“…The authors studied 941 children from public (state and municipal) and private schools, aged 10-14 years, in the city of Campo Grande (MS) and found that 23.1% of the children were overweight 20. Souza, when studying 1187 students from public elementary schools in Divinópolis (MG) aged 6-14 years, found 24.4% of the children with obesity and overweight, with 23.5% in girls and 22.6% in boys 21.…”

Objective:To determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in schoolchildren aged 10 to 16 years and its association with dietary and behavioral factors.Methods:Cross-sectional study that evaluated 505 adolescents using a structured questionnaire and anthropometric data. The data was analyzed through the T Test for independent samples and Mann-Whitney Test to compare means and medians, respectively, and Chi2 Test for proportions. Prevalence ratio (RP) and the 95% confidence interval was used to estimate the degree of association between variables. The logistic regression was employed to adjust the estimates to confounding factors. The significance level of 5% was considered for all analysis.Results:Excess weight was observed in 30.9% of the schoolchildren: 18.2% of overweight and 12.7% of obesity. There was no association between weight alterations and dietary/behavioral habits in the bivariate and multivariate analyses. However, associations were observed in relation to gender. Daily consumption of sweets [PR=0.75 (0.64-0.88)] and soft drinks [PR=0.82 (0.70-0.97)] was less frequent among boys; having lunch daily was slightly more often reported by boys [OR=1.11 (1.02-1.22)]. Physical activity practice of (≥3 times/week) was more often mentioned by boys and the association measures disclosed two-fold more physical activity in this group [PR=2.04 (1.56-2.67)] when compared to girls. Approximately 30% of boys and 40% of girls stated they did not perform activities requiring energy expenditure during free periods, with boys being 32% less idle than girls [PR=0.68 (0.60-0.76)].Conclusions:A high prevalence of both overweight and obesity was observed, as well as unhealthy habits in the study population, regardless of the presence of weight alterations. Health promotion strategies in schools should be encouraged, in order to promote healthy habits and behaviors among all students.

“…20 The prevalence of overweight in this study was lower than that found in a study conducted with schoolchildren enrolled in the municipal public school system in Divinópolis-MG, where 24.4% of the students were overweight. 21 The prevalence of overweight and obesity in this investigation it was also lower than the general one among adolescents in Brazil in which 23.1% were overweight. 22 The frequency of overweight identified in this study was similar to that found in Ouro Preto (MG) where 19.8% of the adolescents were overweight.…”

Objective: to evaluate the effect of a health education action, conducted by Facebook, on the prevalence of overweight/obesity and adolescent body satisfaction, as well as the relationship between these measures and differences among adolescents. Method: quantitative study, uncontrolled trial, in which 69 adolescents of both sexes, from 13 to 19 years old, were evaluated in four months regarding nutritional status and body perception, before and after health education intervention on nutrition. Results: 20.8% were overweight, 20.3% perceived as overweight and 36.2% presented body dissatisfaction. There was a higher prevalence of body dissatisfaction among overweight / obese female adolescents. Conclusion: there was no statistically significant impact of the health education strategy, implemented in the prevalence of overweight/obesity and satisfaction with body image. The factors associated with the low impact of the intervention and the importance of studies of this nature were discussed, since obesity is multidetermined, which implies that the approaches used for the prevention and control of this condition should be evaluated for their successes and failures to be improved in future studies. Descriptors: RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar o efeito de ação de educação em saúde, conduzida pelo Facebook, na prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade e na satisfação corporal de adolescentes, bem como a relação de concordância entre estas medidas e as diferenças em adolescentes. Método: estudo quantitativo, ensaio não controlado, em que 69 adolescentes de ambos os sexos, dos 13 aos 19 anos, foram avaliados em 4 meses quanto ao estado nutricional e percepção corporal, antes e depois de intervenção de educação em saúde sobre nutrição. Resultados: 20,8% estavam com excesso de peso, 20,3% se percebiam com excesso de peso e 36,2% apresentavam insatisfação corporal. Houve maior prevalência de insatisfação corporal entre adolescentes do sexo feminino com sobrepeso/obesidade. Conclusão: não se evidenciou impacto estatisticamente significativo da estratégia de educação em saúde executada na prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade e na satisfação com a imagem corporal. Discutem-se os fatores associados com o baixo impacto da intervenção e a importância de estudos dessa natureza, visto que a obesidade é multideterminada, o que implica a necessidade de que abordagens utilizadas para a prevenção e o controle desse agravo sejam avaliadas quanto a seus sucessos e insucessos para que sejam aprimoradas em estudos futuros.

RESUMOO sobrepeso e a obesidade são fatores de risco que contribuem para a baixa qualidade de vida. O espaço da Academia da Saúde foi pensado para apoiar a execução da Política Nacional de Promoção da Saúde estimulando o cidadão a ser protagonista do cuidado com a própria saúde. Representa também uma oportunidade para a execução de projetos que possam apoiar a adoção de práticas corporais e hábitos saudáveis. O objetivo dete trabalho foi demonstrar o impacto do Projeto 100% Saúde para pessoas com sobrepeso ou obesidade acompanhados na Academia da Saúde em um município do Brasil. Esse foi um estudo do tipo prospectivo, longitudinal, envolvendo a população vinculada a duas Unidades da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) em um município do interior da Bahia. Foram selecionados cinquenta e seis voluntários, através dos seguintes critérios de inclusão: indivíduos com sobrepeso ou obesidade que desejassem participar do projeto, atestado médico favorável e faixa etária entre 20 e 60 anos. Foram excluídos da pesquisa pessoas com deficiência, gestantes e pacientes que não foram aprovados na avaliação médica. As variáveis consideradas foram Índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência abdominal e variação de peso. Cinquenta e seis pessoas foram encaminhadas, mas apenas dezoito finalizaram o período de intervenção. A maioria experimentou com o projeto perda de peso (67%), redução da circunferência da cintura (72%) e redução do IMC mudando de classificação (obesidade II para sobrepeso -16%) durante a vigência do projeto. O projeto conseguiu estimular a prática de atividades físicas e houve perda de peso na maioria dos envolvidos que finalizaram o período de estudo. Entretanto, é preciso pensar em estratégias para aumentar a adesão em projetos como este. Palavras chaves: Sobrepeso. Obesidade. Promoção da Saúde. ABSTRACTOverweight and obesity are risk factors contributing to the low quality of life. The space of the Academy of Health was thought to support the implementation of the National Health Promotion Policy by stimulating the citizen to be the protagonist of care for his own health. It also represents an opportunity for the implementation of projects that can support the adoption of bodily practices and healthy habits. The objective of this work was to demonstrate the impact of the Project 100% Health for overweight or obesity people accompanied by the Health Academy in a municipality in Bahia-Brazil. This was a study of the prospective, longitudinal type, involving the population linked to two units of the Family Health Strategy in a municipality of Bahia, Brazil. Fifty-six volunteers were selected, through the following inclusion criteria: overweight or obese people who wished to participate in the project, favorable medical attestation and age range between 20 and 60 years. They were excluded from the survey of disabled people, pregnant women and patients who were not approved in medical evaluation. The variables considered were body mass index (BMI), abdominal circumference and weight variation. Among the selected ...
