Resumen

Diversos estudios demuestran la relación entre la ingesta de un desayuno completo y la mejora del rendimiento escolar, los resultados académicos en la población infantil y la prevención de la obesidad. Sin embargo, la omisión del desayuno es una práctica poco saludable pero muy extendida. Por ello, el almuerzo de media mañana es una importante fuente de energía para la población escolar. Los estudios indican que en muchas ocasiones los alimentos consumidos en el almuerzo de media mañana presentan gran cantidad de productos procesados, con bajo aporte nutricional y altamente calóricos. El objetivo del estudio es identificar los alimentos consumidos en almuerzo de media mañana en escolares de primero y segundo año de educación primaria (5-7 años). Se realizó un estudio descriptivo-observacional en 5 centros escolares, durante cinco días consecutivos del curso académico 2012-2013, en Donostia-San Sebastián, España. En euskara "hamaiketako" designa al almuerzo de media mañana. Los resultados confirmaron la existencia de alimentos procesados altamente calóricos y el corto intervalo de tiempo que pasa entre el hamaiketako y la hora de comida del mediodía. Posteriormente, se realizaron distintas acciones de sensibilización acerca de la importancia de un hamaiketako saludable como complemento al de desayuno, destinadas a los escolares y sus familias, a través de los centros educativos.

Abstract (Healthy lunch box as a complement of breakfast at school of elementary education)

Various studies have shown the relationship between the intake of a full breakfast and the improvements in school performance, academic results in the child population and the prevention of obesity in all ages. However, skipping breakfast, an unhealthy practice, is widespread. Hence, a morning snack as a complement of breakfast is an important source of energy for school-age children. Some of these studies point out that mid-morning snacks often include foods that are highly-processed, high on calorie count and low in nutritional value. The aim of this study was to identify the foods consumed as mid-morning snacks by children in first and second grades (5-7 years). An observational cross-sectional study was carried out in five schools in Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain, during 5 consecutive days of the 2012-2013 school year. In Basque, the word for mid-morning snack is "hamaiketako". Findings confirm the intake of highly caloric foods, the short interval between the time for hamaiketko and lunch, or the intake of industrial foods. Subsequently, educational booklets and materials were produced to help families with preparing a healthy hamakeitako.
