Implication
Systematic review shows mixed effects of nutrition interventions on cardio-metabolic health and dietary behaviour in children, suggesting areas for future research.

- Sixty-three articles were reviewed, covering 20 interventions with mainly short follow-up durations.
- No significant impact was observed on children's mental health from the interventions assessed.
- Evidence indicates dietary behaviour improvements, but outcomes varied significantly across different studies.
