What this trial studies

The PinPo program is designed to provide a comprehensive intervention for children aged 6 to 12 years who are classified as obese, specifically those with a BMI greater than the 99th percentile. This program includes 9 educational sessions that focus on fostering motivation and encouraging healthy lifestyle changes. Each session lasts 90 minutes and is conducted in a hospital setting, involving both the children and their family members or caregivers. The sessions are led by a multidisciplinary team of professionals, including pediatricians, psychologists, nurses, and nutritionists, and occur every 15 days.
