Yes / Background: There is an absence of evidence about interventions to prevent or treat obesity in early
childhood and in South Asian populations, in whom risk is higher.
Objectives: To study patterns and the aetiology of childhood obesity in a multiethnic population and
develop a prevention intervention.
Design: A cohort of pregnant women and their infants was recruited. Measures to compare growth and
identify targets for obesity prevention, sensitive to ethnic differences, were collected. A feasibility
randomised controlled trial (RCT) was undertaken.
Setting: Bradford, UK.
Participants: A total of 1735 mothers, 933 of whom were of South Asian origin.
Intervention: A feasibility trial of a group-based intervention aimed at overweight women, delivered
ante- and postnatally, targeting key modifiable lifestyle behaviours to reduce infant obesity.
Main outcome measures: The feasibility and acceptability of the pilot intervention.
Data sources: Routine NHS data and additional bespoke research data.
Review methods: A systematic review of diet and physical activity interventions to prevent or treat obesity
in South Asian children and adults. / National Institute for Health Research
