Supporting the mid-term evaluation of the EU action plan on childhood obesity

The childhood obesity study

Metadejta tal-pubblikazzjoni

The EU Action Plan on Childhood Obesity 2014-2020 was launched in February 2014. The overarching goal of this action plan is to contribute to halting the rise in overweight and obesity in children and young people by 2020. The action plan consists of eight areas for action: 1) Support a healthy start in life, 2) Promote healthier environments, especially in schools and pre-schools, 3) Make the healthy option the easier option, 4) Restrict marketing and advertising to children, 5) Inform and empower families, 6) Encourage physical activity, 7) Monitor and evaluate, 8) Increase research. To support the European Commission with the mid-term (2014-2017) evaluation of the action plan, the Childhood Obesity Study was carried out. This study aimed to provide the European Commission and the EU Member States with an overview of the efforts during the first-half period of the action plan as well as the prevalence of childhood obesity in 33 countries, being the 28 EU Member States as well as Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Serbia, and Montenegro. Four tasks were included in this study. The first provides an overview on the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity in the participating countries as well as an overall assessment of the main activities. The second provides a mapping of the activities carried out, ongoing and/or planned in each of the Member States. Task 3 provides an overview of the engagement of EU Member States, the European Commission and international organisations in EU-wide initiatives, projects, and joint actions in the field of nutrition and physical activity. The last task tries to give some insight into strengths and weaknesses for the implementation of the action plan.
