The prevalence of obesity has not decreased despite the strategies implemented by the health authorities. The multidisciplinary intervention programs whose principal purpose is the awareness of the childhood about how nutrition and physical activity contributes to their health care, can be an efficient means to prevent and reduce the obesity, when education is integrated into the school and family environment. “Health is a right and well-being of the infant”, which can be ensured through the implementation of multidisciplinary intervention programs, based on primary care with the participation of the family and the school.
