Resumo (PT): RESUMO Introdução: Modificações nos padrões alimentares e nos estilos de vida a nível mundial estão a levar ao aumento da prevalência da obesidade infantil, tornando-se imperativo explorar estratégias eficazes para prevenir e tratar esta doença. Objectivos: Este estudo não randomizado controlado avaliou a eficácia de uma intervenção de educação alimentar de curta duração (4 horas, distribuídas por 5 dias) na melhoria dos conhecimentos dietéticos, qualidade alimentar e z-score de IMC de 26 meninos em idade escolar (6 a 11 anos) a frequentar um campo de férias desportivo. Metodologia: Tanto o grupo de intervenção (n=26) como o grupo controlo (n=39) foram avaliados imediatamente antes e 6 semanas após a intervenção (Índice de Massa Corporal e KIDMED foram avaliados em ambos os grupos; questionário de conhecimentos de nutrição foi aplicado apenas no grupo de intervenção). Resultados: No grupo de intervenção, foi observada uma diminuição significativa no z-score de Índice de Massa Corporal (p<0.05), sem alterações significativas nos conhecimentos nem na qualidade alimentar. No grupo controlo, não se verificaram alterações significativas em nenhuma das variáveis. Conclusões: Os campos de férias desportivos que integram intervenções de educação alimentar podem ser uma estratégia promissora no combate à obesidade infantil.
Abstract (EN): ABSTRACT Introduction: Changes in dietary and lifestyle patterns worldwide have led to an increased prevalence of childhood obesity, becoming imperative to explore e"ective strategies to both prevent and treat this disease. Objectives: This non-randomized controlled trial evaluated the e"ectiveness of a short-term nutrition education intervention (4 hours, distributed over 5 days) on improving the dietary knowledge, diet quality and Body Mass Index-for-age z-score of 26 school-age boys (6 to 11 years old) attending a holiday sports camp. Methodology: Both intervention (n=26) and control (n=39) groups were evaluated immediately before and 6 weeks after the intervention (Body Mass Index and KIDMED were evaluated for both groups; while nutrition knowledge questionnaire was only for intervention group). Results: In the intervention group, a significant decrease was observed in BMI z-score (p<0.05), but the overweight and obesity prevalence remained unchanged. No significant changes in knowledge and diet quality were found in both groups. In the control group, there were not significant changes for any variable. Conclusions: Holiday sports camps with nutrition education interventions can be a promising strategy to combat childhood obesity
