Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: It is expected to find 25% rate of overweight children who, after the intervention, maintained or reduced their body mass through the assessment of the body mass index/age. The indicator is calculated by body weight divided by height raised to the second power, and subsequently identified on the World Health Organization growth chart (2007);Outcome found 1: The outcome found was that among the children who began the study with excess weight, those in the intervention group (IG) showed a greater reduction in the percentage of the 97th percentile of BMI/age (?BMI%97th equal to -6.07 more or less 8.24%) compared to those in the control group (CG) (?BMI%97th equal to -2.89 more or less 6.16%; p equal to 0.015). The BMI%97th considers a reference population matched by age and sex for each child, using the growth charts of the World Health Organization (2007) | — |
