Ett ökat intag av energirik mat i kombination med ett alltmer stillasittande liv är viktiga faktorer.I stora delar av befolkningen i Sverige verkar dock den stora ökningen ha stannat av och till och med minskat.

Högstadieelever kan antas uppleva skolrelaterade prestationskrav och forskningen tyder på att höga krav hos unga kan hänga samman med ökad risk för psykisk ohälsa (Rose & Perski, 2008). Syftet var att få en bild av upplevda skolrelaterade prestationskrav hos barn i år 8 samt möjliga uppkomst- och vidmakthållandefaktorer avseende dessa krav. Data insamlades via semistrukturerade intervjuer med 20 elever från skolor i områden med hög socioekonomisk status och bearbetades genom omväxlande induktiv respektive deduktiv tematisk analys. Analysen resulterade i teman kring barnens egna upplevda prestationskrav samt möjliga uppkomst- och vidmakthållandefaktorer, såväl externa som individrelaterade, till dessa krav. Det faktum att barnen befinner sig i tonåren uppfattades som en etablerande omständighet.
