An obesity preventive intervention program for preschool families, Healthy Balance, was tested in 2 sequential pilot trials. The first pilot tested the original and translated group intervention in a heterogeneous population (65 families), and the second tested the feasibility of a culturally adapted version for Latinx immigrant families (27 families). No significant study 1 intervention effects were found. However, in study 2, there were significant improvements in parent body mass index, neck circumference, and blood pressure. These studies suggest that targeting family system change and tailoring the intervention for Latinx immigrant populations is feasible and has the potential to improve obesity-related biomarkers.
一项针对学龄前家庭的肥胖预防干预计划——健康平衡（Healthy Balance），在两项连续的试点研究中进行了测试。第一项试点研究在异质人群（65 个家庭）中测试了原始和翻译后的团体干预措施，第二项研究则测试了针对拉丁裔移民家庭的文化适应性版本的可行性（27 个家庭）。研究 1 未发现显著的干预效果。然而，在研究 2 中，家长的体重指数、颈围和血压均有显著改善。这些研究表明，针对家庭系统变化并为拉丁裔移民群体量身定制干预措施是可行的，并有潜力改善与肥胖相关的生物标志物。
