Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The epidemic of pediatric obesity has become a public health burden in both developed and developing countries, due to its serious health consequences, including an increased risk of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and heart disease. Currently, dietary and exercise changes are still the center of preventive and treatment measures of obesity. Recently, the omega-3 group, one of the groups of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), has been associated with many positive effects leading to the improvement of many diseases related to obesity. Nevertheless, the consumption of this essential nutrient requires certain ration to optimize its favorable result. Although previous studies have examined the efficacy of dietary counseling approach as treatment for obesity, none of them as explicitly explore the use of linear programming to create a tailored diet containing high omega-3 fatty acid food as a part of dietary counseling in obesity management program among children. Thus, this study is intended to contribute the clinical evidence regarding this area of knowledge, specifically the effects of enhanced counseling containing complementary feeding recommendation on nutritional status, omega-3 fatty acid, malondialdehyde, and alpha Tocopherol among children with risk of overweight aged 12 -23 months in East Jakarta.

Randomized-Controlled-Trial with two arms of intervention:

1. Control group: receive standard counseling with general existing menu recommendation
2. Intervention group: receive enhanced counseling (additional information on omega-3 fatty acids) with population-based menu ganerated from linear programming (LP)

There is a protocol on stratified block randomization. 2 blocks, stratified by: area, age, BMI-for-age status.

Enhanced Counseling using CFR based on LP

The counseling will be done by individual face-to-face communications. The intervention's arm will get a counseling with an additional of 7-day cycle with adequate n-3 and optimal n-3/6 ratio for complementary feeding menu obtained from linear programming formulation.

The counseling consisted of nutritional status in children aged 12-23 months and how to determine the nutritional status; the principle of balanced diet; definition, function, and source of omega-3; example of menu that contains adequate omega-3. The duration of counseling is approximately 30 minutes, once a week for ten weeks. The mother or caregiver will also receive daily menu for seven days that should be followed during the intervention. The daily menu comprised of 3 main meals and 2 snacks.
