BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the impact of the FLUYE school-based intervention on children's lifestyle behaviors, Mediterranean diet adherence, and emotional well-being in Spain. The objective was to promote healthy habits through nutrition education, physical activity, and emotional support within the school environment, with a focus on addressing the needs of both normal-weight and overweight/obese children.
A total of 552 children aged 3 to 12 years participated in the study, with data collected at baseline (T0) and follow-up (T1). The intervention was designed to integrate health education into the school curriculum, emphasizing the development of personal competencies in diet, physical activity, and emotional well-being. The analysis included changes in dietary habits, screen time, physical activity, and psychosocial outcomes, with comparisons made between the normal-weight and overweight/obese groups.
Significant improvements were observed in water consumption and reductions in sugar-sweetened beverage intake across both weight groups. However, an increase in screen time, particularly among normal-weight children, highlighted ongoing challenges in reducing sedentary behavior. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet improved more significantly in the overweight/obese group, suggesting the program's effectiveness in promoting healthier eating patterns among at-risk children. Emotional well-being and self-esteem also saw significant enhancements, with children reporting increased feelings of pride and positivity post-intervention.
The FLUYE program effectively improved various aspects of children's lifestyle behaviors, particularly in dietary habits and emotional well-being. These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive, school-based interventions that address both physical and psychosocial aspects of health, especially for children at higher risk for obesity.
背景/目的：本研究调查了西班牙FLUYE学校干预措施对儿童生活方式行为、地中海饮食依从性和情绪健康的影响。目的是通过学校环境中的营养教育、体育活动和情感支持来促进健康习惯，重点关注满足正常体重和超重/肥胖儿童的需求。
共有552名3至12岁的儿童参与了该研究，在基线（T0）和随访（T1）时收集数据。该干预措施旨在将健康教育融入学校课程，强调在饮食、体育活动和情绪健康方面个人能力的发展。分析包括饮食习惯、屏幕时间、体育活动和心理社会结果的变化，并在正常体重组和超重/肥胖组之间进行比较。
两个体重组的饮水量均有显著改善，含糖饮料摄入量减少。然而，屏幕时间增加，尤其是在正常体重儿童中，这突出了减少久坐行为方面持续存在的挑战。超重/肥胖组对地中海饮食的依从性改善更为显著，表明该项目在促进高危儿童形成更健康的饮食模式方面有效。情绪健康和自尊也有显著提高，儿童报告干预后自豪感和积极情绪增加。
FLUYE项目有效改善了儿童生活方式行为的各个方面，特别是在饮食习惯和情绪健康方面。这些发现强调了全面的、基于学校的干预措施的重要性，这些措施要兼顾健康的身体和心理社会方面，尤其是对于肥胖风险较高的儿童。
