Obesity, which is an important public health problem of the last century globally, affects not only adults but also children and young people. Reducing childhood obesity requires effective lifestyle changes and behavioral interventions aimed at healthy nutrition, physical activity and stress management. to reduce childhood obesity, including school-based multi-component behavioral research in Turkey it has not been demonstrated to parents. The program, which is planned to be carried out and aims to reduce overweight and obesity in children, is a school-based parenting lifestyle intervention involving multiple behaviors. The program includes family visits, game-based physical activity activities with children, healthy eating recommendations and healthy eating activities with parent participation. The program planned to be implemented was developed to evaluate whether healthy preferences and lifestyle intervention reduce obesity. The aim of this study is to make the positive health behaviors permanent in children, to be a guide for combating childhood obesity and to be useful for future research. to be applied to the research, nutrition consists of 10 sessions, physical activity, including issues such as coping with healthy ways with stress Child Obesity Program (COP), it is thought to overcome this deficiency was needed in Turkey.
Unhealthy eating habits inside and outside the home lead to developing obesity, leading to clinical and metabolic disorders, such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and chronic degenerative diseases, which are the leading causes of death in adult life. The present study compared changes in dietary habits, behaviors and metabolic profiles of obese children whose mothers attended group sessions, with those who received the usual nutritional consultation. The hypotheses were: 1. The mother's training in healthy eating methods, eliminating foods and nutrients that represent metabolic and cardiovascular risk, will change the consumption of these foods in the family, reducing them by 20% and increasing the consumption of food in the same proportion. beneficial, compared to the family of the child who only receives individual consultation. 2. Children with obesity who modify or eliminate metabolic and cardiovascular risk foods and nutrients from their normal diet will have a weight loss of -1.5 BMI compared to children who only receive the usual consultation. Randomized clinical trial, 177 mother/obese child pairs participated, 90 in the intervention group (IG) and 87 in the control group (CG). The intervention group attended six group education sessions to promote healthy eating and 87 received the usual nutritional consultation, over a three-month period. Frequency of food consumption, behaviors during feeding in the house and metabolic profile was evaluated. Data was compared using Student's t or X2.
A total of 52 overweight children aged between eight and sixteen years will be recruited by criterion based purposive sampling to participate in the two groups pretest post test randomized clinical study. Random allocation of the eligible subjects for treatment will be done by the block randomization method with matrix of thirteen rows and four columns (13x4). The subject will be allotted to the group randomly, based on the chit selected by the person other the primary researcher.Once the block is filled, the next row block will be opened. Thus equal distribution of overweight children in the each group will be ensured. Group A will be receiving actual core stability training (Level 1 - Mat exercises and Level 2 - Swiss Ball exercises) for 6 weeks with a frequency of three sessions per week.Group B will receive no training. Each session will last for 30 minutes of duration. The static and dynamic balance, foot pressure distribution and core strength will be assessed at the baseline and at the end of the treatment sessions.
Aims: The principal aim of this study is to evaluate a model of Child Centred Health Dialog (CCHD) in Child Health Services (CHS) aiming to promote a healthy lifestyle in families and prevent overweight and obesity in preschool children. The specific aims are to compare CCHD with usual care and to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the CCHD for all children and specifically for children with overweight at the age of 4 years and to compare parents self-efficacy and feeding practices in families that received either CCHD or usual care Methods: A clustered non-blinded Randomised Control Trial was set up comparing usual care with a structured multicomponent child-centred health dialogue consisting of two parts: 1) a universal part directed to all children and 2) a targeted part for families where the child is identified with overweight.
