| Description | The aim was to evaluate globally the effectiveness of projects against childhood obesity, and to review the situation in the Czech Republic. 19 systematic reviews and meta-analyses were found. Of the 8 prevention reviews, 5 found the projects effective, of the 7 focused on therapy, they were 4, and out of the 4 combined, 2 evaluated the projects as effective. Even in cases of effective interventions, high heterogenity, risk of bias, and low quality of evidence were detected. Since Czech projects do not meet meta-analysis criteria, and often do not include outputs, they do not appear in the publication databases, and general searches need to be used. We managed to find 20 projects in the Czech Republic. Only 2 include weight indicators as output, and 2 at least nutritional change assessments. Most projects in the Czech Republic do not contain any adequate effect assessment. |
