Funded Activity Summary

Eating, play and activity habits become established in the preschool-aged period, and if unhealthy can lead to obesity. The Healthy Beginnings Trial works with first time mothers on positive nutrition and physical activity behaviours. At 2 years it has successfully reduced obesity. Longer term follow-up to five years will allow analysis of predictors of physical activity and screen time in relation to obesity. Qualitative data will help understand parenting in relation to physical activity.
