Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of step goals with pedometers to improve children's weight loss, physical activity, and psychosocial health during behavioral treatment. Children with overweight or obesity were assigned to receive the behavioral treatment alone, plus pedometers, or plus pedometers with step goals.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A total of 105 overweight and obese children ages 8 to 17 years participated in a 10-week family-based weight management intervention focusing on physical activity, nutrition, and behavioral modification. A quasi-experimental design was used to group cohorts into three conditions: two cohorts had no pedometer (n=24); two cohorts had pedometer only (n=25); and four cohorts had pedometer with step goals (i.e. 500 steps/day weekly increase above baseline; n=56). Height and weight were measured at baseline and week 10 and used to calculate body mass index (BMI). Analysis of covariance was performed to examine difference by condition for change in weight, BMI, and BMI z-score, controlling for age and baseline value. Differences in steps/day and psychosocial health were compared between the two pedometer conditions.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

No Pedometer

Participants only participated in the family-based weight management intervention. Participants were not given a pedometer or step goals.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Family-based weight management

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The "Our Lifestyles, Our Lives" family-based weight management intervention consisted of 10 weekly 90-minute group sessions focused on physical activity, nutrition, and behavioral modification. Parents and siblings were encouraged to join the participant in these sessions. Sessions were interactive and included cooking demonstrations, light to moderate intensity physical activity that engaged all family members, and behavioral counseling sessions in both mixed (parent and child) and parent-only format.

Pedometer Only

In addition to participating in the family-based weight management intervention, participants were given a pedometer and instructions at session 1. Participants were asked to wear the pedometer every day for the entirety of the program and return at session 10. No step goals were provided.

Pedometer

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In addition to participating in the family-based weight management intervention, participants were given a pedometer (Omron HJ-324U, Omron Healthcare, Lake Forest, IL) and instructions at session 1. Participants were asked to wear the pedometer every day for the entirety of the program and return at session 10.

Pedometer Plus Step Goals

In addition to participating in the family-based weight management intervention, participants were given a pedometer and instructions at session 1. Participants were asked to wear the pedometer every day for the entirety of the program and return at session 10. Participants were given individualized step goals to increase their activity by 500 steps each week (above baseline calculated as average daily steps/day during week 1).
