Childhood obesity interventions among Latinos residing in the US-Mexico border: a systematic review and meta-analysis of obesity outcomes

Objective

The United States and Mexico have similarly high childhood obesity trends, especially among underserved populations and communities living in the US-Mexico border region. To date, limited research has compared childhood obesity prevention interventions in both US and Mexico border states. This systematic literature review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of childhood obesity interventions on obesity outcomes among Hispanic/Latino children residing in US-Mexico border states.
