Brief Summary

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

Considering the high prevalence of childhood obesity worldwide, effective interventions are needed . Parental involvement in interventions and the use of web-based modalities appear to be promising approaches. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of an innovative family and Web-based nutrition intervention called "Family Nutriathlon" on consumption of vegetables and fruit and dairy products and/or alternatives and on diet quality among children and their parents.

Detailed Description

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

Forty-three families, with at least one child with a BMI \>85th percentile, participated in either the intervention (n=24) or control group (n=19) over an 8-week period. Families in the intervention (Family Nutriathlon) will participated in a nutrition challenge that aimed to increase their consumption and variety of fruits and vegetables and dairy products by recording their daily intakes using a Web-based platform. Families in the control group received recommendations based on general nutrition guidelines. Three follow-ups with a dietitian once every two weeks via Skype to assess progress were scheduled. A three-day food record was completed at baseline (week 0), immediately after (week 8) and 6 months after the intervention. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance was used to assess changes in consumption of fruits and vegetables and dairy products, diet quality and dietary intakes between groups and over time.
