“…Nevertheless, it is unquestionable the increase on prevalence of obesity in Brazilian adolescents, overcoming nutritional deficiencies [2][3][4][5]17,18 . Brazilian studies confirm higher prevalence of overweight and fat accumulation around the waist in wealthier individuals (about twice more), unlike findings in developed countries, where the opposite is verified, even among children and adolescents 5,[18][19][20][21] . It is worth mentioning that almost one third of these individuals showed bad distribution of body fat (a risk for metabolic diseases), with prevalence of fat accumulation around the waist almost ¼ more than overweight (considering BMI percentile > 85º).…”

“…For some authors, the prevalence of overweight in the population groups seems to be one of the factors contributing to early menache 5 . In a cross-sectional study conducted by Oliveira and Veiga 21 , which analyzed 502 adolescents, both sexes, from 11 to 15.9 years, attending a public school in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, the lowest age at menarche was registered among obese girls, when compared to non-obese. This fact may be associated to the weight gain and fat in schoolchildren from that municipality.…”
