By Bhavana KunkalikarMay 3 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in the journal eClinicalMedicine, researchers explore the effectiveness of interventions in preventing obesity in children.
Being overweight or obese is associated with an increased risk of developing various health conditions, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Likewise, in children, being obese is also associated with various physical, mental health, and social outcomes. RCTs that recruited participants who were at an increased risk of obesity in comparison to the general population were included in the study. In addition, interventions with an underlying intention or rationale of preventing childhood obesity were also considered for the review.
Another search of electronic databases, including the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials , Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature , was performed by an information specialist to identify new records published after the latest search. The meta-analysis of 93 trials comparing school-based interventions to control cohorts showed a small positive impact on BMI, with a BMI score of 0.11 less for the intervention group than the control group. Furthermore, a meta-analysis of almost 13 trials that compared home-based interventions for childhood obesity prevention to controls did not have a significant impact on BMI.
Three school-based studies noted an increase in weight concern behaviors or unhealthy weight control, while one school, home-study, or after-school program each observed increased minor ankle sprains, peer weight talk, strained muscles/tendons and bruises, overexercising, depressive symptom score, or food consumption in the intervention group as compared to the control.
