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.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscFood & societybicsscserious gamegamificationeating behaviorfood neophobiawillingness to tastenutritional statusobesitydietary habitsallergypulmonary functionallergic rhinitisasthmadietary habitvegetable consumptionfood intakepreschool childrenJapannutritionstressmental healthfamilyhealth behaviorchildhood obesityhealth interventionhealthy lifestyle interventionschool-based interventionMVPAoverweight and obesityself-efficacyadolescent girlsparent–child dyadsfood availabilityadvertisinghealthy dietpromotion programscommunity-based programschool mealssalt intakesodium consumptionschoolscanteenadolescentsimplementationpurchase behaviouroverweightmachine learningdeep learningstatistical modelsdata scienceBMIchildsurveillancehealthnoncommunicable diseaseschildrenfruitvegetablessoft drinksenergy balance-related behaviorsself-regulation skillspreschoolersrandomized controlled trialintervention effectsparental educational levelintervention mappingmulticomponent interventionschool childrenfood and nutritioninterventionhealthy eatingfood acceptancetactile playcookingfishhealth promotionchildhood overweightriskcommunityscreeningtoolfood environmenthomeschoolfood consumption patternsdietary intakesmacronutrientsmicronutrientsEastern Mediterranean Regionreviewparental role modellingfamily environmentavailability and accessibilitycluster randomised controlled trialminorityparentspreventiondietnutrition promotionBlack/African AmericanHispanicqualitativeResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesFood & societyRito Ana Isabeledt1322381Rito Ana IsabelothBOOK9910557338503321Child Obesity and Nutrition Promotion Intervention3034936UNINA
