insights in the effectiveness of childhood obesity interventions, and associations between obesity-related factors and youth’s weight
Kobes, A. (2021). What works today?: insights in the effectiveness of childhood obesity interventions, and associations between obesity-related factors and youth’s weight. Groningen: Universiteit Groningen.
In four studies, Kobes examines the effectiveness of obesity-related lifestyle interventions, and tests the association between several measures and factors, and youth’s weight at various levels of influence. In the first study, an overview is given of the effectiveness of obesity-related lifestyle interventions in the form of a meta-synthesis. The second study investigates the association between weight and feeding behaviors of young children, and characteristics of mothers’ social network members. The third study is an evaluation of Jongeren Op Gezond Gewicht (Youth At Healthy Weight), the largest childhood obesity community approach in the Netherlands. Finally, the fourth study tests whether the quantity of state-level obesity-related legislation in the United States is associated with adolescents BMI and overweight/obesity prevalence.
