obese children in lower-income families
Rationale: Intervening in children yields the longest-lasting benefit because habits and physiology are more modifiable early in life. Targeting lower‑income families addresses major environmental and socioeconomic drivers (limited access to healthy foods, safe places to play, and nutrition education), so limited funds are more cost‑effective.
