The results of a 4-week summer camp for childhood obesity were reported. Twenty-one children with moderate to severe obesity, aged between 8-13 years, joined the program. Dietary restriction during the official hours and dietary self-control at home were implemented throughout the program. Exercise, swimming and group therapy were also implemented throughout the program. Weekly sight-seeing outside the camp was very interesting for the participants. After the program, all participants had lost weight which was about 5 per cent of their initial weight. Most of the weight loss was due to loss of body fat but not lean body mass. No complications occurred during the program. The 4-week summer camp is then practical for initiating weight loss for obese children. Long-term follow-up which is underway will be reported later.
一份关于儿童肥胖症四周夏令营的结果报告出炉。21名年龄在8至13岁之间的中重度肥胖儿童参加了该项目。在整个项目期间，实行了官方时间的饮食限制和在家的饮食自我控制。整个项目期间还开展了运动、游泳和团体治疗。每周一次的营地外观光对参与者来说非常有趣。项目结束后，所有参与者都减轻了体重，减重幅度约为其初始体重的5%。大部分体重减轻是由于体脂减少而非去脂体重减少。项目期间未出现并发症。因此，为期四周的夏令营对于肥胖儿童启动减肥是切实可行的。正在进行的长期随访结果将随后报告。
