Childhood obesity is a problem of high prevalence and repercussions in adulthood. It is mostly due to inadequate life habits, modifiable through preventive strategies. The objective was to evaluate in the medium term the effectiveness of an intervention on adherence to the Mediterranean diet pattern in preschoolers.
Method: Community trial with two groups, in children between 3-5 years. The experimental group conducted a school garden and the usual contents on human body and health were taught in the control. Two schools were selected by cluster sampling, whose first unit of randomization were the educational areas followed by schools. The adaptation to the Mediterranean diet pattern was evaluated using the KIDMED questionnaire and weight, height, BMI and sociodemographic variables were controlled.

| Experimental | Experimental | The experimental group conducted 10 weekly sessions, with an approximate duration of 45 minutes per session, which consisted of the presentation of food education content while conducting an orchard with seasonal vegetables. Simple recipes were also described in which these vegetables were included to be made at home, along with information on children's books that dealt with the topic of food and were available in the public library. All children in the experimental groups were given written instructions so that they could perform at their home, together with their parents, the manipulative activities suggested each week. All these contents were common for all the participants in the study. Session material was renewed weekly. |
