Abstract: Obesity can lead to complications in health status, academic performance and quality of life. Following a healthy eating behaviour continuously over time and achieving adequate levels of physical activity (PA) have been reported as apparent protectors and are key components for the correct physical and mental development of children. The present study aims to determine the dietary habits, the practice of PA and the weight status in children aged 3 to 8 years in the municipality of Sant Boi de Llobregat. This is a crosssectional study carried out as part of the SantBoiSà study led by the Gasol Foundation in collaboration with the Sant Boi de Llobregat Town Council. The sample consisted of 789 pupils from P3 to 3rd year of primary school, enrolled in one of the public or statesubsidised schools in Sant Boi de Llobregat. The quality of the diet was recorded using the validated KIDMED index and the level of PA was assessed using the PA questionnaire for children Physical Activity Unified - 7 items Screener (PAU-7S) adapted for the population aged 3 to 8 years. The sample studied showed good adherence to the MD, but a high prevalence of physical inactivity, as well as a high percentage of overweight children. There is a clear need to promote strategies for the acquisition of healthy habits, including dietary habits and the practice of PA, which are adjusted to the needs and preferences of the children.
