Official title
Implementing Dynamo: a Tailored Lifestyle Promotion Intervention Among Pediatric Patients With Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
Overview
The Dyn@mo lifestyle intervention (CHU Sainte-Justine, Quebec, Canada) targets children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years old with cardiometabolic risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, disorders in glucose regulation or dyslipidemia. Its primary goal is to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary time to improve childrens' cardiometabolic profile. To do so, the intervention relies on gathering data on mobility and physical activity using wearable sensors. These data provide a detailed picture of real-life conditions and physical activity levels, improving the health care professional's ability to tailor counseling. The investigators are presently in the implementation phase of this intervention.
Interventions
- Behavioral Sensor based PA intervention
Children will be equipped with a heart rate monitor, a GPS receiver and an accelerometer for collection of heart rate, mobility and physical activity free-living data during a 7-day period. This will provide a 'spatio-behavioural diagnosis' using a map-based interactive web application. This data will be used to developed a tailored plan to promote physical activity in the child's every day environment. - Behavioral Traditional PA counseling
Children will be encouraged to enhance their physical activity levels using traditional behavioral approaches.
Primary outcome measures
- Change in physical activity levels [Time frame: Baseline and 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Change in blood pressure [Time frame: Baseline and 1 year]
- Change in glucose homeostasis [Time frame: Baseline and 1 year]
- Change in lipid status [Time frame: Baseline and 1 year]
- Change in body mass index [Time frame: Baseline and 1 year]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- children ages 6 to 18 years of age with a BMI > 95th percentile for age and sex
Exclusion criteria
- children with a physical or psychological condition that would impair their ability to participate in physical activity
