Effects of Scientific Dietary Guidance Combined with Exercise Guidance on Body Fat and Growth Indicators in Obese Children
Objective: To analyze the actual effect of scientific dietary guidance combined with exercise guidance in the intervention of obese children on their body fat indicators and growth indicators. Methods: From January 2025 to December 2025, 68 children whose physical development was evaluated as obese were found in the health management of children aged 0-6 in our hospital. They were divided into two groups using the random number table method, with 34 cases in each group. The control group received routine health intervention, and the observation group received scientific dietary guidance combined with exercise guidance based on the control group. The changes in body fat indicators and growth indicators before and after the intervention were compared between the two groups. Results: After the intervention, the improvement in body fat percentage, weight, and BMI indicators in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The intervention model of scientific dietary guidance combined with exercise guidance can improve the current status of body fat accumulation and growth and development-related indicators in obese children, and is suitable for use in the health management of obese children.
