      <dc:description>Currently, one of the main public health problems among children and adolescents is poor&#xd;
adherence to healthy habits, leading to increasingly high rates of obesity and the comorbidities that&#xd;
accompany obesity. Early interventions are necessary, and among them, the use of gamification can be&#xd;
an effective method. The objective was to analyse the effect of game-based interventions (gamification)&#xd;
for improving nutritional habits, knowledge, and changes in body composition. A systematic review&#xd;
and meta-analysis were performed in CINAHL, EMBASE, LILACS, MEDLINE, SciELO, and Scopus&#xd;
databases, following the PRISMA recommendations. There was no restriction by year of publication&#xd;
or language. Only randomized controlled trials were included. Twenty-three articles were found.&#xd;
After the intervention, the consumption of fruit and vegetables increased, as well as the knowledge&#xd;
on healthy food groups. The means difference showed a higher nutritional knowledge score in the&#xd;
intervention group 95% CI 0.88 (0.05–1.75). No significant effect of gamification was found for body&#xd;
mass index z-score. Gamification could be an effective method to improve nutritional knowledge&#xd;
about healthier nutritional habits. Promoting the development of effective educational tools to&#xd;
support learning related to nutrition is necessary in order to avoid and prevent chronic diseases.</dc:description>
