Family-based group treatment versus individual treatment in the management of childhood obesity: randomized, prospective clinical trial

Abstract

These findings demonstrate that the group treatment is more successful than the individual treatment in the management of childhood obesity.

Systematic review to identify and appraise outcome measures used to evaluate childhood obesity treatment interventions (CoOR): evidence of purpose, application, validity, reliability and sensitivity

“…Criterion validity was evaluated in 10 diet dairy papers, with many reporting significant effects of weight, BMI or other measures of adiposity on validity. 55,[57][58][59][60][61][62][63] The only paper that reported no misreporting by body weight was O'Conner et al 64 in their study of 45 children. This paper 64 reports low relative bias [mean difference, energy intake (EI) -total energy expenditure (TEE) = at 118 kJ/day] but with wide LOA (bias plus or minus two standard deviations of the difference) at 118 ± 3345 kJ/day.…”

“…[56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] Of these, one 56 tested inter-rater reliability using a tape-recorded method, with correlations ranging between 0.68 and 0.96. None of the papers assessed TRT reliability.…”

Nurse practitioner use of a family centered care approach to manage childhood obesity in the primary health care setting

“…Their definition of family behavioral treatment does not indicate that any of the key principles of FCC were considered or practiced during interactions with families . These findings are significant as modest weight loss has been associated with significant health improvement and a reduction in overall risk of morbidity and mortality in obese children (Garipagaoglu, Sahip, Darendeliler, Akdikmen, & Kopuz, 2008). Young et al (2007) also demonstrated that weight loss achieved using family based management strategies is achievable and can be maintained short term.…”

“…This is important as it provides evidence that children presenting with non modifiable risk factors can successfully lose weight, decrease their risk of morbidity and mortality and maintain their weight loss over time. Garipagaoglu et al (2008) published a study to assess the short and long term effects of a three month family based group treatment in the management of childhood obesity versus individual treatment. It involved 80 obese children between 6 and 14 years.…”
