What this study is about

Given the alarming rates of obesity and overweight in our child population, the investigators have developed an intervention strategy, based on a multidisciplinary, school-centered approach, which addresses nutritional education, physical activity, behavioral intervention techniques and tools that facilitate the learning of healthy lifestyle habits in children between 6 and 10 years of age.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Protocol for teaching healthy lifestyle habits, aimed at school-age children (initially between 1st and 4th grade of primary school), to be implemented transversally in schools. This protocol takes into account three levels of action: school, family and pupils. It includes materials in paper format and digital materials, that can be used both at school and at home.

Primary outcomes

Changes in body mass index from baseline to post-intervention in the control group vs the intervention group1 year

Body mass index (weight in kg/height in meters squared) will be determined after weight and height have been measured both at baseline and after the intervention period. The change in BMI from the control and intervention groups will be compared to determine if there is a difference in the rate of change between both groups.
