Conditions
Interventions
sample consisted of 833 students (n=387/school underintervention
n=446/control school)enrolled in the 5th to 8th grades.
Intervention protocol (9 months)
Eight pertinent classes were provided to promote healthy eating and physical activity, each lasting fifty min
2) Physical activity and sports
3) Fats, sugars and salt: effects of a poor diet
4) Nutritional evaluation: the basics
5) Use of supplements in physical activity: a critical approach
6) Food labelling: food and nutritional safety
7) Role of nutrients in health promotion: functional foods with a focus on fruits, vegetables and legumes
8)Good food hand ling practices.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction in total cholesterol levels (TC), reduction of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride levels as well as increased levels of lipoprotein cholesterol high density (HDL-C) in the group under intervention. Serum levels of TC, HDLc and TG were determined by enzymatic methods and LDLc by the Friedewald formula when TG levels were lower than 400 mg/dL. Several multivariate regression models (Generalised Estimating Equation -GEE)were applied for each outcome variable (TG, TC, HDLc, LDLc). ;Students under intervention presented decreases of 7.64 mg/dL in mean total cholesterol (TC) (p=0.009) and 7.77 mg/dL in mean low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) (p=0.003) compared with students who did not undergo intervention | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction and / or adequacy of anthropometric measures in the group under intervention (weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist height (RCE)). Furthermore, increased consumption of healthy foods (fruits and vegetables) in the group under intervention. The anthropometric measurements were obtained through scale, stadiometer and tape.The intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Several multivariate regression models (Generalised Estimating Equation-GEE) were applied for each outcome variable (weight, BMI, WC, RCE and food consumption .;Students under intervention exhibited increases of 18% in legume consumption (OR = 1.18; 95%CI 1.03-1.37) and 17% in vegetable consumption (OR = 1.17, 95%CI 1.01-1.35) compared with those who did not undergo intervention at the end of the 9-month follow-up. No differences were noted in the anthropometric parameters studied. | — |
