Abstract

Authors’ conclusions education of the primary carer is an important modifiable factor that must be targeted in plans of prevention of childhood obesity. Interventions should show families that they can implement lifestyle changes.

Reviewers’ commentary: with the limitations of a cohort study not specifically designed for childhood obesity interventions, the authors' conclusions agree with other publications in some risk factors and the importance of family centred educational interventions to treat childhood obesity.
