Children consumed for 12 weeks one of the following treatments: One serving (33g) of ready to eat cereal (RTEC) at breakfast; two servings of RTEC, one at breakfast and another serving at dinner; one serving RTEC and mothers received a nutrition education guidance which consisted of delivering orally and written general recommendations for a healthy eating during 12 sessions.
Primary Outcome(s)
Weight Body Mass Index. Weight and height we meassured with an electronic scale (SECA, Erecta 844, Hamburg, Germany) and a portable stadimeter (SECA, Bodymeter 208, Germany) by personnel standardized following standard procedures recommended by the World Health Organization.[Baseline, week 4, 8 and 12]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Body fat. A body composition analysis was carried out by bioelectrical impedance using a conductance measurement apparatus (BIA 101, RJL Systems, Clinton TWP, MI).[Baseline and week 12]
Blood lipids. A fasting blood sample was drawn from every child at basal and after 12 weeks of treatment. Blood samples were centrifuged at 1800-2000 rpm during 15 minutes and plasma was stored at -20oC until analysis. Biochemical analysis in plasma samples included triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol and were done using a commercial kit (Sera?Pak Kit Bayer Diagnostics, France).[Baseline and week 12]
