Researchers from the Silesian Medical University will check how 6th and 7th grade pupils in primary schools eat. As part of the project ‘Health Staircase – education and science as a determinant of a healthy and open society’, free cooking workshops and dietary advice have been prepared for teenagers and their parents.

The project ‘Stairways of Health – education and learning a determinant of a healthy and open society’ consists of two phases. The first one, running from September 2023 to March 2024, involves screening for anthropometric measurements (including height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference) and body composition analysis. 

SUM staff will also check on eating behaviour and attitudes towards food among parents and pupils in grades 6-7 in primary schools. In the second stage, students selected in the overweight/obesity screening together with their parents/legal guardians will be included in a nutrition programme.
