Recruiting now · Not applicable · 1 countries · Registry ID NCT06409962
What this study is about
Childhood obesity is a global public health issue, with rising prevalence rates. In Spain, the problem is significant, particularly in the southern regions. Factors contributing to childhood obesity include dietary habits, lack of physical activity, and socioeconomic influences. Efforts to address childhood obesity in Spain include various programs focusing on dietary modification, increased physical activity, and family involvement. Despite these initiatives, there is a need for continued intervention, as changing dietary and lifestyle patterns have led to reduced fruit and vegetable consumption and increased sedentary behavior among children. Childhood obesity has concerning health implications, including heart-related issues. Echocardiography plays a vital role in early detection. Given the limited research on the impact of childhood obesity on musculoskeletal development and mobility, a comprehensive study is needed to analyze its prevalence and associated factors. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of nutritional interventions administered by school nurses. In summary, childhood obesity in Spain is a growing concern, with multifaceted causes and health implications. Ongoing efforts are required to combat this issue and promote healthier lifestyles among children.

Treatments and study arms
Technological combination
The intervention comprises workshops, individualized counseling, cooking classes, and physical activity promotion. It emphasizes nutritional education, hands-on cooking, and behavioral modification techniques. Participants receive personalized guidance and resources to make sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes. Social support networks foster motivation and accountability. By combining these components, the intervention aims to empower participants with the knowledge, skills, and support needed for long-term health improvements.
Primary outcomes
Weight, as a pivotal anthropometric measure, will be quantified using a validated weight machine, alongside a body composition monitor such as the BF511. The validated weight machine adheres to established calibration standards, ensuring precision and consistency in measurements. It employs advanced technology to accurately assess an individual's weight in kilograms (kg), providing reliable data for scientific analyses.
Height will be registered in meters squared (m\^2) for its precise evaluation. Employing a validated tachymeter, a specialized instrument designed for accurate measurements, ensures meticulous assessment of height.
The lean fat, calculated in percentage, will be obtained using a validated weight machine, alongside a body composition monitor such as the BF511.

The Body Mass Index will be calculated using the percentiles according to age group and sex.
The waist circumference (cm) of the children will be measured via an inextensible measuring tape at the initial visit (1st month or V0) and at the last visit (15th month or V6).The measurement follows the recommendations of the International Standards for Anthropometric Assessment
The Hip circumference(cm) of the children will be measured via an inextensible measuring tape at the initial visit (1st month or V0) and at the last visit (15th month or V6).The measurement follows the recommendations of the International Standards for Anthropometric Assessment
The arm circumference (cm) of the children will be measured via an inextensible measuring tape at the initial visit (1st month or V0) and at the last visit (15th month or V6).The measurement follows the recommendations of the International Standards for Anthropometric Assessment
