背景本研究探讨了以家庭为基础的儿童早期肥胖预防干预的可行性和可接受性，旨在使低收入的种族/民族多样化的父母修改他们的孩子的健康行为。方法.我们采用前瞻性设计，对50对父母-子女（2至5岁的儿童）进行前/后测试评估，以检查基线和4个月随访时儿童饮食，体力活动和久坐行为的潜在变化。结果在4个月随访时，39对（78%）亲子对完成了评价数据。儿童的蔬菜摄入量在随访时显著增加（4个月时为0.54杯，基线时为0.28杯，P = 0.001），果汁盎司在随访时减少（4个月时为11.9盎司，基线时为16.0盎司，P = 0.036）。久坐行为也有所改善。儿童在工作日看电视的时间显著减少（P < 0.01），周末看电视的时间也减少。此外，儿童卧室有电视机的家庭数量也减少（P < 0.0013）。结论.研究结果表明，以家庭为基础的儿童早期肥胖预防干预是可行的，可以接受的，并证明了对低收入种族/民族多样化儿童的饮食和久坐行为的短期影响。
Background. This study examined the feasibility and acceptability of a home-based early childhood obesity prevention intervention designed to empower low-income racially/ethnically diverse parents to modify their children's health behaviors. Methods. We used a prospective design with pre-/posttest evaluation of 50 parent-child pairs (children aged 2 to 5 years) to examine potential changes in dietary, physical activity, and sedentary behaviors among children at baseline and four-month follow-up. Results. 39 (78%) parent-child pairs completed evaluation data at 4-month follow-up. Vegetable intake among children significantly increased at follow-up (0.54 cups at 4 months compared to 0.28 cups at baseline, P = 0.001) and ounces of fruit juice decreased at follow-up (11.9 ounces at 4 months compared to 16.0 ounces at baseline, P = 0.036). Sedentary behaviors also improved. Children significantly decreased time spent watching TV on weekdays (P < 0.01) and also reduced weekend TV time. In addition, the number of homes with TV sets in the child's bedroom also decreased (P < 0.0013). Conclusions. The findings indicate that a home-based early childhood obesity prevention intervention is feasible, acceptable and demonstrates short-term effects on dietary and sedentary behaviors of low-income racially/ethnically diverse children.
