“…Six studies [50,51,55,56,59,67] used all three components in family-based interventions and two studies [57,67] from school-based interventions used all three components. One study [58] from the family-based intervention group and two family-based intervention studies [52,60] utilised physical activity and diet as a components of the intervention.…”

BackgroundThe prevalence of childhood obesity, which has seen a rapid increase over the last decade, is now considered a major public health problem. Current treatment options are based on the two important frameworks of school- and family-based interventions; however, most research has yet to compare the two frameworks in the treatment of childhood obesity.The objective of this review is to compare the effectiveness of school-based intervention with family-based intervention in the treatment of childhood obesity.MethodsDatabases such as Medline, Pub med, CINAHL, and Science Direct were used to execute the search for primary research papers according to inclusion criteria. The review included a randomised controlled trial and quasi-randomised controlled trials based on family- and school-based intervention frameworks on the treatment of childhood obesity.ResultsThe review identified 1231 articles of which 13 met the criteria. Out of the thirteen studies, eight were family-based interventions (n = 8) and five were school-based interventions (n = 5) with total participants (n = 2067). The participants were aged between 6 and 17 with the study duration ranging between one month and three years. Family-based interventions demonstrated effectiveness for children under the age of twelve and school-based intervention was most effective for those aged between 12 and 17 with differences for both long-term and short-term results.ConclusionsThe evidence shows that family- and school-based interventions have a considerable effect on treating childhood obesity. However, the effectiveness of the interventional frameworks depends on factors such as age, short- or long-term outcome, and methodological quality of the trials. Further research studies are required to determine the effectiveness of family- and school-based interventions using primary outcomes such as weight, BMI, percentage overweight and waist circumference in addition to the aforementioned factors.

“…Numerous potential advantages of the programme were stated, ranging from a reduction in health‐care costs for the organization to a reduction in stress and healthier lifestyles for the employees themselves. This has been supported by studies published elsewhere 3,26–31 . In terms of improving lifestyles, both single‐risk factor intervention and multiple‐risk factor intervention studies have been reported 32–36 .…”

INTRODUCTIONThis study aims to present an interdisciplinary intervention in a group of overweight/obese adolescents. The lifestyle and cardiovascular risk modification (MERC) program seeks the modification and maintenance of lifestyle through the inclusion of regular physical activity and healthy eating, using a motivational interdisciplinary protocol based on the transtheoretical model of change. An overview of the scientific literature that guided the development of this research follows. Overweight/obesityObesity worldwide has more than doubled between 1980 and 2014. In 2014, over 1.9 billion adults, aged 18 years ABSTRACT Background: Obesity worldwide has more than doubled between 1980 and 2014, and this number has grown substantially in adolescents. An increase in this number can be prevented with the modification of lifestyle, healthy food choices and regular physical activity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a motivational interdisciplinary intervention based on the transtheoretical model of change for lifestyle modification in overweight/obese adolescents. Methods: A randomized, single-blind clinical trial with a control group, which aims to recruit 120 overweight/obese adolescents aged between 15-18 years (BMI ≥ 85th percentile). The sample will be selected through announcements in print media, social networks, television and radio. Groups will meet weekly over three months. The control group will receive a traditional health education intervention using pedagogy of transmission. The experimental group will receive a group-based motivational interdisciplinary intervention using a motivational interdisciplinary protocol based on the transtheoretical model of change. Conclusions:The results of this randomized clinical trial will determine if the motivational interdisciplinary intervention based on the transtheoretical model of change has an impact on lifestyle modification of the overweight/obese adolescents. If successful, the MERC program has the potential for application in different treatment scenarios, including that of the public health system.
