The aim of this paper was to determine the quality of life of primary school pupils with regard to their nutritional status. A statistically significant difference was found in the self-assessment of quality of life between the pupils whose nutritional status is normal and those who are obese. Timely early interventions, which have a positive impact on general health status, could increase the level of children’s quality of life.

A health promotion intervention directed at preventing unhealthy habits in relation to physical exercise, hygiene habits, diet and personal relationships can lead to a decrease in diseases during adulthood and obtaining a better quality of life. The intervention had a participative and multidisciplinary nature, and it was developed by health professionals, teachers and parents for school children. It promoted healthy lifestyle habits around food by working on four areas through video lessons, interactive talks, practical and theoretical–practical classes and an individual project on behalf of the student where they had to design healthy menus. We randomly selected, by stratified multistage sampling, three public primary education schools. A sample of 479 students registered during the 2014/2015 academic year aged between 6–12 years were included in the study. After the educational intervention, we found a significant reduction in the BMI of the students (p < 0.001). For breakfast, the overweight or obese children modified their usual food consumption after the intervention for a healthier breakfast based on fruit juice and bread instead of sugary snacks (p < 0.001). Regarding eating habits during the mid-morning break, there was a decrease in the consumption of sugary snacks (p < 0.001) and an increase in the consumption of fruits and sandwiches. We found that, after the intervention, the excessive consumption of pasta for the main meal reduced in favor of an increase in the consumption of proteins and different beans and pulses (p > 0.001). Educational interventions on healthy lifestyle habits carried out in children during their early years improve and correct unhealthy habits.

“…Overweight and obesity in children are present when BMI is above the age-and sexspecific cut-off point established by the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). In recent years the prevalence of obesity in infants, children and adolescents has increased alarmingly (2). Obesity can affect health, educational outcomes and quality of life (3).…”

“…Thus, for boys with an average age of 10.65 years, as was the case in our study sample, overweight is present when BMI is between 20.20 and 24.57, and obesity when BMI exceeds 24.57. For girls of the same age, overweight is present when BMI is between 22.30 and 24.77, and obesity when BMI exceeds 24.77(2).The intervention program consisted of physical activity based on games, with four 90-minute sessions per week, for nine months (corresponding to the school year). Attendance at all sessions was recommended and was mandatory for at least two sessions per week.…”
