Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The intervention is expected to result in an improvement in food consumption (increase in consumption of fresh foods and reduction in consumption of ultra-processed foods), nutritional status (reduction in weight, body mass index and body fat), and in cardiometabolic parameters (reduction in and control of glycemia, blood pressure, improvement of the lipid profile). In the area of ??knowledge, it is expected to provide information on cardiometabolic parameters, food consumption and nutritional status of family members of overweight/obese children; as well as the impact of carrying out a food and nutrition education program on the parameters evaluated. In the context of training human resources and scientific production, the participation of two undergraduate students, a master's student and a doctoral student with publications in high-impact international journals is expected. Furthermore, it is expected that the results of this project will serve as key points for further strengthening food, nutrition and health actions and programs, aimed at the real needs of the studied population.
