Background and Objectives: To determine the effect of online interventions with parental assistance on the nutritional status of school children with overweight or obesity in Jakarta.
Methods and Study Design: We used a cluster-randomized controlled trial design, with one elementary school as the intervention group and another as the control. The study was conducted for 8 weeks, from the beginning of October to the end of November 2020. In the intervention group, children were given nutrition education by the teacher every week and exercise instruction 2 times a week, and parents were given assistance online. Children in the control group were given nutrition education by the teacher every week and exercise instruction in accordance with the curriculum. The sample consisted of 45 children. Anthropometric data were collected through home visits in compliance with pandemic health protocols. Data on participant demographics, 24-h food intake, and exercise practice were collected through WhatsApp interviews and Google Forms questionnaires.
Results: After 2 months, the height of the participants in the intervention group had increased from the baseline significantly (p=0.001), and improvements in nutritional status were indicated by a decrease in Body Mass Index z-score for age (p=0.001). The duration of physical activity increased significantly from baseline in intervention group(p=0.044) and in control group (p=0.007). After adjusting for several variables, the analysis demonstrated that parental assistance was not significantly associated with the change in Body Mass Index z-score.
