“…No presente estudo, cerca de oito a cada 100 meninas, com idade de oito a 17 anos foram diagnosticadas com obesidade abdominal. Prevalência similar (8,5%) foi observada em Londrina-PR, em meninas de dez a 17 anos (CHRISTOFARO et al, 2011). Na cidade de Florianópolis, SC (SILVA et al, 2011) e no Estado do Pernambuco (CAVALCANTI et al, 2010) 6,6% e 6,7% das meninas de 14 a 19 anos foram classificadas com obesidade abdominal, respectivamente.…”

“…Em países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento foi evidenciada uma variação de 3,8% a 51,7% na prevalência de obesidade abdominal em adolescentes, sendo as maiores prevalências relatadas em países em desenvolvimento (MORAES et al, 2011), como o Brasil. Nacionalmente, estudos têm identificado prevalência de obesidade abdominal variando de 6% a 14,9% em escolares de cinco a 19 anos (FERNANDES et al, 2009;CAVALCANTI et al, 2010;IAMPOLSKY et al, 2010;PINTO et al, 2010;CHRISTOFARO et al, 2011;SILVA et al, 2011).…”

RESUMOO objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a prevalência de obesidade abdominal e a sua associação com indicadores sociodemográficos, estado nutricional e maturação sexual em escolares de oito a 17 anos, do sexo feminino. Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado com 2.595 escolares do sexo feminino de escolas públicas e privadas da cidade de Cascavel-PR, Brasil. Foram coletadas informações sociodemográficas, antropométricas e de maturação sexual. Para a análise dos dados aplicou-se o teste qui-quadrado e a regressão logística binária. A prevalência de obesidade abdominal foi de 8,2%. As escolares do Ensino Médio apresentaram menores chances de ter obesidade abdominal, quando comparadas as meninas do Ensino Fundamental (OR=0,36; IC95%=0,15-0,85) e aquelas com excesso de peso apresentaram maiores chances de ter o desfecho (OR=181,36; IC95%=84,58). São necessárias intervenções educacionais visando à prevenção e redução da obesidade abdominal, principalmente entre as escolares do Ensino Fundamental e com excesso de peso.Palavras-chave: Antropometria. Composição corporal. Classe social.

“…Recently, studies in children and teenagers seem to confirm the usefulness of waist circumference as an appropriate indicator of metabolic and cardiovascular risk [8][9][10] as it has a greater correlation with central adiposity, and is therefore considered an important factor in the evolution of cardiovascular disease 11 .…”

INTRODUCTIONThe eating habits of young people have changed significantly over the last few decades. Studies show that teenagers tend to have less than desirable intake of fruits, vegetables, dairy products and wholegrain products, with a higher intake of soft drinks, sweets and fast food. As a result, most teenagers fall short of achieving optimal nutrient intake for healthy development 1,2 .Obesity, hypertension and dyslipidaemia are closely associated with cardiovascular disease 3 and the prevalence of these factors has increased in Abstract Introduction: the eating habits of young people have changed significantly over the last few decades. Teenagers tend to have less than desirable intake of fruits, vegetables, dairy products and wholegrain products, and higher intake of foods high in saturated and trans fats, leading to increased waist circumference and consequent increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Objective: to analyse the relationship between dietary intake as predictor of and increased abdominal circumference in teenagers. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 818 teenagers aged between 10 and 14 years, of both genders, enrolled in state public schools in the metropolitan region of Vitória, Espirito Santo, Brazil, from August 2012 to October 2013. Waist circumference (WC) measurements were carried out in duplicate and the arithmetic mean was calculated. The dietary intake was identified from a simplified food questionnaire containing foods whose consumption is high or that present excessive risk of coronary heart disease in teenagers. The statistical analysis was done through Pearson's chi-squared test. Results: a proportion of 55.9% of the sample had an adequate food intake, 15.6% a high intake and 28.5% an excessive intake. Among teenagers who had an adequate, high and excessive dietary intake, 5.6% (N = 46), 1.1% (N = 9) and 2.6% (N = 21) had increased WC, respectively. The result of the chi-squared test indicated no association between dietary intake as predictor of cardiovascular risk and WC, p-value = 0.576. Conclusion: there was no association between dietary intake presenting cardiovascular risk and increased waist circumference.
