摘要

重要性在学校停课的暑假期间,儿童的体重指数(BMI)会加速上升。低收入家庭的儿童最容易受到影响。夏季体重指数加速上升可能是由于取消了学校提供的促进健康的结构。在夏季,一种常见的促进健康的结构形式是夏令营(SDCs)。夏令营主要是收费服务,这给低收入家庭的儿童造成了经济障碍。研究免费使用现有的社区日间夏令营是否能缓解小学适龄儿童体重指数 z 值(zBMI)的加速增长。这项随机临床试验于 2021 年、2022 年和 2023 年夏季在美国东南部进行。参与者是来自低收入家庭为主的儿童(幼儿园至四年级),他们被随机分配到由公园和娱乐委员会运营的 SDC 或照常过暑假(对照组)。主要结果和测量主要结果是在放学前(5 月)和暑假返校时(8 月底)测量的 zBMI 变化的组间差异。结果共有 422 名儿童(平均 [SD] 年龄,8.2 [1.5] 岁;202 [48%] 名女性,220 [52%] 名男性,292 [69%] 名处于或低于 200% 的联邦贫困水平,127 [30%] 名存在食物不安全问题)被随机分配到两种条件中的一种:夏季照常(对照组,n = 199)或免费 SDC(n = 223)。意向治疗分析表明,夏季结束时,对照组 zBMI 的平均变化(SE)为 0.046 (0.027),干预组为 -0.048 (0.025),组间差异显著,为 -0.094 (95% CI, -0.166 to -0.022)。剂量-反应分析表明,每周参加 SDC 的时间每增加一天,zBMI 就会减少-0.034 到-0.018,这意味着从未参加过暑期活动的儿童的zBMI增加了 0.046 到 0.080,而每个工作日参加暑期活动的儿童的zBMI减少了-0.09 到-0.04。未来的研究应在不同地区重复这些发现,并确定最佳的编程剂量,以减轻不健康的 zBMI 增长:NCT04072549

Free Summer Programming and Body Mass Index Among Schoolchildren From Low-Income Households
ImportanceChildren experience accelerated gains in body mass index (BMI) during the summer months when school is not in session. Children from low-income households are most susceptible. Accelerated BMI gain in summer may be due to the removal of the health-promoting structure provided by schools. During summer, a common form of health-promoting structure is summer day camps (SDCs). Summer day camps are predominately fee for service, which creates a financial barrier for children from low-income households. One solution to mitigate accelerated BMI gain is providing free access to an existing SDC.ObjectiveTo investigate whether providing free access to an existing community SDC can mitigate accelerated BMI z score (zBMI) gain in elementary school–age children.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted during the summers of 2021, 2022, and 2023 in the southeastern United States. Participants were children (kindergarten through fourth grade) from predominantly low-income households who were randomized to attend an SDC operated by a parks and recreation commission or continue summer as usual (control).InterventionFree SDC every weekday (Monday through Friday) for 8 to 10 weeks.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was between-group differences in change of zBMI measured before school ended (May) and on return to school from summer (late August). Secondary analyses examined the dose response of zBMI change with parent-reported child attendance at SDCs during the summer for all children (intervention and control).ResultsA total of 422 children (mean [SD] age, 8.2 [1.5] years; 202 [48%] female, 220 [52%] male, 292 [69%] at or below 200% federal poverty level, 127 [30%] with food insecurity) were randomized to 1 of 2 conditions: summer as usual (control, n = 199) or free SDC (n = 223).
