Summary

Early life interventions for childhood obesity may provide substantial benefits. Most existing studies aimed at school children have reported limited effectiveness, however few have targeted preschool children. This study aimed to pilot procedures for a multifaceted, culturally appropriate intervention for preschool children and to provide a preliminary assessment of effectiveness of the intervention.

The program included three major components. The first component consists of live lectures to kindergarten staff about basic nutrition and food concepts that attempted to correct false beliefs. The second component was a health curriculum for children that focused on promoting healthy nutrition habits and a healthy living style. Preschools were required to ensure that children received a health education lesson every two weeks. The third component was aimed at educating parents and consisted of lectures every two months, preschool-home communication every week and child growth monitoring every three months.
