For the assessment of diet quality, the KIDMED score was computed, along with food frequency consumption data regarding milk, fruits, vegetables and whole grain products. Pre\u2013post intervention values were compared using non-parametric tests. Generalised estimating equations were used to explore the factors that influence changes in dietary habits.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>By the end of the intervention, favourable changes were observed regarding healthy eating; KIDMED increased statistically significantly in adolescent girls (p=0.042), while the consumption frequency of all foods promoted by the intervention, namely, milk, fruits, vegetables and whole grain products, increased for children and adolescents, boys and girls (p\u22640.002). Factors indicating lower SES, such as foreign country of birth, lower education level, no income source and high levels of food insecurity, were associated with lower diet quality.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>As low SES groups tend to adopt unhealthier dietary choices, it is of the outmost importance to take action for the promotion of healthy eating, directed especially to these at risk populations.
