Description
Namratha Atluri and co-authors ask whether a parent's diabetes program helps their children in a 2023 study. Parental habits shape children's behavior, and parent weight loss often tracks with child weight change. The team studied the National Diabetes Prevention Program, or DPP.
They followed 128 adults with prediabetes, 54 in the program and 74 not, covering 203 children aged 3 to 17. Claims data gave each child's age and BMI percentile over one year. There were no clear differences in BMI percentile change for heavier children between the two groups. The study still offers a rare look at spillover effects within families.
