About this study

Official title: Treatment of Overweight and Obese Children - the "Holbaek-Method" in a Municipality Based Treatment Program.

In the present study the effect of a community-based treatment of overweight and obese children is analyzed. The treatment-method is based on the principals and the method used in the Children Obesity Clinic in the Pediatric department i Holbaek. The effect is evaluated by the change in body mass index standard deviation score, change in blood pressure standard deviation score, quality of life and concentration of fasting blood lipids and glucose during one year of treatment.

Read the detailed description

In the present study the effect of a community-based treatment of overweight and obese children is analyzed. The treatment-method is based on the principals and the method used in the Children Obesity Clinic in the Pediatric department i Holbaek and the care providers in each of the eight municipalities included are thought thoroughly to use this method.

The treatment effect is evaluated after one year, and the effect is assessed by the change in body mass index standard deviation score, change in blood pressure standard deviation score, quality of life (PedsQL), body composition and concentration of fasting blood lipids and glucose.
