Childhood obesity is one of the greatest public health problems facing advanced societies, and Spain is one of the countries with the highest incidence. There are many studies that monitor at the national level, but given the lack of specificity, lack of updating and scarcity of epidemiological data on overweight, obesity, physical condition and well-being of children and adolescents in Extremadura, it seems necessary to create a Well-being, Obesity and Motricity Observatory in Childhood and Youth (WOMO) in Extremadura in order to follow up on the evolution of this problem and to propose strategies to combat it. Therefore, this project aims (1) to obtain information on the physical condition, body composition and well-being of children and youth in Extremadura every year and (2) to evaluate the relationship between obesity, overweight, physical condition, well-being, self-perceived physical fitness, physical activity adherence, physical literacy, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), happiness and satisfaction with life, connection with nature, barriers to sports practice, self-concept and bullying in children and youth.
An annual monitoring cross-sectional and follow-up study will be performed. Primary outcome measures will be (1) personal data and anthropometric measurements, (2) family and school information, (3) physical condition, (4) obesity and overweight level, and (5) well-being. Secondary outcome measures will be (1) self-perceived physical fitness, (2) physical activity adherence, (3) physical literacy, (4) HRQoL, (5) happiness and satisfaction with life, (6) connection with nature, (7) barriers to sports practice, (8) self-concept and (9) bullying.
This project will provide valuable information to adopt appropriate strategies to reduce the level of overweight and obesity in children and youth. Furthermore, orientations will be given to transfer the results obtained to the business sector or to the public sector to evaluate or change the policies adopted.
儿童肥胖是发达社会面临的最大公共卫生问题之一，而西班牙是发病率最高的国家之一。有许多研究在国家层面上进行监测，但由于缺乏特异性、缺乏更新以及儿童和青少年超重、肥胖、身体状况和幸福感的流行病学数据稀少，似乎有必要在埃斯特雷马杜拉创建一个儿童和青年健康、肥胖和运动观察站 (WOMO)，以跟踪这一问题的演变，并提出应对策略。因此，本项目旨在 (1) 每年获取埃斯特雷马杜拉儿童和青少年身体状况、身体成分和幸福感的信息，以及 (2) 评估肥胖、超重、身体状况、幸福感、自我感知身体健康、身体活动依从性、身体素养、健康相关生活质量 (HRQoL)、幸福和生活满意度、与自然的联系、体育实践障碍、自我概念和欺凌之间的关系。
将进行年度监测横断面和随访研究。主要结局指标将是 (1) 个人数据和人体测量学测量，(2) 家庭和学校信息，(3) 身体状况，(4) 肥胖和超重水平，以及 (5) 幸福感。次要结局指标将是 (1) 自我感知身体健康，(2) 身体活动依从性，(3) 身体素养，(4) HRQoL，(5) 幸福和生活满意度，(6) 与自然的联系，(7) 体育实践障碍，(8) 自我概念和 (9) 欺凌。
本项目将提供有价值的信息，以采取适当的策略来降低儿童和青少年超重和肥胖的水平。此外，还将为将获得的结果转移到企业部门或公共部门，以评估或改变所采用的政策提供指导。
