ABSTRACT
Introduction: To prevent eating disorders related to diseases, interventions that address education, nutrition, and physical activity should be implemented in full-time primary schools in Mexico. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention on nutritional status, level of knowledge, eating habits, physical activity and healthy menu implementation in schoolchildren between 6 and 12 years old. Material and method: A descriptive, longitudinal, quasiexperimental study with a sample of 262 students from 2 different schools (intervened group and control group) from Ciudad Mante, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Knowledge, frequency of food consumption, and physical activity survey were carried out, in addition to the anthropometric evaluation before and after the intervention. In the intervened group, school menus were changed, talks were given on eating habits, and physical activity was implemented in four months. Results: Overweight and general obesity before and after the intervention were 46% and 28%, respectively. The educational intervention managed to reduce low weight, obesity, and overweight. Participants' physical activity time was increased. Conclusions: The educational intervention itself is functional in full-time schools with correct nutrition, healthy habits, and physical activity that can improve nutritional status in schoolchildren.REFERENCES
