Anthropometric measurements of weight, height, waist circumference, BMI and the PAHO Survey (2015) What is my lifestyle like? at the beginning of the program and in the semester after its application. The program was applied for six months only to the experimental group. An average weight reduction of 7.68kg, 4.5cm in waist circumference and a BMI of 29.5 were obtained in this group, placing them in a pre-obese condition. The PAHO survey (2015) achieved 61.5 points, indicating the improvement in their lifestyles. The control group did not show variation in any score. The results demonstrated the impact and effectiveness of the program with creative therapies as an effective tool to change unhealthy lifestyles and maintain them over time.
