Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our hypothesis is that a regular systematic educational intervention in primary school improves lifestyle choices and reduces obesity. As such, the aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of a 3-year school-based program of lifestyle improvement, including diet and physical activity, implemented by university students acting as "health promoting agents" (HPA) on the prevalence of obesity.

lifestyle counseling

In 3 academic years, the intervention program consisted of three components:

1. Classroom practice by HPA to highlight healthy lifestyle habits
2. Teaching practice by HPA using books designed to include the nutritional objectives
3. Parental activities included with their children

In each of 12 activities (1 h/activity), the classroom practice consisted of three components:

1. Experimental development of activities regarding each healthy lifestyle habit
2. Assessment of activity performed in classroom
3. An activity developed for use at home
