This is the Phase 2 pilot/feasibility randomized controlled trial of HALO (Health And Lifestyle Behaviors In Offspring), a parent-led behavioral intervention targeting a high-risk pediatric population (i.e., residing offspring ages 6-12; body mass index > the 70th and < 120% of the 95th percentiles of mothers with severe obesity) that is uniquely well-timed, when mothers are highly engaged in behavior change and losing weight during the first year following bariatric surgery.
The aim of the CArdioMetabolic Prevention (CAMP) pilot study is to investigate the effect of a group intervention on lifestyle in adolescents and on at least one adult family member. This will be followed by telemedicine tools for 12-week-time period. A face-to-face group intervention addressing nutrition, physical activity and well being together with an assessment of anthropometry parameters, body composition, questionnaires, blood and stool sampling will be done before and after 12 weeks of telemedicine. The study aims to investigate: - the effect of 12-week intervention on body weight, anthropometry parameters and cardiometabolic markers in comparison to the conventionally led obesity clinic for adolescents - the compliance with telemedicine tools that will focus on the support of balance nutrition, physical activity (evaluation of daily steps through smart bands) and family well being in regards to the effect on anthropometry and laboratory parameters - the effect of the intervention on data from questionnaires (eating disorders, quality of life, psychological health) before and after the intervention - data analysis of family members with respect to theirs offspring
Childhood obesity has been associated with increased risk of both continued excess body weight, development of non-communicable lifestyle diseases and impaired mental health. Approximately 800 children with obesity were treated with a municipality based family-centered lifestyle intervention in the time period 2010-2020. In the same time period, approximately 2000 children with obesity who did not receive any treatment have been identified. Our aim is to investigate the efficiency of the two interventions and compare those to children not receiving any treatment. We will use data from both the clinical visits at the municipality health care workers and data from Statistics Denmark.
In this study it is researched how preventive and curative healthcare for children with overweight and obesity was conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic, which barriers were noticed by professionals, and how new methods (such as e-health and telemonitorning) for coaching, communication and healthcare were used and experienced.
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19), is a communicable pandemic disease as stated by the world health organization (WHO), which has been affecting the world since December 2019. COVID-19 infected children develop the signs and symptoms of the disease, which can be exaggerated or life-threatening when associated with comorbidities like; obesity, sickle cell anemia, immune disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, chronic respiratory or cardiac problems, and congenital malformations.3 It is observed that children affected with COVID-19 who are physically inactive or in a sedentary lifestyle may induce and develop obesity. It is a major health concern in this pandemic situation, which can be addressed and treated with the use of appropriate physical training and proper dietary habits.
Hispanic men and children experience health disparities for overweight and obesity-related medical conditions, and therefore family level obesity prevention programs for Hispanic populations are needed. 'Healthy Dads Healthy Kids' is the first program to primarily target fathers for obesity prevention for themselves and their children, with significant and clinically relevant treatment effects. This is an efficacy trial to assess a culturally adapted 'Healthy Dads Healthy Kids' for Hispanic families.
The prevention of overweight and obesity in adolescents is a public health priority given the impact of obesity on both short- and long-term health. Scientific evidence has shown that interventions in diet and physical exercise can reduce the risk of obesity in children and young people since adolescence is an ideal stage for educating on a healthy lifestyle and correcting the habits that may have been acquired in childhood. Smartphone applications (apps) can provide a useful alternative to overweight and obesity prevention measures. The objective of this study was to evaluate, through a randomized controlled clinical trial, the effect of an intervention based on a mobile health application (m-Health) on improving the degree of sport and nutrition knowledge, eating habits, and level of physical activity of adolescents. The sample consists of 305 adolescents, 154 in the intervention group and 151 in the control group that are evaluated at the beginning and 6 months later regarding sociodemographic, eating habits, food knowledge, level of physical activity, body mass index, and waist circumference. The educational intervention was carried out using an m-Health tool, a mobile phone application. The outcomes were changes in the mentioned variables to a six-month follow-up between the two groups.
