Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The main study parameter is children*s body composition, determined by BMI
z-score (calculated by weight, height, age and gender), waist circumference,
and fat mass (assessed by biceps and triceps skinfold and deuterium dilution).
Secondary outcome
Secondary study parameters are children*s lifestyle (snacking behaviour,
soft-drink consumption, fruit-and vegetable consumption and physical activity),
parental body composition (BMI, parental fat mass), parental physical activity
level, parenting self-efficacy and parenting style.
Background summary
Overweight and obesity are already prevalent in 4 to 8-year-old children.
Obesity-inducing behaviours in young children have been found to track
throughout the life span. Acknowledging the lack of effective interventions
aimed at preschool children, the current study aims at executing an
effectiveness study in which a lifestyle intervention aimed at the parents of 4
to 8-year-old children is tested.
Study objective
The main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention
(Lifestyle Triple P).
Study design
The design of the current study is a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)
Intervention
The lifestyle intervention, called Lifestyle Positive Parenting Program
(Lifestyle Triple P), is aimed at parents of overweight and obese children. The
intervention will take 14 weeks, consisting of eight weekly 120-minute parental
group training sessions, two individual telephone sessions, one parental group
training sessions, two individual telephone sessions and a final parental group
training session. Triple P is an evidence-based preventively oriented parenting
and family support strategy, based on social learning principles. Active skills
training methods are employed to help parents acquire new knowledge and skills.
The control condition receives three pamphlets (one about healthy nutrition,
one about physical activity, and one about positive parenting), a Time Machine
(an electronic screen time manager), and web-based tailored feeback about
providing a good example for your child regarding diet and physical activity .
Study burden and risks
The intervention which the parents of the children receive will take 14 weeks
and consists of ten parental group training sessions, and four individual
telephone sessions. Furthermore, the body composition of the children and
parents (i.e. length, weight, waist circumference, biceps and triceps
skinfolds) is measured, children and their parents are asked to wear an
Actigraph accelerometer for one week and parents are asked to fill out a
questionnaire at baseline, 14 weeks follow-up and 12 months follow-up.
Additionally, children*s fat mass is also estimated at baseline and 12 months
follow-up using deuterium, the gold standard. Participation in the current
study is voluntary and is without any risks.
