The objectives of the DECCO study were:

  • To better understand health problems such as high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels and an abnormal response to sugars, in children and adolescents who are overweight; and
  • To learn more about why these health problems develop; and
  • To learn how these health problems change when a child or adolescent is part of a program like “Shaping Up”; and
  • To learn what causes these changes to occur in some individuals, and not in others.
