Children are exposed to nutritional, social, and obesogenic environmental risks from different settings, and this affects their lifelong health. There is a consensus that high-quality multifaceted smart and cost-effective interventions enable children to grow with a healthy set of habits that have lifelong benefits to their wellbeing. The literature has shown that dietary approaches play key roles in improving children's health, not only on a nutritional level but also in diet quality and patterns. An association between the nutritional strategy and other lifestyle components promotes a more comprehensive approach and should be envisioned in intervention studies. This Special Issue entitled "Child Obesity and Nutrition Promotion Intervention" combines original research manuscripts or reviews of the scientific literature concerning classic or innovative approaches to tackle this public health issue. It presents several nutritional interventions alongside lifestyle health factors, and outcome indicators of effectiveness and sustainability from traditional to ground-breaking methods to exploit both qualitative and quantitative approaches in tackling child obesity.Biology, life sciencesbicsscFood & societybicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscadolescent girlsadolescentsadvertisingallergic rhinitisallergyasthmaavailability and accessibilityBlack/African AmericanBMIcanteenchildchildhood obesitychildhood overweightchildrencluster randomised controlled trialcommunitycommunity-based programcookingdata sciencedeep learningdietdietary habitdietary habitsdietary intakesEastern Mediterranean Regioneating behaviorenergy balance-related behaviorsfamilyfamily environmentfishfood acceptancefood and nutritionfood availabilityfood consumption patternsfood environmentfood intakefood neophobiafruitgamificationhealthhealth behaviorhealth interventionhealth promotionhealthy diethealthy eatinghealthy lifestyle interventionHispanichomeimplementationinterventionintervention effectsintervention mappingJapanmachine learningmacronutrientsmental healthmicronutrientsminoritymulticomponent interventionMVPAnoncommunicable diseasesnutritionnutrition promotionnutritional statusobesityoverweightoverweight and obesityparent-child dyadsparental educational levelparental role modellingparentspreschool childrenpreschoolerspreventionpromotion programspulmonary functionpurchase behaviourqualitativerandomized controlled trialreviewrisksalt intakeschoolschool childrenschool mealsschool-based interventionschoolsscreeningself-efficacyself-regulation skillsserious gamesodium consumptionsoft drinksstatistical modelsstresssurveillancetactile playtoolvegetable consumptionvegetableswillingness to tasteBiology, life sciencesFood & societyResearch & information: generalRito Ana Isabeledt1322381Rito Ana IsabelothBOOK9910557338503321Child Obesity and Nutrition Promotion Intervention3034936UNINA
