The purpose of this study is to develop, implement and evaluate an intervention focused to change feeding practices and patterns of physical activity of preschool children through providing motivational counseling to the mother. The aim is to prevent obesity in children aged 2 to 4 years 11 months with risk of overweight or with overweight.
Obesity has a multi-causal origin in which participate, in a similar way, the individual behavior and family and community contexts and the social environment.
Participation of primary care services is key to solve the problem. These services have the possibility to detect timely children with high body mass index, and to promote behavior to improve feeding practices and physical activity in both, the child and his family.
The study is divided in two stages:
The evaluation of the study comprise feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and its effect in the behavior of the mothers in terms of changing feeding practices and practicing physical exercise.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eating and physical activity counseling | Experimental | Participants randomized to intervention received a 6 week curriculum focused on obesity awareness and prevention. A trained nutritionist led diet, healthy growth and physical activity workshops, while a health educator led workshops on instilling healthy habits and routines in childhood. The nurse provided child care and developed relevant games and activities for children while parents attended the workshops. |
|
| Usual care | No Intervention | According to the existing clinical practice guide within IMSS, obese children may be referred to a nutritionist if the physician considers it necessary, given general dietary advice by the attending physician, or, if necessary, sent for laboratory analyses of blood lipids and glucose. We gave the parents the height and weight results from the measurement of their child and recommended they share results with their physician in their next medical consultation. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eating and physical activity counseling | Behavioral | The parents of overweight children will be invited to attend a total of 6 group sessions (the group will be comprised of 6 children with their parents) on a weekly basis, in which 5 aspects will be dealt with 1) Dietary culture, risk-benefit practices, 2) The process of feeding (acquisition/preparation/service Eating behaviors), 3) Physical activity habits, 4) Importance of weighing/measuring oneself and its meaning, 5) feedback and evaluations. These aspects and contents will be distributed throughout the 6 sessions. There will be two more individual session, at 3 and 6 months respectively, for the reinforcement of recommendations provided for the modification of dietary behaviors and physical activity. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Children´s Consumption of Foods From Baseline to 3 Months by Intervention Assignment | We asked parents about the average number of servings in the week or month the child consumed each food. We constructed grouped diet variables corresponding to food categories : sweet snacks (sugar-sweetened dairy, sugary cereal, cookies, sweet bread, cake, packaged pastries ], caramel pops, candies and chocolates); fast food (hamburgers, pizza, hot dogs, quesadillas, fried tacos, French fries); savory snacks (packaged snack foods, corn or potato chips); fruit (orange, mango, papaya, watermelon, grapes, apple, banana); vegetables (chard, broccoli, jitomate [tomato], nopales [cactus], chayote [squash], spinach, lettuce, zucchini, carrot); sugar-sweetened beverages (soda, flavored milk, homemade [agua fresca] and packaged fruit drinks); and added sugar in beverages (teaspoons sugar or sweet flavoring added to milk, coffee, tea, or fruit juice). | 0, 3 months |
| Change in Children´s Time of Physical Activity From Baseline to 3 Months by Intervention Assignment | Staff assisted parents in reporting the average time the participating child spent in pre-specified active and sedentary activities during the week and on weekends. For each of the pre-specified activities parents reported time spent in open-ended response format. From these responses we derived total hours/week of physical activity composed of active play (e.g. running, jumping, walking, playing ball, playing in the park, biking, swimming, dancing), as well as total hours/week of screen time, composed of television, DVD/video, and video and computer games. | 0, 3 months |
| Change in Score z of Body Mass Index From Baseline to 3 Months by Intervention Assignment | In order to calculate children's BMI and age and sex specific BMI z-scores at baseline and 3 month follow-up, study staff assessed child's height in meters and weight in kilograms. BMI was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. | 0, 3 month |

Of the 3095 (Ix n=2111; UC n=984) children initially screened, 1406 (Ix n=984; UC n=422) were eligible to participate and 306 (Ix n=168; UC n=138) agreed to participate. Of these 306, 189 (Ix n=93; UC n=96 control) participated in both the 3 and 6 month follow-up.
Study staff screened 3095 children from March, 2012 to October, 2012 in Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) clinics (Intervention (Ix) n=2111; Usual Care (UC) n=984). Staff approached parents and caregivers in the waiting rooms of clinics, weighed and measured children and parents completed a baseline questionnaire to determine eligibility.

35% of families did not complete follow-up at 3 months, our primary endpoint. To address the resulting bias from missing data we performed multiple imputation of missing information on covariates and behavioral and BMI outcomes.

| In intent-to-treat analyses, we used unadjusted and adjusted multivariate regression models, to examine differences from baseline to 3 months between the intervention and usual care groups. For continuous outcomes, we used linear regression models, and for dichotomous outcomes, we used logistic regression models. To account for clustering by practices, we performed generalized linear mixed models.
