This low-intensive multicomponent child-centered intervention for the primary prevention of child obesity did not show statistical significant effects on zBMI, but is suggested to be cost-effective with the potential to be implemented universally in the Child Health Services. Future studies should investigate the impact of socio-economic factors in universally implemented obesity prevention programs.
