Summary

Childhood obesity is a major health concern and lifestyle intervention is recommended as the cornerstone in the weight loss treatment. However, only limited knowledge exists in relation to characterization and follow-up of children who decline participation in a lifestyle intervention. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term development in BMI z-score for children with obesity who decline to participate in a lifestyle intervention.

This study identified approximately 170 children with obesity who declined treatment in a community-based lifestyle intervention. The development in BMI z-score for these children will be compared to children enrolled in the lifestyle intervention (i.e. treatment) and children who were never invited.

Data from different sources will be used to answer the research question (intervention registries, health check-ups at school and Danish registries).
