“…In the first study, we found that 28.6% of 1,215 youth aged 10-17 years were classified as overweight/obese [11]. In the second study, only 22.9% of adolescents aged 11-18 years were overweight/obese [12]. Given the present transition from under-nutrition to over-nutrition, it is vital that we continue to monitor trends in child obesity within Brazil's most populace regions using internationally applicable classification systems.…”

“…In order to design effective interventions we need an understanding of the modifiable risk factors associated with fat accretion in children. Several studies have identified key sociodemographic correlates of obesity in Brazilian children, such as sex [5,8,11,12], age [2,5,13], socioeconomic status [4,14], ethnic group [3,14], familial characteristics [14], parental education [12], and school type [3,4,8,12]. While it is important to determine which groups to target, none of the identified factors are modifiable through lifestyle intervention.…”

BackgroundBrazil is currently experiencing a nutrition transition: the displacement of traditional diets with foods high in saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol and an increase in sedentary lifestyles. Despite these trends, our understanding of child obesity in Brazil is limited. Thus, the aims of this study were (1) to investigate the current prevalence of overweight and obesity in a large sample of children and adolescents living in São Paulo, Brazil, and (2) to identify the lifestyle behaviors associated with an increased risk of obesity in young Brazilians.MethodsA total of 3,397 children and adolescents (1,596 male) aged 7-18 years were randomly selected from 22 schools in São Paulo, Brazil. Participants were classified as normal weight, overweight, or obese based on international age- and sex-specific body mass index thresholds. Selected sociodemographic, physical activity, and nutrition behaviors were assessed via questionnaire.ResultsOverall, 19.4% of boys and 16.1% of girls were overweight while 8.9% and 4.3% were obese. Two-way analysis of variance revealed that the prevalence of overweight and obesity was significantly higher in boys and in younger children when compared to girls and older children, respectively (P < 0.05 for both). Logistic regression analysis revealed that overweight was associated with more computer usage, parental encouragement to be active, and light soft drink consumption after controlling for differences in sex, age, and parental education (P < 0.05 for all). Conversely, overweight was associated with less active transport to school, eating before sleep, and consumption of breakfast, full-sugar soft drinks, fried food and confectionery (P < 0.05 for all).ConclusionsOur results show that obesity in São Paulo children and adolescents has reached a level equivalent to that seen in many developed countries. We have also identified three key modifiable factors related to obesity that may be appropriate targets for future intervention in Brazilian youth: transport mode to school, computer usage, and breakfast consumption.

“…34 It is highlighted that, in this study, the participants whose mothers had a higher education level had a greater chance of gaining excess weight. Although some studies identify higher maternal education level as a protection factor against overweight in children and adolescents, [35][36] it is interesting that higher maternal education level has also been significantly associated with the habit of TV watching among adolescents, even if that variable was not assessed in this study. 37 Children and adolescent who watch TV more frequently and longer possibly have a more sedentary behavior and, therefore, are more subject to excess weight.…”

ABSTRACT:To assess the factors associated with excess weight (overweight/obese) in school children enrolled in the public education network in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Cross-sectional study with 1187 children between 6 and 14 years of age from municipal schools in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais. The prevalence of obesity and overweight was calculated based on the parameters of the World Health Organization, using the WHO Anthro-Plus Program. Logistic regression was used to identify the variables associated with excess weight, at a significance level of 5%. A prevalence of 24.4% of excess weight was identified. Family income and maternal education were determinants of overweight in the study population (p<0.05). Excess weight was configured as an important health problem among the students. The public power needs to implement intersectoral measures with a view to the prevention and reduction of the prevalence of overweight and obesity among school-aged children. DESCRIPTORS:Obesity.

Background: Although clinical manifestations of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are observed, usually in the adult stage of life, there is strong evidence that these disorders can begin in adolescence. Few people who get a moderate to high risk for CVD at this stage can reverse this situation as an adult, which makes the monitoring of risk factors important element for detecting predisposition to the development of CVD in this population. Dietary modifications should form the basis for prevention of CVD, may reflect favorable changes in measurable risk factors. Dietary indices, such as the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) has been valid strategies for monitoring the power of a given population, and verification of cause and effect relationships in epidemiological studies Methods:The present study aimed to analyze the association between quality of diet through the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index Revised(BHEI-R) and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in schoolchildren (N=1077) enrolled in the public school system, in the city of João Pessoa, Northeast Brazil. A cross-sectional study was performed and socio-demographic data and variables of risk factors for CVD were collected. Food intake was obtained from two 24h food recalls. Ordinal logistic regression was used to identify the variables associated with the BHEI-R (p<0.005).Results: Lower time spent on sedentary behavior (OR=1.39; 95%CI=1.03-1.87) and maternal level of education (OR=0.55; 95%CI=0.38-0.81) were associated with a higher BHEI-R score. There was an inadequate intake of "whole fruits" (1.2 points; SD=2.1), "whole cereals" This article is available at: www.intarchmed.com and www.medbrary.com 2 (1.3 points; SD=1.6), "milk and dairy products" (2.0 points; ST=3.0) and foods from the "solid fat and added sugar and alcohol" group (7.9 points; SD=6.3). Conclusions:The importance of providing guidance on the reduction in sedentary behavior and performing actions that promote healthy eating should be emphasized among adolescents.
