Lifestyle changes investigated via measuring of body mass index and scales of drug consumption, frequency of blood pressure measurements , walking and feeding patterns questionnaire in month before and two months after intervention.
Results: At the end of study, mean of BMI in intervention group 0/408±0/401 and control group 0/096±0/273 decreased. Independent T-test showed statistically significant difference between groups (P>0.01). 74/2% of the parent of intervention group and 33/3% of control group at the end of study took their medication regularly. Chi-square showed significant difference between groups (P>0.01). At the end of study, these statistical tests also showed significantly difference between the experimental group and control group, regarding consumption salt, oil, sugar, white meat, vegetables and dairy products.
