Parents whose children were part of a school-centered, community-based
obesity prevention program reported losing a modest amount of weight over
the course of the 2-year intervention, according to a study published
online December 18 in the American Journal of Public Health.
.
The program may be the first to measure the effect of a school-based
program on community health, according to Edward Coffield, PhD, prevention
effectiveness fellow, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta,
Georgia, and colleagues.

"We've provided new evidence that community wide school-based obesity
prevention efforts may go beyond the target audience of young children and
influence the weight status of their parent, who helps decide what they
eat and how active they are at home. From a public health perspective,
this is a pretty powerful observation," Christina Economos, PhD, an
associate professor at the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of
Nutrition Science and Policy, Tufts University, Boston, Massachusetts, and
principal investigator of SUS, said in a university news release.
