“…These results were different from those found in São Paulo where both genders had a significant association with SEC, and were positive for classes A and B 34 , and from those found in Paraíba where the OW in males was also associated with the higher classes 32 . In international studies, SEC was also associated with OW in females, but not in males 35,36 .…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of overweight in adolescents and its associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study in public and private schools in Goiania, Brazil. Socioeconomic status, family history of obesity, lifestyle, blood pressure and Body Mass Index were studied in a sample of 1,169 Brazilian youth aged 12 -18 years, who attended public and private schools. Data were obtained from a questionnaire and anthropometric measurements previously tested in a pilot study. Poisson regression was used to estimate the prevalence of overweight, prevalence ratios and associations with the other factors. Results: The prevalence of overweight was 21.2%, with a significant difference between boys and girls (26.3 and 16.8% respectively). Regression analysis showed that maternal obesity was associated with a higher prevalence of overweight in boys (PR = 1.86; p = 0.004), and boys aged 15 -18 years had a lower prevalence of overweight than boys aged 12 -14 years (PR = 0.70; p = 0.021). Among the girls, the presence of obese parents was associated with higher prevalence of overweight (PR = 2.42; p < 0.001), and the girls from a C class socioeconomic position were negatively associated with overweight (PR = 0.67; p = 0.035). Conclusions: Overweight in adolescence is associated with gender, obesity family history, and socioeconomic position. These data should be considered when planning intervention programs.

“…The nutritional status, classified according to BMI, was associated with physical inactivity; however, statistic significance was reached only for obese adolescents. These results corroborate previous studies which identified that physical activity among obese adolescents is lower than among normal adolescents, 29,30 further contributing to increase obesity, as observed in Brazil and in other countries 31,32 .…”

Objective. To estimate the prevalence of physical inactivity among adolescents (aged 14 to 18 years) in the municipality of Maringá, state of Paraná, Brazil and to explore its association with demographic, socioeconomic and behavioral variables and nutritional status indicators. MethOds. Cross-sectional study with a representative sample of 991 high school students (54.5% of girls) from both public and private high schools selected through multi-stage random sampling. Habitual physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) adapted for adolescents, with the previous week taken as reference period. Physical inactivity was defined as <300 min/week of moderate and vigorous physical activity. Independent variables studied were: sex, age, type of school, socioeconomic level, smoking, sedentary behavior (≥4 h/day), nutritional status, and abdominal obesity. Results. The prevalence of physical inactivity among adolescents was 56.9% (girls= 57.9%, boys= 55.7%, p=0.46). Risk factors associated with physical inactivity were lower socioeconomic level, attendance to public schools and obesity. cOnclusiOn. A high prevalence of physical inactivity was found in the population investigated. The development of strategies to increase physical activity among adolescents are urgently needed. It can be achieved through content-based activities that promote a healthy lifestyle.

“…A média de passos observada nos diferentes grupos etários investigados no presente estudo apresenta similaridade em relação ao descrito na literatura 26,28,29 , 32 , na cidade de Presidente Prudente, observou elevadas taxas de sobrepeso/obesidade, que, por sua vez, coexistem com uma elevada prevalência de adolescentes com baixa prática de atividades físicas 32 . O presente estudo apresenta pontos positivos, pois, no que se refere ao uso de pedômetros, não há similaridade na literatura nacional e, além disso, os equipamentos utilizados para avaliar o nível de atividade física praticada permitiram fazer uma estimativa da quantidade média semanal de passos, diminuindo, assim, a possibilidade de erros de medida por parte do avaliador; esta segunda característica confere ao estudo uma significativa qualidade metodológica.…”

Resumo -A monitoração dos níveis de prática de atividade física em segmentos da população jovem tem se tornado importante tema de interesse entre especialistas da área. O Objetivo do estudo foi verificar o nível de atividade física de escolares, baseando-se em duas recomendações vigentes, e analisar a existência de associações entre a quantidade de passos/dia e diferentes indicadores de adiposidade corporal. A casuística foi composta por 162 indivíduos de dez a 18 anos (65 do sexo masculino e 97 do sexo feminino NL-2000) based on the following recommendations: Duncan et al. (male: 16,000 steps/day and female: 13,000 steps/day) and 000 steps/day and female: 12,000 steps/day Abstract -Monitoring physical activity levels in segments of the young population has become an important topic among specialists. The objective of this study was to analyze the physical activity level of schoolchildren based on two current recommendations and to examine the association between the number of steps/day and different indicators of adiposity.
