Background summary
Obesity is becoming an extensive problem all around the world.
The prevalence of obesity and the adverse health outcome associated with
obesity are increasing rapidly in adults, but also in children. Because of
this, it is important to find the right intervention method to reduce the
prevalence of obesity.
This program is made to prevent children to develop obesity and to teach them a
healthy lifestyle immediately.
Study objective
The overall aim of Early Obesity Intervention Program is to evaluate the effect
of a multidisciplinary intervention program during 15 months for preventing
developing obesity in young babies.
Study design
The program will be focused on healthy dietary intake, promoting and
increasing physical activity and the interaction between children and parents.
Every three months a group (10 children with each parent) session will be
given. In this session the parent(s) will get information and advice of the
different disciplines. All these advices will be in line with the regular
advices given at the Children*s Health Clinic, only more explored in depth.
Evaluation will be done, by comparing the Body Mass Index (BMI) and the
Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) score between the children who got the
Intervention Program and a control group, who did not get this unique
intervention program.
Intervention
Advices on healthy dietary intake, promoting and increasing physical activity
and the interaction between children and parents
