Abstract: Objective:To analyze the associations between socioeconomic status (SES) indicators and physical activity and overweight/obesity in children.Methods:485 children wore accelerometers for 7 days. Variables included time in sedentary behavior and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and steps/day. Children were further categorized as meeting or not meeting guidelines of ≥60min/day MVPA and ≥12,000 steps/day. Body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BF%) were measured using bioelectrical impedance.… Show more

“…The excess fat in young people that was once a challenge to the public health of developed countries now represents a growing threat to developing countries [ 2 , 9 ]. However, although 80% of the world’s population is located in these countries, only a small fraction of the researches focusing on its determinants or risk factors are being performed in these countries [ 12 , 13 ]. Given that Brazil is a continental size country, the development of research in different regions may be fundamental to learn the reality of public health.…”

“…Not only is obesity linked to lower life expectancy, but obesity as well as overweight is also associated with various health risks such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, diabetes, hypertension, lower quality of life and decreased general health (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Numerous studies have stressed that the risk of overweight and obesity depends on one's educational level that can be considered as a measure for one's socioeconomic status (SES) (11)(12)(13)(14)(15). Research on the social determinants of health suggests that material, psychosocial and behavioural factors contribute to the explanation of educational inequalities in overweight and obesity (16)(17)(18).…”
