Assessment
In school-based programs, what is the effectiveness of nutrition education as a part of an intervention program to address childhood overweight?
-
Conclusion
There is insufficient evidence to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of school-based nutrition education interventions alone to address adiposity in children.
-
Grade: III
- Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
- Grade II is Fair;
- Grade III is Limited/Weak;
- Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
- Grade V is Not Assignable.
- High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
- Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
- Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
- Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
- Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
In school-based programs, what is the effectiveness of combined nutrition education and physical activity interventions to address childhood overweight?-
Conclusion
School-based programs that combined both a physical activity and a nutrition education component were diverse, combining different types of interventions for different lengths of time.
Multi-component school-based programs that include at least physical activity and nutrition education interventions may be effective in improving adiposity measures, though results appear to be heavily dependent on a wide range of program design factors, population and context.
