Childhood Obesity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Early Life Intervention in Pediatrics Supported by E-health (ELIPSE I): Coaching Parents to Lower Obesity in Children. A Single-blind Randomized Controlled Parallel-group Clinical Trial.
Childhood obesity in early life contributes to the development of specific NCDs, i.e. adult obesity. Unhealthy diet and low level of physical activity are lifestyle risk behaviors associated with chronic, systemic inflammation, which promotes the pathogenesis of NCDs. Early preventive measures to improve lifestyle behavior are of utmost importance. The aim of ELIPSE-I is to assess whether an eHealth application intervention for parents is feasible and efficacious in lowering total energy intake/total energy expenditure (TEI/TEE) ratio in their children with BMI >97 centile (ELIPSE-I).
ELIPSE-I represents a single-blind randomized controlled parallel-group clinical trial. In ELIPSE-I, 148 children, matched for sex, 6-12 years of age with a BMI >97 centile based on national growth charts will be included. Children will be recruited at the children's university hospital and randomly (1:1) assigned to a control and intervention group. All participants receive treatment-as-usual (TAU), parents of participants in the intervention group additionally receive a smartphone application (lifestyle app) for 20 weeks. The app aims to promote healthy behavior through cognitive-behavioral impact factors (i.e., psychoeducation, goal setting), that are applied by a psychologist via structured feedback. Single-blinded assessments will be conducted at baseline, following the intervention period of 20 weeks, and at 6-month follow-up after the end of the intervention. The primary endpoint is reduction of the TEI/TEE ratio in children with obesity. Secondary endpoints in ELIPSE-I include lowering the severity of obesity, cardiometabolic risk factor improvement, reduction in chronic low-level inflammatory biomarkers, and improved children's quality of life. A further endpoint is acceptance and usability of the app. ;
