Assessing the association between health promotion initiatives and student nutritional status and lifestyle: a regional observational study from Italy
While school-based health promotion practices and policies are widely implemented in the FVG region, their association with students' nutritional status, dietary habits and PA was limited. These findings highlight the limited benefits yielded by existing school practices and policies and underline the potential importance of stronger parental involvement, multi-sectoral collaboration and more structured school health policies.
