Two Innovative Programs in Weight Control Make More Than a Pound of Difference

In our quest to continue to share with you programs and interventions that successfully result in a reduction in weight and BMI over time, we share two more such programs with you this week. One led by Foster et al. (doi: 10.1542/peds.2012-0344) focuses on a scalable community-based pediatric obesity intervention that has some impressive and likely generalizable results. The other conducted by Quattrin et al. (doi: 10.1542/peds.2012-0701) was more family-based and demonstrated some strong results in BMI reduction in preschoolers. Both of these programs are feasible and may be worth considering for implementation in your practice or your community. Weigh in to both articles so your overweight patients can weigh less.Digg this
