Abstract
Introduction/Objective: Obesity rates are reaching alarming levels. Adolescence is a critical period for the prevention of nutritional problems, as it is a time of development of one’s own eating habits. These habits will persist into adulthood, so showing adolescents healthy lifestyle patterns is important. The ideal option would be through school-based nutrition intervention programmes. The main objective of this article is to investigate the effectiveness of intervention programmes based on nutritional knowledge and the behaviour of adolescents aged 11-19 years. Method: To carry out this systematic review we employed Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science as databases and a search period that spanned the last 10 years, following the PRISMA statement. Subsequent to the search, 110 articles were found. Finally, 19 articles were selected for in-depth analysis after a thorough screening. Results: The results show that, in general, intervention programmes have improved the nutritional knowledge of high school students, which means an improvement in their eating behaviours. In addition, these programmes increase their levels of physical activity. However, gender differences are observed, with girls being more concerned about maintaining a balanced diet. Conclusion: In conclusion, schools are an ideal environment for developing programmes that interfere in adolescent eating behaviour.
前言/目的:肥胖率正达到令人担忧的水平。青少年时期是预防营养问题的关键时期,因为这是一个人养成自己饮食习惯的时期。这些习惯会持续到成年,所以向青少年展示健康的生活方式是很重要的。理想的选择是通过以学校为基础的营养干预计划。本文的主要目的是调查基于营养知识和11-19岁青少年行为的干预方案的有效性。方法:为了进行系统评价,我们使用Scopus, PubMed和Web of Science作为数据库,并在PRISMA声明后的过去10年进行检索。在搜索之后,发现了110篇文章。最后,经过全面筛选,选出19篇文章进行深入分析。结果:结果表明,总体而言,干预方案提高了高中生的营养知识,这意味着改善了他们的饮食行为。此外,这些规划提高了他们的身体活动水平。然而,性别差异也被观察到,女孩更关心保持均衡的饮食。结论:总之,学校是制定干预青少年饮食行为计划的理想环境。
期刊介绍:
Revista latinoamericana de Psicología (RLP) is a four month publication from Konrad Lorenz Fundación Universitaria. The RLP evaluates works that belong to one of the following categories: original papers (with empiric and new information) of many psychology fields (regardless of the methodology used) or qualitative/quantitative systematic reviews. Eventually it will be interested on works’ revision related to the development psychology tools or softwares, original methodology papers and researches which evaluate psychology from scientometry. The RLP is not interested in publishing non-systematic reviews or states of the art, case studies, protocols studies, hypothesis or papers proposals, letters, commentaries or essays, opinions articles, politics documents nor other sort of secondary literature. Traditionally, there have been monographics, books’ reviews and “others” published in “Mundo de la Psicología”, nevertheless these modalities will not be considered.
