Why parent-focused obesity programs aren't working
Update: 2025-09-12
Description
There’s no evidence that parent-focused programs are working to prevent obesity in kids up to two years of age.
The results of the meta-analysis published in the Lancet suggest we need to rethink our current approach to prevention.
The researchers say these programs are failing to outrun environmental and socio-economic factors that require coordinated action to change.
