Long-term Assessment of Rhône RéPPOP Care for Overweight and Obese Children.

Long-term Assessment of Rhône RéPPOP Care for Overweight and Obese Children.

Childhood obesity is a major public health issue since it is a risk factor of adulthood obesity, cardiovascular disease, psychological disorders, and other chronic conditions.

RéPPOP is a two year personalized pathway for multidisciplinary care for overweight and obese children, close to patients' homes.

Short and medium-term assessments of Rhône RéPPOP care for overweight and obese children show encouraging results. Long-term assessment is needed to confirm these results.

The present study aims to assess the long-term efficiency of Rhône RéPPOP care for overweight and obese children by comparing BMI Z-scores at the start and the end of RéPPOP care to the current BMI. This data will be collected through a telephonic questionnaire by the scientific manager.

The study's secondary objectives are to evaluate patients and their families' lifestyle changes and to improve RéPPOP practices.

Inclusion Criteria:

- All overweight and obese children included in RéPPOP care programs from 01/01/07 to 31/12/10

Exclusion Criteria:

• Refusal to respond to the telephonic questionnaire
• Subjects who withdraw their consent to participate in the study
