“…From the 17 articles selected, seven of them [19, 21, 22, 25, 26, 30, 33] also presented the information on the prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia associated with overweight and obesity in Brazilian children and adolescents at the municipal level. In relation to hypertension, studies have been conducted in the south region ( n = 2), southeast ( n = 2), and northeast ( n = 1) with prevalence that may reach values of up to 13.6% in the northeast [26], 13.5% in the south [16], and 11.7% in the southeast [20].…”

Introduction. Infant juvenile obesity is currently a worldwide public health problem and it is increasing at alarming rate in the Brazilian population, showing its relevance in terms of public health. Objectives. Determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents between 2 and 19 years old in different regions of Brazil. Methods. The following electronic databases were searched (from September through November 2013): Medline (PubMed), LILACS, and SciELO, using the descriptors and Boolean operators (obesity) and (overweight) and (child) and (prevalence) and (Brazil). Prospective and/or cross-sectional designs studies were found regarding the prevalence of overweight and obese children and adolescents in the five regions of Brazil. Results. A total of 191 scientific articles were found of which 17 met all inclusion criteria. A higher prevalence of overweight was found in the south (25.7%) and north (28.8%) of the country, and obesity in the southeast (15.4%) and south (10.4%). Conclusions. The scope of the studies was mostly based on municipal coverage, which resulted in limitations for conclusive analysis, showing the need for further studies of prevalence at the national level, with emphasis on public health in obese children and adolescents throughout the Brazilian territory.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze alcohol and tobacco use among Brazilian adolescents and identify higher-risk subgroups. METHODS:A systematic review of the literature was conducted. Searches were performed using four databases (LILACS, MEDLINE /PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar), specialized websites and the references cited in retrieved articles. The search was done in English and Portuguese and there was no limit on the year of publication (up to June 2011). From the search, 59 studies met all the inclusion criteria: to involve Brazilian adolescents aged 10-19 years; to assess the prevalence of alcohol and/or tobacco use; to use questionnaires or structured interviews to measure the variables of interest; and to be a school or population-based study that used methodological procedures to ensure representativeness of the target population (i.e. random sampling). RESULTS:The prevalence of current alcohol use (at the time of the investigation or in the previous month) ranged from 23.0% to 67.7%. The mean prevalence was 34.9% (refl ecting the central trend of the estimates found in the studies). The prevalence of current tobacco use ranged from 2.4% to 22.0%, and the mean prevalence was 9.3%. A large proportion of the studies estimated prevalences of frequent alcohol use (66.7%) and heavy alcohol use (36.8%) of more than 10%. However, most studies found prevalences of frequent and heavy tobacco use of less than 10%. The Brazilian literature has highlighted that environmental factors (religiosity, working conditions, and substance use among family and friends) and psychosocial factors (such as confl icts with parents and feelings of negativeness and loneliness) are associated with the tobacco and alcohol use among adolescents. CONCLUSIONS:The results suggest that consumption of alcohol and tobacco among adolescents has reached alarming prevalences in various localities in Brazil. Since unhealthy behavior tends to continue from adolescence into adulthood, public policies aimed towards reducing alcohol and tobacco use among Brazilians over the medium and long terms may direct young people and the subgroups at higher risk towards such behavior. DESCRIPTORS: 902Use of alcohol and tobacco among adolescents Barbosa Filho VC et al Tobacco use is an important modifi able risk factor for the development of non-communicable diseases (NCD). Globally, 60% of deaths are caused by NCD, which is the leading cause of mortality. Tobacco use is responsible for 5.1 million deaths per year, second only to high blood pressure, which kills 7.5 million people per year.65 If serious action is not taken, annual tobacco-related deaths are projected to increase to 8 million by 2030 (10% of all deaths). 67Use of alcohol is responsible for 2.3 million deaths per year (4% of all deaths). Alcohol use is associated with more than 60 types of disease and injury. It can also decrease the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and RESUMO OBJETIVO: Analisar o uso de álcool e tabaco em adolescentes brasileiros e identifi car os subgrupos de mai...

“…Em um estudo realizado durante o ano de 2011, na Universidade do Noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul com 31 estudantes dos cursos de Ciências Biológicas, Pedagogia, Nutrição, e Educação Física foi constatado que 29% destes estudantes encontravam-se com sobrepeso 28 . Estudantes do nível fundamental, de 9 a 18 anos de idade, da cidade de Bento Gonçalves -RS, apresentaram prevalência de excesso de peso em 24,6% dos 590 avaliados, sedentarismo em 52,3%, consumo de fast foods por quatro ou mais vezes por semana em 70,3%, dados que preocupam, uma vez que o excesso de peso na infância aumenta as chances da ocorrência de doenças cardíacas na fase adulta 29 . Outra pesquisa realizada com 424 crianças de 6 a 8 anos de idade em Santa Maria-RS, demonstrou a prevalência de obesidade em 29,95%, conforme o IMC preconizado para a respectiva idade 30 .…”
