Summary

Childhood obesity has been associated with an increased risk of impaired psychosocial well-being and the development of depression and anxiety. However, little is known about the long-term psychosocial impact on children with obesity who decided not to participate in lifestyle interventions, representing a critical gap in literature.

This study includes approximately 400 children with obesity aged 5-10 years living in Aarhus municipality in the time-period 2014-2020, who either decided not to participate in a lifestyle intervention, were not invited to participate or attended the intervention. During that period the children annually completed the Danish National 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 of this study is to investigate the long-term impact on psychosocial well-being for children with obesity deciding not to participate in a family-centered lifestyle intervention compared to children who attended the intervention, and to children never invited to participate in the intervention. 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.
