BACKGROUND
Forty-three percent of New York City's (NYC) school-age children are overweight or obese, placing them at risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to determine if an intensive after-school dance and lifestyle education program would reduce risk factors for heart disease, T2DM, and improve lifestyle choices.
SUBJECTS
Subject include 64 fourth- and fifth-grade students at an elementary school in NYC.
METHODS
Students received freestyle dance and lifestyle classes for 16 weeks and were evaluated for changes in body composition, endurance, biochemical measurements, and lifestyle choices.
RESULTS
Significant improvements in BMI percentiles were found among children in the overweight and obese categories as well as in endurance and biochemical measurements that reflect heart disease and diabetes risk. Improvement was also reported in lifestyle choices.
CONCLUSION
An intensive after-school dance and lifestyle education program can reduce risk factors for heart disease and T2DM and improve lifestyle choices among elementary school children.
背景
纽约市43%的学龄儿童超重或肥胖，这使他们面临患心脏病和2型糖尿病（T2DM）的风险。
目的
本研究的目的是确定一项强化的课后舞蹈和生活方式教育计划是否能降低心脏病、2型糖尿病的风险因素，并改善生活方式选择。
对象
对象包括纽约市一所小学的64名四年级和五年级学生。
方法
学生接受了为期16周的自由式舞蹈和生活方式课程，并对身体成分、耐力、生化指标和生活方式选择的变化进行了评估。
结果
超重和肥胖类别的儿童在体重指数百分位数、反映心脏病和糖尿病风险的耐力及生化指标方面有显著改善。生活方式选择也有改善。
结论
一项强化的课后舞蹈和生活方式教育计划可以降低心脏病和2型糖尿病的风险因素，并改善小学生的生活方式选择。
