This paper describes the protocol for a study designed to address the high prevalence (40%) of childhood overweight and obesity in the province of Cádiz, Spain, as a reflection of what is happening worldwide. It is widely known that children who suffer from childhood obesity have a higher risk of developing chronic diseases in adulthood. This causes a decrease in the quality of life and an increase in health spending. In this context, it is necessary to intervene promoting healthy lifestyle habits from an early stage. The objective of this project will be to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal intervention (individual, school and family) called "PREVIENE-CÁDIZ" [CADIZ-PREVENT]. The intervention will be focused mainly on diet, physical activity, sedentary lifestyle and sleep, to prevent overweight and obesity in schoolchildren from 8 to 9 years old in the province of Cádiz. It will consist of a 10-session education program carried out in the classroom by the teachers. In addition, children will be assigned two workbooks, one to work on in class and the other at home with parents. A workshop aimed at parents will be included to help teach them how to obtain healthier lifestyle habits. The proposed study will involve a quasi-experimental design with a control group.
本文描述了一项研究的方案，该研究旨在解决西班牙加的斯省儿童超重和肥胖率高（40%）的问题，这反映了全球范围内的情况。众所周知，肥胖的儿童在成年后患慢性病的风险更高。这会降低生活质量并增加医疗支出。在这种情况下，有必要从早期开始通过促进健康的生活习惯来进行干预。该项目的目标将是评估一种称为“PREVIENE-CÁDIZ”[CADIZ-PREVENT]的多模式干预措施的有效性。该干预措施将主要侧重于饮食、身体活动、久坐的生活方式和睡眠，以预防加的斯省 8 至 9 岁学童超重和肥胖。它将包括由教师在课堂上进行的 10 次教育课程。此外，还将为孩子们分配两本练习册，一本在课堂上使用，另一本在家中与家长一起使用。还将包括一个针对家长的研讨会，以帮助他们教授获得更健康生活习惯的方法。拟议的研究将采用准实验设计，包括对照组。
