Dietary outcomes of overweight fathers and their children in the Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids community randomised controlled trial

ConclusionsThe HDHK intervention successfully improved some aspects of father's dietary intakes compared to controls. The fathers’ eating patterns also correlated with those of their children for several dietary variables. These novel data suggest that fathers can be targeted as agents of dietary change within obesity prevention and treatment programmes.
