Overview

This meta-analysis reveals parental-involved physical activity and nutrition interventions improve BMI and fat metrics in young adolescents, suggesting effective parental roles.

Key Points

  • Results indicate that parental-involved interventions effectively reduce BMI among young adolescents, supporting healthier weight outcomes.
  • The analysis highlights pooled effect sizes for BMI (g = −0.30) and percent body fat (g = −0.37) from 19 studies with 6,582 participants.
  • Conducted as a meta-analysis, the research adhered to PRISMA guidelines, utilizing exploratory moderation analyses for detailed insights.
  • Caution is warranted due to potential publication bias and high heterogeneity observed in the study's BMI and waist circumference outcomes.
