Summary
The aims is to evaluate the effects of an multidimensional intervention on the physical-built and social environment around schools and the nutritional status of the school population, through a randomized community trial, in schools in 3 states of the Mexican Republic, using anthropometric indicators, biological, psychological, behavioral and environmental. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the main risk and protective factors for overweight and obesity in the school environment and in the environments around schools in primary education schools in three states of the Mexican Republic? 2. Is there a relationship between risky eating behaviors and the body mass index of schoolchildren? 3. Are the strategies that are being implemented effective in reducing the presence of risk factors and increasing the presence of protective factors for overweight and obesity in the school environment and in the environments around schools? 4. Are the strategies that are being implemented effective in reducing the presence of risk factors and increasing the protective factors for overweight and obesity in the family environment?
