Evaluate the effect of the Kids Living Fit hospital-based intervention on body mass index (BMI) percentile, adjusted for age (months) and gender in children ages 8-12 years with BMI percentiles > or = 85.
Twelve weekly exercise sessions and three nutrition presentations were held. Nurses recorded BMI and waist circumference at baseline, week 12, and week 24. Participants completed food and activity diaries.
Of the 32 participants enrolled, 16 completed all outcome measures and experienced a decrease in average BMI, BMI percentile, and waist circumference between baseline and weeks 12 and 24.
Hospitals can offer exercise and nutrition programs to decrease childhood obesity in their communities.

举办了为期十二周的锻炼课程以及三场营养讲座。护士在基线、第12周和第24周记录了BMI和腰围。参与者完成了饮食和活动日记。
在32名登记参与者中，16人完成了所有结局指标，并且在基线至第12周和第24周期间平均BMI、BMI百分位数和腰围均有所下降。
