This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Public Health
  • Nutrition Science

Background:

  • Childhood obesity is a significant public health concern requiring effective interventions.
  • Elementary school settings offer a viable platform for addressing childhood obesity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based intervention program aimed at reducing obesity in elementary school children.

Main Methods:

  • A non-randomized controlled trial was conducted over two school years in Spain.
  • The intervention included workshops on healthy eating, educational sessions, and physical activity promotion.
  • Body mass index (BMI) z-score, obesity prevalence, waist circumference, dietary habits, and physical activity were assessed.

Main Results:

  • The intervention group showed a statistically significant decrease in BMI z-score (P=.017) and an improvement in diet quality scores (KIDMED, P=.045).
  • The percentage of students with an optimal diet increased significantly in the intervention group (P=.021).
  • No significant differences were observed in obesity/overweight prevalence or waist circumference between groups.

Conclusions:

  • The school-based program demonstrated modest positive effects on children's BMI and dietary habits.
  • Further research may be needed to enhance the impact on obesity and overweight prevalence.
