The Para Salud study is a longitudinal, community-based participatory research (CBPR) initiative aimed at preventing and controlling obesity among preschool children in rural Texas. The study will implement evidence-based interventions targeting nutrition, physical activity, and gardening. The interventions are designed to improve health outcomes, specifically in reducing obesity-related metrics among young Hispanic children, who are at a higher risk of obesity due to social determinants of health. Primary Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the Para Salud interventions in reducing obesity-related metrics, including BMI percentile, waist-to-height ratio, and percentage body fat, among preschool children aged 3-4 years in the Texas High Plains over a 24-month period. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the impact of the Para Salud interventions on increasing physical activity levels, improving dietary habits (such as increasing fruit and vegetable intake), and reducing sedentary behavior and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among the study participants.
