متن کاملFeasibility and Preliminary Outcomes of a Scalable, Community-based Treatment of Childhood Obesity
OBJECTIVE: Clinic-based treatments of childhood obesity are effective but typically have limited reach and are costly. In this study, we evaluated the effects of a scalable weight management program for children and teenagers. METHODS: Participants were 155 children and their parent/guardian. Children had a mean 6 SD age of 11.3 6 2.8 years, BMI z score of 2.23 6 0.41, and a percentage overweig...
