Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
zBMI
Height and weight will be measured to determine zBMI using the CDC extended BMI-for-age growth charts. First, height (m) and weight (kg) will be used to calculate BMI (kg/m\^2), then, using the CDC extended BMI-for-age growth charts, a zBMI score will be determined based on the charts.
Time frame
0, 12, 24 and 36 months2
body fat
Body fat (% of body weight) will be measured using the Tanita BF-400 Total Body Analyzer.
Time frame
0, 12, 24 and 36 months3
percent change over the overweight BMI
Height and weight will be measured to calculate changes in overweight status of children. Change in percent overweight from 0, 12, 24, 36 months. First, height and weight will be used to calculate BMI (kg/m\^2), then CDC extended growth charts will be used to determine BMI percentile. Percent overweight is calculated as ((childBMI percentile - 85th BMI percentile)/(85th BMI percentile)) x 100. Percent over the age- and sex- specific 85th BMI percentile for children will be used.
