“…Before the COVID‐19 pandemic, there have been many studies dealing with active and healthy lifestyles in children including Calmeiro and Pereira ( 2019 ), who studied the nature of the relationship between an active and a healthy lifestyle and body mass for children. The results indicated that most children are not accurate in estimating their body size to generate motivation for practicing an active and healthy lifestyle.…”

Objective This study aims to determine the role of the family in promoting an active and healthy lifestyle for children aged 3–12 years during the COVID‐19 pandemic in the Qassim region in light of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 program. Background This study is important in defining the role of the family in promoting an active lifestyle for children during the COVID‐19 pandemic because the family is primarily responsible for promoting a healthy lifestyle for children. Method We evaluated responses of 320 parents completing an online survey about their children's physical health during the pandemic. Results The results showed a low level of children's physical activity and excessive use of electronic devices. Late bedtimes were evident and defined as midnight or later. As well, however, families knew the necessary information about COVID‐19 and maintained the children's preventive measures. The families were aware of the child's consumption of a healthy diet. They helped the child complete studies through distance education. The families supported the child's psychological well‐being and helped them develop some entertainment plans. Conclusions Although the family plays an important role in promoting the active and healthy lifestyle of the child, there is still a need for more awareness regarding the child's practice of physical activity, healthy sleep habits, and correct use of electronic devices. Implications Programs should be established to increase family awareness of the guidelines of the World Health Organization and the Saudi Ministry of Health regarding the child's physical activity, sleep habits, and the use of electronic devices.

“…Good monitoring and evaluation ensures adequate and optimal implementation of school health services (Chidiebere et al, 2016). Scientists from various fields consider the problem of the creation of a safe health education environment for primary schools and monitoring its effectiveness: monitoring the medical (Calmeiro, 2019;Jourdan et al, 2018;Wahl, 2017) and sanitary (Chavan & Chavan, 2018;Madureira et al, 2015) provision of the educational environment; monitoring of school physical activity policies (Jordán, et al, 2017;Kohl et al, 2012;Taylor et al, 2011); remote health monitoring technologies (Toscos, Connelly, & Rogers, 2012) programs to measure the child's holistic development (Seema, 2019); monitoring as a primary information system in education (Lunyachek, 2011) etc.…”

The article describes the results of monitoring the health environment in primary schools in the Kharkiv region (Ukraine), which was carried out in 2017 and 2018. In the study, school principals of 77 primary schools, 42 (the number of administrative districts in the Kharkiv region) inspectors of educational departments, 462 teachers, and 847 parents of children answered the questions. Through a qualitative model built on this basis, the implementation of the health environment in the primary schools was evaluated. The model was built taking into account organizational, managerial, medical, methodological, pedagogical, and family aspects. Monitoring results indicate that school principals rate the state of the health environment in the primary schools slightly higher than officials. At the same time, the general indicator is at medium and sufficient levels. Together with the general development of the health environment, the analysis revealed a decrease in the development of family and pedagogical aspects (parental involvement in health events, school work of young parents, etc.). The decrease in the level of cooperation with parents is also confirmed by the results of the parents' responses. The smallest number of participants in the study characterized the health environment monitoring system in primary schools at a high-level. We reaffirm the importance of involving all stakeholders in the context of planning, implementation, monitoring, and management of the health environment.

The need to adherence to healthy and sustainable dietary pattern in pediatric age is discussed worldwide, being linked to a progressively incidence of non-communicable diseases in adulthood. The aims of this systematic review were to summarize the healthy and/or sustainable dietary patterns, defined a priori, described in the literature for use among the pediatric age; to evaluate the adherence to these dietary patterns and identify the health-related benefits associated with the adherence to these patterns. A literature search was carried out on MEDLINE, SCOPUS and WEB of SCIENCE from 2010 up to 2021, according to the Preferred Reporting of Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (PROSPERO number: CRD42020221788). A hundred and twenty-eight papers were included according to the following criteria: 2-17 years old participants, healthy and /or sustainable dietary patterns defined by an a priori methodology; papers written in English or Portuguese and published since 2010. Fifty instruments with 14 adaptations that measure adherence to healthy and/or sustainable dietary patterns in children and adolescents were found. The Mediterranean Diet was the most studied dietary pattern. Adherence to healthy and/or sustainable dietary patterns has wide variations worldwide. Most of the instruments described have been little studied in pediatric age, reducing the ability to extrapolate results. A higher adherence to these dietary patterns was associated to lower body fat, waist circumference, blood pressure and metabolic risk. There is no consensus regarding the association with body mass index. No studies have proofs of the sustainability characteristics of these instruments, being necessary to produce a new sustainable instrument or test the association of the previous ones with, for example, the ecological footprint. Further validations of these instruments in each country and more prospective are needed studies to establish temporal relationships with health-related outcomes.