Leading health organizations have identified prevention of obesity in young children as a critical public health challenge. Low levels of physical activity and high levels of sedentary behavior may contribute to the development of excessive fatness in young children, but these relationships have not been fully explored, and accelerometry rarely has been used to measure physical activity levels in infants and toddlers. No previous study has used accelerometry as an objective measure of physical activity in young children as they develop from infancy to preschool age. Accordingly, little is known about the factors associated with the development of physical activity behavior in very young children, and little is known about the influence of physical activity and sedentary behavior, measured objectively, on development of weight status during the transition from infancy to age 3. The first aim of this study is to describe physical activity and sedentary behavior in young children as they develop from infancy to preschool age. The second aim is to describe the longitudinal associations of weight status with physical activity and sedentary behavior as young children develop from infancy to preschool age. The proposed investigation will employ a longitudinal, observational study design. Participants will be 160 children and their biological mothers living in Columbia, South Carolina. For each participating child, measurements will be taken at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months of age. At each time point, each child's physical activity, sedentary behavior, weight status and motor developmental status will be measured objectively, and each child's mother will complete a survey to assess demographic, social and physical environmental factors; gross motor milestones; parenting practices related to physical activity and sedentary behavior; and dietary practices. Childcare center directors will complete a survey annually to assess center characteristics, and the Environment and Policy Assessment and Observation (EPAO) will be administered in the child's classroom annually.
YES! We can PLAY: A Physical Activity and Nutrition After-School Program for Middle School Students, is a collaborative partnership between the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the Birmingham City Schools District to decrease health disparities in obesity and obesity-related diseases by increasing physical activity levels and healthy eating behavior among Birmingham youth. Through the after-school program in which children choose from a menu of sports programming, the proposed intervention will increase physical literacy of the students through education related to both physical activity and nutrition as well as social-emotional learning which will increase students' ability to integrate the information and activities of the program into their lives moving forward.
A randomized controlled trial enrolling 900 parent-infant dyads (English and Spanish speaking) comparing Greenlight (control), a behavioral intervention focusing on nutrition, physical activity, media use, and sleep as compared to Greenlight Plus (intervention) which includes the above materials plus a health information technology (HIT) intervention aimed at supporting family goal-setting and behavior change during well-child checks throughout the first 2 years of life.
Childhood obesity is a formidable public health issue in the United States, disproportionately affecting children from lower socioeconomic status households. Onset of obesity predicts cardiometabolic risks and other health problems in adolescence and into adulthood; thus, effective and early prevention is critical. Healthy parenting may play a pivotal role in preventing early childhood obesity. Warm, responsive, and consistent parenting is associated with the development of child self-regulation as well as healthy eating and physical activity practices, and thus may be protective against obesity risk. Targeting the parent-child relationship may be especially important when facilitating behavior change in parents who have ongoing stressors (e.g., low-income families). The proposed study aims to test an adaptation of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an innovative parent management program that improves the parent-child relationship and enhances general parenting skills through the use of therapeutic in vivo coaching. Our adapted version, PCIT-Health, is a selective-prevention intervention that includes content specific to improving parent-child interactions and parenting in obesity-salient contexts, such as mealtime and child screen time. This project will elucidate novel approaches to, and novel targets of, early childhood obesity prevention and will provide data critical to test PCIT-Health in a large-scale randomized controlled trial. Parent-child dyads will be randomly assigned to PCIT-Health or a waitlist control in order to accomplish the following aims: AIM 1: To assess the acceptability and feasibility of the PCIT-Health delivery and assessment methods in low-income parents of overweight young children ages 3 to 6 years. AIM 2: To test the preliminary efficacy and estimate the effect size of PCIT-Health on changes in child BMI z-score (primary outcome) from baseline to (1) intervention completion and (2) 6-month post-intervention. AIM 3: To explore the effect of PCIT-Health on the following secondary outcomes: (1) parent-child relationship quality, (2) parent behavior management skills, (3) child self-regulation, (4) child eating behaviors, (5) child physical activity, and (6) child screen media use.
This study will examine the mediator/moderator variables that affect efficacy of a parent stress intervention with nutrition education (PMH+N: parenting mindfully for health) vs. Control intervention with nutrition education (CTL+N) on parent stress, parenting, health behaviors and child obesity risk. A non-randomized historical control group will also be assessed during the intervention and follow-up periods throughout to obtain outcome assessment without any interventions being provided.
