Abstract

Background & aims: Physical inactivity and high energy intake contribute to the growing prevalence of overweight and obesity in pre-school children. Effective preventive interventions are warranted. In the present study the effect of a low threshold intervention on anthropometry and motor abilities of pre-school children was tested. Methods: A total of 1050 children from 27 kindergartens (16 intervention (n = 688) and 11 control kindergartens (n = 362)) were tested twice at a mean interval of five months (intervention group) respectively six months (control group). BMI and motor abilities were assessed. A standardised information meeting for parents and educators concerning test results, major evidence based key guidelines of a healthy lifestyle and its importance for the development of children was the central point of the intervention. The influence of parental participation was tested within a subgroup analysis. Results: Average BMI increased in the control group (0.1 ± 0.6 kg/m2) and decreased in the intervention group (−0.1 ± 0.6 kg/m2) (p <0.001). Increase in the control group occurred in boys and girls. Decrease in the intervention group occurred only in boys, while the girls’ BMI remained stable. At the information meeting on average 60% of the children were represented by at least one parent. BMI decreased significantly more in kindergartens where >60% of the children were represented (−0.19 ± 0.6 kg/m2), than in kindergartens where
