Study Summary
The number of youth with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is rising in the population, which is a concerning public health trend. There has been little research testing ways to prevent the development of this disease in children who are at increased risk to develop T2D. This study tests a family treatment program that treats 4-8 year old children who are at risk for T2D because they are overweight and have a family history of the disease. Sixty at risk children and their parents were assigned to one of 2 treatment conditions. Half of the families (randomly determined) received an intensive family treatment program that trains parents in how to increase healthier foods choices and physical activity for themselves and their children using "behavior modification" strategies. Children receiving this treatment were allowed to taste new fruits and vegetables used a pedometer to record how far they walked every day, and were given a "tool box" of toys and interactive games which promoted physical activity. The other half of the families only received instruction about healthier choices, but received no behavioral modification strategies or physical activity promotion tools. Improvements in children's body weight, blood measures, and behavior patterns were measured after treatment ended (6 months) and then again after 12 months. The results may lead to a better understanding of how family members can positively influence young children's behaviors to help prevent T2D. The objective of proposed study was to test a family-based intervention designed to reduce excess body weight, improve metabolic and cardiovascular profile, and improve diet and physical activity levels in 4 - 8 year old youth who are "at risk" for T2D. This intervention was tested in a 2-arm randomized controlled clinical trial. Primary Hypotheses: 1. Compared to children receiving NPA, children receiving LMDP will show greater reductions in excess body weight, greater improvements in metabolic and cardiovascular meas
