Background Children with migration background are at increased risk
for overweight, partly due to less favorable dietary habits compared to
their German counterparts. We examined the effects of practical nutrition
lessons among children with a high proportion of migration background in a
primary school setting.</jats:p><jats:p>
Methods Ten 3rd and 4th grade classes
(n=166 children, 73% with migration background) received the
intervention and nine school classes (n=139 children, 76%
with migration background) served as control. Before, shortly after (only
among the intervention group) and three months after the three-day practical
nutrition lessons, the nutrition-related skills, behavior, attitudes, and
knowledge of the children were assessed using a questionnaire. Changes
between baseline and 1st follow-up among children of the
intervention group were calculated using linear mixed models. Differences
between the two groups for changes between baseline and 2nd
follow-up were tested using linear regression analyses. Models were adjusted
for potential confounders.</jats:p><jats:p>
Results Shortly after the practical nutrition lessons, the children
of the intervention group had improved their knowledge
(β=1.7; 95% CI: 1.0; 2.4, P&lt;0.001) and
skills (β=1.8; 95% CI: 1.4; 2.2, P&lt;0.001).
These changes were sustainable and larger in the intervention compared to
the control group (knowledge: β=1.6; 95% CI: 0.7;
2.5, P&lt;0.001; skills: β=1.3; 95% CI: 0.7;
1.9, P&lt;0.001). Changes in nutrition-related behavior and attitudes
did not differ between the groups.</jats:p><jats:p>
Conclusions Providing practical nutrition lessons in a primary school
setting with a high proportion of children with immigrational background
improved the children’s nutrition-related knowledge and skills.</jats:p>}},

Background Children with migration background are at particular risk for overweight. We assessed the effects of a primary school-based initiative targeted at enhancing physical activity and dietary education among children with a high proportion of migration background.</jats:p><jats:p>
Methods Four 3rd and 4th grade classes (n=70 children, 77% with migration background) participated in a 10-months intervention comprising 2 additional exercise lessons weekly and 10 nutrition lessons per school year. 6 school classes (n=125 children, 65% with migration background) served as control. Before and after the intervention, an assessment of physical fitness and motor skills and questionnaires on dietary behavior and knowledge were conducted. In a subgroup (n=37), after 6 months of the intervention, daily physical activity was assessed by accelerometer-based monitoring. Differences in changes between the groups were assessed using linear regression analyses.</jats:p><jats:p>
Results Changes between the 2 time points for fitness and motor skill tests (differences in standard deviation scores) were larger in the intervention than in the control group for the total mean test value (β=0.38, p&lt;0.001), driven by higher improvements in 5 of the 8 test items, i.e., obstacle race (speed) (β=0.22, p=0.049), standing long jump (strength) (β=0.35, p&lt;0.001), sit-ups (strength) (β=0.33, p=0.002), stand and reach (mobility) (β=0.22, p=0.042), and 6 min run (endurance) (β=0.40, p&lt;0.001), independently of confounders. Changes in dietary knowledge and consumption frequencies did not differ between groups.</jats:p><jats:p>
Conclusions Promoting guided physical activity in a primary school setting with a high proportion of children with migration background positively affected parameters of fitness and motor skills.</jats:p>}},
