The problem of overweight and obese children is a major concern in Malta as well as in many countries worldwide (Malta
has the second highest prevalence in certain age groups in Europe; Lobstein and Frelut, 2003). There are various disease and
illnesses that have been associated with obesity: in the European Observatory on Health Care Systems in Malta (WHO,
1999), along with inadequate physical activity, it was selected as a main target areas for risk factors causing the high
prevalence rate of certain diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke, lung cancer and diabetes. There are also
psychological and social consequences such as stigmatisation (Lobstein et al, 2004).
The project is an education-based type, where adults will be gathered in small groups of no more than 15 at a time; however,
each member of the group will set their own individual targets and responsibilities for their own health.
Parents of pupils (through schools) and unemployed people (through local councils) will be offered to join the programme.
Interested adults will initially be introduced to the project and briefed about the different phases of the project, which will
range from theory lessons to practical healthy cooking and also physical activities. Most of these lectures will be delivered by
H&S Unit staff, but these might sometimes require the assistance of experts with certain activities (eg. Chefs during healthy
cooking sessions). Participating adults will also, at their own discretion, be invited at the beginning of the project to have
their BMI (Body Mass Index) confidentially measured. This will again be measured during and at the end of the project.
