Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

BMI (body mass index)

We inputted the height and weight measurements into the WHO( World Health Organization) AntroPlus tool and assessed the BMI z-score. We will group the participants as underweight-normal, overweight, obese and morbidly obese.

Time frame
All measurements will be collected at 0, 3 and 6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

FNPA scores

Researchers will distribute the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity (FNPA) scale to parents. Parents will collect the questionnaires after they complete them. Children who score high on the FNPA scales are thought to have protective family behaviors against obesity. There is no cut-off point for the scale.

Time frame
All measurements will be collected at 0, 3 and 6 months
2

FI Scores

Researchers will collect data by distributing the Food Index to families and collecting it. A high score on the Food Index is known to protect against obesity. There is no cut-off point for the index.

Time frame
All measurements will be collected at 0, 3 and 6 months
