Healthy habits in primary school students in Peru: literal descriptive review
Abstract
Some reports from EsSalud (2020) indicated that certain habits linked to health had a negative impact on children between the ages of 6 and 12 during the covid-19 period. As such, this research aimed to investigate the state of the art and the promotion of healthy habits in primary schools in Peru. Not finding precedents, this inquiry focused on articles published between 2018 and 2022, on healthy habits in schoolchildren from 6 to 12 years of age at the primary level in Peru. Regarding the methodology; the research was descriptive with a qualitative approach; A bibliographic review was made on websites and databases such as; Sciencie, Scielo, Scopus del Perú and Renati, using search equations; with keywords and logical operators. Regarding the results, 54 articles were selected; 8 on physical activity, 32 on healthy eating, 10 on healthy hygiene habits and 4 on sleep quality. Finally, the investigation discovered that schoolchildren present deficiencies in their eating, hygienic, recreational and physical habits, this due to multiple factors such as; false beliefs, bad practices, lack of basic services; drinking water, personal hygiene items; toothpastes, soaps, and abuse of processed foods. The results collect valid proposals to improve the healthy habits of schoolchildren, and range from promoting physical exercise, offering healthy diets to monitoring the regulation of food products and advertisements.
