD still is being underdiagnosed and undertreated.

"With medication, the outcomes can be dramatic improvement in school performance and behavior," he said.

Another class of medications for which prescriptions increased dramatically was contraceptives. The number of prescriptions written increased by 93 percent, according to the study. The authors pointed out, however, that other research, done by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hasn't shown an increase in the use of birth control pills.

Bromberg said one possible explanation for this disparity stems from the study itself. The researchers looked for the number of prescriptions written, not how many individuals received a prescription. So it may be that females on birth control are staying on the drug for longer periods of time, which would increase the number of prescriptions written.

The study also found that the number of prescriptions for asthma medications increased by 14 percent. The authors didn't theorize as to what might be behind this increase.

Many Preschoolers Not Getting Enough Outdoor Play

HealthDay – 21 mins ago MONDAY, April 2 (HealthDay News) -- Roughly half of America's preschool-aged children are not getting a daily dose of parentally supervised outdoor playtime, a new study reveals.

Analyzing data on nearly 9,000 children previously collected in a long-term U.S. study, researchers found that much of the country's youth, especially young girls, aren't engaging in routine outdoor physical activities.

"One of the main points is that even though many of us may assume that young children spend some time outdoors every day, there's considerable room for improvement in how often parents take their children outside to play," said study lead author Dr. Pooja Tandon, a pediatrician and researcher with the Seattle Children's Research Institute.

"This study highlights something we already know from other studies, which is that girls in particular seem to have fewer opportunities for outdoor play than boys. We have to try to support girls in the same way we encourage boys to be active and to play outdoors," added Tandon, who is also an acting assistant professor in the department of pediatrics at the University of Washington in Seattle.

The findings appear online April 2 in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.

The study authors said the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests doctors take a proactive role in encouraging routine physical activity among kids, particularly outdoor activity, which can be critical to helping children develop motor skills, as well as promoting vision and mental acuity.

The research team looked at statistics on the outdoor-activity routines of 8,950 children born in 2001 who were tracked through enrollment in kindergarten. The data were deemed to be nationally representative, reflecting the behavior of an estimated 4 million kids.

Each child's mother was interviewed regarding the frequency and nature of her child's outdoor play experience at the ages of 9 months, 2 years and 4 years, (or a year before kindergarten) and then again once enrolled in kindergarten.

Only 51 percent of the kids were found to be following a daily routine of parent-supervised outdoor play. That figure, however, rose slightly -- to 58 percent -- among children who were not enrolled in some form of child care.

Boys were more likely than girls to get daily outdoor exercise, and children whose parents were more likely to exercise also were more likely to get out on a daily basis.

What's more, race seemed to play a role, with children from white families getting substantially more outdoor play than those with Asian, black or Hispanic mothers. Specifically, Asian mothers were 49 percent less likely to take their children outdoors for play, black mothers were 41 percent less likely and Hispanic mothers were 20 percent less likely.

Mothers were more likely than fathers to be the supervising parent during outdoor play -- 44 percent of mothers said they took their child out for daily play, while only 24 percent of fathers did so.

TV-watching habits of children did not affect the findings. Nor did mothers' marital status, perceived neighborhood safety or family income levels.

"I want to encourage parents to talk to all their child's caregivers, and to ask about their outdoor playtime experience in the same way they would normally ask about how much their child ate that day and what they learned," Tandon said.

Rahil Briggs, a child psychologist with Children's Hospital at Montefiore, in New York City, agreed that "there's a very real need for growing children to have outdoor play."

"Unfortunately, I'm not too surprised with these findings, because of what we already know about the obesity epidemic in this country and all the sedentary activities our children are partaking in with the use of video games, TV, the iPad and all of that," she said.

"Parents need to change their thinking about outdoor play as a luxury that they can get in for their kids on a Saturday, to something along the lines of a necessity," Briggs said. "We need to know that it has an important impact on our children's physical health and also on their behavioral development and concerns."

Keep Your Teeth Healthy by Getting Dental Checkups Regularly

March 26th, 2012

There are many people that suffer from teeth and gum problems that never seem to go away. This is typically due to people not paying their dentists regular visits. If you have a tendency to developing issues with your teeth and gums, you have even more of a reason to have annual or semi-annual dental checkups.

A lot of people find that they have issues such as wisdom teeth that grow in the wrong way and become impacted. The only way to deal with this issue is to have the offending tooth or teeth surgically removed. This condition can be caught well ahead of the time when you would start suffering pain from it through regular dental visits.

Athletes in particular need to make regular visits to their dentists. This is especially true of those athletes participating in such sports as boxing, martial arts and any others that can cause damage to their teeth.

A dentist can suggest a mouthpiece that needs to be worn during all sports events. This will protect your teeth from any direct contact hits to them and will, therefore, keep you from losing any teeth due to playing your sport.

People that visit their dentists on a regular basis receive annual or semi-annual cleanings where they have plaque removed from their teeth and, possibly a fluoride treatment to help keep their teeth strong. It is also at these regular visits that any problems such as cavities and gum disease can be discovered in time to treat them so they can be fixed or healed. Everything done at these regular dental visits are meant to help you maintain the good health of your teeth until the next time you visit.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that you can’t visit your dentist in between regular checkups if a problem should arise. Any ongoing pain from a toothache definitely warrants a visit to your dentist. It’s quite possible that you’ve acquired an infection that will need antibiotics to clear it up.

In addition, your dentist can give you something to manage the pain while the infection is healing. The thing to remember is that regular dental visits keep your teeth and gums healthy.
