Description
Tonje Holte Stea and three co-authors ran in 2023 a six-month family program for Norwegian children with overweight across twelve Healthy Life Centers. The trial enrolled 137 children aged six to twelve and their parents, without randomization. Families in the program got personal counseling, nutrition courses and activity groups. Parents reported food habits, and nurses measured height and weight.
Children in the program ate evening meals more often and kept fewer salty snacks at home. They drank more water and took in less energy, sugar and saturated fat. Their standardized body mass scores fell, and the drop tied directly to lower energy and carbohydrate intake after treatment. Age and sex worked through diet as well. The authors back such tailored programs inside local primary care. They present family habits as the lever that moves weight.
