The sample used is 4858 participants of whom 2553 are girls (52.55%) and 2305 boys (47.45%) with a range of age between 6 and 16 years. Also of the total sample 2500 participants belong to primary while 2358 come from. These samples detected those participants exceeding the cut-off points in the EDAH scale versions validated for the Canary Islands.
