Patients had increased odds of talking about their child's weight if their child was perceived to have an overweight/obese weight status (P less then .001). Patients with older children had increased odds of talking about their weight with their child (P = .021). Conclusions and implications Additional research assessing the family meal practices and weight talk in the families of adults pursuing weight loss could yield important evidence that could lead to improved patient outcomes, and safely promote healthy behaviors and prevention of obesity in children.Background Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) is believed to only occur in supine and sleeping conditions, and thus, CSR treatment is applied to those specific states. Although CSR has also been described in patients with heart failure (HF) during wakefulness, its persistence in an upright position is still unknown. Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess the predictors, clinical correlates, and prognostic value of diurnal CSR in upright position. Methods Outpatients with systolic HF underwent a comprehensive evaluation, including short-term respiratory monitoring with a head-up tilt test to investigate the presence of upright CSR, assessment of chemoreflex response to hypoxia and hypercapnia, and 24-h cardiorespiratory recording. At follow-up, cardiac death was considered as the endpoint. Results Of 574 consecutive patients (left ventricular ejection fraction 32 ± 9%; age 65 ± 13 years; 80% men), 195 (34%) presented supine CSR only, 82 (14%) presented supine and upright CSR, and 297 patients (52%) had normal breathing. Patients with upright CSR had the greatest apnea-hypopnea and central apnea index (at daytime and nighttime), the worst hemodynamic profile and exercise perfo
