Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test the usability, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a digital dietary self-monitoring (dDSM) log that uses positive reinforcement strategies (caregiver praise and gamification) to improve child engagement in DSM. The main aims are to: - Examine the usability of a dDSM log that uses positive reinforcement (praise and gamification) among children 8-12 years with overweight or obesity and their adult caregivers. - Examine the acceptability of a dDSM log that uses positive reinforcement (praise and gamification) among children 8-12 years with overweight or obesity and their adult caregivers - Conduct a proof-of-concept trial that examines the effects of positive reinforcement on child DSM behaviors. - Explore differences in children's intrinsic motivation. Participating children will be instructed to self-monitor their daily intake of targeted food groups (fruits, vegetables, sweet and salty snack foods, and sugar-sweetened beverages) for 4 weeks using a personal web-based DSM log. Each child-caregiver dyad will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions: BASIC, PRAISE, GAME, or PRAISE+GAME. For PRAISE and PRAISE+GAME conditions, caregivers will be instructed to provide daily process praise to their child related to DSM behaviors. For GAME and PRAISE+GAME conditions, logs will integrate three game mechanics: points, levels, and a virtual pet. Points will be accumulated for engaging in DSM behaviors, and accrual of points will evolve a virtual pet over time.
The FACILITY STUDY is aimed at evaluating maternal and children social, cultural, economic and lifestyle-related risk factors for the development of childhood overweight, obesity and early adiposity rebound (EAR). This study consists of two phases: a cross-sectional phase and a retrospective case-control study.
Childhood obesity has been rising steadily over the past 40 years. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) observed around 340 million overweight or obese children and adolescents worldwide, including one in five in France. The causes are complex, both individual (genetic, biological, behavioral) and collective (social, economic, cultural). Childhood obesity encourages the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, and can affect mental health. Without early treatment, the risk of obesity persisting into adulthood is high. In the Alpes-Maritimes region, the commune of Mouans-Sartoux has been promoting a local diet in line with PNNS-4 recommendations since 2011. We wish to study the impact of these actions on the health of Mouans children. We propose a preliminary observational study to assess the relationship between family adherence to PNNS recommendations and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Mouans-Sartoux elementary school children.
Using a two-group randomized study design, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the adapted family-centered mHealth tool on child BMI z-score (primary outcome), child dietary behaviors, and parental feeding practices, from baseline to 12-month follow-up, among 200 child-parent dyads. It is hypothesized that children in the experimental group will demonstrate larger BMI-z score improvements between baseline and 12-month follow-up compared to children in the comparison group.
The Mobile-based intervention intended to stop obesity in preschoolers (MINISTOP) program has been developed to be a comprehensive digital support program for all children irrespective of weight status. However, a one size fits all approach may not be sufficient as some families may require extra support through in-person activities to achieve the required lifestyle behaviour change in order to attain and maintain a healthy weight. Therefore, the aims of this pilot randomized controlled trial are to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of the MINISTOP Plus Program in pre-school children with overweight and obesity on: (i) children's BMI z-scores; (ii) intake of fruit and vegetables, sweet and savoury snacks, and sweet drinks; (iii) time spent in different physical activity intensities; (iv) screen time; and (v) parental self-efficacy.
NuRISH is a suite of clinical trials for children from low-income families which will determine whether primary healthcare prescription for: 1) Optimal breastfeeding with support from a mobile lactation consultant vs. usual care and 2) High-quality childcare starting at 1 year vs. usual care can prevent childhood obesity, and improve cardiovascular, developmental and mental health at 2 years of age.
The primary aim of the present study is to record changes in the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children/adolescents participating in the multi-professional group programme 'kinderleicht' in 2022 over the course of the eleven-month active phase. In addition, these data will be examined for correlation with changes in BMI, waist and hip circumference, and motor performance. Secondarily, the study addresses the questions of whether the recording of HROoL by means of the KINDL questionnaire is practicable for the programme leaders and what benefit can be gained from the analysed data for future cohorts.

For obese and normal-weight children, the investigators assess the diagnostic performance of attenuation imaging (ATI) in the detection of hepatic steatosis in children.
The objective of this study is to estimate the proportion of the recurrent deletion Δ6-8 of the LEPR gene in the homozygous and heterozygous state in pediatric cases with severe and early ( before the age of 6) obesity (BMI ≥ IOTF-30) on Reunion Island.
