Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
• Interventions: Behavioral: Lifestyle Education Sessions and Youth Exercise Sessions

• Registration Number: NCT01236794
• Lead Sponsor: Arizona State University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a lifestyle intervention program on type 2 diabetes risk factors and quality of life in overweight Latino youth.

Detailed Description

With the increasing prevalence of obesity, the incidence of obesity-related co-morbidities including depression and type 2 diabetes have emerged as critical public health conditions. Furthermore, Latinos experience a disproportionately greater burden of these obesity-related disorders. Therefore, we have developed a 12-week community-based lifestyle intervention that includes weekly education sessions for children and their parents and 3 exercise sessions per week for youth. The program will be delivered at a local YMCA in the greater Phoenix Metropolitan area.
