In an earlier report, we showed that a 2-week, residential summer camp (Kamp K'aana) led to improved body weight, body mass index, body mass index z score, and self-esteem among obese children. To assess whether improvements in body weight and self-esteem translate into improvement in body fat and weight-related quality of life, we measured the changes in body fat by bioimpedance and quality of life by Impact of Weight on Quality of Life instrument on 42 multiethnic obese children who took part in our Kamp K'aana program. Significant reduction in body fat was detected with significant improvements in the weight-related quality of life scores.
在之前的一份报告中，我们表明为期两周的住宿夏令营（Kamp K'aana）可以改善肥胖儿童的体重、体重指数、体重指数 z 分数和自尊心。为了评估体重和自尊心的改善是否转化为体脂和与体重相关的生活质量的改善，我们使用生物阻抗法测量了 42 名参加我们的 Kamp K'aana 项目的多种族肥胖儿童的体脂变化，并使用体重对生活质量的影响量表测量了生活质量的变化。结果显示体脂显著减少，与体重相关的生活质量评分显著提高。
