To determine the potential benefits of a residential summer camp to treat childhood obesity, 21 obese, multiethnic children (aged 11.4+/-1.4 years; body mass index [BMI] percentile 98.5+/-1.4; BMI z score 2.30+/-0.33) from a diverse socioeconomic background were enrolled in a 2-week summer camp program. Significant improvements (P<0.04) were observed in self-esteem (+0.27+/-0.33 point), body weight (-3.7+/-1.2 kg), BMI (-1.60+/-0.48 kg/m), BMI z score (-0.12+/-0.06), number of curl ups (+10.9+/-21.5), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (-10.8+/-13.4 and -9.4+/-5.5 mmHg, respectively), and heart rate (-8.2+/-12.7 bpm).
为了确定夏令营对治疗儿童肥胖症的潜在益处，从不同社会经济背景中招募了 21 名肥胖的、多民族的儿童（年龄 11.4+/-1.4 岁；体重指数 [BMI]百分位数 98.5+/-1.4；BMI z 分数 2.30+/-0.33）参加为期两周的夏令营计划。观察到自尊（+0.27+/-0.33 分）、体重（-3.7+/-1.2 公斤）、BMI（-1.60+/-0.48 公斤/米）、BMI z 分数（-0.12+/-0.06）、仰卧起坐次数（+10.9+/-21.5）、收缩压和舒张压（分别为-10.8+/-13.4 和-9.4+/-5.5mmHg）和心率（-8.2+/-12.7bpm）均有显著改善（P<0.04）。
