Reversión de sobrepeso y obesidad en población infantil de Vilafranca del Penedès: Programa ACTIVA'T (2012) / Reversion of overweight and obesity in Vilafranca del Penedès child population: ACTIVA'T Program (2012)

Objetivo: Describir los resultados sobre el estado nutricional de niños/as de 8 a 14 años con sobrepeso u obesidad y poco activos/as, antes y después de una intervención nutricional con promoción de la actividad física (Programa ACTIVA'T). Método: Estudio antes-después en población infantil (8-14 años) de Vilafranca del Penedès (Barcelona) con sobrepeso u obesidad y poco activos, aleatorizados en grupo control (n = 51, 47,1% niñas, intervención nutricional y actividad física ≤3h/sem) y en grupo ACTIVA'T (n = 45, 37,8% niñas, intervención nutricional y actividad física ≥5h/sem). Se determinaron el índice de masa corporal, el índice cintura/altura y la calidad de la dieta mediante el test KIDMED al inicio y al final del estudio. Durante la intervención, cada participante estuvo acompañado/a por un familiar (padre o madre) que realizó las mismas actividades que los/las niños/as. Resultados: Las recomendaciones dietéticas han cambiado positivamente los hábitos del grupo ACTIVA'T y del grupo control. La reversión en la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad ha sido del 93,8% y el 58,6%, respectivamente, en el grupo ACTIVA'T, frente al 25,0% y el 35,8% en el grupo control. La obesidad abdominal se redujo del 42,2% al 17,8% en el grupo ACTIVA'T y del 47,1% al 27,5% en el grupo control. Conclusiones: El programa de educación nutricional y promoción de la actividad física ACTIVA'T mejora la calidad de la dieta y revierte la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en la población infantil poco activa

Objective: To assess a 6-month nutritional and physical activity intervention program on the nutritional status of overweight or obese and not very active 8-14 years old children by means of a controlled pre-post design (ACTIVA'T program). Method: Pre-post study in 8-14 years old overweight or obese and low active children from Vilafranca del Penedès (Barcelona, Spain) randomized in control group (n = 51, 47.1% girls, nutritional intervention and ≤3h/wk physical activity) and ACTIVA'T group (n = 45, 37.8% girls, nutritional and physical activity ≥5h/wk intervention). Body mass index, waist/height index, and diet quality by means of KIDMED test at the beginning and at the end of the program were assessed. During the intervention, each participant was accompanied by a relative (father or mother) who performed the same activities as the children. Results: Dietary recommendations have positively changed the habits of both ACTIVA'T and control group. The reversion in the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 93.8% and 58.6%, respectively, in the ACTIVA'T group, compared to 25.0% and 35.8% in the control group. Abdominal obesity was decreased from 42.2% to 17.8% in the ACTIVA'T group and from 47.1% to 27.5% in the control group. Conclusions: The program ACTIVA'T (nutritional education and physical activity promotion) improves the quality of diet and reverses the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the underactive child population

Mejora de la calidad de la dieta y del estado nutricional en población infantil mediante un programa innovador de educación nutricional: INFADIMED / Improving diet quality in children through a new nutritional education programme: INFADIMED

Objetivo: Evaluar los resultados de un programa de educación nutricional desarrollado con recursos locales para mejorar la calidad de la dieta y reducir la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en la población infantil. Método: Estudio longitudinal de intervención por educación nutricional (INFADIMED) en población infantil (3-7 años) de Vilafranca del Penedès (Barcelona) reclutada en centros de educación infantil y primaria, con grupo de intervención o INFADIMED (n=319; 50,2% niñas) y grupo control (n=880; 49,8% niñas). En ambos grupos se determinaron el peso, la talla y el índice de masa corporal al inicio y al final del programa. También se evaluó la adherencia al patrón dietético mediterráneo mediante el test KIDMED. Resultados: INFADIMED incrementó el porcentaje de sujetos que consumían fruta o zumos, vegetales, yogures o queso, pasta o arroz, y frutos secos; disminuyó el porcentaje de quienes no desayunaban o consumían bollería para desayunar, así como el consumo de dulces o caramelos varias veces al día. INFADIMED cambió, de inicio a final, los porcentajes de adherencia a la dieta mediterránea: alta (39,2% a 70,5%), aceptable (49,2% a 28,2%) y baja (11,6% a 1,3%). Los/las participantes que al inicio del estudio presentaron sobrepeso u obesidad y evolucionaron a normopeso fueron un 2,6% en el grupo control y un 11,3% en INFADIMED (odds ratio: 4,08; intervalo de confianza del 95%: 2,37-7,04). Conclusiones: INFADIMED es un programa de educación nutricional con incidencia positiva sobre la calidad de la dieta y la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en la población infantil (AU)

Objective: To assess the results of a nutritional education programme developed by using available local resources to improve diet quality and decrease overweight and obesity prevalence among children. Method: A longitudinal intervention study by means of nutritional education (INFADIMED) in children (aged 3-7 years) from Vilafranca del Penedès (Barcelona, Spain), recruited from preschool centres and primary schools, with an intervention or INFADIMED group (n=319; 50.2% female) and a control group (n=880; 49.8% female). Weight, height and body mass index were measured in both groups at the beginning and at the end of the programme. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was also assessed using the KIDMED test. Results: Consumption of fruit or juices, vegetables, yogurt and/or cheese, pasta or rice, and nuts increased, while skipping breakfast, consumption of bakery products for breakfast, and/or consumption of sweets several times per day decreased in the INFADIMED group. INFADIMED also changed, from the beginning to the end of the study, the adherence to a Mediterranean diet: high (39.2% to 70.5%), acceptable (49.2% to 28.2%), and low (11.6% to 1.3%). Approximately 2.6% of the participants in the control group and 11.3% of the participants in the INFADIMED group who were overweight and obese changed to normal weight (odds ratio: 4.08; 95% confidence interval: 2.37-7.04). Conclusions: INFADIMED is a nutritional education programme with benefits on both diet quality and overweight and obesity prevalence among children (AU)
