Abstract

In recent years, health needs have changed in society, especially for children and adolescents. New social habits that are often detrimental to their health, such as having an inadequate diet with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, sweets or sugary drinks, a significant increase in the time spent on screen devices and a decrease in the time devoted to physical activity, are causing the appearance of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) at increasingly younger ages. In addition, the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 only worsened the situation by provoking changes in the habits of the child and youth population, which has led to greater social concern for the health of the youngest members of society. That is why the school, along with the family, becomes one of the main agents of change of such habits harmful to health as well as being an ideal entity for the promotion of health.
