简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of lifestyle intervention on the management of childhood overweight and to explore the factors that contribute to the outcome, as well as the costs for the health care system. The hypotheses of the study are that lifestyle intervention is efficient in reducing BMI-SDS and thus effective in preventing overweight to progress to obesity, and it is also cost effective.
The research is necessary for the development of overweight treatment, and try to find out the optimal duration and intensity for the treatment and content useful for clinical work.
详细描述
Methods and analyses: The aim of this study is to recruit 80 children and to randomize them either to an intervention group or a control group with standard care. Intervention group receive intensive, family-based diet and physical activity counseling, deliver by a multidisciplinary team of a pediatrician, a nurse and a clinical nutritionist.
