Abstract

The environment has been shown to be pivotal in the development of children during the school age; that it must be taken into account when promoting the child’s health. This study analyzed worldwide literature on school health promotion in relation to the environment. A search was carried out including indexed articles using the keywords school health, health promotion and environment. The search covered the term 2014-2017, without any language or geographic restriction. Out of 106 reported references, 40 met the selection criteria; these ones were applied a bibliometric analysis regarding the environment classification, evidence level and content-based categories. Even though the reported evidence is weak, it is verified that the school health relates directly to the environment from the personal sphere to the cultural and social spheres. The contents in the studied literature can be grouped in six categories: interactions and citizen’s behavior, environment and hydration, environment and physical activity, dealing with special health conditions, environment and nutrition, and policies to promote health at school.
