Summary

This study tests if a family-based weight management program can slow the start of puberty in 240 overweight girls aged 6.5 to 8 from low-income households. Half the families will attend 20 weekly sessions on healthy eating and activity, while the other half receive usual care and monthly handouts. Researchers will track puberty signs and health behaviors for up to 3 years to see if the program helps reduce long-term health risks.
