“…Waters et al (20) así como Mancipe Navarrete et al (21) mencionan en sus respectivas revisiones sistemáticas, que las intervenciones orientadas a la prevención de la obesidad que sean llevadas a cabo en los colegios deben incluir componentes de alimentación saludable, actividad física e imagen corporal, todas estas estrategias deben tener una correcta adaptación cultural que ayude a la adherencia no solo de los niños sino de su familia y entorno cercano. De forma similar, Martin et al (22) enfatizan la importancia de que la medición de la efectividad de estas estrategias debe ser medida no solo desde el punto de vista de la actividad física, sino también de efectos psicológicos y conductuales. En el caso del programa "Desde niños, juntos contra la diabetes", una de las principales limitaciones que se tuvo es la no medición del efecto en el estado nutricional o la evaluación antropométrica; por lo que futuros estudios que deseen usar este programa modelo, deben orientar sus conclusiones hacia ello.…”

Objetivo. Determinar el efecto de un programa educativo sobre el nivel de conocimientos en laprevención de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en niños del nivel primario de una institución educativa enLima. Materiales y métodos. Estudio cuasiexperimental pre post de un solo grupo. Se incluyerona 113 niños del cuarto y quinto grado de primaria, en una institución educativa en Lima Norte.Se aplicó un programa educativo multicomponente para prevención de diabetes mellitus tipo 2que abarcó cuatro dimensiones: información de la enfermedad, actividad física, prevención dela obesidad y alimentación saludable. Se midió el nivel de conocimientos antes y después de laintervención mediante un cuestionario validado, clasificando esta variable en alto, medio ybajo. Resultados. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en las medias de los puntajes de lasdimensiones: Información de la Enfermedad (p<0,001), Actividad Física (p=0,017) y AlimentaciónSaludable (p<0,001). El porcentaje de respuestas adecuadas disminuyó en dos de tres preguntasde la dimensión Actividad Física. Antes del programa educativo, el 66,3% de los estudiantespresentaba un nivel de conocimiento medio de la prevención de la diabetes; mientras que, despuésdel programa educativo, 70,8% de los evaluados presentó un nivel alto. Conclusiones. La aplicacióndel programa educativo “Desde niños, juntos contra la diabetes” aumenta el nivel de conocimientosobre la prevención

“…This transition is characterized by rapid, interrelated changes in body, mind, and social relationships [4]. Most discussions concerning adolescent health promotion include the topic of improved bio-psychosocial wellbeing, for example, by enhancing regular exercise, nutrition, stress management, spiritual life, and interpersonal relationship behaviors [5, 6]. …”

“…Research concerning adolescent health promotion issues has increased markedly since the 1980s and has been extended to include individual, family, and community contexts [6]. Such studies have shown that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is high among adolescents who are inactive and adopt an inadequate diet; further, many countries report low levels of cardio-respiratory fitness in adolescents [8–11].…”

“…There is also an abundance of literature showing that adolescents who perform regular physical activity experience lower levels of morbidity and mortality, even after adjustment for comorbid illnesses [6, 14, 15]. Further, a Swedish longitudinal cohort study demonstrated that increased adolescent muscle strength is a predictor of decreasing numbers of cardiovascular disease events and reduced mortality in middle age [16].…”

BackgroundHealth-promoting lifestyle choices of adolescents are closely related to current and subsequent health status. However, parsimonious yet reliable and valid screening tools are scarce. The original 40-item adolescent health promotion (AHP) scale was developed by our research team and has been applied to measure adolescent health-promoting behaviors worldwide. The aim of our study was to examine the psychometric properties of a newly developed short-form version of the AHP (AHP-SF) including tests of its reliability and validity.MethodsThe study was conducted in nine middle and high schools in southern Taiwan. Participants were 814 adolescents randomly divided into two subgroups with equal size and homogeneity of baseline characteristics. The first subsample (calibration sample) was used to modify and shorten the factorial model while the second subsample (validation sample) was utilized to validate the result obtained from the first one. The psychometric testing of the AHP-SF included internal reliability of McDonald’s omega and Cronbach's alpha, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and construct validity with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).ResultsThe results of the CFA supported a six-factor model and 21 items were retained in the AHP-SF with acceptable model fit. For the discriminant validity test, results indicated that adolescents with lower AHP-SF scores were more likely to be overweight or obese, skip breakfast, and spend more time watching TV and playing computer games. The AHP-SF also showed excellent internal consistency with a McDonald’s omega of 0.904 (Cronbach’s alpha 0.905) in the calibration group.ConclusionThe current findings suggest that the AHP-SF is a valid and reliable instrument for the evaluation of adolescent health-promoting behaviors. Primary health care providers and clinicians can use the AHP-SF to assess these behaviors and evaluate the outcome of health promotion programs in the adolescent population.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/1471-2458-14-1106) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Although prevalence rates in many industrialized countries around the world have started stabilizing since 2004 (1), they still remain at a high level. Due to the direct and indirect implications of childhood obesity, effective treatment and prevention interventions are of utmost importance (2). During the last 3 decades, a number of empirical and theoretical works have focused on the development of obesity in children.…”

Obesogenic environments: environmental approaches to obesity prevention

Childhood obesity is a major concern for public health. There are multiple factors (e.g., genetic, social, and environmental) that contribute to unhealthy weight gain. Drawing from findings on "obesogenic environments" and core principles of preventive strategies to reduce health inequalities, this paper gives an overview of recent childhood prevention programs that target aspects of the physical environment ("environmental changes"). Out of the ten reviews we screened (including more than 300 studies), we identified very few that addressed aspects of the environment. We focus here on 14 programs that follow different approaches to environmental changes (e.g., access to/quality of playgrounds, changes in school cafeterias). Altering the environment offers opportunities for healthier behaviors and seems to be an effective strategy to prevent childhood obesity. However, the evaluation of those (mostly) multidimensional interventions does not allow drawing firm conclusions about the single effect of environmental changes. We conclude that obesity prevention programs should combine person-based and environmental approaches.
