Summary

Childhood obesity is a major global public health problem. Several strategies have been implemented to reduce the high prevalence, the most cost-effective of which were those that focused on the school environment. Although there is vast research that focus on interventions that address obesity through interventions to improve schoolchildren diets and physical activity level in many countries of the Latin American region, there is lack of evidence of the effectiveness of multicomponent interventions that aim to reduce the prevalence of obesity among schoolchildren in the Paraguayan context.
