Evaluation of the Impact of Eating Habits on Children's Corpulence

Childhood obesity has been rising steadily over the past 40 years. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) observed around 340 million overweight or obese children and adolescents worldwide, including one in five in France. The causes are complex, both individual (genetic, biological, behavioral) and collective (social, economic, cultural). Childhood obesity encourages the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, and can affect mental health. Without early treatment, the risk of obesity persisting into adulthood is high. In the Alpes-Maritimes region, the commune of Mouans-Sartoux has been promoting a local diet in line with PNNS-4 recommendations since 2011. We wish to study the impact of these actions on the health of Mouans children. We propose a preliminary observational study to assess the relationship between family adherence to PNNS recommendations and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Mouans-Sartoux elementary school children.
