These results are not consistent with the literature that suggests parent-based interventions may influence their children's weight trajectories. Limitations include small sample size, short time span of intervention, and limited availability of additional health/biographic data on dependent children. Future studies should collect primary outcome data on children, investigate whether there is a minimum duration of parental involvement and level of parental adherence, and assess the effect of parent-child dynamics on child weight trajectories.
