Childhood obesity is a growing public health issue worldwide and especially in Spain, where it is more prevalent in southern regions. Factors contributing to this include dietary habits, physical inactivity, socioeconomic status, and family environment. The study aims to evaluate the impact of a nutritional intervention administered by school nurses to address childhood obesity and its health consequences, including heart and musculoskeletal issues. The study compares two groups of schoolchildren aged 6 to 16. One group receives a technological intervention using podcasts, gamification, and virtual reality to promote nutrition education and healthy behaviors. The control group receives traditional brochures with nutritional information. Both groups are monitored through various measurements and biometric data collected over a 15-month period. Participants will be assessed regularly for weight, height, body composition, circumference measures, blood pressure, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet using questionnaires. Additional evaluations include a 3D avatar system for anthropometric measures. The study includes data collection at multiple timepoints from 12 weeks up to 15 months, with ongoing monitoring to assess the effectiveness of the intervention and potential health improvements.
