Resumo
To analyze the knowledge of children and adolescents about risk factors for metabolic syndrome (MS) before and after educational interventions.
A quasi-experimental, comparative, prospective and intervention study conducted in 2015 and 2016 with 43 students in the city of Picos (state of Piauí-PI). Five health education meetings were held. For the knowledge analysis, was applied a questionnaire at three different moments.
Participants' mean age was 12.6 years (± 2.1), of which 60.5% were female. The 'More than good' level of knowledge went from 20.9% to 55.8% after interventions. When evaluated late, students maintained a higher level of knowledge compared to before the interventions. Most said they were able to change their lifestyle after educational meetings.
The educational intervention promoted increase of knowledge and stimulated changes in attitudes related to risk factors associated with MS.
