“…Even intensive, individually tailored, daily or twice-weekly nutrition or physical activity sessions generated only a 2.8-point decrease in BMI percentile in a school-based program of children in at least the 85th BMI percentile. 18 The nutrition classes to which all participants were assigned may have improved eating habits. Dietary factors that promote obesity include highcalorie beverages, energy-dense foods, and large portion sizes.…”

Background: Treatment studies about childhood obesity in primary care are lacking. We hypothesized that providing a paid family membership to the YMCA would be effective in reducing weight.Methods: Patients 5 to17 years old in at least the 85th body mass index (BMI) percentile were eligible. All participants were scheduled to attend 4 nutrition classes and to return for evaluation at 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months. Participants were randomized to nutrition classes only (n ‫؍‬ 39) or nutrition classes and family YMCA membership (n ‫؍‬ 44). The primary outcome measure was year change in BMI-for-age percentile.Results

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The effects of lifestyle interventions on cardio-metabolic outcomes in overweight children have not been reviewed systematically. The objective of the study was to examine the impact of lifestyle interventions incorporating a dietary component on both weight change and cardio-metabolic risks in overweight/obese children.METHODS: English-language articles from 1975 to 2010, available from 7 databases, were used as data sources. Two independent reviewers assessed articles against the following eligibility criteria: randomized controlled trial, participants overweight/obese and #18 years, comparing lifestyle interventions to no treatment/wait-list control, usual care, or written education materials. Study quality was critically appraised by 2 reviewers using established criteria; Review Manager 5.1 was used for meta-analyses. RESULTS:

“…The study findings indicate that the nutrition elements of such programs should be simple and easily integrated into lifestyle; physical activity components should focus on fun activities. 31 Some of the most promising studies in the management of childhood overweight were performed with homogenous samples. There are few data on the use of behavioral management in minorities, children from low-income families, or significantly overweight children.…”
