“…In this study, the central geographic location of schools was a risk factor for abdominal obesity in schoolchildren. A study carried out in the city of Sorocaba, state of São Paulo, 6 on children from municipal public schools, found a higher prevalence of obesity among children enrolled in central schools compared with those who studied in peripheral schools. A possible explanation for the higher prevalence of abdominal obesity in the central schools of Barbacena, Minas Gerais, is that the environment around and within these schools may contain limitations for the performance of non-sedentary activities, for adequate diet and/or the choice of healthy habits, constituting an obesogenic environment.…”

“…1 Differences between the prevalence of overweight among students in public and private schools is well-studied; 4,5 however, studies that assess the nutritional status of schoolchildren in the same school system, differentiating them by the geographic location of schools in the urban area of the same city, are still scarce. 6 There are also few studies that analyzed factors associated with the development of abdominal obesity among children, considering that most research focuses on investigating only the presence of general obesity. 2,4,6 Among abdominal obesity-related risk factors in children, studies show genetic and environmental characteristics such as physical inactivity, socioeconomic level, inadequate eating habits, and duration and intensity of sleep.…”

“…Em relação à classificação geográfica, as escolas localizadas "antes da ponte" e "depois da ponte" obtiveram percentuais superiores de estudantes em DE quando comparadas às escolas localizadas na serra/rural. Observou-se, nesta pesquisa, elevada concentração de estudantes em DE nas escolas localizadas em áreas que apresentam forte adensamento populacional, com diferentes condições de urbanização e nível socioeconômico, que podem influenciar no processo saúde e doença dos escolares, uma vez que podem exercer influência no estado nutricional, acesso aos alimentos, entre outras condições [15,16,17] .…”
