Prävention wirkt: Das EDDY-Projekt im Jahr 2022/23

A special prevention project, designed to counteract the development of obesity in children, has been funded by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Research since September 2022. This initiative centers on an adjusted nutrition education program and a scientifically grounded increase in physical activity. The intervention is carried out in one school and is being compared to two other schools serving as control groups. The results indicate a significant impact in curbing the progression of overweight and obesity when compared to the control groups. Proposing the implementation of this prevention project on a large scale in all schools is crucial to effectively address the obesity pandemic.
