ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The greatest increase in childhood obesity prevalence occurs from preschool to school-age (SA). Evidence supports a family-centered approach to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors and weight management among SA children. The purpose of this study was to establish a healthy weight management support group in a pediatric patient-centered medical home.METHODS:
Overweight or obese SA children and their parent participated in four biweekly support meetings consisting of an educational presentation, group exercise, and a healthy snack. Sessions included education about nutrition, exercise, emotions, and health. Anthropometrics, the Healthy Habits screening tool, and Daily Logs, including step counts, were utilized to track outcomes.RESULTS:
There was a significant improvement in fruit and vegetable intake and dining out (p = <.05), and a clinical improvement in physical activity and sugar sweetened beverage intake.DISCUSSION:
Setting Kids Up For Success provides a framework for patient-centered medical home's to provide a healthy lifestyle support group for SA children and their families.Palavras-chave
