TY - JOUR AU - Tanas, Rita AU - Marcolongo, Renzo AU - Pedretti, Stefania AU - Gilli, Giuseppe PY - 2007 DA - 2007/10/22 TI - A family-based education program for obesity: a three-year study JO - BMC Pediatrics SP - 33 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - The epidemic of obesity is increasing in all countries. However, the number of controlled studies focusing on childhood obesity, with a long follow-up is still limited. Even though Behavioral Therapy shows some efficacy, it requires a prolonged teamwork that is not always available in public health settings. In addition, Behavioral Therapy is not always accepted. We describe a new intensive and sustainable family-based, Therapeutic Education program for childhood obesity.
