NCT ID NCT07357857
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a school program called 'High Five!' to see if it could help prevent overweight and obesity in children aged 7 to 9. Over 650 children took part in fun lessons about healthy eating, physical activity, screen time, and sleep. The program also involved parents to support healthy habits at home. Researchers compared these children to others who did not receive the program to see if it helped them maintain a healthy weight and blood pressure.
