Method: Pre-post study in 8-14 years old overweight or obese and low active children from Vilafranca del Penedes (Barcelona, Spain) randomized in control group (n = 51, 47.1% girls, nutritional intervention and <= 3 h/wk physical activity) and ACTIVAT group (n = 45, 37.8% girls, nutritional and physical activity >= 5 h/wk intervention). Body mass index, waist/height index, and diet quality by means of KIDMED test at the beginning and at the end of the program were assessed. During the intervention, each participant was accompanied by a relative (father or mother) who performed the same activities as the children. Results: Dietary recommendations have positively changed the habits of both ACTIVAT and control group. The reversion in the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 93.8% and 58.6%, respectively, in the ACTIVAT group, compared to 25.0% and 35.8% in the control group. Abdominal obesity was decreased from 42.2% to 17.8% in the ACTIVAT group and from 47.1% to 27.5% in the control group. Conclusions: The program ACTIVAT (nutritional education and physical activity promotion) improves the quality of diet and reverses the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the underactive child population. spa Nutritional education Mediterranean diet Children Overweight Obesity Sedentary Activa't Reversion of overweight and obesity in Vilafranca del Penedes child population: ACTIVAT Program (2012) research article
