Abstract:
BACKGROUND:This study evaluates the changes in Spain between 2006 and 2012, of school-based policies encouraging healthy eating and the undertaking of physical activity (PA). METHODS:A longitudinal study was undertaken comprising 277 representative schools from all the regions of Spain. The questionnaires were completed by the school management board. An indicator for school policies on PA was constructed (score 0-4) from the following indicators: (i) participation in PA programmes, (ii) existence of written PA guidelines, (iii) training of teachers about PA and (iv) organization of extracurricular PA activities. For nutrition, indicators similar to the first three for PA were evaluated, together with access to healthy foods (score 0-4). In addition to comparing the scores for 2006 and 2012, multivariate linear regression was used to study the association between the characteristics of the schools and the changes in the scores. RESULTS:The indicators for school-based policies on nutrition and PA improved between 2006 and 2012: the average score for PA increased from 1.33 to 1.79 (P < 0.001) and that for nutrition from 1.28 to 1.92 (P < 0.001). The greatest changes were seen regarding the written guidelines for action and participation in PA and nutrition programmes as well as the training of teachers about nutrition. The schools with the least number of students had the highest changes in scores for policies on nutrition (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:There has been an increase of school-based policies on PA and nutrition, although there is still room for improvement.
