Summary
This study tests a program that uses kindergartens, families, and hospitals to prevent obesity in children aged 4-6. About 980 children in China will take part. The program includes teacher training, health lessons, parent education, and check-ups. Researchers will measure changes in children's BMI to see if the program works.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide an effective, scalable framework for preventing childhood obesity in preschool settings.
