Abstract
The present results confirm the efficacy of Kaledo in younger students in primary schools, and it can be used as a useful nutritional tool for obesity prevention programs in children. What is Known: • Kaledo is a new educational board game to improve nutrition knowledge and to promote a healthy lifestyle. • In two cluster randomized trials conducted in Campania region (Italy), we showed that Kaledo could improve nutrition knowledge and dietary behavior and have a positive effect on the BMI z-score in children with age ranging from 9 to 14years old attending school. • Kaledo may be used as an effective tool for obesity prevention programs in middle and high school students. What is New: • Investigating the effects of Kaledo on younger primary school children (7-11year olds), Kaledo could be an effective tool in obesity prevention programs for children as young as 7years old.
