What is the effectiveness of using nutrition education without a prescribed diet plan as the dietary component of a multicomponent pediatric weight management program in children (ages 6-12)?-
Conclusion
In children (ages six to 12), using nutrition education alone (without some form of individualized diet plan with the child or child and family) as part of a multi-component weight-management program may be associated with short-term improvement in adiposity measures. Longer-term results (more than one year) are less consistent.
