Summary

The overall aim is to evaluate if a familybased intervention, targeting overweight and obese children and their parents, has a long-term positive effect on weight development and health of the children. The alternative hypothesis to the zero hypothesis is that the children with overweight and obesity who participate in a one-year intervention together with their parents, both at completion of the six months intervention and at long term follow up will have reduced their BMI-for-age z-score (Iso-BMI) and have adopted healthy habits. The behavioral models and educational strategies will be tailored (by age, gender etc.) and include both general information and practical learning sessions.
