These studies suggest that school-based interventions targeting diet and physical activity can effectively prevent childhood obesity, particularly in younger children and girls, with the greatest success seen in multi-component approaches.
Childhood obesity is a growing public health concern worldwide, with significant implications for long-term health. School-based interventions have been identified as a promising approach to prevent obesity in children by promoting healthy dietary behaviors and physical activity. This synthesis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions based on multiple research studies.
Combined Diet and Physical Activity Interventions:
Physical Activity-Focused Interventions:
Parental and Family Involvement:
Behavioral Theory-Based Interventions:
Process and Implementation Evaluations:
Long-Term and Multi-Faceted Approaches:
School-based interventions are generally effective in preventing childhood obesity, particularly when they combine dietary and physical activity components and involve multiple stakeholders, including families. Emphasizing enjoyment in physical activities and grounding interventions in behavioral theories can enhance their effectiveness. Long-term, multi-faceted approaches that target the entire school environment are essential for sustained positive outcomes. Further research is needed to refine these interventions and confirm their long-term benefits.
