Abstract: The objective of this review was to summarize existing literature on the effectiveness of school-based interventions, implemented in Europe, under the aim of promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors in children (6 -10 years old). A search of PubMed, Scopus, EFSA and Google Scholar databases was performed for studies published from January 2016 until June 2022. Specific search terms and exclusion criteria were used. Based on the results, diet and physical activity interventions had favorable effects in a series of health outcomes, including anthropometric parameters, biomarkers, eating behavior and self-efficacy. Diet-only interventions had a positive impact specifically on eating habits, mostly on water consumption. Most successful interventions lasted for 1 school year and they were characterized by parents' participation in training and teachers' training.
