The establishment of healthy eating habits in children at school and in family life is very important for preventing obesity in children.
To know the habits of late-breakfast in a scholar population, the prevalence of overweight and obesity, and establish healthy dietary habits through the late-breakfast.
A prospective interventional study was performed in a school group. Children from 10 to 13 years-old were included. The study had three phases: pre-intervention (anthropometric assessment and questionnaire of late-breakfast frequency), intervention (parents and teachers received information about "the importance of proper nutrition in school" focused on the transcendence of a healthy and balanced diet that includes a suitable late-breakfast every day at school, and the students received the late-breakfast during two weeks that included milk, fruit and a traditional sandwich), and post-intervention (questionnaire of late-breakfast frequency).
Frequency of overweight was 10.6% and obesity 2.6%. After the intervention the proportion of children who had late-breakfast increased by 9.2%, and the kind of food which they ate changed.
Dietary habits can be modified in a scholar population with an easy nutritional intervention.
在学校和家庭生活中培养儿童健康的饮食习惯对于预防儿童肥胖非常重要。
了解学生群体中不吃早餐到晚吃早餐的习惯、超重和肥胖的患病率，并通过晚吃早餐建立健康的饮食习惯。
在一个学校群体中进行了一项前瞻性干预研究。纳入了10至13岁的儿童。该研究有三个阶段：干预前（人体测量评估和不吃早餐到晚吃早餐频率问卷）、干预（家长和教师收到关于“学校适当营养的重要性”的信息，重点是健康均衡饮食的重要性，包括每天在学校适当晚吃早餐，学生在两周内吃晚早餐，包括牛奶、水果和传统三明治）和干预后（不吃早餐到晚吃早餐频率问卷）。
超重发生率为10.6%，肥胖发生率为2.6%。干预后，吃晚早餐的儿童比例增加了9.2%，他们所吃的食物种类也发生了变化。
通过简单的营养干预可以改变学生群体的饮食习惯。
