Increased Awareness: There has been a discernible improvement in students’ comprehension of the significance of making healthy food choices and engaging in regular physical activity, which has increased their awareness of and knowledge about how lifestyle choices affect general well-being.
Behavior Modification: Evident changes in the dietary and physical activity behaviors of students, reflected in the adoption of healthier eating habits and an increase in the participation rate in physical activity programs, contributing to a reduction in sedentary lifestyles.
Healthier School Environment: the transformation of the school setting into a setting that promotes health, characterized by the availability of wholesome food alternatives, improved chances for physical activity, and a wellness culture that encourages healthy habits among students and staff.
Positive Impact on BMI: A measurable reduction in the prevalence of childhood obesity within the targeted school community, as evidenced by improvements in Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements among the participating students, indicating the effectiveness of the intervention program.
Enhanced Parental Engagement: Increased involvement and support from parents and caregivers in promoting healthy behaviors at home, resulting in the creation of a supportive environment that complements the efforts initiated within the school and facilitates the sustainability of healthy lifestyle practices.
Long-Term Health Awareness: Establishing a foundation for long-term health and wellness among the school community to prevent obesity-related health issues and promote overall well-being.
By achieving these expected outcomes, the proposed school-based intervention program will not only make a significant impact on the immediate health and well-being of the students but also lay the groundwork for a healthier and more resilient community with the potential for broader, sustainable health benefits in the long run.
