The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children have increased in recent years and this has been associated with replacing plain water intake by sugar-sweetened beverages.

A randomized community trial including 314 children aged 9-11 years from three public schools of the State of Hidalgo, Mexico was performed. Schools were randomized to intervention (two schools from municipality of Apan; six classes with 146 participants) or control group (one school from municipality of Emiliano Zapata; six classes with 168 participants) and followed during 6 months. Intervention included to place water filters at school and classroom lessons to increase water consumption and decreasing sugar-sweetened beverages.
