- aggregation title "Do childhood obesity prevention interventions work in low- and middle-income countries?".
- aggregation abstract "The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing rapidly in low- and middle-income countries and informed policies to tackle the problem must be defined. We systematically reviewed the evidence on the effectiveness of school-based primary obesity prevention interventions in children and adolescents of 6 to 18 years targeting dietary behavior and/or physical activity in low- and middle-income countries. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CENTRAL, ERIC, The Cochrane Library and CRD databases for peer-reviewed controlled studies published in English, Spanish, French, German or Dutch between January 1990 and July 2011. From a total of 7,218 unique references we retained 22 studies for which quality was appraised independently by two authors using the Effective Public Health Practice Project tool. The majority of the interventions (82%) had a positive effect on dietary behavior and physical activity behavior (effect size ranged from -0.48 to 1.61). BMI decreased in 8 studies (effect size ranged from -0.7 to 0.0). We conclude that school-based interventions have the potential to improve dietary and physical activity behavior and to prevent unhealthy weights in low- and middle-income countries. The most effective interventions are multi-component in nature and are integrated in the school curriculum. In order to reach their full potential, however, interventions should conduct process evaluations to document program implementation. The impact and the pathways through which the interventions have this impact need to be better documented through rigorous evaluation studies.".
