![]() Overall, two studies reported that the intervention was significantly associated with a lower increase over time in BMI/obesity in the intervention against the control group. Four studies reported strategies for modifying food provision four other targeted the built environment, (modifying school premises and providing materials for physical activity) a final study included both food and built environment intervention components. ResultsĪ total of 1342 research papers were screened, and 9 studies were included 4 in Mexico, and 1 each in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador. Due to the heterogeneity of the intervention’s characteristics and obesity-related measurements across studies, a narrative synthesis was conducted. This was followed by data extraction and quality assessment using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (RoB 2) and the Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I), adopting also the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Two independent reviewers searched five databases: MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature for peer-reviewed literature published from 1 January 2000 to September 2021 searching and screening prospective studies published in English, Spanish and Portuguese. This review presents the available interventions likely to reduce, mitigate and/or prevent obesity among school children in LAC by modifying the food and built environments within and around schools. Speak to you soon.The rapid rise in obesity rates among school children in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) could have a direct impact on the region’s physical and mental health, disability, and mortality. There are times when a storm hits and I quickly remove the 2 or 3 rotating heads, shut off the main drain and increase velocity on one skimmer at a time and within 30 minutes every leaf on the surface of the pool is picked up. Not necessarily upset about the shipping, but the way they handle things.Īt the end of the day, I was caught in the "marketing hype" of companies, when we all know that "magic potions" do not work. The downside is that it kicks debris to the bottom (leaves that is), and in turn I have to vacuum only a few spots. The upside is that I never really have to brush my walls, which saves me a lot of time, and the water is heated up faster as I have done testing with the heat pump. It is that the rotating return jets in my pool (The Circulators) move the water so fast that they push debris that should be collected from the skimmers away from the skimmers. It is not the return shipping that bothers me, it is that all the reviews on Facebook have been screened and all the negative reviews removed. ![]() If the company stood behind their product, they would pay for return shipping. ![]() A few other concerns are that there is no customer service phone #, and the # that you call only brings you back to the website. Technically, what you are doing is making the surface area smaller and creating more suction. One could basically take a suction plate for a vacuum and cut the inside out or make a larger center and the skimmer will pull even faster. I even used the round insert to create more suction. Lastly, when the power is off, the unit floats. Even under normal conditions, my suction is extremely powerful so I decided to return it. Then I had to literally shut off the second skimmer to get the real effect. First, I had to shut off the main drain, and only then the velocity increased. I have 2 skimmers, and 1 main drain with 2" plumbing and enough volume that this should have worked really well. While this product may have worked for others, definitely not for my pool. I never like to post bad reviews, but this one definitely deserves it.īelow is the review for the Skim A-Round. The product is made of very inexpensive cheap plastic that you have to put together. What bothers me the most is that, you as a consumer have to pay for return shipping, and wait nearly 20 days for a full refund. ![]() My experience has been very poor with the unit and I returned. What they do not show you is the side by side comparison, and there is a break in the video. They show a video of the skimmer basket being dropped in, only 3 minutes later to create this whirl pool effect. I wanted to post a review on the Skim-Around as I feel the Facebook advertisement is very misleading. ![]()
