          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo Describir de forma sistemática las políticas nutricionales escolares de las 17 comunidades autónomas de España. Método Mediante una búsqueda en bases de datos bibliográficas, páginas web y otros sistemas de información oficiales se localizaron 183 documentos de interés. La información se extrajo de manera sistemática con el cuestionario SNIPE (School Nutrition Index of Programme Effectiveness), adaptado a España, y se validó por personal de referencia de las consejerías de sanidad y educación de las comunidades participantes. Resultados El principal objetivo de las políticas es prevenir la obesidad y mejorar la nutrición de los escolares. Las 17 comunidades autónomas abordan el servicio de comedor escolar, 11 los servicios de cafetería y las máquinas expendedoras, y 9 el servicio de desayuno. Todas las comunidades usan el Documento de Consenso sobre la Alimentación en los Centros Educativos como referencia para la composición del menú y la calidad nutricional de los productos ofertados en la escuela; sin embargo, solo 4 han regulado estos aspectos por decreto. La frecuencia de evaluación de los objetivos de las políticas varió entre el 58,8% de las comunidades para el suministro alimentario y el 5,9% para la rotación y la calidad de los menús. Conclusión Aunque todas las comunidades autónomas disponen de estándares para el menú escolar, la cobertura del resto de la oferta alimentaria es variable, la evaluación de objetivos escasa y solo 4 comunidades disponen de normativa de obligado cumplimiento. Los estándares nutricionales deben revisarse según el conocimiento científico actual y aprobarse reglamentariamente, en cumplimiento de la legislación vigente (Ley 17/2011).

          Abstract Objective To systematically describe the school nutritional policies of the 17 autonomous communities of Spain. Method Through a search of bibliographic databases, web pages and other official information systems, 183 documents of interest were identified. Information was systematically collected with the SNIPE (school nutrition index of programme effectiveness) questionnaire, adapted to Spain, and validated by reference staff of the regional government's health and education ministries. Results The main objective of the policies is to prevent obesity and improve the nutrition of schoolchildren. The 17 autonomous communities cover the school canteen service, 11 cafeteria and vending machines, and 9 the breakfast service. All communities use the Consensus Document on School Food as a reference for the content of the menu and the nutritional quality of the products offered at the school; however, only 4 of them have regulated these aspects. The evaluation of policy objectives ranges from 58.8% of the autonomous communities for food supply to 5.9% for rotation and menu quality. Conclusion Although all the autonomous communities have standards for the school menu, the standards for the rest of the food supply vary across them; also, evaluation of objectives is scarce and only 4 communities have approved mandatory regulations. Nutritional standards should be reviewed according to current scientific knowledge and enacted by law, in compliance with the current legislation (Act 17/2011).

            Effectiveness of school food environment policies on children’s dietary behaviors: A systematic review and meta-analysis

            Background School food environment policies may be a critical tool to promote healthy diets in children, yet their effectiveness remains unclear. Objective To systematically review and quantify the impact of school food environment policies on dietary habits, adiposity, and metabolic risk in children. Methods We systematically searched online databases for randomized or quasi-experimental interventions assessing effects of school food environment policies on children’s dietary habits, adiposity, or metabolic risk factors. Data were extracted independently and in duplicate, and pooled using inverse-variance random-effects meta-analysis. Habitual (within+outside school) dietary intakes were the primary outcome. Heterogeneity was explored using meta-regression and subgroup analysis. Funnel plots, Begg’s and Egger’s test evaluated potential publication bias. Results From 6,636 abstracts, 91 interventions (55 in US/Canada, 36 in Europe/New Zealand) were included, on direct provision of healthful foods/beverages (N = 39 studies), competitive food/beverage standards (N = 29), and school meal standards (N = 39) (some interventions assessed multiple policies). Direct provision policies, which largely targeted fruits and vegetables, increased consumption of fruits by 0.27 servings/d (n = 15 estimates (95%CI: 0.17, 0.36)) and combined fruits and vegetables by 0.28 servings/d (n = 16 (0.17, 0.40)); with a slight impact on vegetables (n = 11; 0.04 (0.01, 0.08)), and no effects on total calories (n = 6; -56 kcal/d (-174, 62)). In interventions targeting water, habitual intake was unchanged (n = 3; 0.33 glasses/d (-0.27, 0.93)). Competitive food/beverage standards reduced sugar-sweetened beverage intake by 0.18 servings/d (n = 3 (-0.31, -0.05)); and unhealthy snacks by 0.17 servings/d (n = 2 (-0.22, -0.13)), without effects on total calories (n = 5; -79 kcal/d (-179, 21)). School meal standards (mainly lunch) increased fruit intake (n = 2; 0.76 servings/d (0.37, 1.16)) and reduced total fat (-1.49%energy; n = 6 (-2.42, -0.57)), saturated fat (n = 4; -0.93%energy (-1.15, -0.70)) and sodium (n = 4; -170 mg/d (-242, -98)); but not total calories (n = 8; -38 kcal/d (-137, 62)). In 17 studies evaluating adiposity, significant decreases were generally not identified; few studies assessed metabolic factors (blood lipids/glucose/pressure), with mixed findings. Significant sources of heterogeneity or publication bias were not identified. Conclusions Specific school food environment policies can improve targeted dietary behaviors; effects on adiposity and metabolic risk require further investigation. These findings inform ongoing policy discussions and debates on best practices to improve childhood dietary habits and health.
