Is there a relationship between risky eating behaviors and the body mass index of schoolchildren? 3. Are the strategies that are being implemented effective in reducing the presence of risk factors and increasing the presence of protective factors for overweight and obesity in the school environment and in the environments around schools? 4. Are the strategies that are being implemented effective in reducing the presence of risk factors and increasing the protective factors for overweight and obesity in the family environment?
