A Look Back at Healthy Lifestyle Behavioral Patterns among School-Age Children: Are We Neglecting Healthy Weight for Overweight Kids?

CONCLUSION: Fewer HW and OB children were participating in recommended HLBs compared with OW children in 2010. Recent health campaigns may have helped providers prioritize the identification and counseling of OW children, yet our data suggest that we may be neglecting the role of HLB counseling in OB and HW children. Continued analysis on the social determinants that impact HLBs in school-age and HW/OB minority children should inform how we can best tailor counseling and messages in the coming decades.
