FOLLOW-UP OF BEHAVIORAL CHILDHOOD OBESITY TREATMENT

拟议的研究旨在开发一个数据库，以确定 行为治疗效果的可靠性，并评估 不同处理方式和个体差异变量对心理健康的影响 肥胖治疗的五年结果和肥胖治疗后的生长发育。 五年内的治疗效果将被确定为五年 随机对照结果研究。将对预测变量进行测试 已被证明会影响疾病的发展和治疗 儿童肥胖与生长发育。体重的治疗变量包括 针对减肥、行为收缩和类型的家庭成员 锻炼身体。个别差异变量包括各种 个人和家庭变量，如治疗前的相对体重、年龄、 性别、治疗依从性、父母体重、社会经济地位和家庭规模。这个 身高的预测将包括这些处理和个体差异。 变量，以及父高度。数据库将涉及基线 以及在五年内为200多名儿童收集的结果数据 使用标准化的行为治疗程序进行治疗。 据预测，在接下来的几年里，体重将保持显著变化。 所有研究的观察期为五年。此外，它是 预计在最后五年会有相当大的差异 相对体重或生长可以通过个体的组合来预测 区别和治疗成分。在前人工作的基础上， 儿童初始体重、目标人群、父母体重、性别和遵从性 将有助于预测体重结果，以及儿童治疗前的身高和 父母的身高将预测生长。

The proposed study is designed to develop a database to determine the reliability of the effectiveness of behavioral treatments, and to assess influence of a variety of treatment and individual difference variables on five year outcome of obesity treatment and growth after obesity treatment. Treatment effects over a five year period will be established for five randomized controlled outcome studies. Predictor variables will be tested that have been shown to influence the development and treatment of childhood obesity and growth. Treatment variables for weight include the family member targeted for weight loss, behavioral contracting, and types of exercise. Individual difference variables include a variety of individual and family variables, such as pretreatment relative weight, age, sex, compliance to treatment, parent weight, SES, and family size. The prediction of height will include these treatment and individual difference variables, as well as parent height. The database will involve baseline and outcome data collected over a five year period for over 200 children treated using standardized behavioral treatment procedures. It is predicted that significant weight change will be maintained over the five year observation period across the studies. In addition, it is predicted that a substantial amount of the variance in final five year relative weight or growth can be predicted by a combination of individual difference and treatment components. On the basis of previous work, initial child weight, person targeted, parent weight, sex and compliance will serve to predict weight outcome, and child pretreatment height and parent height will predict growth.
