Clinical Trial Summary

The main purpose of the present study is to perform a 10 weeks dietary intervention study with a follow-up for 52 weeks in children from 7-14 years of age with overweight or obesity. In a caloric restricted and increased physical activity setting the control group will consume a low-moderate protein (15E%/day) diet whereas the intervention group will consume a higher protein (25E%/day) diet. Furthermore, the investigators want to investigate the effect of frequent follow-up after intervention. Compared to the low-moderate protein diet, the investigators hypothesis that a diet with higher consumption of protein-containing foods will more effectively induce weight loss (a reduction in BMI-SDS) or weight maintenance in children with overweight or obesity, and improve risk factors for type 2 diabetes and Quality of Life.


Description:

The study will be performed in collaboration with the staff of the well-established multi-component-overnight camps (Julemærkehjem) in Denmark. The multi-component-overnight camps are intensive weight loss camps to which Danish schoolchildren, from 7-14 years of age, are referred to for 10-weeks intervention focusing on healthy lifestyle, healthy eating, new habits and increased physical activity. The primary outcome is anthropometry (BMI-SDS, fat mass, fat-free mass). Secondary outcomes are blood-tests measuring metabolic, inflammatory and liver markers and questionnaires investigating Quality of Life, Eating Behavior, Eating Habits and Disturbed Eating. The children will be measured at baseline, 10-weeks and 52-weeks follow-up. Furthermore, participants will be invited to follow-up investigation 3 years, 5 years, 7 years and 10 years, respectively, after the intervention.

Study Design


Intervention

Dietary Supplement:
Diet high on protein (25E%/day)
In a caloric restricted and increased physical activity setting, the control group will consume a low-moderate protein (15E%/day) diet whereas the intervention group will consume a higher protein (25E%/day) diet.
Other:
Increased follow-up contact after attending a weight loss camp
After leaving the camp, the children and their families with increased follow-up contact will be contacted once every month within the first 6 month and once every other month until 52-weeks follow-up (8 times total). The children and their families will be contacted by phone, facetime or skype as they prefer, within a predetermined and known timeframe. The conversation will focus on individual topics chosen by the child/parent.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in Weight Weight will be measured in kilograms using a Bioelectric impedance Changes from baseline to 10 weeks and 52-weeks follow-up.
Primary Change in Height Height will be measured in centimeter using a fixed wall measuring tape Changes from baseline to 10 weeks and 52-weeks follow-up.
Primary Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) Weight in kilograms and height in centimeter will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2 Changes from baseline to 10 weeks and 52-weeks follow-up.
Primary Change in fat mass/fat free mass Fat mass/fat free mass will be measured using a Bioelectric impedance. Changes from baseline to 10 weeks and 52-weeks follow-up.
Secondary Change in children´s well-being Children´s well-being will be measured using the Children PedsQL4.0 questionnaire. A 5-point ordinal scale is used to score how big a problem everyday events are (the minimum value will be "never a problem" and the maximum value will be "almost always a problem"). Items are reverse-scored and linearly transformed so that higher scores indicate higher well-being. Changes from baseline to 10-weeks and 52-weeks follow-up
Secondary Change in Eating Habits Eating habits will be measured using the Children's Eating Habits Questionnaire-FFQ. The FFQ contains forty-three food groups clustered into thirty-six according to their nutritional profiles. On an 8-point ordinal scale children will answer how frequent they consumed different food groups (the minimum value will be "never/less than once a week" and the maximum value will be "4 or more times/week"). Changes from baseline to 10-weeks, 22 weeks and 52-weeks follow-up.
Secondary Change in Eating Behaviour Eating Behaviour will be measured using the Child Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ). CEBQ questions are grouped into 8 subgroups: food responsiveness (FR), enjoyment of food (EF), desire to drink (DD), satiety responsiveness (SR), slowness in eating (SE), food fussiness (FF), emotional overeating (EOE) and emotional undereating (EUE). Questions will be answered on a 5-point ordinal scale (the minimum value will be "never" and the maximum value will be "always"). Overweight and obese children will scores higher in 'food approach' subgroups (i.e. FR, DD, EF, EOE) and lower in 'food avoidant' subgroups (i.e. SR, SE, EUE, FF). Changes from baseline to 10-weeks, 22 weeks and 52-weeks follow-up.
Secondary Loss of Control Eating (LOC) episodes LOC eating will be measured using two questions from the Eating Disorder examination questionnaire (EDE-Q 6.0) and measured on a ratio-interval scale and 0 will be the minimum value. Recurrent LOC eating is defined by >4 LOC episodes within the past 28 days. LOC eating must be investigated over three consecutive months before evaluation. Will be measured three consecutive months before the intervention and three consecutive months after the intervention.
Secondary Metabolic markers A blood test will collected to measure metabolic markers (HbA1c, urate, lipids (total, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides), fasting plasma glucose). Units of measure will be the same in all. Changes from baseline to 10 weeks and 52-weeks follow-up.
Secondary Liver markers A blood test will collected to measure liver markers (Asat, Alat, alkaline phosphatase, platlets, GGT, albumine). Units of measure will be the same in all. Changes from baseline to 10 weeks and 52-weeks follow-up.
Secondary Inflammatory markers A blood test will collected to measure inflammatory markers (High-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), Interleukin(IL)-6, IL-8, leptin, adiponectin, cluster of differentiation(CD)163, CD36, fibroblast growth factor(FGF)-21, monocyte chemoattractant protein(MCP)-1, and Growth/differentiation factor (GDF)15). Units of measure will be the same in all. Changes from baseline to 10 weeks and 52-weeks follow-up.
