In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Childhood obesity in Singapore is rising with a record prevalence of 13% in 2017 (1). Given that 70% of overweight children remain so into adulthood (2), this will further increase the public health epidemic of diabetes among Singaporeans. Early intervention is thus critical to improve the weight trajectory of overweight children and foster life long healthy lifestyle habits. Family-based interventions combining dietary, physical activity and behavioural interventions are currently recommended as the best practice in the management of childhood obesity in children younger than 12 years old (3-7). Our pilot study on family-based intervention in the tertiary setting demonstrated feasibility and short-term effectiveness. However, its outreach and sustainable results are limited. Currently, school-based screening, weight management clinics and community recreational facilities are operating
