BMI Z-scoreSecondary· Week 1-2, Week 11-12, and Week 34-36
Measured Height and Weight Pre-intervention vs Post-intervention. Body Mass Index (BMI) Z-score, is the child's calculated standard deviation from the CDC's population reference for child's sex and age. The formula is: Z-score = ((BMI / M)L - 1) / (L × S) where BMI is body mass index, M is median, L is the transformation for normality, and S is the coefficient of variations. A Z-score of 0 represents the mean for the CDC's reference population. Z-scores above the mean generally represent a worse outcome. A Z-score of 1.645 is the 95th percentile, which is considered the threshold for obesity.

Block Food Screeners for Ages 2-17 2007: These screeners are designed to assess children's intake by food group, with outcomes measured in number of servings. The version the investigative team will use for this study is about food eaten "last week." The focus of this tool is on intake of fruit and fruit juices, vegetables, potatoes (including French fries), whole grains, meat/poultry/fish, dairy, legumes, saturated fat, "added sugars" (in sweetened cereals, soft drinks, and sweets)

Fruit and Vegetable Intake and Skin CarotenoidsSecondary· Week 1-2, Week 11-12, and Week 34-36
Fruit and Vegetable Intake/Skin Carotenoid levels Pre-intervention vs Post-intervention, measured by Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner. Skin carotenoids are measured using Raman spectroscopy, which returned results in units of Raman counts from 0 to 70,000. Greater Raman counts indicate greater skin carotenoids and greater fruit/vegetable intake.

Sponsor's own description
Childhood obesity and metabolic risk are at record high levels in the US, and Latino children are at very high risk. This project will test an intervention called Fit 5 Kids, designed for Latino preschoolers to decrease their screen time in order to promote physical activity and healthy eating, and to prevent obesity. Ultimately, this line of research has the potential to provide an effective program to reduce risk of obesity for Latinos in the Head Start program and other preschool-based settings.
