Summary

Childhood obesity has been associated with an increased risk of impaired psychosocial well-being and the development of depression and anxiety.

This study includes approximately 200 children with obesity aged 5-10 treated within one of two multifactorial family-centered lifestyle intervention in the time-period 2014-2020. Additionally, this study includes 150 children with obesity in the same age group, who were never invited into the multifactorial family-centered lifestyle interventions. During that period the children annually completed the Danish Nation Well-being Questionnaire (DNWQ) in school. The DNWQ is a national questionnaire used to examine the well-being and learning environment in Danish schoolchildren.

The aim is to investigate the long-term impact on psychosocial well-being in children with obesity following participation in one of two multifactorial family-centered lifestyle interventions: a one-year and three-year intervention. Further, to compare this alteration in psychosocial well-being between the intervention groups and with a reference group of children who were never invited to participate in the interventions.

The study will combine data from mandatory health check-ups at school, the Danish National Registries, and the Danish agency for IT and Learning (STIL), The ministry of Education.
