Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Diet quality and weight status (including excess adiposity and BMI) in schoolchildren measured using the InBody device, which uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) at one timepoint	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Diet quality measured using the Children’s Diet Quality Questionnaire (Cuestionario de Calidad de la Dieta en Niños, validated in Spanish) at baseline. 2. Mental health measured using the Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale (Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión en Niños) at one timepoint 3. Plasma biomarkers associated with metabolic and inflammatory processes measured using ELISA and targeted metabolomic assays (LC-MS/MS and NMR) in blood at baseline.	—
