Impact of the I 2 AO 2 interdisciplinary program led by nursing on psychological comorbidity and quality of life: Randomized controlled clinical trial

Weight Loss and Improvement of Metabolic Alterations in Overweight and Obese Children Through the I2AO2 Family Program: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

“…The results of this clinical trial show that the I 2 AO 2 family program, which has previously been reported as effective in adult populations (Fernández-Ruiz, Armero-Barranco, et al, 2018, Fernández-Ruiz et al, 2018a, 2018b, is also effective for overweight or obese children and adolescents. This was confirmed by the different anthropometric, clinical, and Changes of the bicipital, triceps, supra-iliac, and subscapularis folds from the start of the intervention to the final control at 24 months follow-up.…”

“…This study was based on the I 2 AO 2 program, which has demonstrated particularly good efficacy in overweight and obese adults from the same geographical setting (Fernández-Ruiz, Armero-Barranco, et al, 2018), resulting in reduced cardiometabolic comorbidity (Fernández-Ruiz et al, 2018a) and improved eating habits and sedentary behavior, together with a positive impact upon quality of life (Fernández-Ruiz et al, 2018b, 2020). In this work, the participants were randomly assigned to two groups and the trial was conducted over one school year (i.e., 9 months from 1 September 2015 to 30 June 2016).…”

“…In terms of the role of environmental factors in the management of obesity, it is also important to consider the relevance of schools, given the many hours children spend there (Bagnall et al, 2019;Borde et al, 2017;Waters et al, 2017). Some recent, nurse-led multidisciplinary programs such as the Interdisciplinary Intervention Against Overweight and Obesity (I 2 AO 2 ) intervention have demonstrated the efficacy of addressing obesity and metabolic comorbidity in obese adults, resulting in weight loss and the modification of both eating and physical activity habits (Fernández-Ruiz et al, 2018b. This program is based on healthy eating education, physical exercise, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and poses no additional costs.…”

Effectiveness of the I2AO2 interdisciplinary programme led by nurses on metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk: a randomized, controlled trial

“…Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a multi-factorial, clinical condition related to, among others factors, lifestyle and nutritional habits, such as sedentariness and superfeeding. 1 The prevalence of MS ranges from 10% to 30% in Europe, and from 34% to 42% in the United States, increasing dramatically in older groups. 2 In the most recent population analysis conducted in Murcia, Spain, a prevalence of 53.5% for MS was found, which is higher than that recorded in Europe or in the United States.…”
