“…Estima-se que no mundo cerca de 170 milhões de pessoas com menos de 18 anos têm sobrepeso (MAYER-DAVIS, 2006;WHO, 2012). Tais dados são de suma importância, haja vista que a ocorrência precoce da adiposidade corporal e ganho de peso rápido na idade pré-escolar aumenta as chances de tornarem-se adultos obesos e assim, mais susceptíveis às várias condições mórbidas associadas à obesidade como: doenças cardiovasculares e degenerativas como aterosclerose, intolerância à glicose, diabetes melito tipo 2, dislipidemia e hipertensão arterial (BALABAN et al, 2004;SIQUEIRA & MONTEIRO, 2007;MORAIS & GIUGLIANO, 2011;SCHUCH et al;SILVEIRA et al, 2013).…”

RESUMOUm importante aumento na prevalência do sobrepeso e da obesidade infantil tem sido demonstrado nas três últimas décadas e estima-se que no mundo cerca de 170 milhões de pessoas com menos de 18 anos têm sobrepeso. Nesse sentido, estudos têm levantado à hipótese de que o aleitamento materno pode ser utilizado como estratégia na prevenção da obesidade na infância e de patologias associadas. Este estudo objetivou identificar a associação entre a duração do aleitamento materno exclusivo e uma possível proteção no desenvolvimento de sobrepeso e obesidade em pré-escolares. Trabalho de caráter transversal, em que 48 crianças de dois a cinco anos de uma instituição de ensino particular, localizada no município de Itabaiana/SE, foram avaliadas quanto ao peso e estatura. Os pais das crianças responderam a um questionário sobre tempo de amamentação. As crianças foram categorizadas em amamentadas exclusivamente e não amamentadas exclusivamente e, posteriormente, tais dados foram relacionados ao estado nutricional. Das 48 crianças estudadas, 6,2% nunca haviam recebido leite materno e 93,8% receberam leite materno. Dentre as crianças que receberam aleitamento materno exclusivo, notou-se uma prevalência de eutrofia (80%) em detrimento do sobrepeso (20%). Foi possível concluir que houve associação significativa entre duração do aleitamento materno exclusivo e a prevenção de sobrepeso e obesidade em pré-escolares, concordando com os dados da literatura. PALAVRAS-CHAVES:Aleitamento Materno, Antropometria, Estado Nutricional, Pré-escolares. EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING PERCENTAGE AND ITS EFFECT ON THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN ABSTRACTA significant increase in the prevalence of overweight and childhood obesity has been shown in the last three decades and it is estimated that worldwide about 170 million people under 18 years are overweight. In this sense, studies have raised the hypothesis that breastfeeding can be used as a strategy in the prevention of childhood obesity and associated pathologies. This study aimed to identify the association between duration of exclusive breastfeeding and a possible protection in the development of overweight and obesity in preschool children. Work cross-sectional nature, in which 48 children from two to five years of a private educational institution located in the municipality of Itabaiana / SE, were evaluated for weight and height. The children's parents completed a questionnaire about feeding time. Children were categorized as exclusively breastfed and non-breastfed exclusively, and subsequently these data were related to nutritional status. Of the 48 children studied, 6.2% had never been breastfed and 93.8% received breast milk. Among children who were exclusively breastfed, there has been a prevalence of normal weight (80%) at the expense of overweight (20%). It was concluded that there was a significant association between duration of exclusive breastfeeding and the prevention of overweight and obesity in preschool children, agreeing with the literature data.
