“…In our population, obesity prevalence (10.4 %) was above the one found in ERICA study 10 for the Brazilian northeast area (7.4 %) and national prevalence (8.4 %). 20 This elevated percentage of obese teenagers represents an important detection of this damage to health in students both in private and public schools, in the cities studied.…”

this disease which is low cost, simple and reliable for the assessment of adolescents, especially in primary care. There are numerous anthropometric methods used to evaluate overweight and obesity. Some techniques are applicable for primary health care, like weight and height measurement, waist and hip circumference and the calculation in between these measurements; however, there is still controversy about the effectiveness of some methods for measuring overweight/obesity in children and adolescents 2 .

“…17 The prevalence of 12.5% of hypertensive children and adolescents in the southern region of Brazil was stipulated. 18 Based on the probabilistic sample selection, the total number of 111 adolescents for inference of the student population in the stipulated age range was obtained. 1.5x subjects were included regarding the design effect, taking into account a 5% sample error, and an additional 30% were included for possible dropouts, resulting in a total of 217 individuals aged between 11 and 17.…”

Background: The proportion of arterial hypertension (AH) has increased in children and adolescents and is associated with several comorbidities. Objective: To verify the association of arterial hypertension with central and general obesity as well as according to the level of physical activity in schoolchildren. Methods: 336 children and adolescents aged 11 to 17 participated in the study. Height, body weight, waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure (BP) were measured. The body mass index z-score (BMI-z) was calculated. The level of physical activity was assessed by the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) according to the practice of moderate-to-vigorous physical activities (AF-mv). Students with systolic (SBP) and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) higher than the 95 th percentile according to sex, age and height or ≥120/80 were considered hypertensive. Statistical tests of t-Student, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and binary logistic regression model were used, considering the significance level of p<0.05. Results: It was found that 40.5% of the students had AH, 35.11% were overweight (12.5% obese), 13.39% had high WC and 40.2% were considered insufficiently active in AF-mv. The chances of AH were related to high WC (OR = 6.11; 95% CI: 2.59¬-14.42) and overweight (OR = 2.91; 95% CI: 1.76-4.79). In addition, adolescents who practiced AF-mv had a lower risk of high DBP (OR = 0.33; 95% CI: 0.15-0.72). Conclusion: Central obesity was the best predictor of AH in children and adolescents, as well as general obesity and males. The practice of AF-mv demonstrated a protective effect on high DBP in schoolchildren.

“…23 The high prevalence of overweight, with significant contrasts in different regions of Brazil, highlights the importance of investing in strategies and initiatives that can modify eating habits and promote a culture of obesity prevention and its comorbidities in the early stages of life. 24 The prevalence of body dissatisfaction was 36.2% in the first stage and 38.5% in the second. These percentages are higher than the results of a study carried out in public schools in Salvador, which identified 19.5% of body image dissatisfaction in adolescents.…”

Objective: to evaluate the effect of a health education action, conducted by Facebook, on the prevalence of overweight/obesity and adolescent body satisfaction, as well as the relationship between these measures and differences among adolescents. Method: quantitative study, uncontrolled trial, in which 69 adolescents of both sexes, from 13 to 19 years old, were evaluated in four months regarding nutritional status and body perception, before and after health education intervention on nutrition. Results: 20.8% were overweight, 20.3% perceived as overweight and 36.2% presented body dissatisfaction. There was a higher prevalence of body dissatisfaction among overweight / obese female adolescents. Conclusion: there was no statistically significant impact of the health education strategy, implemented in the prevalence of overweight/obesity and satisfaction with body image. The factors associated with the low impact of the intervention and the importance of studies of this nature were discussed, since obesity is multidetermined, which implies that the approaches used for the prevention and control of this condition should be evaluated for their successes and failures to be improved in future studies. Descriptors: RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar o efeito de ação de educação em saúde, conduzida pelo Facebook, na prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade e na satisfação corporal de adolescentes, bem como a relação de concordância entre estas medidas e as diferenças em adolescentes. Método: estudo quantitativo, ensaio não controlado, em que 69 adolescentes de ambos os sexos, dos 13 aos 19 anos, foram avaliados em 4 meses quanto ao estado nutricional e percepção corporal, antes e depois de intervenção de educação em saúde sobre nutrição. Resultados: 20,8% estavam com excesso de peso, 20,3% se percebiam com excesso de peso e 36,2% apresentavam insatisfação corporal. Houve maior prevalência de insatisfação corporal entre adolescentes do sexo feminino com sobrepeso/obesidade. Conclusão: não se evidenciou impacto estatisticamente significativo da estratégia de educação em saúde executada na prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade e na satisfação com a imagem corporal. Discutem-se os fatores associados com o baixo impacto da intervenção e a importância de estudos dessa natureza, visto que a obesidade é multideterminada, o que implica a necessidade de que abordagens utilizadas para a prevenção e o controle desse agravo sejam avaliadas quanto a seus sucessos e insucessos para que sejam aprimoradas em estudos futuros.

RESUMENObjetivo: evaluar el efecto de acción de educación en salud conducida por el Facebook en la prevalencia de sobrepeso / obesidad y en la satisfacción corporal de adolescentes, así como la relación de concordancia entre estas medidas y las diferencias en adolescentes.
