Summary
This study tests whether a family-based weight management program can slow the start of puberty in overweight girls aged 6.5 to 8. Half of the 240 participants will join a 5-month program focused on healthy eating and exercise, while the other half receives usual care. Researchers will track puberty signs and health behaviors for up to 3 years to see if the program reduces early puberty and related health risks.
