Abstract Background Japan has experienced a low prevalence of childhood obesity. The Japanese nationwide school lunch program is suggested to have helped this phenomenon, but it has not been proven. Methods From official statistics, we combined annual data for 2006–15 about the prefecture-level school lunch coverage rate for public junior high school students and the prefecture-level nutritional indicators calculated by randomly selected age–sex groups of 13–15-year olds: the percentage of overweight, obese or underweight children, who are 20% heavier, 30% heavier or 20% lighter than the standard weight by sex, age and height; and mean body weight (kg) or height (cm). We estimated the impact of the school lunch coverage rate on the nutritional indicators in subsequent years, adjusting for the lagged dependent variable and dummies for prefecture, age and year. Results A 10 percentage point increase in the prefecture-level school lunch coverage rate significantly decreased the percentage of overweight (0.37%, 95% CI: 0.18–0.56) and obesity (0.23%, 0.10–0.37) in subsequent years among boys, but not among girls. No significant effect on the percentage of underweight or mean body weight/height was observed for either sex. Conclusions Appropriate nutritional intake through school lunch may be effective to reduce childhood obesity.

The purpose of this research was to study whether agricultural high school students' attitudes towards social support for consumers would improve with their involvement in a school lunch program for elementary and middle school pupils. A comparison of the pre- and post-intervention data revealed the food knowledge, production skills, and attitudes towards food production for children among students at the experimental and control schools. A pilot trial study was conducted that involved growing tomatoes and distributing a newsletter on school lunches to primary and middle school children. The study was implemented from April to October every year from 2006 to 2009. A total of 92 agricultural high school students and 20 controlled agricultural students participated during these four years. The evaluation survey comprised questions about food nutrition, food production, and access to health and nutritional support services. The students who worked in assisting the school lunch program exhibited increased knowledge and skills related to producing a newsletter on produce for consumers as compared to the control student group. The students' food knowledge and production skills showed a significant positive correlation with their attitudes towards assisting in the school lunch program. Therefore, the acquisition of knowledge and skills regarding the preparation of a newsletter on produce by agricultural high school students increased significantly through the experience of supporting a school lunch program.

Neste estudo nosso objetivo foi analisar contextos de aprendizagem propiciados por um projeto de colaboração entre Universidade/Escola Pública, empregando como tema norteador conceitos sobre a produção vegetal sustentável. Esta proposta envolveu estudantes universitários na popularização da ciência sobre a necessidade de otimizar os recursos naturais disponíveis, bem como a reciclagem de materiais descartados, a partir do aperfeiçoamento de professores e de estudantes do ensino médio público. O compartilhamento dialógico entre os estudantes de ambas as instituições de ensino possibilitou a experimentação de novos modos e ações, a fim de solucionar problemas como a armazenamento de águas pluviais, compostagem de restos de merenda escolar e reutilização de materiais reciclados para confecção de sistema hidropônico para o cultivo de hortaliças e plantas medicinais. Palavras-chave: Águas pluviais; Compostagem; Hidroponia; Reaproveitamento Popularization of sustainability: analysis of a high school-college integration Abstract: This study aimed to analyze learning contexts provided by a collaborative project between High School and college using concepts on sustainable vegetable production as guiding theme. This proposal involved university students in the popularization of science on the need for optimizing available natural resources and recycling of materials based on the training of public high school students and teachers. The dialogical sharing among students of both education institutions enabled experimentation with new modes and actions to solve problems such as storage of rainwater, composting of school lunch leftovers and reuse of recycled materials to make a hydroponic system for the cultivation of vegetables and medicinal plants.
