Kokkvoll AS, et al. - One year after children completed individual family or group-based weight management interventions, researchers reviewed changes in weight and cardiometabolic risk. In 2009-2010, Finnmark and Troms (Norway) recruited 6-12-year-old children with overweight or obesity after media coverage and randomized to 24 months of individual family intervention (n=49) or group intervention (n=48). According to this randomised trial, children's BMI increased by 3.0 kg/m² in the individual family from baseline to 36 months and 2.1 kg/m² in group intervention. Pooled data from both treatment groups exhibited a continued reduction in BMI standard deviation score. Twelve months after the intervention, no difference in BMI between groups was noted. Both groups combined demonstrated a sustained reduction in BMI standard deviation score.
