%ile) decreased slightly from 15.5% to 14.9%. Baseline to 3-month/midpoint nutritional analysis showed that children in the intervention sites ate less junk food, more fresh fruits and vegetables, and drank less juice and more 1% milk compared to control sites. Specifically, (1) mean chip consumption decreased from daily to no consumption, (2) mean cookie consumption decreased 50%, (3) mean fresh fruit and vegetable consumption increased 25%, (4) juice consumption decreased 50%, and was replaced with a 20% increase in water consumption, and (5) 1% milk consumption increased 20%. In the control sites, cake and cookie consumption increased 35% and 75%, respectively, while mean fresh fruit and water consumption decreased. Conclusions. Designing health-education interventions to prevent childhood-onset obesity for the childcare setting may be an effective strategy to promote healthier eating habits and maintain healthy weight in this age group.
