拟议的研究旨在从以下方面提供持续的后续行动 肥胖症儿童及其父母的样本为5至10年 185个家庭接受了五项行为治疗 随机对照结果研究。完成的五年 随访显示两个孩子都有显著的治疗效果。 和父母在个人研究中。线性回归分析 显示儿童超重百分比在五年内的变化是 与儿童年龄、基线超重百分比、 治疗期间有针对性的行为，儿童超重百分比 五年的观察。父母超重百分比的变化 与基线父级超重百分比、工作分配 到运动组，并改变儿童超重的百分比。我们 将继续研究这些变量，以及 当前的孩子和父母环境可能会影响长期 孩子和父母超重的变化。这些变量包括 当前体重以及对饮食和锻炼行为的看法 对于参与者的生活、饮食和锻炼中的其他人 环境。另一个已经研究过的变量和 将继续研究的是孩子的身高。儿童身高变化 五年以上与性别、年龄和基线身高有关， 但超重百分比没有变化。十年后，我们将审查 这些变量以及父母身高对身高的影响 改变和年轻人的身高。

The proposed study is designed to provide continued follow-up from 5 to 10 years for a sample of obese children and their parents from 185 families treated using behavioral treatments across five randomized controlled outcome studies. The completed five year follow-ups showed significant treatment effects for both children and parents in individual studies. Linear regression analyses showed child percent overweight change over five years was associated with child age, baseline percent overweight, the behavior targeted during treatment, child percent overweight over the five years of observation. Parent change in percent overweight was associate with baseline parent percent overweight, assignment to exercise groups, and change in child percent overweight. We will continue to study these variables, as well as aspects of the current child and parent environment that may influence long term child and parent overweight change. These variables include the current weights and perceptions of eating and exercise behaviors for others in the participant's living, eating and exercise environments. An additional variable that has been studied and will continue to be studied is child height. Child height change over five years was associated with sex, age and baseline height, but not change in percent overweight. At ten years we will examine the influence of these variables as well as parent height on height change and young adult height.
