Abstract

In the contemporary era, in which the hedonistic diet has been brutally replaced by the practice of nutritionism (Pollan, 2007), eating disorders are a serious threat to the new generation. However, still only 4 out of 100 primary prevention programs is effectively improving the position of young people in relation to the risk factors (Della Grave, 2013). Taking in consideration the picture of the incidence of eating disorders among the adolescents, this work has the purpose of investigating, by adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the existing systems of prevention and early diagnosis of ED and obesity, in order to analyze their effectiveness and development possibilities. The use of design methodologies allows therefore to systematize the data collected and to put forward a future proposal for school prevention services, in which the well-being of the teenager and his healthy awareness of food and body appearance can be seen as the result of the cooperation of different professional figures. The research ranges from pedagogy to clinical psychology, from the sciences of nutrition to the sociology of food, with a strategic focus on the phenomenon of gamification, which acts as a glue between the message transmitted by each individual discipline and the Generation Z’s user.
