“…This is similar to other studies (17)(18)(19)(20)(21). The drop down menu is a limitation in this study because the goal options for physical activity far exceeded the recommendations whereas goal options for fruit and vegetable intake provided a maximum that was equal to recommendations.…”

“…Studies by Sternfeld et al, Dishman et al, and Heneman et al used goal setting as one component of an intervention and found significant increases in fruit and vegetable consumption and/or physical activity level (17)(18)(19). On the other hand, studies by Thorndike et al and Latif et al did not find goal setting to be an effective intervention (20)(21). The research in these areas is even more limited for the young adult population.…”

“…Remarkably, the literature still lacks the multidisciplinary research that involves CBN and CBR given the fact that the relation between the two is still ambiguous despite many studies investigated the mediating variable analyses with process data on self-regulation (e.g., goal setting and problem and solving). However, those studies did not predict behavior [1,2].…”

An Analytical Reflection towards Understanding the Effect of Children's Behavioral Regulation (CBR) on Children's Behavioral Nutrition (CBN) Through Computer-based Edutainment Environments

Despite the massive body of research on the effect of media and entertainment on Children's Behavioral Regulation (CBR) and Children's Behavioral Nutrition CBN), especially through computer-based video games, the multidisciplinary research, up to date, still lacks a true understanding of the powerful effect of the communication between users, especially young children, and the content of the entertainment. Remarkably, the relation between CBR and CBN is not comprehensible yet (i.e., still ambiguous) despite many studies investigated the the CBN research came up with the fact that the research on the Innovative Intervention Programs (IIP) are still needed to overcome the limitations in previous programs, and, concluded that serious video games show promise of changing in children's behavior. In sum, the more deeply research is still needed on: (1) the optimal design of behavior-change procedures in video games, (2) the mechanisms that account for changes obtained, and (3) the groups in which these interventions work best. Such research will permit the optimal design of serious video games for children's better healthier behaviors in the future. On the other hand, creating the IIP in terms of CBR requires many various and different criteria! Thus, the present reflection paper was conducted to, analytically, clarifying the outlines of the current running new multidisciplinary project that mainly investigates the effect of CBR on CBN through computerbased edutainment environments.

Background Prevention of obesity in adolescents is an international public health priority. The prevalence of overweight and obesity is over 25% in North and South America, Australia, most of Europe, and the Gulf region. Interventions that aim to prevent obesity involve strategies that promote healthy diets or ‘activity’ levels (physical activity, sedentary behaviour and/or sleep) or both, and work by reducing energy intake and/or increasing energy expenditure, respectively. There is uncertainty over which approaches are more effective, and numerous new studies have been published over the last five years since the previous version of this Cochrane Review. Objectives To assess the effects of interventions that aim to prevent obesity in adolescents by modifying dietary intake or ‘activity’ levels, or a combination of both, on changes in BMI, zBMI score and serious adverse events. Search methods We used standard, extensive Cochrane search methods. The latest search date was February 2023. Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials in adolescents (mean age 12 years and above but less than 19 years), comparing diet or 'activity' interventions (or both) to prevent obesity with no intervention, usual care, or with another eligible intervention, in any setting. Studies had to measure outcomes at a minimum of 12 weeks post baseline. We excluded interventions designed primarily to improve sporting performance. Data collection and analysis We used standard Cochrane methods. Our outcomes were BMI, zBMI score and serious adverse events, assessed at short‐ (12 weeks to < 9 months from baseline), medium‐ (9 months to < 15 months) and long‐term (≥ 15 months) follow‐up. We used GRADE to assess the certainty of the evidence for each outcome. Main results This review includes 74 studies (83,407 participants); 54 studies (46,358 participants) were included in meta‐analyses. Sixty studies were based in high‐income countries. The main setting for intervention delivery was schools (57 studies), followed by home (nine studies), the community (five studies) and a primary care setting (three studies). Fifty‐one interventions were implemented for less than nine months; the shortest was conducted over one visit and the longest over 28 months. Sixty‐two studies declared non‐industry funding; five were funded in part by industry. Dietary interventions versus control The evidence is very uncertain about the effects of dietary interventions on body mass index (BMI) at short‐term follow‐up (mean difference (MD) ‐0.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) ‐0.41 to 0.06; 3 studies, 605 participants), medium‐term follow‐up (MD ‐0.65, 95% CI ‐1.18 to ‐0.11; 3 studies, 900 participants), and standardised BMI (zBMI) at long‐term follow‐up (MD ‐0.14, 95% CI ‐0.38 to 0.10; 2 studies, 1089 participants); all very low‐certainty evidence.
