RESUMO
Long-term effects of Kamp K'aana, a 2-week residential weight management camp, on body mass index (BMI) measures were evaluated on 71 of 108 (66%) obese youth 10 to 14 years of age. Measures were obtained at 11-month study follow-up (nâ=â38) or extracted from medical record (nâ=â33). Compared with baseline, BMI increased (Pâ<â0.001), but both BMI percentile and BMI z score decreased (98.7â±â1.0 to 97.3â±â6.7 and 2.34â±â0.30 to 2.23â±â0.34, Pâ<â0.001). A decrease in BMI z score of ≥0.2 units was seen in 27% of the participants (Pâ<â0.001). The short program has sustained effect.
