Long-Term Effectiveness of a School- and Community-Based Intervention for the Prevention of Childhood Obesity in High-Risk Families Across Europe: The Feel4Diabetes Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of the Feel4Diabetes intervention in preventing childhood obesity among high-risk families in Europe. The study found that children from high-risk families who participated in the intervention showed a significant reduction in BMI z-scores compared to those in the control group, highlighting the intervention's potential in addressing obesity in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Additionally, various predictors of weight improvement were identified, emphasizing the need for equity-oriented approaches in obesity prevention.
