Summary

Interventions that encompass behavioral modifications of dietary intake and physical activity dietary management are essential for the management of obese children. This study assessed the effectiveness of a stage-based lifestyle modification intervention for obese children. A total of 50 obese children (7-11 years) were randomized to intervention (n=25) or control (n=25) group. Data were collected at baseline, at follow-up (every month) and at six-month post-intervention. The intervention group (IG) received stage-based lifestyle modification intervention based on Nutrition Practice Guideline for the Management of Childhood Obesity, while the control group (CG) received standard treatment. Changes in body composition, physical activity, and dietary intake were examined in both intervention and control groups.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Stage-based Lifestyle Modification Intervention for the Management of Childhood Obesity

The participants will receive treatment based on nutrition clinical practice guideline for the management of childhood obesity. Participants in IG will be received a nutrition clinical practice guideline for the management of childhood obesity that comprised several activities, including nutrition counselling, aerobic sessions, a hands-on activity (healthy food preparation) and 'Sharing is Caring'. The Nutrition Practice Guideline for the Management of Childhood Obesity that comprised recommendations for assessment of nutritional status, determination of energy requirement, dietary prescriptions and physical activity modifications will be used. Participants' SOC for dietary and physical activity behaviors will be determined before any information was given to ensure that the selected educational topic will be tailored to the participant's current SOC.

BEHAVIORAL

Existing practice for the management of childhood obesity

The participants will receive treatment based on the existing practice for the management of childhood obesity. Only nutritional counseling will be received by CG and standard treatment based on current practices by most dietitians in Malaysia for weight management of obese children will be used.
