Title: Proposta d'una assignatura de salut en el currículum escolar
Author: Domènech Vilardell, Anna

Abstract: The adoption of healthy lifestyle habits such as a healthy diet, physical exercise and abstinence from alcohol and tobacco is essential to prevent cardiovascular disease. Failure to adopt these habits from a very early age is the prelude to the development of cardiovascular risk factors. Several studies on the promotion of cardiovascular health conclude that school interventions are the most effective way to promote healthy habits at an early age. However, the high rates of obesity and sedentary lifestyles in Catalonia show that these specific interventions are not effective and that long-term programs such as a health subject, already implemented in some countries, are required. The aim of this work is therefore to assess the suitability of including a health subject in the school curriculum in Catalonia. After a review of the existing literature on health subjects in schools, a proposal is presented for the content of the health subject as well as the topics to be covered in each of the courses that will participate in a 3-year pilot test. If this pilot test were to be effective, comparative studies could be carried out both between schools and between students from different centers to assess the impact of health education on students. If the results of these studies show a positive impact on students, it could be progressively introduced in other schools, and health education could be extended to other stages of education, until the subject is implemented in the school curriculum.
