Bimbingamba Zerosix Third Phase: Studying Communities

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Childhood obesity is increasing in the last years especially in developed countries, and, as well as adult obesity, is related to the development of pathologies. Unfortunately, the restoration of a normal weight condition, if the ponderal excess rose in the first years of life, seems very difficult. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a paucity of evidence demonstrating effective interventions in reducing weight over time. The observation that in developed countries childhood obesity appears with evident social and geographical gradients justifies the implementation of inter-sectoral interventions of primary prevention, to be declined at the contextual level: family and community. Nowadays, there are numerous interventions for the promotion of lifestyle in pediatric age, in particular, those aimed at primary school and adolescence. On the other hand, few interventions were directed at the 0-7 age group. Therefore, this community intervention trial involved the pediatric population (aged 0-7 years) and their families, and it is aimed at the prevention of obesity and the restoring normal weight through community interventions aimed at improving lifestyles and with them the bio-metric parameters, health and well-being outcomes and soft skills in the population aged 0-7 years. The target population is children aged 0-7 years resident in the two municipalities (Mondovì and Savigliano), respectively selected as Intervention and Control Common. Totally, to conduct this study 2000 children, of both sex, will be enrolled (near 1000 for each of the two Municipalities).
