Changes in lifestyles are accompanied by an increase of prevalence of overweight and obesity which cause health problems. This project has two main aims: the first one is to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention focused on healthy lifestyles, on the prevalence of overweight and obesity in a population of 7 and 8 years old. The second one is to design a programming model of health promotion and conduct healthy lifestyle activities to prevent overweight and obesity. The confirmation of the high percentage of school children with overweight and obesity, justifies the need for intervention to reduce this progressive increase.
