line-height: 1.75;\">Today the global trend of childhood overweight (ages 3-17) has reached a dramatic turning point, and Italy ranks close to the United States, with a prevalence of 27% of overweight girls and boys. A record peak of 40% is paradoxically recorded in Campania itself, where the American biologist, physiologist and epidemiologist Ancel Keys identified, in the post-war period, the virtuous and healthy eating model known worldwide as the &#8220;Mediterranean Diet&#8221;. It is from this land, an ancient model of health and longevity, that we want to start again to promote a new, ambitious change of course.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"sp-sec\">\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0 0 18px; line-height: 1.25;\">THE PROJECT PARTNERS<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 18px; line-height: 1.75;\">Three organizations of excellence are working together for the success of HEALTHY Communities, each with complementary expertise.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0 18px; margin: 0 0 30px;\" class=\"sp-partners\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #e5e5e5; border-radius: 16px; padding: 22px 18px; text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<div style=\"margin: 0 0 14px; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 180px; width: 100%; height: auto; display: inline-block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionevalterlongo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image6.png\" alt=\"Fondazione Valter Longo logo \u2013 research on nutrition and longevity\"><\/div>\n<p><strong style=\"display: block; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Fondazione Valter Longo<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block; line-height: 1.6;\">A leader in research on longevity and nutrition, it leads the clinical study and oversees the scientific area of the project.
