Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Weight measured to the nearest 0.1 kg using a portable digital scale (SECA AURA 807) 2. Height measured to the nearest 0.1 cm with a portable stadiometer (Seca Stadiometer 206, Seca Corporation, Hamburg, Germany) 3. Waist circumference measured to the nearest 0.1 cm with an anthropometric tape (Sanny, Berasil) 4. BMI Z-score calculated using the 2007 WHO reference growth charts 5. Child’s and parent’s dietary intake and habits are assessed with two 24h recalls using the Multiple Pass Method completed by participating parent or guardian. 24h dietary recall data is analyzed with NDS-R (Nutrition Data System for Research – University of Minnesota) 6. Child’s physical activity and sedentary behavior is assessed with accelerometers (ActiGraph wGT3X-BT) used during 7 days. Accelerometer data is analyzed with ActiLife 6.11.8 (Copyright 2009-2015 ActiGraph, LLC) 7. Parent’s physical activity and sedentary behavior is assessed with the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ - WHO) 8. Blood pressure assessed with a digital automatic sphygmomanometer (OMRON HEM-7114EF) Each outcome is measured at baseline and at 12 months (end of study).	—
