A school‐based intervention for obesity prevention and management: Effectiveness and determinants of its success. The <scp>Feel4Diabetes</scp> study
The Feel4Diabetes school-based intervention demonstrated that it could effectively improve the BMI z-score among children with overweight, but not with obesity. Family's characteristics (mother's weight and family income) may affect the effectiveness of such interventions and should be considered in relevant public health efforts.
