Aim:The objective of this study was to compare hemoglobin A1c values in nondiabetic obese children and adolescents before enrollment and after completion of a 12-wk weight management program.Methods:Seventeen children and adolescents,age 10.8±2.5 y(mean±SD),joined a multidisciplinary weight management program.Hemoglobin A1c and body mass index were measured at the start and at the completion of the program in each participant.Results:Body mass index at the start of the program was 34.3±6.4 kg/m2.Body mass index at the end of the program was 33±6.6 kg/m2(P < 0.05).Hemoglobin A1c at the beginning of the program was 5.3±0.3%.Hemoglobin A1c at the completion of the program was 5±0.2%(P < 0.05).Conclusion:In this group of overweight children,hemoglobin A1c decreased significantly after participating in a multidisciplinary weight loss program.These findings further point to the beneficial effect of lifestyle changes on the metabolic status of obese children.
Aim: The objective of this study was to compare hemoglobin A1c values in nondiabetic obese children and adolescents before enrollment and after completion of a 12-wk weight management program. Methods: Seventeen children and adolescents, age 10.8 ± 2.5 y (mean ± SD) , joined a multidisciplinary weight management program. Hemoglobin A1c and body mass index were measured at the start and at the completion of the program in each participant. Results: Body mass index at the start of the program was 34.3 ± 6.4 kg / m2.Body The mass index at the end of the program was 33 ± 6.6 kg / m2 (P <0.05). Hemoglobin A1c at the beginning of the program was 5.3 ± 0.3%. Hemoglobin A1c at the completion of the program was 5 ± 0.2% (P <0.05) .Conclusion: In this group of overweight children, hemoglobin A1c decreased significantly after participating in a multidisciplinary weight loss program. The findings further point to the beneficial effect of lifestyle changes on the metabolic status of obese children.
