Abstract:Introduction: Brazil is going through a nutritional transition, which is observed decrease in malnutrition and increased excess weight. Objetive: To evaluate the nutritional status and lifestyle of school children and adolescents from 4 to 17 years old resident in the interior of the Brazilian Northeast. Methods: This is a longitudinal study performed in two stages. The first stage took place during the School Health Program and anthropometric data were collected from 975 schoolchildren. In the second stage, it was used a questionnaire to assess lifestyle and diet. Participants were classified into "not overweight" and "overweight". The significant level for the statistical tests was set at 5%.Results: In the first stage, less than 2% of students had low height for age. The prevalence of overweight and malnutrition was 22.15% and 5.23%, respectively. Of the 134 participants of the second stage, 47.76% were not overweight and 52.24% overweight. Regarding the lifestyle, the not overweight group had a higher percentage of insufficiently active members (p = 0.017) and a lower intake of vegetables and salads (p=0.015). Conclusion:The results revealed low short stature in the population studied and overweight was more prevalent than malnutrition. Children and adolescents had sedentary habits that associated with inappropriate dietary practices favor the occurrence of overweight.

“…Although a small number of studies [19, 21, 25, 26, 30, 33] have addressed the cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities in this population, the results showed significant prevalence of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in young Brazilians. For being children and adolescents, borderline and/or high values for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) predispose greater risk of developing cardiovascular problems later in adulthood [21].…”

“…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.

“…Because of the late effect of paternal weight on offspring adiposity development, it can be inferred that much of the effects are environmental. Schoolchildren from Sorocaba, Brazil, who lived with their fathers who had a history of kidney disease, heart failure, or hypertension were 76% more likely (odds ratio = 1.76, P = .02) than other students to gain excess weight ( 24 ). Previous studies have shown that fathers, more than mothers, demonstrate a controlling influence on offspring food consumption ( 25 ).…”

IntroductionPrevalence of childhood obesity in China is increasing, and parental weight is a risk factor for the development of obesity in children. We examined the relationship of parental body weight status with risk of offspring cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Chinese children.MethodWe conducted a cross-sectional study in Wuhan, China, during May and June 2010. Parental body mass index (BMI) was calculated according to self-reported height and weight. Offspring CVD risk factors, including BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and metabolic risk score (MRS), were assessed through anthropometric measures, blood samples, and a CRF test. Multiple linear regression and analysis of covariance were used to examine the effects of maternal and paternal weight status on offspring CVD risks.ResultsA total of 580 Chinese children (339 boys and 241 girls, mean [standard deviation] age, 9.6 [0.7] years) participated in the study. Maternal BMI was significantly associated with offspring elevated BMI (β = 0.134, P = .002), waist circumference (β = 0.253, P = .04), and decreased CRF (β = −0.134, P = .01). Paternal BMI was significantly associated with elevated offspring BMI (β = 0.161, P < .001), waist circumference (β = 0.404, P < .001), triglycerides (β = 0.017, P = .03), MRS (β = 0.084, P = .03), and decreased CRF (β = −0.174, P < .001). BMI (P < .001), waist circumference (P < .001), and MRS (P < .05) were positively associated with additional overweight/obese parents, whereas CRF was negatively associated (P < .001).ConclusionParental weight status was significantly associated with increased risk of CVD in their children, and the association was stronger for paternal weight status.

Abstract: The prevalence of weight excess, SAH, increased WC and AN in these school children was relevant. This fact justifies the use of these measurements.
