Some of the most effective intervention strategies included:
- having a school curriculum that places an emphasis on healthy eating, physical activity, and body image;
- increasing opportunities for physical activity and the development of fundamental movement skills during the school week;
- improving the nutritional quality of school-supplied food;
- establishing environments and cultural practices within schools that support physical activity and children eating healthier foods throughout the day;
- offering professional development to support teachers and other staff in implementing health promotion strategies and activities; and
- supporting parents and home activities that focus on activity, eating more nutritious foods, and spending less time in screen-based activities.
In other words, it is up to government policies to prevent and stop this epidemic.
