低收入家庭的超重和肥胖儿童获得减肥计划的机会有限。应在这一人群中评估低成本方案。目前研究的目的是确定7至17岁参与者的体重变化，这是一项全国性的低成本减肥计划。这项非同期前瞻性研究分析了2008年至2011年加入TOPS并连续续签年度会员资格的超重和肥胖儿童和青少年的体重z评分的累积变化。该研究包括586人。1年时，累积平均（SD）体重z评分变化为-0.13（31）。一般而言，体重z评分的平均变化在随后几年中没有差异。更新其计划会员资格的儿童和青少年TOPS参与者的平均体重z分数在第一年显着下降。随机对照试验应前瞻性地评估儿童和青少年的这一计划。
Overweight and obese children in low-income households have limited access to weight loss programs. Low-cost programs should be evaluated in this population. The objective of the current study is to determine weight change among 7 to 17-year-old participants in Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS), a national, low-cost weight loss program. This nonconcurrent prospective study analyzes the cumulative change in weight z-score for overweight and obese children and adolescents who joined TOPS from 2008 to 2011 and consecutively renewed their annual membership. The study includes 586 individuals. At 1-year, cumulative mean (SD) weight z-score change was −0.13 (31). In general, mean change in weight z-scores was no different in subsequent years. Mean weight z-score of children and adolescent TOPS participants who renew their program membership decreased significantly in the first year. Randomized controlled trials should prospectively evaluate this program in children and adolescents.
